THE HENYARD 
Poor Laying 
I bought 12 Leghorns which began to 
lay the next, day after they arrived, and 
have laid from four to six eggs a day 
ever since. I had ordered 12 Wyandott.es 
from the owner, but he said they had the 
roup, so could not send them, and I told 
him to send Leghorns in their place. I 
received them the other day. Their combs 
seem to be all pale, and none of them 
has laid yet. I am feeding lQO lbs. of 
wheat, 100 lbs, corn, 100 lbs. oats; quan¬ 
tity fed. 1 qt. to 10 hens, and dry mash 
in a self-feeder. Could you suggest any¬ 
thing to make them lay? The first 12 
seem to he laying nearly 50 per cent, but 
the second 12 are not laying. They have 
plenty of grit, shells, and charcoal, and 
fresh water twice a day. I feed three 
times a day in deep litter. E. E. s. 
Connecticut. 
E. E. S. has bought 12 Leghorns in¬ 
stead of the White Wyandottes he de¬ 
sired, because the Wyandottes have roup. 
These Leghorns have pale combs, and do 
not lay. It is quiLt? likely that the sur¬ 
roundings, as to housing, etc., that have 
produced colds and roup in the Wyan¬ 
dottes have thrown the Leghorns out of 
condition. No kinds of feed can make 
them lay until they get. back into good 
health again. I am presuming that, these 
are pullets. If they are hens, just gett¬ 
ing through their molt, their combs will 
be pale and shrunken, even when they are 
in good health, but will enlarge and get 
red again when laying begins. 
Now, ns to feeding. T ask the hens, and 
the amount fed depends on what the hens 
say. I throw down a handful or two; 
if the hens act indifferent, apparently 
don’t care, then that i.s all the feed they 
will get.. If they come eagerly hustling 
for the food, they get what I tbiuk is 
enough. 
1 have fed hens for 40 years (but when 
some one asks me liow mnch to feed, abso¬ 
lutely. I don’t know. I am certain I 
haven't meanurrd the amount fed in 30 
years. I ask the liens. Here is another 
thing: What should Ik* fed depends on 
conditions. I was breeding White Ww! - 
dottes. but had <ine pen of 40 Rhode Island 
Reds. These were laying up to 90 per 
cent, 3fi eggs some days from the 40. 1 
picked up a few of tlu-m, and was sur¬ 
prised to fmd how thin in flesh they were. 
These Ijotis were taking all the fat out of 
their bod'es i ' make yolks enough to equal 
the whites the protein in tiu ,: r food sup¬ 
plied. A yolk is about half fat, and there 
wasn’t * arh- hydrates enough in their ra¬ 
tion to suptd.v the fat. So I at once put 
more cornmeal in the dry mash and in¬ 
creased the quantity of cracked com in 
the dry grains In a few weeks they were 
back in good condition again. The ration 
I was feeding kept the Wyandottes in 
good condition, blit they were laying about 
50 per cent, liens arc not machines; 
use your brains in caring for them. 
E. E. S. is feeding too much of the dry 
grains. The pullets will not eat enough 
of the dry mash, with so much grain fed 
them. He should cut nut the noon feed 
entirely, feed in the morning a scant 
quart to his 12 hens, then let them eat 
the dry mash all day. and ar. night give 
I hem all they will cafe of the dry grains. 
If he will pick over the litter he will prob- 
ably find a lot of oafs on the ground. 
Stop feeding oats unt'l they are gone. 
The science of feeding is to keep appe¬ 
tite sharp; feed fust n little less than 
they want. Don’t let them get cloyed, and 
appetite fall off. qeo. a. oosgboye. 
Feeding Pullets for Eggs 
I have a flock of pullets weighing from 
3 to 4 lbs. What grain will produce the 
most eggs, and how many quarts of grain 
to 100 pullets? Should 1 give them, in 
the cold months hot mash? How much 
of that, and what kind is best to produce 
eggs? j. r. 
East Hampton. Conn. 
A mixture of whole grains, corn, wheat, 
oats, buckwheat, and barley, or corn and 
wheat, or corn alone, should be fed these 
pullets in their litter night, and morning, 
giving them a light feeding in the morn¬ 
ing and all that they will eat before going 
to roost at night. If a mixture of grains 
is given, at least one-half of it should he 
composed of t orn or wheat, preferably the 
former. No definite quantity can be pro¬ 
scribed, but the pullets will need pighr. or 
10 quarts of whole grain per 100 fowls 
daily in addition t<> their mash. For the 
latter, the Connecticut Experiment Sta¬ 
tion at Storrs recommends a mixture of 
equal pai*ts of wheat middlings, bran, 
cornmeal. ground oats, gluten feed, and 
beef scrap. I know of no better mash for 
egg production, though many pi*efer this 
mixture without the gluten feed. The 
mash should be kept before the pullets all 
ihe time in hoppers or protected troughs, 
from which they can eat at will. Troughs 
must be guarded by slats, through which 
tin* fowls may stick their heads to get at 
the dry mash, else they will throw it out 
and waste it. A warm moist mash may 
he fed once daily, if desired, hut few 
poultrymon believe it to be advisable, 
labor and all considered. Where only a 
few birds are kept, it may perhaps pay 
to do this, in addition to feeding dry mash 
as suggested above. M.' B, d.
