Burglar Alarm for Henhouse 
I notice a request for a burglar alarm 
for a chicken bouse, and also the reply. 
1 had au alarm on my houses in Virginia 
which worked very satisfactorily, and 
which I think is better than the manufac¬ 
tured material. I had my wires running 
underground through an inch pipe (any 
kind of au old pipe, so it is not leaky) 
from the chicken house to the dwelling, 
ami through pipes from chicken house to 
chicken house so that there was no 'dan-' 
ger of burglars cutting the wires. I 
used common clock-spring for the con¬ 
tacts, instead of the manufactured but¬ 
tons, By using this spring no one can 
prevent, the alarm from ringing, as I 
have known where thieves after chickens 
would take an ordinary table knife and 
feel for the button between the door and 
door sill, and press it, while the other 
man with him would open the door. That 
way the alarm would not go off. By 
using clock spring, if the burglar tried to 
prevent the alarm going off by trying to 
as he would the manufactured button, he 
would ring the alarm himself. These 
springs are cut or broken in pieces about 
3 or 4 in., then wire soldered to the end. 
which, goes on the door sill. Then a piece 
of wire is soldered to au ordinary staple 
(not galvanized) and the staple is nailed 
in the door, with the end of the spring 
(which is nailed to the sill) under the 
arch of the staple. When the door is 
opened and the staple, which should only 
Plan for Henhouse Alarm 
be about or in. from touching the 
spring, then the alarm goes off. If any¬ 
one tries to manipulate the spring be¬ 
tween the crack of the door, he is in 
trouble sure, if he is doing it to steal. I 
have tried both kinds of alarms, and this 
is the best. G. W. babbett.

Mash for Laying Hens 
Will you give me a formula for a mash 
for laying hens that would substitute 
ground bone for beef scran and use corn, 
oats, buckwheat, bran, gluten, cotton or 
linseetl, no wheat if possible? e. e. d. 
The substitution of ground bone for 
beef scrap would not give you a good mash 
for laying hens, as it would deprive the 
ration of the elements of animal food 
needed for good egg production. Skim- 
milk or fresh fish scrap may be substi¬ 
tuted. or a mash may. of course, he made 
up entirely of ground graius. While it 
would be possible to eet as much protein 
from some of the grain products as the 
meat scrap furnishes, the lack of animal 
protein would be evident in the results in 
egg yield. If ^kim-milk is not available, 
you can purchase condensed buttermilk 
of the manufacturers and feed that; but 
animal protein from some source is needed 
if the maximum egg production is to be 
expected. 
It is not necessary to feed whole wheat; 
the by-products of the milling process, 
bran and middlings, may be used in the 
mash and corn or a mixture of corn, oats 
and buckwheat fed as scratch grains. A 
good dry. mash, containing about the 
minimum amount of beef scrap needed 
when skim-milk is not fed. may be made 
up from equal parts by weight of corn- 
meal. wheat bran, middlings, ground oats, 
gluten feed and beef scrap. A still bet¬ 
ter proportion would make the beef scrap 
one-fifth part of the whole. M. B. d.

I have raised a fine flock of 200 White 
Leghorns, and did not have much trouble 
with them until about a week ago. At 
that time one of the lu^st pullets began 
walking with its head turned to one side, 
as if it were blind in one eye. though 
both eyes seem all right. A day or so 
later one eye of another pullet became 
half closed, and water kept running from 
the affected eye. This morning still an¬ 
other pullet began to walk like a duck. 
New York. a. b. 
The pullet with twisted neck should 
have a good physic, a tablespoonful or 
more of castor oil or a teaspoonful of 
Epsom salts dissolved in a little water or 
mixed with moist mash. The one with 
running eyes probably has a cold, and it 
would be well to separate her from the 
rest of the flock if trouble is not geueral. 
Tbe lame pullet may be suffering from 
’’leg weakness.” and she. too, should be 
placed by herself until recovery. Upon 
geueral principles it might he well to give 
this' bird a physic also, though just what 
causes “leg weakness” in growing pullets 
and cockerels ie not understood.

I F you want to get your springers to market early or if you want to de¬ 
velop early layers you must feed your youjig chicks now with properly 
balanced, easily digested, nourishing food. Ubiko Buttermilk Growing 
Mash contains everything needed by the young chick for rapid and 
healthy growth. It builds big frames and develops feathers quickly. It is 
made of meat meal, bone meal, corn meal, wheat bran and middlings, ground 
oats, ground barley, linseed meal and dried buttermilk. 
It analyzes 15 % protein, 3 % fat, 6 % fibre, 10 % ash. 
Note carefully 5 important things about this ration: ( 1 ) Protein is of the 
right kind, mainly from meat and milk. (2) Fibre very low insuring highest 
digestibility. (3) Buttermilk added to aid digestion and prevent disease. 
(4) Ash is phosphate of lime from sterilized bone meal. (5) Great variety of 
ingredients, very palatable. 
Get a supply of Ubiko. Buttermilk Growing Mash today and and insure the 
health of your chicks. Time is money. Save time in the development of your 
chicks and you will make money.
