Production in Molting Period 
When the hens molt in Fall is there a 
way to keep up production during the 
molt? When used continually what ef¬ 
fect does commercial laying mashes have 
upon the hens? Will they increase the 
egg yield more than the Cornell mash? 
Is lime a good thing to use on the drop¬ 
ping boards? Is it a good plan to use 
pullets as breeders? w. l. s. 
Ohio. 
With few exceptions, hens will not lay 
and molt at the same time, but egg pro¬ 
duction may be encouraged in late Sum¬ 
mer by feeding a little moist mash once 
daily, in addition to that before the fowls 
dry. This induces greater mash consump¬ 
tion, a need at that time. When the 
actual molt has begun, the bird needs all 
the food eaten for reproduction of 
plumage and has little or none to spare 
for the making of eggs. 
A commercial mash may equal one that 
is home mixed, but I do not know how it 
can excel it in any way or how it can 
have any different effect. As a matter of 
fact, a commercial mash may or may not 
be equal to a home mixed one, all de¬ 
pends upon the nature and quality of the 
ingredients used. There is no wizardy 
in foods for fowls, though there is a 
great deal in words. 
Lime, mixed with poultry droppings 
anywhere, tends to set free one of the 
most valuable plant foods (nitrogen), 
permitting it to escape in the form of 
ammonia. Therefore, it is not a good 
application to droppings boards, unless 
used in such comparatively inert forms 
as sulphate of lime (land plaster). 
A good pullet is better than a poor hen, 
but older fowls are superior to pullets as 
breeders, everything else being equal. 
M. B. D. 
Buttermilk and Growing Mash 
Would you give a formula of the differ¬ 
ent ingredients that buttermilk mash con¬ 
tains for baby chick starter, and for 
growing mash, as well? a. w. p. 
Roslyn, N. Y. 
A buttermilk mash for young chicks is 
one that contains buttermilk as one of its 
ingredients. There is no standard for¬ 
mula ; a commercial manufacturer or 
anyone else may make it up as he likes. 
Here is a rather complicated formula, 
published by the G. L. F. Exchange: 
Wheat bran, 550 lbs.; flour middlings, 
300 lbs.; cornmeal, 350 lbs.; hominy, 290 
lbs.; meat scrap, 150 lbs. (this should be 
sifted for chicks under five weeks old) ; 
dried milk. 150 lbs.; dried buttermilk, 
100 lbs.; bonemeal, 100 lbs.; salt, 10 lbs. 
I prefer the more simple mixtures, such 
as two parts of wheat bran and one part 
each of cornmeal or hominy, ground oats, 
wheat middlings, and beef scrap, sifting 
the hulls and coarser parts of the ground 
oats and beef scrap out when feeding to 
chicks under a month to six weeks old. A 
part of the beef scrap may be replaced by 
either dried milk or dried buttermilk, but 
I should not replace the whole of it, 
neither should I make any distinction 
between chick starter and chick grower. 
M. B. D. 
Paralyzed Pullets 
I have a small flock of good R. I. Reds. 
During the past month I have lost two of 
my best pullets by their legs becoming 
paralyzed. Please advise the cause of 
this, and if there is any help for it. 
Stuyvesant, N. Y. s. J. e. 
I don’t know the cause, but wish I did, 
for that, and a cure, are asked for many 
times in the course-of a year. It may be 
intestinal worms, it may be gout from 
high feeding, it may be something similar 
to infantile paralysis in children, and it 
may be none of these. I have never 
found any authority willing to commit 
himself upon the subject. At any rate, 
try giving any bird showing this loss of 
use of the legs a good physic. One or 
two teaspoonfuls of castor oil. poured 
down the inside of the bird’s neck, or a 
small teaspoonful of Epsom salts dis¬ 
solved in a little water and administered 
in the same way, are good for this pur¬ 
pose. If worms are suspected, give a 
teaspoonful of spirits of turpentine a few 
hours before giving the physic. This may 
be mixed with a little oil to make it less 
disagreeable to the bird. Then remove 
the pullets from the flock, feed lightly, 
using plenty of green stuff in the ration, 
and hope for the best. m. b. d.
