Hatfe strong, healthy: ea\\y-\aym£ pullets 
Pullets won't lay eggs until they 
reach full body-growth and if they 
don't lay before Winter they won’t 
lay until Spring, 
Growth and maturity can be forced 
or retarded by the quality and nu¬ 
tritive value of the growing mash. 
Five months' feeding of Ubiko But¬

THE HENYARD 
Gapes 
Can you give me any advice for the 
treatment of my chickens? They have 
gapes, heads swell atid they gape con¬ 
stantly. It seems contagious, for several 
of the flock are affected and some young 
chicks. J. Z. 
Gapeworms may be removed from the 
windpipes of affected chicks by passing 
a doubled horsehair or the cud of n 
feather dipped into turpentine gently down 
the windpipe, loosening the hold of the 
worms upon the lining membrane of the 
windpipe. It is better to avoid gapeworms, 
however, by rearing chicks upon unin¬ 
fected ground where other chicks or fowls 
harboring these parasites have not pre¬ 
viously run and by keeping chicks upon 
infected ground confined while the dew 
is on the grass and immediately after 
showers. Chicks pick up the eggs and 
embryos of gapeworms in the earthworms 
that they eat; hence the advice to con¬ 
fine them at times when earthworms are 
especially numerous upon the surface of 
the ground. Three drops of creolin added 
to each pint of the chicks' drinking water 
is said to be an efficacious preventive of 
gapeworm infection. This infection is 
difficult to avoid, however, if chicks are 
raised upon old ground in which the 
gapeworms, their eggs and embryos are 
found in large numbers. it. B. D.

Poor Laying 
I have a henhouse SxlO ft., with two 
large windows, and an 8-in. pipe over the 
roof for ventilation, which I keep open 
all of the time. I feed my chickens with 
scratch and mixed feeds, but they do not 
lay very well, and cost, me about $1! a 
week. I have 10 one-year-old hens, Ifl 
Mav-hntched pullets, aud two roosters. 
2f> in all. Is the house too small, or do 
I feed them wrong? Is there any cheap 
feed which will reduce the expense with 
the same result? c. b. 
In a small poultry-house each bird 
should have more floor space than would 
be needful in a large house, because each 
bird has the run of the whole house; 20 
birds would be plenty in a SxlO-ft. bouse. 
Rut in this ease it is probably tile feeding 
that is mainly responsible f<>i- the poor 
laying. Some form of animal protein is 
necessary for production of tlic whites 
of eggs; they are almost clear protein, 
and a hen cannot lay many eggs unless 
that element is furnished in her food. 
Feed a dry mash of equal parts by weight 
of wheat bran, middlings, corn meal, 
ground oats, and beef scrap. That makes 
the beef scrap one-fourth of the mash. 
This is more than the usual proportion, 
but may be needed to start aud stimulate 
egg production. Make them exercise by 
feeding scantily in the morning in deep 
litter of the sera tell feed, so they will eat 
more of the dry mash. Rut feed all the 
scratch feed they will oat at night. Feel 
of their crops after they have gone to 
roost, and see that the crops are full and 
hard. Do you furnish them ground oyster 
shells, grit, and granulated charcoal? Do 
they have green food of some kind, such 
as cabbage, sprouted oats, etc.? Beet 
pulp soaked and fed in troughs is better 
than nothing. GKOROB A. C06GB0VE.

Pullets Eat Droppings 
What is the reason pullets eat their 
droppings? What do they require in 
their feed? Have been feeding the Cor¬ 
nell rations all Winter. w. if. av. 
New York. 
T do not know why pullets eat their 
droppings or of anything given in their 
food that will overcome this manifesta¬ 
tion of a depraved appetite. I should 
furnish grit, charcoal and oyster shell, if 
I were not already doing it, as you prob¬ 
ably are, and should look for worms in 
the droppings. If found, I should admin¬ 
ister the tobacco treatment for them. If 
all those things failed, and the vice 
seemed a serious one, I should cover the 
droppings with large mesh poultry wire, 
so arranged as to keep the fowls from 
them. This poultry netting may he 
stretched upon a frame and placed a few 
inches above the droppings to keep the 
fowls out. M. B. D.

Tinted Eggs 
About one-third of all the egg* I am 
getting are tinted eggs. My hens are 
purebred White Leghorns. I have just 
two colored hens in the flock, a Plymouth 
Rock and a Rhode Island Red. They are 
all yearling hens. Last year (he eggs 
were chalk white. Could you tell me the 
cause of the tinted eggs? ii. G. 
New York. 
All White Leghorns lay some tinted 
eg^s, some strains being more at fault in 
this respect than others. The widespread 
Tom Barron strain is especially defective 
in this matter of off color. How ever, you 
will find that any flock will produce more 
tinted eggs at the beginning and perhaps 
also at the close of their laying season, 
and the defect will be less noticeable in 
your flock as the season advances. Feed¬ 
ing large quantities of yellow corn may 
also help to add color to the shells, as il 
does to the skin of the fowls. Continued 
selection of chalk white eggs for setting 
will breed our the tendency of a flock to 
lay colored eggs, but that, of course, takes 
time. if. a. d.
