The  National  Congress  of  Horticulture 
This  organization  was  effected  in  Wash¬ 
ington  City  November  17,  1916,  the  out¬ 
come  of  a  meeting  called  by  the  American 
Porno  logical  Society.  Its  purpose  is  to 
organize  a  strong  central  body  to  serve  as 
a  clearing  house  for  national,  interna¬ 
tional  and  interstate  problems,  legislative 
and  commercial  questions,  aud  further,  to 
to  serve  as  an  active  agent  in  the  collec¬ 
tion  and  dissemination  of  scientific,  sta¬ 
tistical  and  economic  data  so  far  as  such 
touch  upon  the  development,  promotion 
and  progress  of  American  and  foreign 
horticulture. 
Among  the  first  members  enrolled  in 
this  body  are  the  representatives  of  the 
Augusta  County  Fruit  (irowers'  Associa¬ 
tion,  Virginia ;  Connecticut.  Pomological 
Society;  Eastern  Fruit  Growers;  Minne¬ 
sota  Horticultural  Society  ;  National  Ap¬ 
ple  Growers;  North  Carolina  Horticul¬ 
ture  Society ;  Northern  Nu‘  Growers; 
Pennsylvania  Horticultural  Association; 
South  Dakota  Horticultural  Society;  Vir¬ 
ginia  Horticultural  Society;  Wisconsin 
Horticultural  Society,  and  individuals. 
Further  information  relative  to  this 
movement  may  be  obtained  by  addressing 
the  Secretary  National  Congress  of  Hor¬ 
ticulture,  Washington,  D.  C. 
THE  HENYARD 
Oil  Meal  in  Mash 
Would  mash  mixture  given  by  M.  B.  D 
be  any  better  by  the  addition  of  oil  meal 
for  molting  hens,  at  the  rate  of  five  lbs. 
per  100  lbs.  of  mash?  I  am  referring  to 
M.  B.  IP's  mash  as  follows;  Bran,  mid¬ 
dlings,  cornmeal,  gluten  meal,  beef  scraps, 
100  lbs.  of  each.  c.  h.  8. 
It.  undoubtedly  would.  Oil  meal  enjoys 
a  high  reputation  as  food  for  neatly  all 
kinds  of  stock.  Tts  high  protein  value 
makes  it  especially  valuable  when  there 
is  a  special  demand  for  that  element,  as 
when  new  feathers  are  being  grown,  and 
it  contributes  much  to  sleekness  of  plu¬ 
mage.  Its  slightly  laxative  qualities  are 
also  valuable.  The  addition  of  5  per  cent, 
of  oil  meal  to  the  mash  would  certaiuly 
not  be  out  of  place  at  any  season  of  the 
year.  M.  B.  D. 
A  Question  in  Breeding 
What  would  be  the  result  of  mating  a 
White  Leghorn  cockerel  oue  year  old, 
Young  strain,  with  Tom  Barron  liens, 
two  years  old,  of  same  breed?  How 
many  females  to  one  male  bird?  Ten  Tom 
Barron  birds  hatched  March.  1915,  start¬ 
ed  laying  Sept.  11115;  laid  1,625  eggs  up 
to  Sept.  1016.  Is  this  a  fair  average? 
Thestt  same  birds  laid  during  their  en¬ 
tire  molting  period.  Will  chicks 
hatched  from  their  eggs  have  the  same 
habit?  Do  you  believe  in  heating  drink¬ 
ing  water  during  the  Winter  months? 
New  York.  F.  M.  B. 
The  result  would  be  simply  the  break¬ 
ing  up  of  whatever  definite  characteris¬ 
tics  each  strain  may  have  acquired 
through  generations  of  breeding  along 
certain  lines.  A  strain  within  a  breed 
has  developed  a  tendency  to  perpetuate 
certain  characteristics,  otherwise  it  is  not 
entitled  to  be  called  a  strain ;  cross¬ 
ing  strains  puts  an  cud  to  the  ability  of 
the  fowls  to  continue  the  transmission 
of  these  characteristics  to  the  great  ma¬ 
jority  of  their  progeny.  A  vigorous  cock¬ 
erel  may  be  mated  to  twenty-live  or  thirty 
females  of  tin*  smaller  breeds.  Good  re¬ 
sults  are  frequently  had  when  forty  or 
more  fowls  have  but  one  mule  in  the 
flock.  Much  better  than  the  average  of 
Leghorn  flocks,  though  not  extraordin¬ 
ary  laying.  No  one  can  tell  whether  the 
chicks  from  this  flock  will  also  lay  dur¬ 
ing  molting.  If  these  hens  finished 
molting  in  September,  they  were  un¬ 
usually  prompt  about  it.  I  do  not.  be¬ 
lieve  in  heating  water  more  than  is  neces¬ 
sary  to  prevent  freezing.  M.  B.  D. 
Winter  Brooding 
I  have  a  ehieken  coop  l^xlO  foot,  5% 
feet  high  in  front  and  H/g  feet  at  the 
hack.  It  is  absolutely  dry.  The  door  is 
in  one  end  and  the  front,  has  two  glass 
windows  each  2%x‘2  feet,  and  a  muslin- 
covered  opening  2 Vi feet.  The  muslin 
frame  swings  up  to  the  roof  on  the  out¬ 
side.  There  is  a  solid  board  shutter 
which  swings  out.  This  can  be  closed 
and  the  space  made  practically  airtight. 
The  coop  is  divided  in  three  compart¬ 
ments  and  in  each  is  placed  a  portable 
hover.  I  hove  brooded  chicks  therein 
successfully,  during  late  March,  April 
and  May,  and  would  like  to  know  if  this 
arrangement  would  successfully  take  care 
of  chicks  during  January,  February  and 
early  March,  without  any  auxiliary  heat. 
If  additional  heat  is  required  how  can  it 
be  arranged  for.  How  should  hen-hatch¬ 
ed  chicks  be  cared  for  as  to  housing  aud 
feeding  from  the  time  they  are  hatched  to 
when  the  ben  drops  them?  A.  W.  L. 
New  York. 
T  think  that  you  will  find  your  port¬ 
able  heaters  sufficient,  for  this  building 
in  the  Winter,  but,  if  you  do  not,  an  oil 
heater  in  the  building  during  the  cold¬ 
est.  snaps  will  help  you  out.  Ample  ven¬ 
tilation  must  be  provided  when  an  oil 
heater  is  used,  it  being  best  to  cut  a  hole 
through  the  floor  beneath  the  heater  and 
to  provide  an  exit  for  warm  air  near  the 
top.  A  small  coal-burning  brooder  heat¬ 
er  in  the  building,  with  the  partitions  re¬ 
moved,  would,  I  think,  be  more  satisfac¬ 
tory  than  any  other  arrangement.  Hen- 
hatched  chicks  should  be  fed  as  are  those 
artificially  brooded.  Less  care  iR  needed, 
as  the  more  natural  conditions  of  life 
seem  to  render  them  less  liable  to  diges¬ 
tive,  and  other,  troubles,  but,  in  general, 
their  food  and  care  need  not  differ  mate¬ 
rially  from  that  of  artificially  reared 
chicks.  Any  portable  coops  that  will  pro¬ 
tect  the  mother  hen  from  the  weather 
and  from  marauders  may  be  used.

Information  for  Beginners 
I  have  started  a  White  Leghorn  poul¬ 
try  plant ;  have  about  300  birds.  I  am 
a  green  hand  at  the  work.  Will  you  tell 
me  what  to  feed  aud  how  to  feed  for 
the  year  ’round?  8*  B.  W, 
Write  to  your  State  Experiment  Sta¬ 
tion  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  for  their  bulletins 
ou  the  care  of  poultry,  asking  particular¬ 
ly  for  those  on  feeding,  aud  read  the  ar¬ 
ticles  appearing  iu  these  columns  and 
those  of  any  other  good  agricultural  or 
poultry  journals  at.  your  disposal.  Take 
any  opportunities  Unit  may  offer  to  visit 
practical  poultrymen  anil  observe  their 
methods  of  feeding  and  Care.  Head  care¬ 
fully  but  do  not  attempt  to  follow  all  of 
the  various  plans  placed  before  you.  Try 
to  learn  the  essential  principles  of  poul¬ 
try  management,  from  reliable  sources 
and  thus  be  prepared  to  sift  the  advice 
given  iu  print  and  discard  that  which  is 
not  based  upon  sound  common  sense.

Preparing  Mercurial  Ointment 
Will  you  tell  me  how  to  prepare  mer¬ 
curial  ointment  and  vaseline  for  lice  on 
liens,  that  is,  what  proportion  of  the 
ointment  and  vaseline  are  mixed  to¬ 
gether?  w.  K.  8. 
This  is  fully  described  in  Bulletin  86 
of  the  Connecticut  Experiment  Station ; 
"Blue  ointment  is  a  mixture  consisting 
of  67  per  cent,  of  mercurial  ointment  and 
of  33  per  cent,  of  vaseline  and,  therefore, 
contains  331-3  per  cent,  of  mercury. 
Mercurial  ointment,  costs  $1.50  per  pound 
while  blue  ointment  costs  $1.25,  so  that 
the  former  is  cheaper  considering  the 
amount  of  mercury  present.  The  mer¬ 
cury  is  the  most  important  ingredient  us 
it  is  most  active  in  killing  the.  lice,  al¬ 
though  vaseline  au<l  lard  have  some  merit. 
"The  cheapest  method  is  to  buy  mer¬ 
curial  ointment  and  mix  it  with  vaseline 
at  home,  using  one  port  of  the  ointment 
to  one  or  two  parts  of  vaseline.  Place 
these  ingredients  on  a  pane  of  glass  and 
work  them  together  with  a  ease  knife.  Be 
sure  that  the  mixing  is  thoroughly  done, 
so  that  a  smooth  ointment  is  obtained. 
Place  in  a  receptacle  and  be  sure  to  label. 
An  ounce  is  sutficient  to  treat  about  75 
hens. 
"On  chickens  the  most  vulnerable  point 
of  attack  proved  to  be  on  the  body  under 
the  wings,  while  an  application  around 
the  vent  or  anus  was  also  effective.  Oint¬ 
ment  placed  on  the  head  was  not  as  effi¬ 
cient.  The  best  region  for  application  on 
older  stock  is  just  beneath  the  vent.  The 
method  of  application  is  to  take  an 
amount  about  the  size  of  a  pea.  on  the 
linger,  and  after  parting  the  feathers,  rub 
it  on  the  flesh  just  below  the  vent.  This 
will  not  cover  a  large  area,  but  it  is  not 
necessary  to  do  so.  This  method  has 
been  proved  successfully  by  repeated  tests 
and  has  many  advantages  over  other 
methods.” 
This  ointment  must-  not  he,  put  on  hens 
which  arc  brooding  little  chicks! 
‘‘Loos:  here,”  exclaimed  the  new  tenant, 
indignantly.  "You  advertised  this  place 
as  being  near  the  water.  I’ve  looked  in 
every  direction  and  I  don’t  see  any 
water.”  "You  haven’t  looked  in  the  cel¬ 
lar  yet,”  replied  the  agent. — Melbourne
