II A STEAM-COOKED 
irU CHICK FEED 
is a scientific combination of 
sweet, wholesome grains. These 
grains are cracked to pin-point 
fineness and steam-cooked by 
our exclusive process. Steam¬ 
cooking makes this feed di¬ 
gestible for the feeblest chick. 
They get the full benefit of the 
nourishment in the grains.

1 have used H-O STL A M-COOKED 
CHICK FEED f rr young chicks for 
several years with the best possible 
results. 
Last season I raised about 2,000 
chicks. I had broilers weighing 
two pounds each when two months 
old, and red pullets were laying 
at five months old. At present, 
November 29, we are getting 
nearly 50% egg production from 
the pullets. I give credit to H-O 
STEAM-COOKED CHICK FEED 
in getting them started right.

THE HENYARD 
Remarkable Results from Artificial 
Lighting 
Across the common from me lives a 
young man who keeps about 500 White 
Leghorns; 400 pullets hatched in March 
began laying in August, and laid well 
until December, when the number of eggs 
dropped to less than 100 a day, and a 
neck molt began. He was feeding freeh 
meat (horse meat), with the usual mash 
and grains. He had been putting in an 
electric lighting plant for his house and 
the poultry. Some of the hens would 
stay and pick at that meat when it was 
too dark for them to see. Driving them 
away from the meat until they had lost 
sense of direction, they would then go 
toward the roosts, the sense of hearing 
showing them where the other birds were. 
He put on the electric light, and in two 
weeks the egg production had doubled. 
He ran the light, nights only; not in the 
morning. The light was run until 10, 
after a while until 11, and for a time 
until midnight. In three weeks from the 
time the light was put in the actual in¬ 
crease was 200 eggs a day from the 400 
pullets, and a special pen of 100 selected 
pullets was yielding SO per cent. That 
pullets was yielding 80 per cent. 
Some singular things developed in the 
feeding. It was found that it Avould not 
do to feed the hard grains until you were 
ready for them to go to roost. When 
they had filled their crops with the hard 
grains they were ready to go on the roosts, 
but by withholding that they could be 
kept on the ground, or floor, picking at 
the meat, eating dry mash, scratching for 
grains,* until midnight. The molting 
stopped. Naturally one would think that 
with this excessive egg production all 
Winter the fertility of the eggs in Spring 
would he low, hut the fact is that it is 
not. One hundred and sixty-two eggs 
from that pen of 100 pullets that began 
laying last August tested out four infer¬ 
tile and five dead germs, at the tenth day 
after they were put in the incubator. 
Some of his hens are seven years old, 
and still profitable. One hen, his 263-egg 
hen, as he calls her, and from which most 
of his males are bred, has proved exceed¬ 
ingly fertile. 
Howard says: “When I put 17 of her 
eggs in an incubator, I not only expect 
to get 17 chicks, but I get them every 
time. Seventeen is the most I can set 
of her eggs. The first egg will then be 
18 or 20 days old, but by carefully turn¬ 
ing them every day and keeping them in 
a cool place, every egg hatches, and the 
chick lives.” 
Even this astonishing record as to egg 
production was beaten by one of the 
neighbors, but it was by a‘small flock of 
18 R. I. Reds. He put lanterns in his 
henhouse, and lighted both ends of the day. 
He reached a production of 16 eggs on 
several occasions from the 18 birds. That 
is close to 00 per cent. I have a letter 
from Tom Barron, in which he says he 
is coming over here this year, and will 
surely come and see me. His letter does 
not say anything about artificial lighting 
of poultry houses. geo. a. cosgrove. 
Thin-shelled Eggs; Ration for Ducks 
I have 20 S. C. R. I. It. pullets be¬ 
tween eight and 10 months old ; five are 
laying. When they began to lay the 
shells of these eggs were strong. Now 
they are weaker, and one pullet lays them 
without shells. I feed two quarts of 
scratch grain daily (several kinds of grain 
mixed). I boil potatoes, turnips, carrots, 
cabbage, drain the water off, mix enough 
mash with it to. make it dry and crumbly. 
This they have in a hopper before them at 
all times. The mash is composed of equal 
parts in weight of cornmeal, ground oats, 
wheat middlings, wheat bran and beef 
scrap. The scratch grain, grit and shells 
are thrown into the litter of straw two 
inches deep to keep them.busy. I have 
not let them out in the run since Decem¬ 
ber 1 ; have a fairly warm house for them. 
Will you advise we what to do to get 
hard shells, and can I give them better 
rations? Also how should I feed and care 
for laying ducks? Can they be let in the 
run outside all Winter during day? 
Connecticut. j. h. c. 
These pullets are evidently not getting 
enough shall-making material in their ra¬ 
tion, though sometimes fowls lay soft- 
shelled eggs while having oyster shell, 
etc., constantly before them. The boiled 
vegetables used are probably eaten in too 
large a proportion, displacing the grain 
needed. By cutting out the vegetables, 
keeping the oyster shell constantly be¬ 
fore the pullets in open box or hopper 
and giving a little clover hay daily, if you 
have it, you will probably correct the con¬ 
dition complained of. 
Rankin’s “Duck Culture” gives the fol¬ 
lowing formula for a ration for laying 
ducks: Equal parts of wheat bran "and 
cornmeal. to which is added one-tenth 
part beef scrap, one-fifth part low grade 
flour (red dog), one-tenth part boiled po¬ 
tatoes or turnips and 15 pounds to the 
hundred of clover rowen. green rye or 
cabbage, chopped fine. Three pounds of 
grit to the hundred are also added. I 
have had no experience with ducks that 
will enable me to advise as to letting 
them run during the cold weather, but 
such freedom would not injure hens, un¬ 
less they were unaccustomed to it, and I 
presume that mature ducks are at least 
equally hardy. M. b. d.
