THE HENYARD 
Ration for Hen 
ITow many \\ hite J/eghon i’ hens can I 
keep to advantage in a house IS ft. wide, 
140 ft. long, divided into four pens, and 
how much whole grain should I give 100 
heny with dry mash before them all the 
time? I use wheat, craeke'd" corn, buck- 
vyheat and oats mixed, pattered in the 
litter three times a day. Is it better to 
keep green stuff before them all day or 
just in the afternoon? I feed them cab¬ 
bage and apples. j. n. w 
Cuyler, N. Y. 
From three to four square feet of floor 
space is usually considered as about the 
needed amount for each fowl. This would 
give your poultry house a capacity of 
S00. 
W here dry mash is kept before fowls 
all the time from eight to 10 quarts of 
whole grains per 100 fowls is ordinarily 
fed daily. Many poultrymen also feed 
what moist mash the fowls will quickly 
clean up once daily in addition to the 
above, particularly toward the close of the 
laying season, when the hens need addi¬ 
tional food if they are to keep up their 
egg production. 
It is better to feed the vegetable por¬ 
tion of the ration by hand, limiting the 
amount somewhat if the fowls show a 
disposition to cloy themselves with veg¬ 
etable food to the exclusion of needed 
grain. 
Cabbages and apples do not belong in 
the category of “green stuffs”; that term 
being applied to those vegetable foods hav¬ 
ing green leaves containing ohlorophyl, 
the coloring matter of nature’s greenery. 
Sprouted oats, green rye and lawn clip¬ 
pings are classed as green stuff. Cab¬ 
bages, mangels, apples, etc., are either 
vegetables or fruit. si. B. D.

Free Range in Winter 
Is it a good thing for chickens to go 
out of doors in the Winter or is it best 
to keep them shut up? Do poultrymen 
k<‘ pp any nuilo birds with thevr laying 
liens? VS hat is the best way to sprout 
oats i I can t get any sprouts, only roots. 
Pennsylvania. 'm. r. 
It seems to make little difference 
whether hens have full liberty through 
the cold weather or are kept confined to 
suitable quarters. Flocks that are given 
free range in the Winter frequently do 
quite as well, or better, than those kept 
within doors. Probably it is best to p v”id 
changing from one practice to the other, 
however. 
There is nothing gained by keep'ng 
males in the flock, except when eggs are 
wanted for hatching. At other times the 
presence of males is a detriment, since 
fertile eggs do not keep as well as in¬ 
fertile ones. Poultrymen generally keep 
no males in any but their brooding flocks, 
and they remove these as soon as the 
hatching season is over. 
To sprout well, oats should have both 
warmth and light, in addition to moist¬ 
ure. V our oats should not only be soaked 
in warm water before being spread out 
in some light, warm place, but they should 
he kept thoroughly moistened with warm 
ivater from a snrinkling pot, this h°ing 
us'd daily. The grain should he turned 
daily with a shovel until the sprouts b->- 
come large enough to he broken off. Your 
tronfi'« probably comes from the use of 
too Jittle water. si. r p. 
Look-a-here, says tke Colonel, 
Tour Paint is Wrong— 
And then He Proved It 
^By jimminy, if he didn’t 
show me how it rubbed off 
white on his fingers. He 
told me at least three reasons 
why that paint, or.any paint 
like it wasn’t worth a hoot. 
I’d like to tell you exactly 
what he said, but it’s a bit too 
long a story to tell right now. 
But you will find it all, 
and a lot more that’s good 
to know about paint and 
painting, in The Happy Hap¬ 
pening Book. There are things 
in it also that the “women 
folks’’ ought to know and like 
to know. Send 10 cents for it.

Hens Eat Eggs 
Will you tell mo what I can do to keep 
pons from packing their eggs after they 
arc laid t They have plenty of clean 
shells and charcoal. ' a. n. g. 
Massachusetts. 
Egg-eating is a pretty hard vice to 
overcome when fowls arc closely confined. 
1 he flock should be visited at frequent 
ri town's and the eggs removed before 
they become plavthmgs for the curious. 
> n sts should he darkened and .so arranged 
tint: hens will not stand upon the edges 
juhI at tV»r contents. Sometimes 
the offend'ug birds can be caught and re¬ 
moved, and turirng the whole flock out 
, ,)f " :, l usna’ly put a stop to the 
P’-act'ce There are several other meth- 
| ods of checking egg-eating, none of which 
can be depended upon. One is to fill a 
blown eggshell with mustard, ete.. and 
leave it upon the floor. Hens like mus¬ 
tard. Another is to leave china nest 
evo-s about where the hens will trv their 
fill's upon them They are then sunnosed 
ta be discon’-lhut w } 10 evPr js., w a 
d'seouraged hen? Another is t<i file the 
fowl’s beak until it is too tender to per- 
nrt of pecking at an eggshell. All this 
hen has to do is to wait until some other 
mornl- 0 f th o flook hre . l]<s the shol , f „ r 
her Like weather signs in a drought, all 
these methods .sometimes fail, but there 
is no harm in trying any or all of them.
