Let, Weakness 
l have a flock of 250 White Leghorn 
pullets, about four months old. Several 
of them get weak on their legs and can¬ 
not stand. These pullets are well grown 
and did finely until now. They have been 
on free range up to three months old, 
and close range now, but a very large 
range. T feed growing mash before them 
at all times* and scratch feed. Is there 
anything 1 can do for them? A. C. 
Shelton, Conn. 
I am afraid that there is little that 
you can do for these cases of leg weak¬ 
ness. common in growing pullets and 
cockerels. Most case recover after a few 
days of partial inability to use the legs, 
but some die. So far as I know, the 
eauso of this peculiar condition is not 
known, though it has been ascribed to 
rheumatism, too much protein in the 
food, over-feeding, etc. It occurs, how¬ 
ever. in chickens being reared on range 
and under healthful conditions, and more 
frequently, 1 think, among fowls of the 
heavier breeds and in cockerels than pul- 
lots. 31, B. D.

Conatruction of Laying-house 
I want to build two laying houses for 
my new pullets, each 20x24, and T figure 
on putting about 130 in each house. I 
built one last year this size, on the style 
of the Cornell plan, and found it quite 
satisfactory, I am. however, in doubt 
as to how to make the new floors. On 
last year’s house 1 filled in the entire 
foundation with rock, and it was a great 
(leal of work, there being about 15 in. 
of rock in the back of the house, gradu¬ 
ally increasing to about 2 ft, in tlie 
front, the ground sloping from north to 
south. There is not very much shade on 
the place, and it occurred to mo it might 
be better to put the house on large beams 
driven into the ground for a foundation, 
leaving it all open underneath. Would 
it be practical to put in a cement floor 
on top of a wood floorV Can y>m give 
me any advice on this matter? 
I would also like to have your opinion 
on roofing material. The roof i> a double 
pitch one. 4 ft. <’> in. in flic back. N ft. _4 
in. at the highest Point, and 0 ft. (I in. in 
the front. I used tar paper last year, 
but found it buckled with the heat and 
cracked with the cold, and let the water 
in when if rained. C’ould shingles be 
used, or is there not enough slope? T. n. 
If built upon posts, T should want a 
poultry bouse far enough above ground 
to permit a boy, at least, easily to crawl 
beneath. There are too many '-mall ani¬ 
mals that like to take refuge beneath a 
building close to the ground to make such 
construction free from annoyance. If si 
good wood floor was Laid, there would 
be no occasion for covering it with con¬ 
crete. and no reason for the added ex¬ 
pense. 
Shingles do not last well on a root of 
less Ihsiti one-third pitch, and poultry 
bouses arc usually best covered with a 
good grade of felt roofing. If you will 
use one of these. T think that you will 
have no further trouble with your roof.

1 low much feed should bo given 
chickens? I have 27o March, April and 
May chicks. I have tried to find out h«w 
much to feed these chicks without result, 
so am feeding 7 qts. mixed scratch feed 
morning and noon, 7 qts, of mash at. 
night, the same as in the morning. I 
would like to know if they are getting 
enough and the right kind of feed. They 
often leave the whole corn, but still look 
for more of the scratch feed. Sometimes 
they eat this and other times not; they 
often leave the cracked corn in the scratch 
feed. R. R- K. 
You will not often find certain speci¬ 
fied quantities prescribed in poultry feed¬ 
ing. for the reason that chicks and older 
fmsls should be fed in accordance with 
their requirements- at the time of feeding, 
and these requirements vary with circum¬ 
stances. Your growing chicks should 
have all that they want to eat at each 
meal, and if you find them leaving a part 
of their scratch feed, reduce the amount 
until they readily clean up wliat you 
give them. When they quickly eat all 
that you, give them anti stand about ex¬ 
pectantly and evidently not wholly satis¬ 
fied. increase the amount. It doesn’t 
matter whether you are giving them 7 qts. 
or 17 per 100 birds. After & few feed¬ 
ings you will learn the approximate quan¬ 
tity that they will consume, which quan¬ 
tity will gradually increase as the flock 
increases in age. If you are feeding a 
moist mash, instead of keeping a dry mash 
always before the Hock, or if you are add¬ 
ing one or more feedings per day of moist 
mash to a dry mash, feed the moist mush 
in the sailie way; that is. give them what 
they will readily clean up in a few min¬ 
utes and be satisfied with, if they leave 
mash in tbeir troughs and pick if over in¬ 
differently, they are getting too much; 
but if they eat it up quickly and stand 
about waiting for more, they are not get¬ 
ting enough. The rule is to feed all that 
the Hock wants, hut without waste. The 
exact quantities cannot be stated in quarts 
per 100 birds, but must be governed by 
t he )bserration of the feeder. M. n. d.
