NOTES ON THE CHAR- LOTTETOWN EGG LAYING CONTEST

There was a further falling oft’ of 75 eggs ill the Third Prince Ed- ward Island Egg Laying Contest for the 25th week. The dull, damp weather produced cold with an odd lien in several of the boluses. The total number of eggs laid in the 25 pens was 1,110; the grand total

There are 10 hens .in each pen, and only one pen laid a possible of 10 eggs during the lweek. however, laid a possible of 7 eggs during the week, 53 hns laid 6 eggs

Dairy science has been respon- sible for a large portion of this advance and the modern plan of record {keeping has gllven the dairy- man a knowledge of this herd that could never have been arrived at in any other way.

When one hears alfanmer inquire where he can get. a supply of milk sheet and equipment for record keeping we know he is tal-ring greater interest in bis herd and has made the resolve to make the most of his investment.

For the benefit of any farmer who Ill not in touch ‘with the ‘work I

The Federal Department of Ag-'

riculture supplies free blanlk sheets of three classes as regards time, ‘namely weekly, daily for the month- and the three days‘ per montihl sheets.

To those who have never adopted the plan of systematic weighing of each‘ cow's "milk, l would strongly ad- vise to start at once, the investment is trifling and 1 can guarantee it will not only pay you the largest dividend you have ever received on monies invest-ed lbut also that you will receive many surprises.

li it is at all possible have your samples listed monthly, but ‘ii you cannot do so a record of weights is much bl-ttsr than no weights.

No farmer can afford to ‘loose money by keeping a number of boarders in his stable but worst of all it he has no records he is “going it blind" in the raising of heifers to replenish his herd.
