THE HENYARD 
Laying Ration 
Are the scraps that are left from trying 
out lard in urious to hens? I have tried 
chopping them up and mixing with their 
dry mash, hut they are so greasy that 
large pieces often adhere and cannot he 
mixed evenly nr i'j small portions. We 
hud been feeding these with various other 
waste meals from a f?T5-lb. hog, killed 
about December 1; also some bepf from a 
quarter bought about. Christinas. IV- 
! ween December 15 nnd January 15 we 
lost six hens, some with evident signs of 
diarrhoea, and others with no outward in¬ 
dication of cause that I could discover. 
A neighbor who has taken a poultry 
course in Cornell says pork is bad for 
hens. If so, what good use can I make of 
thpse scraps? I have read the article 
about “Mapcs the Hen Man.” I note that 
he has been feeding less than 10 lbs. of 
scratch grain per 100 birds each day. I 
find my hens very clamorous if they do 
not have considerably more than that. 
What do you think of this ration that I 
arn giving my 405 hens (S. C. White Leg¬ 
horns) : 100 lbs. cracked corn. 32 lbs. 
oats. 2S lbs. wheat? With this I give, 
early, about eight quarts swelled oats 
(eight quarts on which boiling water is 
poured, one day soon after breakfast, and 
fed out first thing next morning). I 
have used this ns next best to sprouted 
o-its, not having harvested my usual sup¬ 
ply of cabbages and mangels. Since read¬ 
ing Mape’s article and some others I have 
cut down a little on my scratch groins, 
giving about 40 lbs. per day, besides the 
oats, nr 48 lbs. in all. For dry mash I 
use 75 lbs. ground corn nnd oats, 37)4 lbs. 
bran, 37 1 4 lbs. floor middlings, 20 Ihs. 
meat scraps, 2 lbs. pach of oilmeal, char¬ 
coal, grits and oyster shells, making about 
ISO lbs., which lasts about four days or a 
lUtle over, about 40 Ihs. per day. T have 
235 pullets, about 100 old hens, all run¬ 
ning together at present. I am getting 
about 170 eggs per day. probably very few 
old heus laying. We put in electric lights 
about December 1. F.gg record went up 
from 32 December 1 to 107 December 31. 
Pullets probably were just ready to go to 
laying, though I think lights must have 
greatly stimulated. I have a switch near 
my bed and turn on lights about 4:30 
a \m. My hens get about 32 lbs. sour 
milk each day; that is why I skimp a lit¬ 
tle on meat scraps. M. u. B. 
Eagle Bridge. N. Y. 
I have never known homemade pork 
cracklings to injure heus if fed in small 
amounts, but cannot say what large quan¬ 
tities might do. especially if salted. I 
think, however, that you may safely feed 
the quantity that you have, a little at a 
time. Eight to 10 quarts of whole grain 
per day fro* each 100 Fowls is about the 
amount usually fed White Leghorns when 
a mash is constantly before them. This 
amount is varied according to circum¬ 
stances, When laying heavily, the Irons 
need a greater proportion of mash, and 
tfrny are induced to eat this by lessening 
the amount of whole grain fed, and by 
feeding only from a fourth ro a third of 
it in the morning and the balance at 
night. It is the aim of good feeders to 
have about equal parts, bv measure, of 
whole grain and mash fed, except when 
the hens are laying heavily, and toward 
the close of tiro laying season, when a 
greater consumption of mash is encour¬ 
aged. Many feed a moist mash at noon 
during the later Summer -when egg pro¬ 
duction Is slackening and, in this way. 
hold production at a higher level. Xo 
definite quantities can be prescribed, but, 
as a general rule, it may be said that a 
laying fl'ck should have about equal 
parts of grain and uiash. by measure, with 
a gradual increase in the proportion of 
mash as egg production increases with the 
advance in the season, and with a special 
during the late Summer when egg pro¬ 
duction begins to decline toward the close 
of the season. While you do not say so, 
I take it that your charcoal, grit and 
oyster shell are fed separately and are 
not a part of your mash. M. B. d.

Construction of Henhouse 
TTow many feet of timber would it re¬ 
quire to build n poultry bouse 60 ft. lone, 
10 ft. wide, 8 ft. liiifh in front, 5 ft. high 
in buck? How many square feet of roof¬ 
ing: required, find how many hens could 
be housed in saitl building? F. c. 
Pawling, N. Y. 
That would depend altogether upon 
l)ow you built the house. One style might 
require double the amount of lumber that 
another would. Any carpenter can quickly 
tell ymt the number of board feet needed 
in such a buildiug if you will give him 
a plan of it: uo one Could tell without. 
Dut don't build a poultry house 10 ft. 
deep; you waste lumber and make an in¬ 
ferior house. P.uild at least 16 ft. deep, 
and, better. 20 ft. The more nearly 
square a building:, the less the material 
used in the walls for the same lloor space. 
Poullry houses are ventilated by openings 
in the front: make the buildings deep 
enough so that the fowls will not have to 
stay directly under the windows. From 
three to four square feet of floor space 
per hen are allowed in poultry-house con¬ 
struction. That would make the rapacity 
of the one you describe about 200 fowls, 
but a building 20x30 ft. would house as 
many fowls, and would be far more com¬ 
fortable for them, to say nothing of re¬ 
quiring less material in the walls.
