It was crippled, hence its low price; but much coddling on his part saved its life-and it grew to maturity. The next summer she raised a brood of chickens which were sold for $1.50. With this mondy Van bought a pig. It was a I runt pig, but care and good feeding for a few months made it well worth the $9.36 for which its owner sold it. Immediately the young financier bought @ helfer calf with the price paid him for the hos.

BARRED IOCKEN LEAD ( IN 46TH WEEK AT STORRS In the forty-sixth week of the egm laying contest the hens dropped 62 eggs as compared with-the previous week's vield, but they lnid six more eggs than M five vear average for the forty-sixth week. The total for all pens was 3112 eggs or a yield of 44.4 per cent. A pen of Barred Rocks owned by E. C. Fore- man, Collingswood, Ontario, won first place for the week, with a yield of 50 €ges. A pen of White Leghorns ownea by W. Edgar Baker, Moriches, Long Is- land, fas second with a yield of 48 eggs. Two pens of Leghorns, one pen each by Wyandottes, Rocks and Reds, were all tied for third place with a yield of 47 eggs. These pens were owned by Wiil- ana Farm, Elizabeth, N. J., Hollywood Farm, Columbuia, Conn., Jules F. Fran. cals, Westhampton Beach, Long Igland and Deer Brook Poultry Farm, Short Falls, N. H. A Massachusetts pen of White ymouth Rocks entered by 8. Bradford Allyn from Belmont, a Con- necticut pen of White Wyandottes enter- ed by Harry D. Emmons of Plymouth, and a New Jersey pen of White Leghorns entered by Tmperial Poultry Farm from Elizabeth, all tied for fourth place with a vield of 44 eggs. During the forty- sixth week of the corgeat the hens laid 3112 eggs or 259 1-3 ‘dozen. According. to the Producers’ Cuarrent these eggs are worth $212.65. During the twenty-eighth week the ‘hens laid 4712 eggs or 392 2-3 dozen. The Producers’ Current whole- sale market price at that time was 52 cents per dozen giving the value for the eggs during the twenty-eighth week of $204.18. It is readily seen that hen do not have to lay as many eggs at this sea- son of the vear to be equal to the valus of ‘eges during the season of low pric- es.
