a - ---—* 
Leghorns in the Gulf States. 
I note Mr. Cosgrove states the Leg¬ 
horns had laid off, and asks if anyone 
can. answer. I cannot say that I can 
answer, but may help. Some years ago 
when figuring on the proposition of 
breeding chickens for fancy trade and on 
getting into egg production for market, I 
wrote one of the best known and most 
successful poultry men in this section of 
Mississippi. He was breeding Leghorns 
for utility and show, also Wyandottes. 
I told him what I wanted to know, and 
asked about the Leghorn as an egg pro¬ 
ducer. He supplied the information 
asked for, and advised against the Leg¬ 
horn, recommending the Wyandotte, 
which he had and the Barred Rock, 
which he did not breed, as better egg 
breeds, for the reason that they produced 
in Winter, while Leghorns did not with 
any certainty, which fact the contests 
have proven correct. lie further said 
that aside from poor Winter laying, the 
Leghorn was unfavorably influenced by 
any extremely hot, sultry, or foggy 
weather and by rainy spells of several 
days or more duration; that such 
weather had an almost immediate effect 
on them, and he could only recommend 
them for situations where such conditions 
did not exist often. He did not look on 
them as reliable egg producers near the 
Gulf. 
Without knowing what the weather 
conditions were during the time spoken 
of, I venture to say there was much 
humidity in the air, and it was probably 
that which did the work in knocking 
down the record. I have had Leghorns, 
and found them an unsatisfactory chick¬ 
en for egg production as compared with 
Rocks in this locality, and subject to 
weather conditions. I am not prejudiced 
against the Leghorn as a breed, hut 
found them an unprofitable proposition 
and got rid of them, for the old saying 
of “Fair weather friends are not worth 
much” about expresses them. M. A. p. 
Alabama. 
R. N.-Y.—We welcome any good na- 
tured discussion of breeds. There can 
he nothing to fight about if some other 
breeder honestly thinks he has something 
better than you have. Last year’s con¬ 
test certainly showed the Leghorns to 
be fine Winter layers. Most of the birds 
sent up from the South seem to be of 
the larger breeds.

WORLD’S CHAMPION LAYERS. 
Phila. N. A. contest. Hatching eggs and chicks- 
Cliiclis 
Late Molting. 
I put up in the Fall 1,380 pullets in 
one house and 440 in another; the large 
bunch were all combed up nicely and 
went to laying very soon after they were 
housed November 6, and laid 30% dur¬ 
ing December, but have steadily^ gone 
into a molt and decreased to a 15 per¬ 
cent lay now. The small bunch were the 
small and late-developed pullets, but 
were not a bad lot by any means. They 
began to lay about three weeks after the 
other bunch started and laid 25 per cent 
during December and January. These 
pullets were all fed alike, wheat in the 
litter in the morning and up to December 
10 they were given turnips and the tops, 
cabbage, or rape for their green feed and 
then I had to fall back on ground Alfal¬ 
fa scalded. Corn was fed in the evening 
In the litter. Beef was boiled and fed 
in very rich mash made by thickening 
the soup which was almost half meat, to | 
a very stiff dough with cornmeal, bran 
and Alfalfa meal, this was liberally j 
sprinkled with cayenne pepper. This | 
mash was fed warm in the evening in 
place of the corn. They were all fed 
about all that they would clean up in 
about 10 minutes. I have been feeding 
this way for years with good results with 
the exception of the meat mash. I be¬ 
lieve that had my pullets been put up 
earlier they would have laid well all 
through the last of October and Novem¬ 
ber, but was unable to do this 
West Virginia. A. F. M. 
It is a fact well known by poultrymen 
that early pullets that are meat fed and 
pushed to quick maturity are liable to 
begin laying early, -and after having laid 
out a clutch of eggs, to molt. The rem¬ 
edy for this is to refrain from quite so 
early hatching or to keep stimulating 
meat food from them when they begin to 
show signs of premature development. 
You do not say when your pullets were I 
hatched or how they were fed, but from 
the fact that they began to lay early, I 
take it that they were early hatched and 
pushed rapidly aloug to maturity, thus 
predisposing them to a premature molt. 
The addition of a rich meat ration in | 
December probably finished the job of 
overstimulating them, and molting fol¬ 
lowed. This i. liable to occur any year, 
but from the reports I get from poultry- 
men in different parts of the country, I 
judge that this unfortunate condition 
has been more than ordinarily prevalent 
this season. Some of the pens of pullets 
entered in the Storrs laying contest have 
gone into molt and nearly, or quite, 
stopped laying. I know of nothing that 
can be done now except to grin and bear 
it; you can have whatever satisfaction 
there may be in knowing that others are 
having the same trouble, and another sea¬ 
son, you will guard against premature 
“ripening” of your pullets by feeding 
less meat and more corn if you see by the 
rapidity of their development that they 
are becoming hens too early. m. b. d.
