“Best Performance Inside Feathers” 
Writing of the record of the R. I. Reds, 
entered, by Underhill Bros, on page 15S4, 
and which in the fifty-first, week have 
gone to 2,406 eggs, you say, “They have 
given the most remarkable performance 
ever framed inside feathers.” I would 
be the last one to detract from that rec¬ 
ord, for I am of the opinion they will 
go to about 24.‘! eggs each at the end of 
the contest, as they laid 30 eggs in the 
fiftieth week and 2S in the fifty-first. 
However, when you add it is “the most 
remarkable performance ever framed in¬ 
side feathers.” I must object to your 
statement. Here are some records upon 
which I base my objection. They are 
taken from official laying contests* and 
as Yanks we will have to admit up to 
this time Australia and New Zealand 
have us beat.

On account of the war these are latest 
records I have. That pen in the Ben¬ 
digo contest has the greatest record to 
date, as far as T have information, and 
is entitled to the designation you gave 
i in your article to the It. I. Beds N. o. 
We cheerfully accept the amendment, 
although it is not an exact comparison 
when 10 birds are matched against six. 
What we should have said was that this 
record of the Underhill Reds beats any¬ 
thing officially recorded in America. If 
that is not a correct statement we are 
ready to be put right. The individua

the record made by their mother, which 
indicates improvement in breeding, since 
their father was the son of a hen with a 
high record. The Australian records 
noted above were all made by Leghorns. 
Speaking of these egg-laying contests and 
the value of improved strains or families, 
one of our readers writes: 
“Suppose everyone produced such birds 
as these Underhill Beds! Eggs would 
then be so plentiful that you could not 
give them away.” 
We doubt it; but suppose on the other 
hand, no one ever tried (o improve poul¬ 
try. Our hens would now be laying about 
like the original jungle fowl—something 
like 12 or 15 eggs a year! We have seen 
too many men and women come up from 
poverty and discouragement through the 
improvement of poultry or plants or flow¬ 
ers even to attempt to discourage efforts 1 
to improve. We cannot all stand at the 
top, but every one of us can be made bet¬ 
ter and happier by trying to do a little 
better each year. 
New Corn for Laying Pullets 
Would it be all right to food new corn 
to laying pullets, and also to pullets that 
will lay in about a month, and in what 
proportion? I am now feeding equal 
parts of oats, wheat, cracked corn and 
barley, morning and evening, and dry 
mash in hoppers, of one-half bag bran, 
one-half bag meal, one-half bag gluten, 
one bag ground oats and about two pails 
of beef scrap. Is that about right? 
Is Alfalfa all that is necessary for green 
feed for laying hens, and, if not, how 
are kale and rape? c. E. w. 
Westhampton, N. Y. 
There is some prejudice against the use 
of new corn for feeding fowls ; why. I do 
not know. I can see no objection to its 
use in any proportion in which old corn 
would'be used. As I do not know the size 
of the “bags” and “pails” used by you in 
compounding your mash, I cannot pass 
judgment upon its composition. I should 
like a similar one composed of eoual parts 
by weight of bran, middlings, ground 
oats, cornmeal, gluten feed and beef scrap, 
however. Green Alfalfa is sufficient and 
superior to kale or rape. Alfalfa or clover 
hay should be fed in the Winter, too, if 
available. While the hay lacks the suc¬ 
culence of the green stuff, it keep6 its 
other needed food elements and succulence 
may be supplied by cabbages, sprouted 
oats or mangels. M. R. D.
