THE  HENYARD 
Desirable  Grain  Rations 
I  have  started  a  flock  of  Rhode  Island 
Red  and  Leghorn  chickens.  What  is  the 
amount  of  scratch  feed  and  mash  that  I 
should  feed  per  hen  per  day?  What 
proportion  of  different  grains  should  I 
use  in  the  mixture?  E.  E.  M. 
Pennsylvania. 
The  scratch  feed  should  be  about  one- 
half  cracked  corn  and  the  rest  a  mixture 
of  such  grains  as  wheat,  barley,  oats  and 
buckwheat.  It  is  not  necessary  to  use 
any  one  or  two  particular  kinds  of  grain 
in  this.  A  good  standard  mash  for  pul¬ 
lets  and  laying  hens  may  be  made  of 
equal  parts  by  weight  of  cornmeal. 
ground  oats,  wheat  bran,  middlings  and 
beef  scrap.  The  mash  is  best  kept  before 
the  fowls  (dry)  all  of  the  time,  and  the 
scratch  grain  fed  night  and  morning  in 
the  litter.  The  fowls  will  eat  from  eight 
to  10  quarts  of  scratch  grain  daily  for 
each  100  birds,  and  should  consume  an 
equal  amount  of  mash,  dry.  If  fed  too 
much  grain  they  will  neglect  the  mash, 
to  the  detriment  of  egg  production.  Give 
a  light  feeding  of  the  grain  in  the  morn¬ 
ing  and  all  that  the  flock  will  clean  up 
the  last  thing  at  night.  Keep  water  and 
grit  constantly  before  them.  If  you  have 
skim-milk  available,  it  may  replace  the 
meat  in  the  mash,  provided  that  the  hens 
have  all  that  they  will  consume.  When 
laying  heavily  fowls  will  consume  more 
mash  than  at  other  times,  but  the  amount 
that  they  will  eat  may  be  regulated  to  a 
large  extent  by  the  amount  of  the  more 
palatable  whole  grain  fed.  In  general, 
give  the  flock  all  that  it  will  consume 
daily  without  waste,  varying  the  quantity 
from  time  to  time,  as  (he  appetites  of 
the  fowls  vary.  The  above  directions 
may  serve  as  a  general  rule,  from  which 
the  feeder  may  vary  as  conditions  war¬ 
rant.  D’ 
Ailing  Hens 
I  have  a  flock  of  325  hens ;  four  of 
them  are  sick.  They  look  healthy  and 
are  very  fat,  but  they  are  so  weak  they 
can  hardly  walk.  They  sometimes  fall 
over  sidewise  or  forward.  The  two  that 
have  been  sick  the  longest  cannot  use 
their  feet  at  all  now ;  they  lie  on  then- 
sides  and  cannot  walK,  and  will  not  eat. 
I  have  been  feeding  a  mash  for  over  a 
year  composed  of  30  lbs.  of  cornmeal.  Id 
lbs.  wheat  bran,  15  lbs.  middlings,  15  lbs. 
meat  scraps  (good  grade),  and  2  lbs. 
charcoal.  Feed  in  hoppers  open  at  all 
times.  The  scratch  grain  is  mixed  as 
follows :  2  lbs.  cracked  corn,  1  lb.  wheat 
and  1  lb.  oats.  Am  feeding  12  lbs.  of 
this  to  evei-v  100  hens  per  day.  It  is  fed 
in  deep  litter.  They  have  plenty  of  grit, 
oyster  shells  and  fresh  water.  Can  you 
tell  me  the  trouble  and  give  me  a  rem¬ 
edy?  11  ■ 
Carbondale,  Ill. 
Your  mash  would  be  improved  by  sub- 
:ituting  15  lbs.  of  ground  oats  for  a  like 
mount  of  the  cornmeal  in  it.  I  have  no 
oubt  that  your  fowls  are  very  fat.  for 
lev  are  getting  a  large  proportion  of 
)rn  in  their  ration.  If  you  were  to  open 
ue  of  the  sick  ones,  you  would  probably 
nd  an  enlarged  liver  and  other  evi- 
enees  of  digestive  ailments.  Heavily 
?d  and  closely  confined  fowls  cannot 
scape  some  of  these  troubles,  soon  or 
ite  Give  the  sick  fowls  each  a  one-half 
rain  calomel  tablet,  to  be  procured  of 
ny  phvsician  or  druggist,  and  follow  it 
i  ‘a  few  hours  with  a  teaspoon  of  salts 
issolved  in  a  little  water  and  mixed 
-ith  a  mash  meal.  Then  feed  lightly  foi 
time.  If  the  hen  does  not  improve  un- 
Winter  Ration  for  Layers 
I  have  about  60  hens.  Black  Leghorns. 
Thev  have  laid  heavily  all  Summer.  Some 
of  them  started  to  molt  in  August,  and 
are  still  without  feathers;  combs  are 
white,  and  the  liens  go  about  in  a  listless 
sort  of  way.  Do  they  need  a  tonic?  It 
so,  what  shall  I  give  them?  I  feed  oats, 
corn  and  buckwheat,  equal  parts,  in  the 
morning,  and  whole  corn  for  evening.  I 
have  been  giving  them  a  dry  mash  ot 
ground  oats,  ground  corn,  wheat  mid¬ 
dlings  and  wheat  bran,  equal  parts. 
Would  you  advise  the  same  formula  with 
meat  scraps  added  for  the  Winter?  My 
chickens  have  had  free  range  all  Summer, 
so  I  withheld  the  meat  scraps. 
Sharon.  N.  Y.  mrs.  j.  c.  m. 
Yes  the  meat  scrap  should  be  added  to 
your  mash  for  both  Winter  and  Summer 
"feeding,  unless  vou  have  all  the  skim-milk 
that  the  hens  will  consume.  Laying  fowls 
will  not  find  animal  food  enough  on  range 
for  highest  production,  even  in  the  Sum¬ 
mertime.  The  meat  food  is  also  needed 
when  fowls  are  molting,  and  the  addition 
of  this  to  your  mash  will  be  all  the  tonic 
that  your  flock  requires.  If  you  feed  the 
mash  dry.  keep  it  before  the  fowls  all  the 
time  and  feed  your  mixed  grains  night 
and  morning,  giving  a  rather  light  feed¬ 
ing  of  grain  in  the  morning  and  all  that 
the  hens  will  consume  before  going  to 
roost  at  night.  They  will  probably  eat 
about  6  qts.  of  whole  grain  in  addition  to 
the  dry  mash  daily.  If  you  prefer  to 
feed  a  moist  mash  at  noon,  give  the  hens 
all  that  they  will  clean  up  quickly,  and 
make  it  of  a  crumbly  consistency  with 
skim-milk  or  water.  M.  B.  D.
