Poor Laying 
I have 225 hens and pullets, and we 
have not got even 24 eggs out of the 
whole lot yet; have 40 yearlings, 80 good- 
looking pullets, hatched last April. The 
pullets are in one house; roosting house, 
10x15; scratching shed, 10x16. Would 
it not be better to take 30 or more and 
put elsewhere? Yearlings are in two 
coops, each 8x16 ft. This is a long coop 
of four units. Other people’s hens seem 
to lay, and I don’t understand why mine 
do not. They get nearly 5 ozr. a day each 
of food. There were a lot of red mites in 
the coops. d. w. M. 
A combined roosting house and scratch¬ 
ing shed 10x31 ft. should be large enough 
for 80 pullets, but, if infested with red 
mites and lice, hese quarters certainly 
would not be suitable for any flock. They 
should have been thoroughly cleaned out 
and whitewashed and the mites should 
have been destroyed by several applica¬ 
tions of kerosene and oil, kerosene and 
carbolic acid, earbolineum or some one of 
the coal tar disinfetants. to the perches 
and to all their hiding places. Some part 
of your lack of success in getting eggs 
may be due also to insufficient or ill-bal¬ 
anced rations. Try keeping a dry mash 
composed of equal parts of wheat bran, 
middlings, eornmeal, gluten feed and beef 
scrap constantly before the fowls in open 
hoppers, from which they cannot scratch 
and waste the mixture. Keep water also 
constantly before them. for. without it, 
they cannot consume sufficient dry mash. 
Give them some kind of vegetable food, 
raw potatoes, if you have .nothing better. 
Feed their mixed grains morning and 
night in litter. The trouble with enlarged 
and sour crops may be due to lack of grit 
and crushed oyster shell. Supply these 
with some charcoal, if you have not al¬ 
ready done so. There may be other rea¬ 
sons for the poor laying of these pullets, 
of course, but the above suggestions may 
be sufficient to bring about better results.
