THE HENYARD 
Barley for Poultry Feeding. 
What is your opinion on raising wheat 
in Eastern Now York? We have a largo 
flock of hens, and this Winter we have 
paid as high as $2.55 per cwt. for wheat. 
I know from experience nothing else 
will make them lay as heavily, but real¬ 
ly that is almost a prohibitive price for 
a poor hen woman to pay, and there 
seems to be good reason to believe it 
will be no lower another year. We have 
tried other rations, but invariably the 
egg yield is lowered when wheat 
is omitted, and we would like to grow at 
least a small part of what wheat our 
laying hens will need next season. Our 
land is clay, and produces heavy crops. 
Will you toll me if the thing can be done 
profitably, what kind to sow, when to get 
seed, and what culture? Last year stalks 
of wheat came up in the oats, grew to 
immense size and carried heavy heads at 
harvest time; also seemed to be quite 
mature. airs. Robert h. wood. 
Ilerkimer Co., N. Y. 
Winter wheat will pay in your section. 
Years ago large quantities of this wheat 
were produced there. We doubt if Spring 
wheat will pay you. There is a craze 
for this crop just now, but we think 
most of those who sow it will be dis¬ 
appointed. Beardless barley will pay 
better. This grain makes a good substi¬ 
tute for wheat, and is a natural Spring 
grain crop for the Eastern part of the 
country. We should gow barley about 
the same as oats. You will get more 
feed than you would with Spring wheat. 
At the proper season we would sow Win¬ 
ter wheat for next year’s crop. 
Substitute for Wheat. 
Would you give me a balanced ration 
for Leghorn hens of wheat, cracked corn, 
oats, barley and buckwheat? I would 
like to use as much barley as I could, 
and as little wheat, as the wheat is so 
high. I think my hens are fatter than 
they should be; am feeding Cornell ra¬ 
tion for dry mash, feed mash in after¬ 
noon, half as much mash as whole grain. 
I feed cabbage and apples for green feed ; 
keep about 1200. j. b. w. 
New York. 
The present price of wheat makes that 
grain too expensive for any considerable 
use in poultry rations and an effort is 
being made to find an acceptable substi¬ 
tute for it. Barley has very nearly the 
same composition as wheat but is less ac¬ 
ceptable to hens and, in many cases, they 
will have to be coaxed a little to get 
them to eat it. It is being experimented 
with as a wheat substitute, however, and 
I am in receipt of the following sugges¬ 
tions as to its use from the poultry de¬ 
partment at Cornell University. Whole 
grain ration : wheat four pounds, cracked 
corn 10 pounds, oats five pounds, and 
barley six pounds. Dry mash: cornmeal 
00 pounds, bran 30 pounds white wheat 
middlings or red dog flour 100 pounds, 
beef scrap 50 pounds. Alfalfa meal 10 
pounds, and oil meal 10 pounds. While 
1 have not figured this out, my under¬ 
standing is that the above ration has 
practically the same “balance” or pro¬ 
portion between protein and carbohydrate 
elements as the standard Cornell ration 
frequently mentioned in these columns. 
M. B. D. 
Ailing Chicks ; Bee Moth. 
1. I have some chickens a week old. 
When four days old they would open 
their mouths as if choking and jump, 
then they would lie down as if dead. Can 
you tell me the cause and what to do? 
2. I have a small place, about five acres. 
Would it pay to keep a horse and cow? 
State the best way I could keep them. 
3. I have some bees; last Summer the 
moths got iuto the hive and killed several 
swarms. Could you tell me what I could 
do to get rid of those millers? s. it. w. 
1. I should suspect the presence of 
gapeworms, but could not be at all sure 
without an examination of the chicks. 
2. It might pay to keep a horse on five 
acres, though, under most circumstances. 
I think that it would not. A horse is an 
expensive luxury unless there is produc¬ 
tive work for it for the greater part of 
the year. A good cow should pay her 
way, however, though pasture would 
probably have to be hired. No one could 
advise you definitely without knowing 
all your circumstances. I feel very sure 
that good long distance advice is to get 
the cow but go slowly about encumbering 
your place with a horse unless you are 
very sure that there is sufficient work 
for it to enable it to earn its keep. 
3. The bee moth infests hives of bees 
that are too weak to defend themselves. 
The remedy is to keep all colonies suffi¬ 
ciently strong to protect themselves and 
to give them good, tight, hives that furn¬ 
ish no entrance for the moths other than 
the bee opening in front. Italian bees 
are better guardians of their hives than 
the blacks, and the latter may be Italian¬ 
ized by giving the colonies Italian queens. 
Weak colonies may be doubled np and 
other measures of good care taken to in¬ 
sure the successful defense of a hive 
against its enemies. jf. n. n.
