THE HENYARD 
Stoppage of Laying 
Our lions have stopped laying. We 
have been told that fee' 1: u t raw pumpkin 
will stop their laying. I><> you think that 
may he the cause? They layecl well all 
Summer. 
White field, Me. MRS. E. J. H. 
All fowls stop laying when, or soon 
after, they begin to molt ; it is not. strange 
that yours should do so. Ileus cannot 
lay constantly ; they need two or three 
months’ rest during the year. Pumpkins 
should not affeet laying, unless eaten to 
the exclusion of needed grain food. Feed 
the molting hens all that they will eat of 
the grain and mash foods used when they 
are laying; there are no other ‘'Ileuer- 
gizers” needed, and I -should not waste 
any dollars on “dope." If well fed nud 
cared for. your hens will begin laying 
again after their rest. You cannot hurry 
them in any other way than by good care. 
The poultry foods of the firm that you 
mention are widely used, and good. There 
are no better foods, however, than you 
can raise upon the farm and purchase 
of feed dealers. There is no mystery 
about poultry foods. Corn, wheat, and 
oats, with the milling by-products ordi¬ 
narily fed and frequently mentioned in 
these columns, and milk or meat in some 
form, furnish all the nutriment and en¬ 
ergy that the hen can use. You will find 
formulas for mixing suitable mashes fre¬ 
quently given in these columns; look over 
some of your old copies of the paper if 
you need one. M. b. d.

Cracked or Whole Corn; Government 
Whitewash 
1. Which is the better feed for poultry, 
cracked or whole corn? Is not the best 
part of the cracked corn screened out at 
the mills? My poultry does uot consume 
us much whole corn. They have ac¬ 
cess ro a dry mash mixed after the Cor¬ 
nell formula. Would you advise wetting 
the mash and feeding it warm during the 
Winter months? 2. Will you kindly give 
the formula for mixing the Government 
whitewash ? w. u. c. 
Johnsonville, N, 
1. There is no essential difference be¬ 
tween cracked and whole corn, so far as 
its food value goes. Most poultrymeu 
prefer the corn cracked, however, believ¬ 
ing that they get better results from it. 
Perhaps the fact that the fowls do eat 
more of it when cracked accounts for it- 
greater value, if it ha*t any. when fed in 
that form. I should not feed n warm, 
moist mash at any time of the year, as I 
should not expect the gain, if any, to 
counterbalance the added labor. 
2. The so-called "Government white¬ 
wash" is made as follows: Slake a hall'- 
bushel of lime in boiling water, keeping 
it covered while slaking. Strain, add 
a peck of salt dissolved in warm water; 
three pounds of ground rice boiled to a 
thin paste, one-half pouurf of powdered 
Spanish whiting, and one pound of clear 
glue dissolved in warm water. Stir to¬ 
gether and let the mixture stand for sev- 
ei*al days before using. Apply hot.

A Family of Tailless Hens 
The P. X.-Y., on page 100. makes 
query about a tailless rooster, asking if 
there is any such breed, etc. The answer 
is yes. So far as I know. I own the 
entire stock of tailless white fowls that 
will breed that way, and without oil sac. 
I am not the originator of the variety, 
but it was originated in Hillsdale. Mich., 
and has been bred here for many years, 
the originator now being out of the poul¬ 
try business. 
The first tailless were White Leghorns, 
and less than 50 per cent came true. 
Crossing and selection has now resulted 
in a strain about a pound heavier than 
Leghorns, white plumage, color of egg a 
tinted white, breeding about 00 per cent 
true. 
To one who has had them about for 
years, they are a very attractive, fowl, 
the silky character of the saddle feathers 
of the male being a prominent feature. 
On the females the fluff is much (bicker 
than the ordinary bird, more like the 
under plumage of a duck. In breeding it 
is necessary to trim plumage of both male 
and female to insure fertility. 
What are the practical advantages? 
When raised in quantity (which I have 
never done), they take less room for their 
weight. From a given lot of eggs those 
coming untrue, that is. with tails, will be 
from two to three weeks longer in matur¬ 
ing and starting laying, and the same 
birds will take the same extra time in 
the molt. In other words, the tailless hen 
saves the time necessary to grow a tail, 
and goes to laying, and she also cuts short 
her molting period. As 1 now have them 
they are heavy enough for good tnble 
fowls, and as a dressed carcass they are 
much more attractive than the carcass 
with the ungainly tail appendage, which 
is always dished out. with a joke. I have 
just, taken over this breed, and speak 
largely from observation and from the 
claims of the originator, who at one time 
bred them in large numbers, but never 
attempted to put them on the market. 
Michigan. fault,. WARD. 
ft. X.-.Y.—Several of onr readers have 
reported specimens of a tailless fowl. 
Most of them seem to be Leghorns. We 
do not see any great advantage in this 
lack of a tail, 
Nothing but 
Good Chicks 
You could not produce these 
chicks yourself at twice the 
cost, and we take all the 
risk. We guarantee to de¬ 
liver every chick you buy 
alive and healthy. We will 
replace it or refund your 
money in case of loss. 
Every hen in the docks that 
lay Kerr Chickery eggs is 
a pure bred, heavy laying, 
utility type, vigorous bird. 
They have the run of open 
farms, which keeps them in 
good condition,. Many of 
our customers have won 
prizes with chickens raised 
from the chicks of these 
good breeders. 
The eggs are incubated by ex¬ 
perts who do nothing else. 
One reason why Kerr Chicks 
• are sold so cheap is, the skill 
of these men keeps produc¬ 
tion cost low by hatching a 
very high percentage of 
sturdy little chicks out of 
each setting. Our selling 
expense is low because we 
sell direct to you. 
Order the breed you like best. 
We have all the favorites.
