The Famous Picturesque Chicks 
Mr farm being one of the oldest poultry farms in the state of New Jersey, gives the public the oppor¬ 
tunity to buy baby chicks that are from breeding flocks, that have taken professional men years in 
producing, both for egg production and exhibition purposes. I have a number ot Jersey Black Giants, 
that have been culled by men from our New Jersey Experimental Station for certification. This gives 
you an opportSnfly to slcure either eggs or chicks from the best J. B. Giants to be had. We are equally 
as careful in culling our flocks from all breeds as we are with our J. B. Giants.

Keeping Eggs in Water Glass 
Questions about how to use water glass 
are beginning to come. People are ap¬ 
parently beginning early to put down 
their supply of eggs. It is a simple op¬ 
eration when properly handled. The way 
we do it is to take a stone crock or 
wooden tub bather than a metal con¬ 
tainer. Fresh clean eggs are selected, 
and if possible have them infertile. It is 
better to put them down the day they 
are laid if possible. The solution is made 
by dissolving one part of water glass in 
nine parts of water. It is better to boil 
the water thoroughly before using. The 
glass and water will mix readily. Pack 
the eggs gently into the crock or tub, be¬ 
ing careful not to crack them, then pour 
in the solution so that it will fully cover 
the eggs. It is better to have an inch of 
the solution above the eggs. Then set 
the package away in as cool a place as 
possible in the shadow, out of the sun¬ 
light. Watch the package and if the so¬ 
lution evaporates, pour in more of it, so 
as to keep the eggs completely covered. 
We have been able to keep eggs six 
months or more in this way, and while, 
of course, they are not equal to fresh 
eggs, for cooking purposes they answer 
verv well. Of course, such eggs should 
never be offered for sale without telling 
the customer just what they are. 
Improving a Ration 
I am feeding my 110 White Leghorn 
hens a drv mash made of 150 lbs. bran, 
200 lbs. middlings, 200 lbs. yellow corn- 
iueal and 100 lbs. fish meal (55 to 60 per 
cent protein). Just before going to roost 
thev get their grain, all the shelled corn 
they will eat. Will you criticise this ra¬ 
tion and let me know how it should be 
changed? If I am unable to procure any 
additional ingredients, does this ration 
have too much animal protein (fish 
meal)? What is the drawback to corn as 
the only grain fed? Would it pay to feed 
wheat at $1.25 per bushel with the corn? 
Berlin, Md. v. R. s. 
No; your mash contains rather less ani¬ 
mal protein than is usually fed by profes¬ 
sional poultrymen. One-sixth to one-fifth 
part, by weight, is ordinarily fed. 1 
think that at least half of your fish scrap 
might, perhaps, be replaced by beef scrap 
to advantage. If available, the addition 
of ground oats would improve the mash. 
A good formula is equal parts, by weight, 
of cornmeal, ground oats, wheat middlings, 
bran and beef scrap. Another much 
used adds one part of gluten feed to the 
above. It is good practice to feed all the 
shelled corn that tile fowls will eat before 
going to roost. The only objection to 
corn alone as scratch feed is the lack of 
variety, but in my opinion this need for 
variety, when a mixture of grains is 
given in the mash, is chiefly theoretical. 
Many flocks certainly do well on corn 
alone as scratch food. There are some 
advantages in feeding it cracked during 
the day, but whole corn at night will not 
be as quickly digested as cracked corn 
and will not leave the bird’s digestive or¬ 
gans empty for so long a period during 
a longer Winter night. m. b. d.

Comparing Milk With Meat Scrap 
How much sour milk would equal the 
same amount of protein as in 100 lbs. 
meat scrap? Would it be advisable to 
feed only one or the other? Where feed¬ 
ing 100 lbs. meat scrap to 400 lbs. feeed. 
is it necessary to feed any sour milk? 
We are feeding 3 qts. of it in wet mash 
at noon to 120 hens; meat scrap, 55 
per cent. w. j. J. 
Sandusky, N. Y. 
Skim-milk contains about 3.5 lbs. of 
digestible protein in 100 lbs.; 55 per cent 
meat scrap contains 55 lbs. It is not 
necessary to feed skim-milk when one- 
fifth of the mash is composed of meat 
scrap, but I should prefer some skim- 
milk and less meat scrap if I could get 
the former. Sour skim-milk contains 
lactic acid, not. found in meat scrap, and 
has other desirable qualities peculiar t-o 
milk. If fowls have all the skim-milk 
that they will consume, about 12 to 14 
qts. daily per 100 birds, it is not neces¬ 
sary to use meat scrap in the ration.

New Plan for Hen Keeping 
Here is a new idea about keeping hens 
in North Carolina : As a matter of fact, 
the only way I ever made a penny out of 
poultry was in buying and selling chick¬ 
ens and eggs, eold-storaging eggs by hav¬ 
ing stock in a cold storage plant, and at 
this time of year having about 2,000 hens 
of the farmers and dealers and putting 
them on good feed and runs, and keeping 
tab on their egg production. If after two 
weeks a hen was not “laying fer me” she 
was immediately cooped and returned to 
the dealer’s truck from whence she came 
Soon as they quit laying, along about 
May and June, in the coop they go. until 
finally all are back in the. channels ^of 
trade. This is on the principle that Na¬ 
ture bids hens lay in the Spring. Buy at 
market and sell at market. Close out and 
take a vacation; J. M.F.
