THE HENYARD 
Murder by Chicken Thief. 
On the morning of April 7, about 3 A. 
M., a farmer near West Park, a suburb 
of Cleveland, O.. heard a noise in his 
chicken house and went out to investigate. 
When he failed to return in half an hour, 
search was made, and lie was found lying 
dead, just within the chicken-house door, 
shot through the back. It is supposed 
the thief hid behind the door when he ap¬ 
proached and shot him as he entered. No 
clew has been discovered of the thief. 
This would be a good case for those who 
don’t want chicken thieves shot to con¬ 
sider. w. j. M. 
Ohio. 
Setting Small Eggs. 
Is it advisable to set pullets’ eggs? Is 
it not likely to result in small liens and 
smaller eggs? Small eggs do not bring so 
much. y. f. 
It has been ascertained by actual 
weighing of eggs and chicks that a small 
egg does not produce as large a chick as 
a larger egg of the same variety, and fur¬ 
ther, that up to maturity, at least, the 
chick that starts with the advantage in 
size maintains it. This seems to be the 
chief disadvantage in using pullets’ eggs 
for hatching, but, if the pullets are well 
matured and are laying good-sized eggs, 
the difference is not sufficiently great to 
bar thorn from the breeding pens if suffi¬ 
cient old hens are not at hand to supply 
the need. 
Inducing Broodiness. 
Is there any way to force hens to sit? 
Can you give them any special feed to 
make them sit early in the season? 
Canada. j. w. w. 
I know of no food that will induce 
early broodiness upon the part of hens; 
heavy laying is apt to be followed by 
broodiness, and food and care that will 
induce this will, of course, encourage sit¬ 
ting. So far as my observation goes, 
those hens that lay best through the Win¬ 
ter become broody earliest in the Spring. 
I not infrequently have Leghorns that 
want to bring out a family in March ; in 
fact, haye just “broken up” a Tom Bar¬ 
ron pullet that has been endeavoring to 
sit in that month; and Leghorns, you 
know, are the fowls whose instinct for 
raising families in nature’s way has been 
eliminated. M. B. D. 
Colors of Indian Runner Ducks. 
I have bred Indian Runner ducks for 
three years. I bought a sitting of eggs, 
paid a fancy price for them, now the 
ducks are fawn and white and the drakes 
are white all over, only a little fawn on 
his back. Are these purebred ducks or 
not? w. n. w. 
There are three varieties of Runner 
ducks, the pencilled, which usually have 
some white, the fawn and white, with the 
colored feathers of a plain fawn without 
pencilling, and the white Runners. Like 
all parti-colored birds they vary in the 
amount of white, and are liable to breed 
light, especially the lighter fawn and 
white birds. If you have not introduced 
new blood into your flock it is possible 
that inbreeding might have a little to do 
with the fading. There is no reason to 
doubt the purity of blood. Get a dark 
drake from vigorous stock and mate him 
with your ducks and the next generation 
will be darker. w. h. h. 
Fattening Chicks. 
Can you give me a good formula for 
fattening chicks for squab broilers? I 
have had some trouble getting ours fat¬ 
tened. They have good appetites, grow 
rapidly, but will not take on fat. I no¬ 
ticed in The R. N.-Y. an article on feed¬ 
ing white potato's to live stock. Would 
you recommend feeding to poultry? 
New Jersey, j. L. n. 
The Cornell fattening ration for young 
chicks is equal parts, by weight, of ground 
hulled oats, ground buckwheat, and corn 
meal, feed mixed with sour skim-milk. 
The New Jersey station gives the follow¬ 
ing formula: Bran, 10 pounds; ground 
oats. 25 pounds; cornmeal, 25 pounds; 
buckwheat-middlings. 2ni pounds; meat 
scrap, 15 pounds; mixed quite wet with 
skim-milk. The Ontario station recom¬ 
mends the following ration: Two parts 
finely ground oats, two parts finely 
ground buckwheat and one of finely 
ground corn. To this is added sufficient 
sour milk to make a batter. The best re¬ 
sults were obtained when the grains wore 
ground as finely as possible, and when 
the mash was mixed twelve hours before 
feeding. Grit was supplied the fattening 
chicks at least once each week. Equal 
parts of cornmeal, middlings, and buck¬ 
wheat meal were sometimes used, and 
barley meal was sometimes substituted 
for the buckwheat and oatmeal for the 
middlings. Skim-milk is superior to 
blood meal or beef scrap, but when not 
available the latter may be substituted in 
an amount not to exceed 15 per cent, of 
the grain ration. I cannot say from expe¬ 
rience what the value of potatoes as poul¬ 
try food is, hut I should not be inclined to 
rate them very high. They do not seem 
to be used to any extent and. doubtless, 
have been found inferior to such vegeta¬ 
bles as beets, mangels and cabbage. 
M. B. D. 
Can a feed 
be too good ? 
Not for chicks. They must have sweet, 
sound grains which are made easy-to- 
digest. 
Why not play absolutely safe ? It’s 
just as easy—get 
H-0 Steam-Cooked 
Chick Feed 
It contains carefully selected grains including cut 
oatmeal, steam-cooked for easy digestion by our 
special process.
