Silage for Hens 
Will silage made from clover, Alfalfa, 
oats and Canada peas or rape keep iu 
good enough conditio for poultry feed¬ 
ing? If so. what de silo would you 
recommend for a fioc-k of from 2,500 to 
3,000 liens? W. H. 
Delaware. 
I do not know of any successful at¬ 
tempts to ensile the green stuffs that you 
mention, or others, for the use of poultry, 
though 1 see no reason why it should not 
be done if the flock was large enough to 
consume the silage before it spoiled from 
exposure to the air after the silo was 
opened. Even with corn silage, it has 
been found necessary to feed off the top 
each day or lose much from spoiling, and 
a flock of hens^ would have to be large to 
consume the silage from any practicable 
mod silo. As si practical method of pro- 
vuling green stuff for poultry, it does 
not seem to have met with favor, though 
some such silos may Ik* in use. I cannot 
suggest a suitable size for such a silo 
further than to say that it would have to 
be of small diameter, in proportion to its 
height, in order that the upper layers of 
silage might be kept fed off before they 
spoiled. 
As to the green stuffs that you mention, 
clover and Alfalfa alone have not been 
IouikI very satisfactory for silage, making 
a more satisfactory product when ensile' 
■with other plants containing more sugar, 
such as corn and sorghum. If well packed 
to exclude the air from the hollow steins, 
green oats may he ensiled alone or with 
peas, the latter as refuse from pea-can¬ 
ning factories being now preserved in this 
way. Rape does not make good silage, 
the product being watery and ill-smelling.

Poultry Questions 
Do you consider it profitable to keep 
year-old hens? They are beginning to 
molt now, but are still laying some. I 
have 275 hens in one house that lay 
around 80 eggs per day, and 175 in an¬ 
other house that lay 50 eggs a day. Do 
you think they would lay next Winter? 
What is the outlook for poultry for the 
coming year? I have White Leghorns. 
Are they more profitable than the heavier 
breeds? What is a good ration for molt¬ 
ing bens? C. E. W. 
New York. 
Yes, yearling hens should not be dis¬ 
posed of because of their age; many are 
profitably kept through three years of 
production. Age, however, is no indi¬ 
cation of quality, and a poor hen is poor 
property at any age. Good producers 
should not be molting now. The heavy 
producers are late molters. Those that 
stop laying and molt ‘before September 
are the inferior members of the flock, and 
the earlier they molt, the poorer their 
yearly egg record will have been. Your 
egg production now indicates that you 
could not have many any time this season 
and that there is something wrong with 
your flock or your management. 
White Leghorns are probably the most 
profitable of the egg-laying breeds that 
are kept strictly for egg production. Un¬ 
der some circumstances, however, other 
breeds might prove more profitable, and 
no one variety can he said to excel all 
others. 
The outlook for the coming year seems 
to me to be good for good fowls, properly 
kept and managed ; poor for others. 
A good ration for laying and molting 
hens may be made up of mixed whole 
grains, containing 50 per cent or more 
of corn, for the scratch grain, and a mash 
composed of equal parts of cornmeal, 
wheat bran, middlings, ground oats, glu¬ 
ten feed and beef scrap, green food of 
some kind, crushed oyster shells and grit,
