Would you give nit* n feeding formula 
for my White Leghorns? I am feeding 
them mixed scratch grain night uud morn¬ 
ing. and conked oats at noon. I feed a 
nmsli, equal parts of gluten, eilmeal, 
standard middlings, and flour middlings, 
and] beef scrap. o. it. m. 
A better mash may be made from equal 
parts of eornmeal, gluten feed,- wheat 
bran, ground oats, wheat middlings, and 
beef scrap, this to he kept dry before the 
7 fowls at. all times, or, if preferred, fed as 
i. a moist mash. Scratch feed sit u'd also 
•. tie fed morning and night, and the cooked 
oats may be given at noon in moderate 
- quantity. The much-used “Cornell" for- 
- inula is like that given above, save that 
toe gluten feed is omitted, tints increasing 
r. the proportion of beef scrap to one-fifth. 
Some poultrymeu consider the use of 
gluten feed inadvisable; others consider 
) it a valuable addition to the mash. It is 
q used in the ration at the Storrs, Conn., 
laying contests in the proportion sug- 
. gested above. m. b. d. 
; Fancy -f- Utility = Perfection 
My old friend, George A. Cosgrove, as 
ever, writes most interestingly on page 
-08. under the caption. “Fancy versus 
I tllity.” The day is fast drawing to a 
close, however, when forward-looking 
poultrymeu wrangle over this ques- 
r tion. All birds of standard type are 
1 not high producers, any snore than are 
all Cows of good breed type money-makers 
Ga the milkpail, and by the same token 
t net all off-type hens arc layers, nor scrub 
L cows heavy milkers. The evidence of a 
• majority of the successful dairymen keep- 
| ing cows rif near standard type, and prac- 
, tieally all commercial poultrymen K<*ep- 
. ing purebred flocks, pretty nearly estab¬ 
lishes proof, that the fanciers, so-called, 
have not; ruined those races of live stock 
for practical purposes. I think no breeder 
> of any variety of live stock has ever pro- 
; dtieed an\ thing worth while who has used 
production solely as a breeding guide and 
■ ignored breed type in h's dreams, and, of 
• course, no breeder who ignores the useful 
’ qualities- ever gets far 
Iu 'lie last, laying contest at the Con¬ 
necticut Agricultural College, among 27 
pens of R. I. Reds entered, the highest- 
scoring pern in the lot by the “fanciers’ ” 
standard, a pen of straight-bred show 
stock and of wonderful color and type 
stood third, with 24 pens that didn’t lay 
as many eggs. This pen came through 
with a pen average of 175.2, as against 
the breed average of ln’ 1.6 for the 27 
pens entered, most of which were so-called 
utility pens of little breed type and mis¬ 
erable color. Of course, color has no 
effect on egg production, although it is 
reasonable to expect that a flock of birds 
that are of uniform type and color, as a 
result of careful, thoughtful breeding, and 
that are good layers, will be far more apt 
to reproduce the laying tendency than 
will a pen that is of nondescript type and 
color, indicating careless breeding meth¬ 
ods. Why should uniformity of produc¬ 
tion be produced when other physical 
characteristics are not? 
The New Haven show has for three 
years included in its premium list a class 
for pens with liberal cash prizes offered, 
willed “The Standard-bred Laying Class.” 
riiis class has been judged by the Con¬ 
necticut composite system. Ivy this sys¬ 
tem the prizes are awarded by scale of 
points, upon which production, charaetir- 
i sties and breed type and color have equal 
weight. The birds arc scored by a so- 
ualled “utility” judge, by the official scale . 
of points as adopted by the American As- 1 
sooiation of Instructors and Investigators. ' 
and by a so-called “fancy” judge for 
standard breed, type and color. The two i 
scores are added, divided by two, and the 
result is the composite score by the Con¬ 
necticut system. The results of three i 
years’, scoring show that on an average I 
the birds of good standard type, score * 
higher by the production score curd than 
do the pens of nondescript breed type and < 
Poor color, or so-called “utility” pens. 
This is only common sense, and the same 1 
principle which is applied in the judging 
of dairy cattle, sheep, and swine. A cow ( 
could not win in the Jersey class in auy ; 
show on production indications alone, nor j 
could she win on color and Jersey type. • 
The cow that combines breed tvjie and 
production characteristics to the highest ! 
degree is the Cmv that wins the bine. 
The faddist fanciers have hurt the poul- ■ 
try business, perhaps, but the faddist ] 
utilitarian would in a very few years re¬ 
duce our many splendid breeds, each val- ■ 
liable in its place and for its particular 
purpose, to a nondescript, unattractive 
G without distinctive breed 
types or com- ' ’ u,« s value from 
a production stan^, ^ ctand- 
ard-bred fowls of todav. , 
squabbling over “fancy” and “utiury" 
and blend them together in a harmonious 
win 1 and make some real history in 
pout,,y breeding. PAttlp, IVES
