Quantity of Meat Needed. 
Will you tell me liow much green meat 
and bone (horse meat) it is safe to feed 
pullets that are laying some, also to one 
and two-year-olds kept principally for 
breeders? How much of the above meat 
will it take to equal 100 pounds of com¬ 
mercial meat in the Cornell ration? 
New York.. w. h. r. 
It is difficult to make any comparison, 
between fresh ground meat and bone 
and commercial beef scrap, as these vary 
so much in their constituents according 
to the amounts of bone, of fat and of 
lean meat used. Fresh meat contains 
from 60 to 80% of water, while beef 
scrap contains only about 10%, making 
it that much more concentrated. Laying 
pullets and hens may be fed fresh cut 
bone and meat, two or three times week¬ 
ly, to advantage, as is the custom of 
many poultrymen using it. Mr. Cosgrove 
advises feeding it daily, however, mixing 
it thoroughly with bran, middlings, and 
meal, equal parts, and giving three 
ounces of the mixture to each bird. Care 
should be taken not to use tainted meat 
adhering to the bones that are cut, and 
enough should not be fed to cause undue 
looseness of the bowels. M. B. D.

Concrete Henhouse. 
In concrete henhouses, are the walls 
built of solid concrete or of hollow 
blocks? If of solid concrete will the 
frost get through and keep the inside of 
house damp in cold weather? How thick 
should the walls be, and if the roof is 
concrete how thick should it he? 
New York. c. G. w. 
Concrete henhouses may be of either 
hollow block or solid wall construction, 
as preferred. Frost docs not “go through” 
either, the moisture which condenses upon 
the interior of such houses coming, not 
from the outside, but from the bodies of 
the animals inside the building. If there 
is sufficient ventilation to change the air 
within the building before it becomes 
heavy with moisture, the latter will not 
condense upon cold walls in the form of 
frost; if there is not, the moisture of 
the air freezes upon the walls and has 
the appearance of having come through 
from the outside. The walls of a poultry 
house, if solid, should be four or five 
inches in thickness and the roof would 
ordinarily probably be best built of wood, 
especially if the work is not done by those 
of considerable experience in concrete 
work. Such walls should be reinforced by 
quarter-inch iron rods placed about 18 
inches apart, both horizontally and ver¬ 
tically. M. B. D. 
The American Wyandotte Favored. 
We are planning for the coming sea¬ 
son to introduce into our chicken busi¬ 
ness a year-round system of broilers for 
fancy trade, settings to be made the first 
of every month. Naturally we desire a 
breed which develops rapidly and has 
a skin of attractive color when dressed. 
What would you consider the best for our 
purpose? We have in mind White Or¬ 
pingtons, but possibly your experience 
could suggest something better. F. r. F. 
New Jersey. 
The White Wyandotte certainly has 
no superior, either as a layer or table 
fowl, i.c., when bred somewhere near to 
standard type. While a Wyandotte may 
be a good layer, no matter of what type 
she may be, to be a table fowl of unsur¬ 
passed merit, she must be near the 
standard type. This will give a bird that 
when dressed shows a remarkable amount 
of breast, with a very attractive yellow 
skin, for which the very highest price may 
be obtained. The strongest point in favor 
of a Wyandotte as a table bird is that no 
matter at what age it is marketed, it is 
always classed as “prime.” As squab- 
broilers they arc plump, round and ex¬ 
tremely juicy, in fact resemble squabs 
As regular broilers, from l 1 /^ to two 
pounds, they have lost none of their 
plumpness and remain remarkably ten¬ 
der. Even birds weighing from three to 
four pounds may be broiled and found to 
be as tender as when smaller. No bird 
makes a better roaster from three to six 
pounds and as fowls for fricasseeing they 
may be used no matter how old and will 
never be found “stringy.” Their feath¬ 
ers being white make the carcass more 
attractive than if it were full of colored 
pin feathers. The writer strongly re¬ 
commends that anyone contemplating 
breeding White Wyandottes for table 
poultry as well as for layers, which is 
really what they are intended for, intro¬ 
duces no English blood into his flock. 
While the Englishmen have proved be¬ 
yond a doubt their ability to produce 
White Wyandottes that lay wonderfully 
well, yet their birds are smaller and very 
poor for table poultry, especially the 
males, they having practically no breast. 
American-bred birds have proved good 
layers in our contests, with the added ad¬ 
vantage of being much larger and far bet¬ 
ter shape for table poultry. The American 
Wyandotte is also incR^d to grow faster, 
thus reaching 1% to two pounds in 
weight in from eight to 12 weeks. There 
are many breeds other than the White 
Wyandottes that are splendid dual-pur¬ 
pose fowls, their equal perhaps, such as 
the Plymouth Rocks, Orpingtons, Reds, 
etc. ‘ G. A.
