the dry matter in an egg is 
mineral matter — chiefly 
lime of the shell. FOS-

carbonate of lime. 
Phosphorus is another 
important element in pro¬ 
ducing eggs and building 
bone and nerve cells. It’s 
in FOS-FOR-US too.

Connecticut Hen Ration 
\Yfiat is the formula of Storrs egg con¬ 
test feed, scratch, and how much to feed 
per 100 Leghorns, and laying mash be¬ 
fore them all the time? Are salt and 
charcoal mixed in with mash, or left in 
separate container? I am now 7 feeding 
scratch, 2 lbs. 7 :30 a. m., 2 lbs. 4 p. m., 
6 lbs. 7 :30 to 9 p. m. Lights are turned 
on 7 :30 to 9 p. m. Mash before them all 
the time; a little moist 12:30 noon. Pul¬ 
lets, February 20 hatch, are starting to 
molt. The above applies to 250 birds. 
Hempstead, N. Y. j. G. R. 
The formula of the Connecticut egg- 
laying contest, as found upon page 1337, 
is as follows: Mash—Equal parts, by 
weight, of cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat 
middlings (standard), ground oats, gluten 
feed and beef scrap, the latter of not less 
than 50 per cent protein. Grain Ration— 
Two parts cracked corn and one each of 
wheat and heavy oats. 
I believe that the mash is kept before 
the birds, and that the mixture of grains 
is hand fed according to the appetities 
displayed. 'No mention of salt and char¬ 
coal is made. It is a very common thing 
for early hatched pullets to lay and molt 
in the Fall, but the lights should help to 
carry them through the Fall and Y\ inter 
period of laying with less ■ molting than 
wcruld otherwise occur. Salt may be 
mixed with the mash in the proportion of 
not more than 1 lb. to 100 lbs., and char¬ 
coal given separately if desired. Char¬ 
coal is not a food and hens do very well 
without it. M. B. D. 
MAKE HENS LAY 
By feeding raw bone. Its egg-producing value is four 
times that of grain. Eggs more fertile, chicks more 
vigorous, broilers earlier, fowls heavier, . . 
profits larger. 
MANN’S modII 
steadily in production. You are evidently 
giving your flock good care; it does not 
seem to me that a dust bath is at all es¬ 
sential. It will not rid fowls of lice, and 
I presume that their use of it is at least 
partly inherited instinct. 
Lights should be started for the pullets 
about November 1 and continued into 
April. Some use them earlier to get 
heavier Fall production, but there are dis¬ 
advantages in this if continued laying 
through the Winter is to be expected. Use 
light enough to enable the birds to easily 
pee 'their grain; experiment will tell 
whether one is enough. A reflector of 
galvanized iron, painted white upon the 
under side, and hung above the lantern, 
will help materially in lighting the floor, 
and is easily made. Don’t forget to keep 
water before the lighted birds, and en¬ 
deavor to give them about a 13-houf day, 
whether you use evening or morning 
lights. M. B. D. 
Roup Prevention 
I note what M. B. I). has to say about 
roupy hens, page 1313. He makes the 
statement that this disease frequently re¬ 
curs in a flock. I had it early last Spring 
and I have cleaned up and disinfected, 
but I feel that possibly this is not suffi¬ 
cient to insure freedom from the disease 
after the weather begins to get bad this 
Fall. I should like to have your opinion 
on “avian bacteria.” The manufacturer 
claims that three treatments will im¬ 
munize a bird, and free it of susceptibil¬ 
ity to the disease. Have you had any ex¬ 
perience with this treatment, and, in your 
opinion, is it effective and satisfactory in 
every way? My birds are free from the 
disease at this time, and if this treatment 
were given before any symptoms appear 
would there he any danger of them con¬ 
tracting the disease later? I can sell my 
entire flock of pullets at a very satisfac¬ 
tory price now, and this is what I shall 
do should I consider the risk of keeping 
them too great. H. A. B. 
Pennsylvania. 
Reports of the value of avian baeterins 
in the prevention of roup are conflicting, 
some finding them apparently efficacious, 
others not getting as good results. It 
seems, to rne, however, that the method is 
worthy of trial where the disease is to be 
feared.' I have had no personal experi¬ 
ence with this treatment, which is not 
a difficult one to administer. Recurrence 
of roup in a flock is to be feared when 
partly cured birds are kept to act as car¬ 
riers of the roup germs until such a time 
as exposure to cold and dampness may 
lower the resistance of previously healthy 
fowls. It should not be at all impossible 
to guard against it, however, when a 
flock can be kept under healthful condi¬ 
tions. B. D.

Ant American in dear old London was 
bragging about his automobile. He ended 
his eulogy by declaring: “It runs so 
smoothly that you can’t feel it, so quietly 
you can't hear it, has such perfect igni¬ 
tion you can’t smell it, and as for speed 
—boy, you can’t see it.” “But, my word, 
old dear.” interrupted the Briton, anx¬ 
iously, “how do you know the bally thing 
is there?”—Blue Baboon. 
Care of Laying Flock 
I have 156 'White Leghorn pullets, 
hatched May 6, which are now laying 
four eggs a day; also have about 00 year¬ 
lings and four cockerels. I feed 10 quarts 
of scratch feed to the flock in the morn¬ 
ing about daylight. In the evening, about 
5 o’clock I feed 10 quarts of the scratch 
feed to the pullets and about three quarts 
to the hens. They also have the dry mash 
in hoppers before them all the while. Am 
I feeding enough of the scratch feed? It 
is 200 lbs. corn to 200 lbs. wheat. Will 
have barley for them soon. The pullets 
are looking fine, and most of them seem 
to be fully developed. I keep them shut 
up. They also have shells and green feed, 
and plenty of water. House was thor¬ 
oughly cleaned and whitewashed and all 
pullet's and hens gone over with sodium 
fluoride. Would you advise having a dust 
bath for them? We have sawdust on the 
floor and they dust in that. Are they 
lousy -when they dust? When would you 
advise using the lights on the pullets? 
We will use two gas lanterns, or will one 
be enough ? Their house is 20 ft. wide 
and about 28 ft. long. MRS. M. A. R. 
Boonville, N. Y. 
Your flock may readily clean up a little 
more scratch grain ; from now on, about 
eight quarts per day for each 100 birds. 
When laying well they may need a little 
more but, if any is left in the litter, the 
amount should be reduced. About three 
parts of whole grain to two parts of 
mash, by weight, is considered a good 
proportion. Pullets hatched May 6 should 
be beginning to lay now. Those of mine 
hatched April 1 began laying during the 
first week of September and increased
