Brown Leghorn and White Wyandotte 
Cross 
I am thinking of crV.., .g White Wyan¬ 
dotte hens with a Brown ,‘ghorn rooster. 
Can you tell me what colored fowls I 
shall get from such a cross? F. M. s. 
I do not know that I have ever seen 
the result of this particular cross, but I 
should expect a mixture of colors that it 
would be .hard to describe. You would 
get. not only some sort of combination 
of the colors of the parent stock, blit very 
probably, in addition would bring out 
some suppressed markings that long gen¬ 
erations of selection had bred out of the 
fowls crossed. If you are looking for 
something exceptionally handsome or use¬ 
ful as a result of this cross, you will 
probably be disappointed. It has taken 
many years of careful breeding to make 
these varieties what they are. All this 
work can be destroyed in one year by a 
single cross. m. b. D 
Ration for Pullets 
I have a small flock (25) of S. C. 
White Leghorn pullets which were late 
hatched, and are now just beginning to 
lay. They are laying 33 per cent at 
present. I am feeding the following dry 
mash: Ground oats, 40 per cent; glu¬ 
ten, 30 per cent; bran, 10 per cent; meat 
scrap, 20 per cent. Morning and night 
I feed whole corn, cSO per cent, rye, 20 
per cent, with a little buckwheat. * Will 
you criticize this ration, and toll me 
whether I can improve upon it by using 
more ingredients? G. A. s. 
Sullivan Co., N. Y. 
I have no criticism to offer of a ration 
which enables late-hatched pullets to 
give a 33 per cent yield of eggs early in 
January. You are giving the usual 
amount of beef scrap, but omitting the 
wheat middlings and cornmeal usually in¬ 
cluded in the mash. Your pullets are get¬ 
ting their cornmeal unground, and in ad¬ 
dition a considerable Quantity of rye, 
which many poultrymen believe to be 
uusuited to the poultry ration. Your re¬ 
sults might be better if yon fed wheat 
instead of rye and added meal and mid¬ 
dlings to the mash, and they might not. 
There is no way of knowing without 
dividing the flock and making the test. 
If you really want a criticism of your 
ration that will be worth something ask 
the pullets for it. Divide the flock, keep 
both parts under exactly the same condi¬ 
tions, aside from the ration, and observe 
the results. m. b. d. 
Nest Eggs 
I should like to have some advice about 
so-called “lice-repelling nest eggs.” I am 
keeping about 400 liens regularly, and I 
need quite a lot of nest eggs, but the 
china eggs we used to buy are hard 1 to 
get now, while the 1 ice-killing or repelling 
eggs can be bought very easily. I bought 
two dozen of these eggs last week, and 
they have a very strong smell. Do you 
know whether that strong smell is liable 
to hurt eggs for table or incubator use? 
Douglas, Mass. g. e. k. 
I have never heard any complaints of 
injury to eggs from the strong odor of 
these so-called lice-repelling nest eggs; 
neither, for that matter, have I ever 
known of lioe being seriously incom¬ 
moded by the presence of such eggs in the 
nest. Rut why do you use nest eggs at 
all? They have gone quite out of fashion, 
not even one natural egg being left in the 
nest by the modern poultryrpan to en¬ 
courage the lien’s return to it. Perhaps 
in her natural state the wild hen had to 
be assured that her eggs were not being 
removed from the nest by wild beasts be¬ 
fore she would lay another in the same 
place, but the sophisticated hen of today 
seems to know that she wouldn’t be al¬ 
lowed to sit if her nest were full of egge, 
and she trudges away to the feed hopper 
after her day’s work is ovp- without even 
looking back to see what becomes of her 
product. m. b. d. 
On the Basis of Facts 
'The life of our country 
is built around'its Public 
Utilities. Our social, in¬ 
dustrial and Government 
activities could not exist 
today without the contin¬ 
ued operation of their in¬ 
dispensable services. 
That such services may 
be extended and developed 
to be of the greatest use to 
the greatest number, the 
Federal Government and 
practically all the states 
have appointed Public 
Service Commissioners as 
permanent tribunals to 
regulate public utilities 
with fairness to all 
concerned. 
Facts as to the past and 
studies as to the future, the 
Bell Companies find are es¬ 
sential to the proper man* 
agement and development 
of their business. This in* 
formation is open to study 
by these Commissioners 
and through them by the) 
public generally. 
The solution of the prob¬ 
lem of building up and 
maintaining the public 
utilities, which is of the 
greatest importance to the 
people of this country, is 
assured whenever all the 
facts are known and given 
their due weight.

Hens with Colds 
Will yon prescribe for hens that have 
swollen heads and sore eves? .t v 
Granville, N. Y. 
Swollen heads and sore eves are quite 
apt. to be indications of roup, in which 
case there is not much to be done except 
to kill the affected fowls, bury them 
deeply where their carcasses cannot be 
dug up and made to scatter the disease 
among healthy birds, clean and disinfect 
tiie quarters formerly used by these fowls 
and start again with healthy stock. 
Sometimes, however, these symptoms 
are but those of severe colds. In that 
tase recovery should follow if the fowls 
are placed in warm, dry, well-ventilated 
and comfortable quarters and given good 
care. J owls recover from colds about as 
humans do, and with as few serious re¬ 
sults. The difficulty sometimes lies in 
distinguishing between a severe cold ami 
mild roup. To be on the safe side all 
birds showing these symptoms should be 
promptly removed from tiie flock and kept 
by themselves until the nature of the 
trouble can be determined. m. b. d.

Who Are You Going to Buy 
Your Chicks From This Spring ? 
The Lord Farms, we believe are the largest 
and most successful breeders and shippers of 
White Leghorns In the Eastern 
or Middle States. From a small beginning 
eleven years ago, we have grown from a 12-acre 
farm, and today we own 399 acres. This season 
jve shall produce for our own use 40,000 to 60,000 
Leghorns. We have today also a capacity for 
incubating 103,600 eggs, devoted onlv to one 
breed. We have built this business up simply 
rrom giving customers satisfaction. We have 
never claimed to have the biggest layers in 
America, or the best show birds ln America but 
we have always claimed to have mighty ’good 
all-round Leghorns that our customers invariably 
make money on. Our business is mostly with 
experienced poultrymen who want good stock— 
not necessarily high-priced stock. We try to 
sell chicks that will live, mature quick, above 
the average size, and lay extra good eggs. Fur¬ 
thermore, we think that our birds will average 
as many eggs as any strain you can buy. 
Ir von are looking for sbme real sensible 
bred Leghorns of good size and strain, American 
bred, then write to Lord Farms for their 80- 
page catalog. Dealing with us will eliminate a 
good part of the risk there is in going into the 
poultry business. 
“Ask the man who owns ’em" 
Our Grade A Chicks only $2 8.00 per loo 
Our Grade B. 25.00 per 100 
Hatching eggs about price. Cheaper in thousand lots- 
Do business with a reliable farm that are 
breeders, not simply running a hatchery. 
If you can’t do well with our stock vve don’t 
believe you will do well with any. Address all 
correspondence to our main office.
