THE HENYARD 
Feeding 100 Pullets 
I have 100 It. I. Red pullets 8 months 
old. I bought 100 lbs. each of cormneal, 
ground oats. bran, middlings, meat scrap, 
cracked corn and oats. The last two 
items are used as scratch feed and the 
others as mash. How many dat’S should 
such quantity last during Winter with 
the pullets penned in comfortable hous¬ 
ing? C. B. 
New York. 
I 
I 
! 
Professor Lewis’ book “Productive 
Poultry Husbandry” suggests that eight 
lbs. of grain daily is sufficient for 20 
pullets during the Winter season. Using 
this calculation as a basis you would 
require from 35 to 40 lbs. of grain per 
day for the 100 Rhode Island Red pullets. 
According to instructions issued by Cor¬ 
nell University, birds will consume about 
twice as much scratch feed as they will 
mash during the Winter. It would seem 
therefore, that the 700 lbs. of grain that 
you have identified would last the 100 
birds from 25 to 30 days. It occurs to 
me that you will require more of the 
scratch ration than you have indicated, 
especially if it is true that birds will con¬ 
sume about twice as much scratch feed 
as mash when they are given free access 
to the latter in hoppers. F. c. M. 
Manageement of Laying Birds 
In reply to some recent poultry ques¬ 
tions, I would -say: 
1. The least floor space allowable per 
bird is 3 sq. ft. 
2. The best, proportion is two-thirds 
pullets and one-third yearlings. Raise 
one-fourth to one-tliird pullets and cull 
down to the needed number. 
3. Start lights at 4 a. m. or use eve¬ 
ning lights to 8 p. m. Use lights August 
1 on yearling hens to induce Fall laying. 
September 1 select the needed breeders 
and take lights off them. Let the best of 
the rest lay on ; they will lay heavily tip 
to Nov. 1. or even later. Let the pullets 
take the place of the hens that gradually 
drop out- This method works perfectly, 
and it is unnecessary to have pullets 
hatched earlier than forepart of April. 
Two hatches are best, three weeks apart. 
PWhen using the above method it is best 
to have a little more surplus room for the 
Fall pullets, so they will not bo crowded 
waiting for the hens to stop laying. 
No poultryman who is supplying a Teg¬ 
ular trade throughout the year can afford 
to be without lights. We have been using 
them five years, ai d induced Cornell to 
work out extensive experiments. They 
solve the problems poultrvmen have in 
guaranteeing a certain number of eggs to 
their trade the year around.

Trap-nesting Ducks 
Someone said you cannot trap-nest 
ducks. I trap-nest ducks, and know the 
number of eggs each duck lays. I have 
a house that holds 10 ducks and one 
drake, with a nest for each duck. The 
house is G ft. wide and 10 ft. long, 2 ft. 
high in hack and 4 ft. high in front. The 
nests are 2 ft. deep and 1 ft. wide, made 
of plaster laths from the floor to roof, 
with a sliding door in front of each nest. 
At night I see that, a duck goes in each 
nest, and as fast, as 'they go in I dose the 
door. The ducks arc let out one at a 
time in the morning, and if they have 
laid an egg the number of the duck is 
taken and books kept. After one week 
of this they will £o in themselves to 
their own nest and you will have no 
trouble. 
Most ducks lay at night, but those that 
lay later iu the day could ‘be .kept in until 
they do. and feed them in their nest.

Prevention of Chicken Pox 
Will you advise me how to ward oft 
chicken pox in my flock of pullets? It 
seems to be running wild among diflerent 
flocks in this vicinity : in fact, one flock 
within a stone’s throw of my flock has it. 
One man recommends sulphur, 1 lb. to 
10 lbs. of dry mash. 
Connecticut. w. W. 
Chicken pox is transmitted from one 
affected fowl to another and from one 
flock to another, as other contagious dis¬ 
eases are. It may be avoided, then, by 
isolation or quarantine of diseased flocks. 
While this may seem- a simple thing, it 
is not always as practicable as m'uht be 
thought, since the germs of such diseases 
are carried in unknown ways many times 
Mid escape the vigilance of the most care¬ 
t’ll. There is nothing known that will 
prevent the disease if administered in the 
food, and there is no reason for believing 
that any disease of this nature may 
eventually be controlled by drugs admin¬ 
istered internally. 
Probably the most promising preventive 
treatment is by vaccination of healthy 
fowls, much as smallpox is prevented in 
humans by vaccination. This requires a 
special vaccine prepared for the purpose. 
' I would suggest that you write your State 
Agricultural College at Storrs. Conn., 
asking for any information and help that 
they can give you along this line. They 
may he able to supply you with vaccine 
and directions for its use. i>. 
The answer lies in correct feeding- At the 
New Jersey Egg-Laying Contest they use 
jaurer's “Kwality” 
Meat Scrap 
because it is sweet, sound and finely pul¬ 
verized so that it blends well in the mash.
