Quantity of Feed Required 
For egg production, can you tell me 
how many ounces of food a lieu should 
receive each day besides the dry mash? 
By throwing the food to them I do not 
know whether my liens are underfed or 
overfed. . T. J. lx. 
New York. 
Mens having dry mash constantly before 
them will usually consume for 8 to 10 qts. 
of hard grains per 100 fowls daily in addi¬ 
tion. They should have nearly equal 
amounts, by weight, of mash and grain, 
though when laying heavily they will 
need a little more mash than grain. 
When egg production slackens in Sum¬ 
mer qnd Fall it is good practice also to 
encourage the eating of still more mash 
hy giving a light feeding at noon of the 
same ground grain mixture moistened 
with skim-milk or water. The whole 
grains nre fed twice daily in the litter, 
giving a lighl feeding, say two to three 
quarts per 100 fowls, in the morning, 
and the balance just before the fowls go 
to roost. By withholding or increasing 
the amount of whole grain given in the 
morning the quantity of mash consumed 
during the day can in a measure be regu¬ 
lated. The grain, being move palatable, 
will he eaten in preference to the mash. 
A hen is underfed when given less than 
she Avill cat, and overfed when uneaten 
grain remains in the litter after she has 
gone to roost at night. Ability to lay de¬ 
pends very largely upon ability to eat 
and digest food; the good layer is a good 
feeder. If you give your hens a light 
feeding of grain in the morning all the 
mash that they will consume through the 
day, and send them to their perches at 
night with crops chock full, you will have 
done your duty hy them and need not 
weigh out their daily ration. M. B. D. 
is equal parts by weight of cornmeal, 
ground oats, wheat middlings, wheat 
bran and beef .scrap; this as dry mash. 
Crack corn and wheat are fed ns scratch 
grains. These are equally well adapted 
for growing chicks, hut a greater propor¬ 
tion of cornmeal is usually given when a 
specially fattening food is needed.

Construction of Henhouse 
I am planning to build a poultry house 
S feet high in front and 0 feet in hack, 
and 20 feet deep by 60 feet. long. Will 
you kindly tell me what size windows to 
use nn the south side, also how large an 
opening for curtains? w. W. 
Connecticut. 
A height of f» feet in the rear would be 
sufficient and would give better pitch to 
your roof. There is no definite amount 
of window space required, hut it should 
be sufficient to flood the interior of the 
building with sunlight, perhaps a third 
of the wall space upon the south side. 
Large sashes are to be preferred to small 
ones, and the windows should reach from 
about. 2 feet from the floor to near the 
plate. The upper sash, if a double sash 
window is used, should he arranged to 
till hack into the building for about a 
foot, at the top for ventilation. The side 
openings thus made should lie dosed by 
V-shaped hoards (hopper sides), thus 
forcing the air to enter over tin- top. In 
warm weather the windows should he en¬ 
tirely removed. With sufficient window 
space curtains are not needed. Ventila¬ 
tion may as well be secured in cold 
weather as described above, and wire 
poultry netting is sufficiently tight in the 
Summer. m. b. d.

Inflamed Oviduct; Cornell Ration 
1. I have a new trouble with my chick¬ 
ens. They seem to got weak in a very 
short time; in less than a day they die. 
They strain somewhat, and discharge a 
white and black fluid and bleed, get all 
bloody behind, and Combs aud wattles get 
clear white. Our chickens are confined 
and still lay well. We feed good corn 
and oafs and dry mash. 2. Will you 
give me the Cornell formulas for making 
feed for laying fowls, raising chickens 
and fattening for market? H.J. s. 
Pennsylvania. 
1. There is evidently an acute inflam¬ 
mation of the oviduct present, here, with 
ill ceding and diarrhoea. I do not know 
its cause, thought there is difficulty in 
laying, either as a cause or result of the 
trouble. lOggs are found blood streaked 
anil an inflamed vent attracts other fowls 
lo peck at and often kill the victim. If 
the sick fowl is found in time. it. would 
be good treatment to remove bet* from 
the flock and administer a teaspoonful of 
Epsom salts in a little moist mash or in 
water. She should then he fed lightly 
until recovery nr death. In I he cases 
that I have seen, however, death comes 
quickly after tho first symptoms are noted 
and there is little time or opportunity for 
treatment.
