EGG-LAYING  CONTEST 
The  hens  during  the  fortieth  week  have 
put  on  a  spurt  and  gained  135  eggs  over 
last  week’s  production,  the  total  this 
week  being  3.777.  Oakercst  Farm's  White 
Leghorns  take  first  place  with  a  score  of 
57;  with  A.  B.  Hull’s  White  Leghorns  a 
close  second  with  5<i  to  their  credit.  Al¬ 
bert  T.  Le  Men’s  White  Ttocks  from 
Massachusetts  are  thud  with  a  record 
of  55,  followed  by  three  pens  with  54, 
Merrythought  Farm’s  White  Wyandottes 
and  Mrs.  Kollin  S.  Woodruffs  and  W.  E. 
Atkinson’s  White  Leghorns.  In  the 
totals  Obed  G.  Knight's  White  Wyan¬ 
dottes  have  gained  six  more,  and  now 
stand  03  eggs  ahead  of  Torn  Barron’s 
White  Wyandottes,  their  nearest  compet¬ 
itors.  Will  Barron’s  English  White  Leg¬ 
horns  hold  third  place  with  a  total  of 
1,023. 
The  Poultry  Experiment  Station  at 
Mountain  Grove,  Missouri,  wishing  to  be 
of  the  greatest  possible  benefit,  to  the 
poultrymen  of  the  State,  sent  out  recently 
a  circular  letter  asking  about  20  ques- 
ticms,  one  of  which  was.  “What  problem 
causes  you  the  most  trouble,  the  solution 
of  which  would  do  you  l ho  most  good?” 
Tn  their  July  report  they  give  a  con¬ 
densed  list  of  the  first  530  answers.  One 
man  wanted  to  know  “how  to  work  20 
hours  a  day?”  but  over  50  per  cent,  of 
the  answers  dealt,  with  the  problems  con¬ 
cerning  the  reproduction  of  the  flock  cov¬ 
ering  a  space  of  time  of  six  to  eight 
weeks,  from  the  fertility  of  eggs  to  the 
growing  of  the  chicks.  The  largest  num¬ 
ber  of  answers  concerned  all  forms  of 
diarrhoea  of  young  ohicks.  The  next 
largest  number  was.  as  to  the  “cause  and 
prevention  of  chicks  dying  in  the  shell. 
The  third  was  concerning  “the  control  of 
lice  and  mites."  while  35  asked  “the  best 
way  to  start,  baby  chicks  for  the  first  few 
weeks.”  Two  asked  “how  to  condition 
and  prepare  birds  for  the.  show  room.” 
The  long  list  of  answers  would  require  a 
column  of  The  It  NT.-Y.  These  various 
problems  will  be  taken  up  by  the  station 
and  answered  in  the  coming  months  as 
well  as  they  can  be  determined.

Control  of  Molt 
When  is  the  best  time  to  molt  hens  for 
Winter  layers,  also  if  to  be  used  for 
breeders  in  Spring?  Tell  me  how  to  feed 
so  tis  to  control  the  molting  period. 
Michigan.  c.  F.  G. 
The  control  of  molting  is  not  practica¬ 
ble,  and,  so  far  as  I  know,  not.  practiced 
by  practical  poultrymen.  A  starvation 
diet  for  a  short  time  followed  by  exces¬ 
sive  feeding-  on  high  protein  food  will 
Cause  fowls  to  molt  prematurely  but  the 
results  have  not  proved  satisfactory,  and, 
as  one  experiment  station  which  tried  the 
plan  out  pretty  thoroughly  puts  it,  it  has 
been  found  best,  to  permit  hens  to  molt 
naturally,  and  not  to  endeavor  to  try  to 
change  the  natural  habit  of  the  fowls  in 
this  matter.  m.  b.  d.

however,  and  unless  some  attention  is  *  n8  ma- 
paid  to  the  tastes  of  the  fowls,  food  may  I  know  of  no  experiments  which  settle 
he  wasted.  Oats,  rye  and  barley  are  not  the  matter  of  the  comparative  value  of 
as  greedily  eaten  as  the  other  grains  and  hand  and  hopper  feeding,  but  I  believe 
should  be  given  in  correspondingly  small  that  there  is  little  doubt  that  hand  feed- 
proportion.  Corn  may  well  be  supple-  ing  by  competent  anil  interested  care- 
merited  by  the  other  grains  mentioned,  takers  is  superior  to  hopper  feeding  when 
given  in  such  proportions  as  the  tastes  of  production  alone  is  considered.  When 
the  fowls  and  the  relative  prices  of  the  labor  costs  arc  taken  inlo  Consideration, 
grains  dictate.  A  mixture  is  undoubtedly  however,  the  matter  assumes  another  as- 
bettcr  than  any  one  grain,  though  wheat  pact.  Hopper  feeding  enables  one  man

Maine.  F.  E.  H, 
The  ration  that  you  are  feeding  is  a 
good  one  though  the  addition  of  whole 
wheat  would  improve  it.  Whether  or  not 
this  addition  would  prove  profitable  with 
wheat  at  its  present  price  is  an  open 
question  however.  No  one  can  say  defin¬ 
itely  how  much  food  any  flock  should 
have;  they  should  have  all  they  want  and 
their  wants  vary  from  time  to  time. 
Probably  the  majority  of  poultrymen  feed 
the  mash  dry  and  keep  it  constantly  be¬ 
fore  the  hens.  Some  find  that  their  flocks 
of  the  heavier  breeds  are  inclined  to  cat, 
loaf  and  grow  too  fat  if  mash  is  before 
them  all  the  time  and  they  open  dry 
mash  hoppers  only  during  the  afterno  ii. 
The  whole  grain  should  lie  fed  night  and 
morning,  and  the  amount  regulated  by 
the  appetite  of  the  fowls,  giving  all  that 
will  he  quickly  cleaned  up  but  none  to  lie 
wasted. 
Figuring  nutritive  ratios  of  poultry  ra¬ 
tions  is  a  form  of  mathematical  exercise 
not  much  indulged  in  by  poultrymen.  It 
could  not  he  done  exactly  without  know¬ 
ing  just  what  amounts  by  weight,  of  each 
ingredient  the  fowls  ate.  and  that,  of 
course,  varies  with  every  feeding  and 
each  individual  fowl.  Taken  with  their 
other  foods,  however,  lims  seem  to  do 
best  on  a  somewhat  narrower  grain  ra¬ 
tion  than  is  ordinarily  fed  milch  cows; 
one  part  of  protein  to  four  or  live  parts 
of  carbohydrates  being  about  right.  You 
cannot  balance  rations  without  the  aid  of 
tables  showing  the  nutritive  contents  of 
the  various  grains.  Your  State  Experi¬ 
ment  Station  at  Orono  will  probably  he 
able  to  furnish  you  with  a  bulletin  con¬ 
taining  these  tables  and  directions  for 
using  them ;  if  not  an  application  to 
State  College  of  Agriculture  at  Ithaca, 
N.  Y..  asking  for  their  bulletin  “Comput¬
