Amount of Scratch Feed 
What is the proper amount of scratch 
feed that I should feed daily to every 20 
hens? By this I mean the amount I 
should feed morning and night in the lit¬ 
ter. My hens are of a heavy type, Barred 
Hocks, White Rocks and Rhode Island 
Reds. I feed my hens at noon table 
scraps, which they clean up in about 15 
or 20 minutes, and at 2 o’clock I open 
the hoppers with dry mash and keep them 
open until 7.30 in the evening, when I 
turn out the lights. I am having good 
success in the way of electric lights, and 
my production for 175 hens last month 
was about 35 per cent 
Wilkesbarre, Pa. E. E. M. 
Hens that are laying well Should eat 
about the same quantity of scratch grain 
that they do of dry mash, and the rela¬ 
tive amounts of each consumed are regu¬ 
lated by increasing or decreasing the 
amount of whole grain given, particularly 
at the morning feeding, with the purpose 
of compelling the fowls to satify their 
appetities at the dry mash, hoppers. If 
an excess of the more palatable whole 
grain is given, less of the dry mash will 
naturally be eaten. No definite amounts 
of grain or mash for any flock can be 
prescribed, as the fowls should have all 
that they will readily clean up, hut from 
eight to 10 quarts of grain per hundred 
fowls daily, in addition to the dry mash, 
is about what laying fowls require. By 
feeding lightly in the litter in the morn¬ 
ing and fully at night the fowls will eat 
the dry mash well throughout the day and 
will go to roost with full crops at night.

Suspected Roup 
I have about 150 Barred Rock fowls. 
Until lately they have been healthy, but 
a short while ago they got cold. Water 
would run from their eyes (always the 
left eye). In a day or so their wind¬ 
pipes would have a ring of corruption 
around it They have red combs, some 
laying, but they die in two or three days. 
Have given them a roup remedy, but 
some die anyway. Could you tell me of 
something that would take quicker effect 
than the medicine I am giving them? 
New Jersey. b. B. 
Remove any affected hens from the 
flock and clean all eating and drinking 
utensils that have been used by them 
with boiling water. Treat the diseased 
fowls with a saturated solution—all that 
the water will take up—of boric acid in 
soft water, using a pledget of absorbent 
| cotton upon a toothpick to reach the de¬ 
posit in the mouth and at the entrance 
of the windpipe. Apply the solution sev¬ 
eral times daily. If the deposit at the 
windpipe entrance is choking the fowl, 
try to remove it gently with the cotton 
probe. Dip the fowl’s entire head for a 
few seconds into the same solution to 
get it into the eyes and nostrils. Pay 
careful attention to cleanliness of uten¬ 
sils and quarters, have ample ventilation, 
without direct drafts upon the perches. 
Avoid, too, musty hay or straw in the 
Utter. m. B. D.

Egg-eating Pullets 
Could you tell me anything to do for 
egg-eating hens? I have about 50 pullets 
and they have just started eating their 
eggs very badly. They have commercial 
scratch feed and mash. They have shells 
in front of them all the time, and also 
have fresh meat and some green feed. 
New York. sirs. b. t. 
Darken nests and have them so ar¬ 
ranged that the hens cannot, stand upon 
the edges and look at the tempting food 
in them or roll any eggs in them to the 
floor. Better have the entrance at the 1 
rear and small. Gather the eggs several 
times daily, and watch for offending pul¬ 
lets. Remove these from the flock if 
found. 
Here are the standard “cures.” Some¬ 
times they are effectual: Fill a blown 
egg shell with as vile a mixture of pepper, 
mustard and vinegar as you can concoct. 
Leave it upon the henhouse floor for the 
liens to sample. File the tips of the sus¬ 
pected hens’ beaks until they are too ten¬ 
der to break a shell. Use china nest 
eggs, and leave several of these about 
where the hens will peck at them, and 
finally decide that they are hard boiled 
and not to their taste, anyway. 
Really, prevention is the best remedy. 
The habit once formed is hard to eradi¬ 
cate. See that the fowls have plenty of 
oyster shells or other shell-making ma¬ 
terial (clover hay is good). Use dark¬ 
ened nests, as suggested above. Gather 
eggs frequently. Watch for offenders and 
remove them. Give the hens deep litter 
and make them work for their food and 
keep busy. And, finally, if necessary, 
make some nests with carpet-covered, 
sloping floors, that will permit any eggs 
laid in them to roll beneath a projecting 
ledge at one side out of reach of any 
beaks. m. b. d.

With the Straw Spreader Attachment 
Y OU can turn your old straw stacks Into money. Soil 
authorities have proved conclusively that straw spread 
on growing crops either as a cover or to prevent soil 
washing is worth many times the effort it takes. Straw puts 
back into your soil nourishment that your crops take out, and 
insures its productiveness for the years to come. 
Ohio Spreaders with the straw spreading attachment are 
strictly one man machines. The additional beater on the at¬ 
tachment, with the aid of the other two, regular equipment on 
Ohio Spreaders, deliver it to the distributor for a smooth 
and even spread- 
The many special features of particular merit 
built into Ohio Spreaders warrant your care¬ 
ful consideration. The steel distributor, the 
diamond shaped steel teeth hot riveted in steel 
cross bars, the perfect balance of the beaters 
working from both top and bottom of the 
load, the screw down grease cups at every 
wearing point, the tight bottom and steel arch 
make Ohio Spreaders truly “The Spreaders 
With A Longer Life.” 
Built to last in two styles, the Bellevue or 
No. 10, and the Ohio or No. 15. See your 
dealer or write us for free spreader literature.
