THE HENYARD 
Beans as Poultry Food 
We have had many questions of late 
about feeding ground dry beaus to live 
stock as a part of a mixed ration. Poul- 
trymeu iu particular are asking about 
this. Some of them have a chance to buy 
cull beans at a low figure. A bulletin 
from the Connecticut College gives the 
following suggestions for poultry feed : 
“Dry Mash.—Beans.lOO lbs.; middliugs 
(flour is best), 100 lbs.: cqrnmeal or hom¬ 
iny, 100 lbs.; ground oats. 100 lbs.; glu¬ 
ten. 100 lbs. beef scrap. 100 lbs. 
“Scratch Grain.—Cracked corn, 200 
lbs.; oats (40 or 42-lb. oats best), 100 
lbs.: wheat, 100 lbs. 
“Barley and buckwheat may be used 
when prices are right. Coutrol mash con¬ 
sumption by increasing or decreasing 
graiu.” 
We have used Soy beaus to some extent 
and found them very useful when mixed 
With other feed. liens do not like the 
beaus alone and will not eat them freely. 
When mixed with cracked corn. oats, 
wheat or barley, the beans are eaten free¬ 
ly, and give good returns. We think a 
very useful dry mash could be made of 
crushed beans, good Alfalfa bay, corn, 
barley and beef scrap, with practically all 
except the scrap grown on the average 
farm. In fact, we hear some remarkable 
stories about beans as a useful food. One 
man of nearly 80, and in splendid health, 
attributes bis condition largely to the fact 
that lie eats a large spoonful of ground 
dry beans, raw, every day. 
Curtains in Henhouse 
I have a chicken-house of the mouitor 
style, open front, with curtains to drop 
over the perches as well as the open front. 
All windows are along the top. The pens 
are 50 ft.. 40 ft. deep. What is the 
proper way to use the curtains iu cold 
weather? T have been dropping the cur¬ 
tains in front of the perches at night and 
leaving the front open day and night. 
Should I have a few windows opeii at 
the top for ventilation at night? There 
is a space between the rafters over the 
curtains. For what purpose do you use 
the front curtains? Should they be down 
ou cold days? J. A. S. 
New York. 
Curtains directly iu front of perches 
are open to the objection that they confine 
the air aud moisture from the liens’ lungs 
and bodies through the night, and render 
the fowls more susceptible to colds than 
they would otherwise be. If curtains are 
to be used at all, they should be at some 
distauce from the fowls, and should not 
confine them to a closed sleepiug compart¬ 
ment. I do not know just what the Win¬ 
ter conditions are iu your locality, but 
should think that curtains would be un¬ 
necessary iu a house 40 feet deep. If the 
front is open, it would undoubtedly he 
best to keep the windows at the top of 
the house closed. Windows at the top 
of a building let the warm air escape 
rapidly, and I see no need for their use 
in cold weather in a monitor type house 
with plenty of ventilation through an open 
front. Perhaps it would he best to cur¬ 
tain these windows in very cold weather 
for protection against too rapid radiation 
of the interior heat and to depend upon 
the open front for light aud air. With¬ 
out kuowiug more about the exact con¬ 
ditions present, I should he inclined to 
think that your practice of leaving the 
front open day and night is best, and that 
if combs are apt to freeze ou zero nights, 
curtains might be dropped iu front of the 
perches, but at some distance from them; 
far enough so that the air behind them 
would not become unduly moist before 
morning. Experiment would show what 
that distance should be. It is not at all 
unlikely that curtains arc entirely super¬ 
fluous iu the building that you describe, 
and that windows in the top of the build¬ 
ing should be kept closed through the 
Winter. M. B. D. 
Private Records for Hens 
It seems to me hardly fair to honest 
poultrymen that you write so disparaging¬ 
ly of trap-nest records made “privately.” 
It is not possible to have all one’s best 
hens trap-nested officially, and many peo¬ 
ple, like myself, spend much time and 
money in trapping their pullets honestly. 
This past year my best pullet laid 100 
eggs—the same as the host at Storrs— 
and her record is just as honest as the 
Storrs record, even if not official. I en¬ 
tirely agree that a disinterested person 
cannot put the same confidence in a pri¬ 
vate record as in a public record, and 
that the laying contests do great good, 
but if there were no private records the 
official records could not ho so high. Last 
year I bought six hens from Tom Barron 
which have records—according to Mr. 
Barron—of 270 up to 282. These were 
not official records, hut I have enough 
confidence in Mr. Barron’s honesty to be¬ 
lieve these are true records. A good many 
people buy stock from me, and in time 
come to have considerable confidence iu 
my honesty. I know there are dishonest 
poultrymen as well as dishonest cattle¬ 
men. hut au official record will not make 
a dishonest mau honest. On the strength 
of his official records it is easier for him 
to cheat the public if he wishes than if 
he had no official records.
