THE HENYARD 
Poor Laying Minorcas 
I have about 190 unculled S. C. Black 
Minorca pullets, nine months old. Every 
morning they have a little wheat in lit¬ 
ter, and at 3 :30 p. m. as much as they 
will eat of wheat. During the day they 
eat about eight quarts of the following 
mash, by measure: Shredded wheat, two 
parts; wheat bran, one part; cornmeal, 
one part; fine beef scrap, one part; dried 
blood, one-third part. This mash is scald¬ 
ed and allowed to cool. The shredded 
wheat is the cereal food which you buy in 
biscuit form, and is the broken biscuits, 
ground. I get this from the factory. 
They have green feed, grit, oyster shell, 
charcoal and pure water with the chill 
off. They are well housed and in good 
condition, free from lice and mites. The 
majority are fully matured and are mis¬ 
taken by some for old hens. A few are 
culls. During December I got an aver¬ 
age egg yield of 24 per cent. Last Win¬ 
ter in the same building my Light Brah¬ 
mas laid 60 per cent. The Minorcas are 
down now to 20 per cent. When these 
pullets were about two months old the 
brooder house was struck by lightning 
and seven pullets were killed. The rest 
were apparently uninjured. It was a par¬ 
ticularly heavy charge. Do you think 
this would affect their laying now? 
Queenston, Ontario. P. o. A. 
I do not know what effect such a shock 
from an electric bolt might have upon 
growing pullets, but, if the chickens con¬ 
tinued to grow and thrive, I should not 
expect to find any evil consequences de¬ 
veloping later. There is much about elec¬ 
tricity that we do not know, so, of course, 
we attribute all sorts of_ mysterious prop¬ 
erties to it; maybe it boosted those 
youngsters along and that is what ac¬ 
counts, for their present development. 
Perhaps your Minorcas wouldn’t lay as 
well as your previous flock of Brahmas 
under any circumstances, particularly, in 
cold weather; at any rate, they are going 
a good while without food, from 3 :30 p. 
m. until the next morning. I would sug¬ 
gest the addition of corn to their ration, 
giving them a full feed just before dark, 
if you don’t care to use artificial lighting 
for an evening lunch. Whole corn will 
“stay by” longer than cracked corn, and 
is probably a better food than wheat 
alone. It is the avoidance of that long 
fast in the Winter night, you know, that 
gives artificial lighting its value in egg 
production. M. B. D. 
Plans for Henhouse 
I am intending to build a henhouse 
40x16 ft., 7 ft. front, 5 ft. back; tongue 
and groove board; stone foundation and 
cement floor, having six glass windows 
facing south. Windows will be 2 ft. 4% 
in. by 3 ft. 11 in. Sills and plates will be 
2x4 ‘in. scantling. Could you suggest a 
better plan? p. p* 
Jewett City, Conn. 
I should prefer a building more nearly 
square, for economy in materials and 
greater comfort of the fowls. A building 
20x32 ft. would give you the same floor 
space, require less lumber in the walls 
and make it possible for the occupants to 
roost farther from the windows, necessar¬ 
ily kept open for ventilation. Rafters in 
such a building, if of light timbers, would 
require a center support of posts. Front 
walls should be at least 8 ft. in height, 
and rear 5 ft. Your other specifications 
are good. M. b. d.

Ailing Turkeys 
We in this neighborhood would like to 
know what is the matter with our tur¬ 
keys. Is it contagious, will it follow a 
flock that has been affected the next year? 
Of course we do not keep over any birds 
that have had the disease. What treat¬ 
ment would you advise? The affected 
birds start with a swelling under the 
eyes, the nose fills and scabs over. When 
scab is removed a clear fluid like the 
white of ■ air egg*- comes out and scale 
comes again and as they get worse the 
swelling becomes large and fills with the 
clear liquid or else a similar thick fluid, 
but real bloody. The birds do not droop 
or lose their appetite, but do not grow or 
put on flesh, and none of jhem die. no 
matter how bad they get. Some of them 
have been so bad it was hard for them to 
see to eat. What treatment would you 
advise? MRS. s. D. P. 
New York. 
Turkeys are subject to roup and chick¬ 
en pox, these showing symptoms very 
much like those that you describe. Nos¬ 
trils run and scab forms about the face, 
these being filled, first with clear fluid, 
then with discolored fluid that dries down 
into a scab. If mild, the disease may not 
kill, but affected fowls cannot be expected 
to thrive. The disease is contagious and 
probably may be carried over from one 
season to the next in uncured fowls. The 
scabs may be softened and removed and 
the sore places painted with tincture of 
iodine, this usually being sufficient to rid 
the fowls of the pox scabs. Only healthy, 
vigorous birds should be kept for the next 
season’s breeders, those that have had 
roup, even in a mild form, having lost 
something of the vitality so necessary in 
turkeys if they are to resist the diseases 
to which they are so subject. M. b. d.
