NORTH AMERICAN EGG-LAYING 
CONTEST WINNERS 
By trapnesting and careful breeding we have 
bred a strain of S. C. Reds that have no equal 
in size, shape, color or egg production. Our 
Reds are long, deep breasted and of a dark, rich 
cherry red color. 
Our Reds are proving their laying abililv year 
after year in tlie egg laying contests. 
Our Pen of S. C. Reds in the 1917-1018 X. A. 
—ffff Paying Contest laid 878 eggs. Our hen Xo. 
d was the highest record S. C. Red lien in the 
contest; she laid 220 eggs and did not begin 
laying until the sixth week of the contest. 
Our S. C. Reds lay fine, large brown eggs, and 
we guarantee 85 per cent of the eggs fertile.

Damp Henhouse 
I am a novice in the poultry business 
and have a backyard Hock of 34 R. I. 
Reds that are housed in a building 1 Sx 8 
; ft.. inside dimensions, and in the Winter 
1 am bothered by moisture condensing on 
the side walls and ceiling. This is ab¬ 
sorbed in the litter, causing it to become 
i ery moist, and will freeze in cold weath¬ 
er if not frequently changed. Can you 
j advise me in the matter? j. a. o. 
Watertown, N. Y. 
The dampness of the interior of this 
poultry-house is an indication of insuffi¬ 
cient ventilation. Your metal ventilating 
shaft is not effecting a sufficiently rapid 
[ exchange of air to prevent saturation of 
that in the interior of the building, with 
consequent deposition of moisture in cold 
weather upon walls, litter, etc. Cloth- 
covered openings are usually unsatisfac¬ 
tory as means of ventilating also. Pass¬ 
age of air through them is too slow and 
moderate in volume. By removing the 
window in the center of the front and 
covering the opening with wire poultry 
netting, or. probably still bettor, by ar¬ 
ranging the other windows to drop back 
a few inches at the top. you will get bet¬ 
ter venilation and as dry an interior as 
it is possible to get without artificial heat. 
The openings at tho sides of windows 
dropped back at the top. as suggested, 
should be closed by \ -shaped “hopper- 
side" boards, thus forcing the air entering 
to take an upward direction over the top 
of the sash. A closed poultry house can¬ 
not be kept dry. and dry air, no matter 
In.", cold, is far preferable to that which 
-.s warm but moist. m. b d.

Cannibal Hens; Pale Yolks 
Why ilc lr ns and pullets peck one an¬ 
other’s combs? They are White Leg¬ 
horns, and it always seems to he those 
that, are laying. They have meat all the 
time, dry mash, ashes, etc., but they do 
not lay as they should. I get about four 
eggs from 11 hens and six pullets. I 
feed them regularly, scatter the feed, and 
if they do not clean up I do ot give 
them as much. They have mostly wheat, 
sometimes buckwheat, oats and'cracked 
corn. The yolks of eggs are not yellow. 
'' hen used for a custard it looks very 
pale. T have heard that corn makes the 
yolks yellow. Is it the pure wheat fmt 
is to blame? MRS M c 
Clinton Co., N. Y. 
Wheat and buckwheat, as well as oats, 
are lacking in the coloring matter that 
gives yolks their deep hue. and if the 
grain is largely of these varieties the 
paleness of the yolks that you complain 
of is thus accounted for. More yellow 
corn and such foods as clover hay. 
Alfalfa and green stuffs of any kind will 
change the color of the yolks, though this 
will not add anything to their food value. 
I do not know why hens peck at each 
other’s combs and often seem to enjoy 
killing each other. I suppose that it is 
for the same reason that cows hook their 
mates, horses kick each other and dogs 
fight, but I do not know what that rea¬ 
son is. Turning the flock loose out of 
doors will probably put a stop to the 
vice. m. b. d.

Fattening Capons 
W hat is the best food for fattening 
capons? I cannot get corn chop. 
Bad Axe, Mich. d. f. m. 
Capons may be fattened upon any of 
the available fattening foods used for 
poultry feeding. Corn and oat chop is 
merely corn and oats ground together. 
Cornmeal is the basis of most fattening 
mixtures. Ground oats, barley meal, 
ground buckwheat, meat scrap and skim- 
milk are useful additions. For quick fat¬ 
tening. a mash made from some of the 
above, well moistened with skim-milk and 
with meat scrap added, is excellent. Corn- 
meal alone may he used, but it is the 
usual practice to add other fattening 
grains with it. perhaps as much as a 
matter of economy in feeding as anything 
else. m. b. d.

Depluming Mite 
I should like to have some advice re¬ 
garding my 50 R. I. Red pullets, which I 
am _ taking good care of. Am feeding 
grain morning and evening. Have a dry 
mash before them at all times composed 
of: Ground oats, 25 per cent; ground 
corn. 25 per cent; wheat bran, 25 per 
cent; oilmeal. 10 per cent: meat scrap, 15 
per cent. They have plenty of greens— 
cabbage, beets and apples. I keep the 
henhouse well ventilated. About three 
weeks ago I noticed (first on two and 
now on about 10) that their feathers are 
coming out around the neck near the 
head. I have not seen them pick at each 
other. Gould you tell me the cause of 
this? g. E. 
New York. 
This is probably the work of the de¬ 
pluming mite a mite that burrows in the 
skin at the base of the feathers and causes 
them to loosen and drop out. No harm, 
except to the appearance of the fowls, 
seems to be done by this mite, but it may 
be disposed of by rubbing some bland 
grease well into the skin over the de¬ 
nuded parts and repeating after a few 
days. Sulphur ointment would probably 
be superior to simple ointment and can 
readily be obtained at any drug store.
