Ailing Pullets 
Y\ ill you advise hip as to wliat is wrong 
with my chickens? They are all Spring 
birds, AYhite Rock. They seem sill right, 
then in a few days quite a number of 
them will become droopy and draw in 
their heads, then eyes close ahd they die. 
I have lost quite a number within the 
last three months. I notice under their 
wings it seems all dried up, and the eye 
closes and seems swelled up; they do not 
put their heads under (he wing. 
Pennsylvania. c. j. k. 
^ °u do not give sufficient particulars 
to enable one to form any opinion as to 
the nature of the trouble affecting your 
flock. Swollen, running eyes and nos- 
irils, with a more or less fetid odor to the 
discharge, is one of the prominent symp¬ 
toms of roup, but this is usually a more 
chronic disorder, not killing within a few 
days. It is possible that you have chronic 
roup in your flock, with occasional deaths, 
hut from the fact that these are all pul¬ 
lets and cockerels of this year’s hatch, 
it does not seem likely. m. b. d.

Feeding Laying Hens and Pullets 
What is considered' the best feed for 
pullets about starting to lay. also yearling 
hens*? Do you consider it wise to let 
chickens run out as long as weather its 
favorable like we have been having, or 
do you get best results penned up? 
South Orange, N. J. c. II. E. 
Laying hens and pullets should have 
mixed whole grains, fed morning and night 
in the litter. _ This scratch grain should 
be made up of half, or more, cracked corn 
or wheat, or both, and the balance may be 
composed of oats, barley and huckwlieat. 
It, is not necessary that anything more 
than corn or wheat be fed in this way, 
but .a. greater variety is usually given, la 
addition to this whole grain ration, a 
mash composed of ground grains and mill¬ 
ing by-products, with the addition of ani¬ 
mal food, should be kept constantly before 
the fowls, dry, or fed once daily in a 
moistened condition. Such a mash may 
be made up of equal parts by weight of 
corn meal, wheat middlings, wheat bran, 
ground oats or gluten feed and meat scrap. 
Other combinations may be made, but the 
above is a simple out', containing tin 1 
necessary ingredients of a well-balanced 
ration for egg production. 
Probably the greater proportion of poul- 
trymen prefer to keep the ground mash 
before the fowls at all times. Being fed 
dry in this way, they will not eat more 
than they need, and the whole grain will 
be eagerly looked for. As to quantity, 
the fowls should have all that they will 
Bat, about equally divided between ‘whole 
grain and ground mash. By increasing 
or diminishing the amount of the more 
palatable whole grain fed. the amount of 
mash consumed to satisfy the appetites 
of the fowls may be regulated. 
The health and vigor of growing chick¬ 
ens will be enhanced by giving them the 
freedom of a range until cold, sour 
weather causes them to seek shelter.

Cost of Feed 
Having seen the question asked bv E 
I*. J.. Massachusetts, on page 1841.' and 
the answer he received by M. B. D.. would 
like fo know if there is not a mistake in 
his figuring m regard to the cost of feed 
New Jersey. Mrs. j. w. 
The figures given are not my own. but 
were quoted from the report of the fourth 
annual laying contest at Storrs, Conn 
issued in September, 1010. These cost 
figures could not. of course, be taken as 
representing those of today, since due al¬ 
lowance would have to be made for the 
difference in feed costs from those of 
*' l;^ j on wore doubtless misled by not 
»°ting that fhe contest which furnished 
the figures was not a recent one. So far 
as these figures applied to the consump¬ 
tion of food, about which the question was 
asked, they were as applicable today as 
to any previous year. m. b. d.

duetion when ground and fed raw? 
do they compare with cooked beef scrap? 
Have ground cooked pork bones and 
ground cooked chicken bones any value as 
chicken fet'd? What is the result if too 
much meat scrap is fed to chickens? 
New York. e. s. w. 
The lungs of any animals, if free from 
tuberculous infection, would be of value 
as meat food for poultry. I know of no 
analysis that would make it possible to 
compare them with meat scrap as to food 
value. Ground bones, cooked or un¬ 
cooked, are also of value, though the cook¬ 
ing would remove a certain, indefinite, 
amount of fat and other nutrients. The 
meat and bone found in beef scrap has 
been thoroughly steam cooked under pres¬ 
sure before being dried anti ground for 
feetling. In this process, the greater part 
of the fat is removed and used for other 
purposes. An undue looseness of the 
bowels may be noted where meat scrap is 
fed to excess. m. b. d. 
Several members of the woman’s club 
were chatting with a little daughter of 
the hostess. ‘‘I suppose you are a great 
help to your mamma?” said one. “Ob. 
.vcs,” replied the little miss, “and so is 
Ethel; but it’s my turn to count the 
spoons today after the company is gone.’
