THE HENYARD 
Preventing Frozen Combs 
I wonder if Mr. Cosgrove or some 
other of your “lumltry sharps” knows of 
anybody in Xew York or New England 
who hits succeeded in caiTying fowls 
through this Winter without severe in¬ 
jury to combs. Would it not be a matter 
of general interest to know tlie type of 
house tliat carried the birds best’/ Any 
Itirge-combed birds I have seen about 
this city Lave been badly frosted. A. c. 
New York. 
I can answer the above in the af- 
lirmative. Yes. George Wraight, living 
on what iisetl to be my ftirm, in poultry 
liouses I built over 20 years ago, kept 
bis White I.eghorn cockerels ttli ost un¬ 
touched by frost, in ti temperature out- 
.side of 18 degrees below zero. And they 
are Barron Leghorns with big comlis, 
too. Some of the birds Imd Ihe very tips 
of the points of the comb frosted, some 
escaped even that. 
What kind of a house is it? .lust the 
simplest, clieape.st kind, no foundation, no 
sills, and only one thickness of %-inch 
matched pine. Earth floor; two large 
windows on sontli front. House 10 feet 
square, four feet higli in btick, seven feet 
high in front, one-slope shed roof. A 
lot of old newsiiaiiers were spread on that 
roof before the roofing jtaper was put on. 
The droppings hotird and roosts were as 
high as I could make them without the 
birds hitting the roof with their heads. 
Mr. AVraight hung a curtain made of 
bran sacks in front of the roosts every 
night, and the 55 to 20 cockerels kept 
wiirm and comforttible. 
GEO. A. CO.SGKOVE. 
Selection for Laying Contest 
Which of our American egg laying 
coute.sts would he the most suitable for 
me to send birds to, and what would be 
the cost to me of doing so? AA’hieh would 
make the best breeders, a bird thtit is a 
pullet with a record of 89 eggs since 
November 1, tind still in good health, 
weighing four jxiumls, or one that laid 
40 eggs in Oi’toher and November, then 
molted, begiuiiing to lay again two weeks 
ago? AVill you advise me how to mate 
such birds to get be.st re.sults? Could I 
e.x'iieet to get anything from them suit¬ 
able for the contest? Both birds same 
age, hatched April 1, 1957. Parent stock 
of these birds I am told were 200 egg 
Itirds. N. D. 
New Y'ork. 
The egg-laying contest at Htorr.s, Conn., 
wa.s the first one to be instituted in this 
country, and is probably as good as any 
in which to enter birds. The cost is .$20. 
For this the- birds are trHp-ne.sted for a 
year and the record of each of the 50 
i)irds- is .sent to the owner. T’he contests 
begin November 5 etteh year, and the 
birds should he at Storrs a dtiy or two 
hefore. No male birds are allowed in 
the contest pens. As to N. D.'s second 
(luestion, 1 would say that either of the 
birds he mentions tire good birds, though 
I would prefer the one that has laid 89 
eggs in 520 days. That is remarkably 
good liiyiiig for this extni cold AViiiter. 
N. I>. should know that the rooster they 
tire mated with is of tis much or more 
importance than the hens in producing 
pullets for next year’s contest. It has 
i)een clejirly demonstrtited that the 200- 
egg hen transmits her laying (iiialitie.s 
through her sous much inori' frequently 
than through her daughters, 'riuit 89-egg 
iuillet is worthy of a good imite.

Egg Value of Cooked Bone and Sprouted 
Oats 
1 read the amount of \-olk and white 
of eggs estimated in several dilVerent 
kinds of feed for ]M>ultry. I would like 
to know the amount in <-ooked hone 
ground up; also in sprouted oats just 
commencing to sprout and when one inch 
long. B. o. 
Connecticut. 
Tt would be difficult to give ti definite 
answer to the above question as to cooked 
ground bone, biicause it would depend so 
much on whether the fats, juices, etc., 
were removed, or fwl with the bone. 
Fresh-cut bone contains in etieh pound 
the elements for 5.9(5 yolks and .”»..’>(5 
whites. Cooking this until all the fat, 
etc., was removed would leave little but 
the lime and iibospliorus of the bone; both 
useful in the internal economy of liens 
but not easifv determined in terms of 
yolks and white.s. 
As to sj'-roiifed i>ats’ if they are fed 
complete, that h- tiie whole thing, sprout, 
oat and rootlets, i doubt if they would 
vary much in value from dry oats; y'v/^ 
for each pound of o;it.s, 1.95 yolks, l.,55 
whites. But if nothing was fed but tin* 
clipped-off green tops, the value would 
be very much h’ss. not much, if any 
more, than cabbage, which would be 
about four-tenths of a yolk and one-tenth 
of a white, for each pound. But the 
feeding value of green feed like sprouted 
oats is not only in the egg content of it, 
hut far more in the stimulating of the 
lien’s appetite, and in giving the bulk to 
distend the crop, also contributing the 
ehlorophyl, the green coloring matter, so 
liighly de.sired by all animal life except 
the carnivorous. Even man is not be¬ 
yond liking lettuce, spinach and other 
“greens.” G. A. C.
