Why some 
chick feed spoils 
Excessive moisture is one 
reason.- 
Our Steam-Cooking process 
reduces the moisture in the 
grain, dextrinizes the starch 
making the feed easily digest¬ 
ed as well as sweet and whole¬ 
some. 
HO 
Steam-Cooked Chick Feed 
saves time and trouble, 
saves chicks lives, speeds up 
development and is most 
economical. 
All grains in H-0 Steam- 
Cooked Chick Feed are scien¬ 
tifically selected, and thorough 
cooking makes these splendid 
grains easily assimilated by 
baby chicks. 
With the thousands of suc¬ 
cessful poultry raisers who 
have found H-0 the one most 
successful chick feed, no one 
need hesitate to try it and find 
out for himself. 
And now H-0 Steam-Cooked 
Chick Feed comes in a new, handy 
5-lb. carton. Durable, space-sav- 
ing, and just the right size to feed 
with. Look for the bright yellow 
5-lb. package. 
Your dealer can get it for you.

Leghorns for the “Cold North” 
Will you advise me what are the best 
laying strains in White Leghorns, both 
Single Comb and Rose Comb: also where 
1 might obtain some first-class hatching 
eggs, or breeders and chicks, of the strains 
which you recommend? Ii strikes, me 
that Rose Comb White Leghorns might 
be better adapted to this relatively cold 
climate than the Single Combs. I do not 
reeall ever having noticed any Rose Combs 
in this vicinity, but. unless there is Rome 
objection to raising them in this locality I 
would like to try them out. IIow do Rose 
Combs compare with the Single Combs 
from point of laying and general charac¬ 
teristics? G. w. o. 
Plattsburg, N. Y. 
With a little care in housing, G. W. G. 
will find no trouble in beeping Single 
Comb White Leghorns as far north as 
Clinton County. I know they are being 
successfully kept on a commercial scale 
as far north as St. Lawrence County. 
The Leghorns are one of the most popular 
breeds throughout the country. It has 
been estimated that more than 90 per 
cent of the birds kept in commercial plants 
are White Leghorns. 
The Rose Comb White Leghorns are 
sports from the Single Comb. The birds 
as a rule are smaller, and the breed as a 
whole are no better layers than the Sin¬ 
gle Comb. 
The combs of the Single Comb breed will 
uot freeze, if the roosting house is dry, un¬ 
less the temperature is very low. Dryness 
and good ventilation are more essential 
than tightly built houses. If the litter is 
always dry it is a good sign of dryness in 
the house. It is well in extremely cold 
regions to have the roosting perches high 
up, and to have a tight loft above or a 
double-ceiled roof. If the perches are 
within three feet of the ceiling and a drop 
curtain of porous burlap is used in front 
of the perches, when the temperature is 
below zero, there will rarely be any dan¬ 
ger of the combs freezing. In the case of 
small houses, if the temperature drops to 
25 or 30 degree below zero outside, it 
will often pay to hang a lighted lantern in 
the house over night. Do not fail to 
leave a window open a few inches, at 
least, no matter how cold it is outside. 
As to desirable strains, the best plan 
is to develop your own. There will be 
good and poor layers in every strain. By 
marking those pullets that, are laying 
after the middle of September you can 
select out. the long-time and thus the best 
layers. It has been found that the best 
layers are those that begin first and con¬ 
tinue latest the next season, and that in 
general they will be the same birds. Thus 
by selecting the Fall layers of the pullet 
fioek we can make up a pen of heavy lay¬ 
ers for the next year’s breeding flock. 
By watching the advertisements of poul¬ 
try and by choosing a breeder who keeps 
only the one breed desired, one is reason- 
ably safe in ordering. As a rule it is bet¬ 
ter to order from a commercial plant and 
from a nearby source. Chicks from two- 
year-old heus hatched in early May should 
be got to laying, so as to pay for the 
feed eaten, by the middle of November.

Laying Ration 
We have 75 or SO Plymouth Rock hens, 
pullets and two years old: they appear in 
tine condition, but are not producing the 
eggs they ought. You gave a dry mash 
and scratch feed made up of corn, oats 
and barley in part, little if any wheat. 
While we have wheat, would not like to 
use it if avoidable, as it is rather expen¬ 
sive. Our hens have free range of an 
Alfalfa field and orchard. Would it do to 
substitute milk for the beef scrap usually 
given? I have never tried the mash sys¬ 
tem of feeding, but want to give it a trial. 
What proportion of scratch grain to be 
i fed in litter should be given? Do you 
not think lf> dozen eggs a week a rather 
poor showing for these liens? Of course 
they are fed, but not in a way to produce 
eggs. When we kill for eating vve find 
them fat and none is pale of comb or 
seems ailing. MRS. o. ,t. s. 
New York. 
A mixture of corn. oats, barley, wheat 
and buckwheat, or of any of these'that are 
available, may be used :t<s scratch feed. 
W heat is too expensive for any consider¬ 
able proportion of the mixture, and may 
be used in small quantity or omitted. The 
dry mash should contain a considerable 
proportion of high protein foods, and a 
good general formula is equal parts, by 
weight, of wheat bran, wheat middlings, 
corumeal, gluten feed, ground oats and 
j meat scrap. While milk does not wholly 
: take the place of meat in the ration, it is 
| the best substitute for it. and. if to be had 
in sufficiently large quantity, may be made 
to replace it. It is best fed sour and clab¬ 
bered. and all that the fowls will eat 
should be given. If on free range, with an 
I Alfalfa field included, pullets should cer- 
I tainly do well ou this ration. The mash 
is best fed dry in a hopper always open 
to birds on free range. The whole grains 
should be fed night and morning in such 
amount as the fowls will quickly pick tip. 
It is well to scrimp them a little in the 
morning to induce greater activity through 
the day and greater consumption of the 
| less palatable dry mash, and to give a full 
, feed at night. m. b. d.
