The Henyard 
House for One Thousand 
Birds 
I have a brooder house 12 ft. by 16 
ft., 5*4 ft- high in back and 6% ft. in 
front, "and would like to know if this 
would accommodate 1.000 chicks. I 
raised 700 in it last year with good suc¬ 
cess. Where could I get a culling dem¬ 
onstration somewhere near where I live? 
Stalker, Pa. o. w. H. 
This brooder house would undoubtedly 
accommodate 1.000 chicks for a time, or 
until they outgrew it, but the difficulty 
would lie chiefly in trying to raise that 
many in one flock. It can be done, but 
small chicks do much better if kept in 
flocks of not to exceed 300. and it would 
pay to use several small brooders, rather 
than one large one. 
Write your State Agricultural Col¬ 
lege at State College, Pa., and ask for 
information as to where you can secure 
the benefit of a culling demonstration. If 
they give any near you, they will be 
glad to inform you of the fact. M. B. D. 
Feed for Lehgorns 
How much mash and whole grain 
equal parts by weight, wheat bran, wheat 
middlings, ground oats, cornmeal and 
meat scrap, cracked corn and wheat, 
should be fed to 100 S. C. W. Leghorn 
hens per day? Will all the sour-milk 
they can eat take the place of meat 
scrap in mash? What age should S. C. 
W. Leghorn pullets have laying mash? 
Should three-months-old pullets have 
whole grain at noon? T. m. g. 
Whallonsburg, N. Y. 
A dry mash, such as you describe, is 
usually kept before fowls all of the time 
and whole grains fed night and morn¬ 
ing. At this time of the year, 100 Leg¬ 
horns will need approximately six quarts 
of whole grain in addition to the mash 
that they eat, and egg production will be 
encouraged if a moist mash is fed at noon 
in the amount that will be cleaned up 
within a few minutes. About three quar¬ 
ters of the day’s ration of grain should 
be fed at night, the restricted morning 
feeding encouraging greater consumption 
of dry mash through the day. If all the 
milk that the hens will consume is fed. 
the meat may be nearly or quite omitted 
from the mash mixture. There is no dif¬ 
ference between a growing mash for pul¬ 
lets after they have reached an age of 
three months and a laying mash, except 
in name. Developing pullets should he 
fed more grain than mash in the Fall, 
however, in order that they may go into 
Winter quarters in good condition ready 
to use their surplus fat in egg produc¬ 
tion. Milk may displace meat in the 
mash of growing chicks, if fed in suffi¬ 
cient quantity, or all that the young 
birds will eiit. Three-months-old pul¬ 
lets may have grain at noon ; there is no 
iron clad rule for hours of feeding either 
grain or masli to growing chickens, 
though there should be some uniformity 
in one’s methods. m. b. d. 
Early Molt 
I have a flock of 50 White Leghorn 
hens, hatched May 1, 1923. They started 
laying first week in following November, 
laid very well until July 1, 1924, about 
75 per cent eggs. On July 1 I noticed 
part of the flock went into a molt; I 
would say about 15 or 20 of them went 
through a complete molt. Egg yield 
dropped to about 40 per cent. The "past 
week there are several more starting to 
molt. Can you give me the reason for 
this early molt? I have fed these hens 
during Winter months commercial scratch 
feed, morning and night, noon soaked or 
scalded oats mixed with Cornell mash; 
very little green food ; grit, oyster shells, 
fresh water and Cornell dry mash before 
them all the time. Spring and Summer 
months, two feedings a day, morning and 
night, scratch feed and soaked oats 
mixed with dry mash. Hens on free range. 
Rhinecliff, N. 1 T . j. tv. ii. 
There are many reasons for partial 
molting on the part of a flock of layers. 
Any sudden change in methods of feeding 
or care may bring this about, and July 
and August molting may be an indication 
of lack of vigor and profitable productiv¬ 
ity. If there are no other reasons to be 
found, these early molters may be culled 
as low producers. A sudden change in the 
ration is a frequent cause of at least a 
partial molt, with drop in egg produc¬ 
tion ; changing the quarters of the fowls 
might have the same effect. All such 
changes, when needed, should be made 
gradually. M. B. D. 
European Poultry Breeds 
Seen at Home 
(Continued from Page 1182) 
all one better; they lay almost chocolate 
eggs. I understand that the breed is not 
highly standardized yet. hut it has fine 
possibilities. At least it is extremely in¬ 
teresting. 
Leghorns and Wyandottes. — I 
should not do justice to the bulk of the 
English farms which I did visit unless I 
paid my respects to the many fine Leg¬ 
horn and White Wyandotte flocks ob¬ 
served in every part of the land. I was 
impi’essed with the stress which English 
poultrymen place on the size and quality 
of eggs produced. They select not only 
for quantity of eggs produced, but they 
do much selecting for size and quality of 
eggs produced. It is • a good point well 
taken. We should do that much more 
universally than we have been doing in 
the past. 
Is Breed Important? —l"es, to the av¬ 
erage poultry keeper it is important. There 
are many good commercial types and 
breeds and varieties, but every poultry- 
man should work with that one which he 
likes, which he finds economical in his 
particular kind of poultry production, for 
which there is big demand, and which 
adapts itself to a profitable niche in the 
great poultry business. It is often in¬ 
spiring just to look around us and see 
what kinds of poultry the other fellows 
are raising. To the Americans who vis¬ 
ited poultry keeping in Spain and Eng¬ 
land in this recent Spring a look-in at 
some of their breeds was truly interesting.

EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
lay in;: contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs Postoffiee in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the 
number of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1, at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets 
entered for the next year.
