Egg-eating  Hens 
I  have  about  112  chickens,  Black  Mi¬ 
norcas,  and  some  other  mixed  breeds. 
They  do  not  seem  to  lay  as  well  as  they 
did  in  the  colder  weather;  49  eggs  was 
the  highest.  They  always  have  plenty  of 
charcoal,  grit  and  oyster  shells.  They 
get  12  qts.  of  grain.  Now  they  have 
started  to  eat  the  eggs.  What  can  I  do 
for  them?  E.  B.  B. 
Pennsylvania. 
If  you  can  turn  these  fowls  loose  and 
give  them  the  run  of  the  premises,  1 
think  that  you  will  succeed  in  checking 
their  habit  of  eating  the  eggs  laid.  It  is 
a  difficult  thing  to  control  when  fowls 
are  confined.  Even  though  they  get  all 
the  food  that  they  want,  they  will  eat 
any  soft-shelled  eggs,  and  very  often 
will  break  and  eat  those  with  the  strong¬ 
est  shells.  If  you  are  feeding  12  qts.  of 
grain  at  night  to  112  hens,  you  are  rather 
overdoing  the  matter.  Give  them  a  light 
feeding  in  the  morning,  perhaps  3  qts., 
keep  the  mash  before  them  during  the 
day.  and  give  what  grain  thev  will  clean 
up  beiore  going  to  roost  at  night.

Wood  Ashes  for  Laying  Hens 
Are  wood  ashes  of  any  medicinal  value 
to  laying  hens?  I  have  been  told  they 
were  good  to  relieve  the  fowls  of  intes¬ 
tinal  worms.  W.  G.  L. 
Bridgeton,  N.  J. 
I  do  not  know  of  any  value  from  a 
medicinal  standpoint  that  wood  ashes 
have.  Charcoal  is  fed  by  many  poultry- 
men  as  a  sort  of  a — well,  as  a  sort  of  in¬ 
testinal  sweetener,  I  guess.  I  am  not 
sure  what  value  it  has,  but  its  reputation 
is  good,  and  a  ration  that  did  not  contain 
charcoal  would  be  hopelessly  unorthodox. 
From  the  fact  that  hens  like  it,  I  judge 
tiiat  it  does  perform  some  good  office,  and 
it  certainly  is  harmless — more  than  can 
be  said  of  many  things  that  are  forced 
down  the  throats  of  protesting,  but  help¬ 
less,  dumb  animals.  Most  wood  ashes 
contain  more  or  less  charcoal,  and  prob¬ 
ably  owe  what  value  they  may  have  to 
this.  I  do  not  think  that  they  would 
have  any  effect  upon  intestinal  worms. 
M.  B.  D. 
Temperature  of  Incubator 
Does  the  temperature  of  a  hen  increase 
toward  the  end  of  the  21  days?  Why  does 
an  incubator  have  to  be  run  from  102  at 
the  first  start  to  about  104  in  the  last 
part?  Why  not*  run  it  at  103  all  the 
time?  Which  would  you  prefer,  a  dry 
dirt  floor  or  dry  sand  floor?  c.  F. 
South  Shaftsbury,  Vt. 
The  body  temperature  of  a  hen  is  nor¬ 
mally  about  105;  in  contrast  to  the  hu¬ 
man  body  temperature  of  98.6.  It  has 
been  found  to  fluctuate,  within  limits  of 
about  one  degree,  while  the  hen  is  sit¬ 
ting,  but  it  does  not  rise  constantly  during 
the  incubation  period.  Fertile  eggs  will 
begin  development  at  as  low  a  tempera¬ 
ture  as  70,  but  do  not,  develop  normally 
toward  hatching  until  temperatures  of 
from  101  to  103  are  reached.  Temporary 
tomperatui’es  as  low  as  50  and  as  high  as 
110  have  been  reached  without  entirely 
destroying  the  developing  embryos,  but 
a  range  of  from  101  to  103  has  been  found 
best.  An  incubator  does  not  have  to 
run  at  102  at  first,  with  gradually  in¬ 
creasing  temperatures  until  103  is  reached. 
It  may  run  successfully  within  quite  wide 
variations,  but  best  results  have  been 
produced  when  a  proper  and  slightly  in¬ 
creasing  temperature  has  been  main¬ 
tained.  Why  these  temperatures  are  best 
I  do  not  know.  It  must  be  remembered 
that  a  single  thermometer  cannot  exactly 
register  the  temperatures  in  all  parts  of 
the  machine ;  quite  wide  variations  would 
be  found  if  several  thermometers  were 
used  and  placed  in  different  parts. of  the 
tray.  The  makers  of  the  machine  used 
have  presumably  determined  by  experi¬ 
ment  what  temperature  the  thermometer 
used  in  their  machine  should  be  kept  at 
for  best  results,  and  their  directions 
should  be  followed.  jr.  b.  d. 
Labor-saving  Henhouse 
I  have  been  in  the  poultry  business 
for  about  10  years  in  Massachusetts,  and 
am  starting  in  on  my  own  little  farm 
here  in  Virginia.  I  contemplate  building 
a  new  laying-house,  and  will  ask  you  to 
advise  me  if  there  are  any  flaws  in  my 
ideas  of  construction.  I  will  house  my 
birds  in  flocks  of  approximately  100  to 
the  pen.  I  will  have  10  pens,  and  plan 
to  make  my  house  about  20  ft.  deep  and 
the  proper  length  to  allow  plenty  of  room 
for  each  flock.  Instead  of  the  usual  type 
of  house,  I  am  planning  to  build  a  house 
with  a  floor  above.  This  floor  above 
would  enable  me  to  store  all  grain  and 
litter,  etc.,  and  by  means  of  it  I  could 
have  tubes  connected  with  dry  mash 
hoppers  and  mix  my  mash  upstairs,  and 
also  have  tubes  with  cut-offs  so  that  I 
could  feed  the  grain  feed  with  no  lugging 
of  grain  from  one  pen  to  another.  This 
system  also  would  enable  one  to  handle 
shells,  grit  and  everything  without  much 
labor.  In  the  Fall  one  could  have  a 
general  stocking  up  of  every  necessity 
and  have  this  material  put  in  by  means 
of  an  end  door  above.  I  also  plan  to 
install  a  car.  the  same  as  is  used  in  dairy 
barns,  on  a  track,  and  by  having  doors 
that,  swing  both  ways  on  a  spring  I  could 
use  this  carrier  for  cleaning  off  the  roosts 
and  go  from  one  pen  to  another  and  clean 
off  the  droppings  very  simply.  I  would 
have  a  wagon  or  receptacle  at  the  end 
of  the  house  so  I  could  dump  easily.  My 
roof  will  be  galvanized  iron.  V  crimp. 
It  would  not  be  too  hot  with  a  wooden 
floor  above  the  birds,  which  my  second 
story  would  provide.  I  expect  to  allow 
plenty  of  head  room  on  both  the  first  and 
second  floors.  I  plan  to  make  'house 
double  pitch.  Please  criticise,  this  plan 
of  construction  and  make  any  suggestions 
that  you  possibly  can.  Also  give  me  your 
idea  of  proper  measurements,  but  most  of 
all  please  pick  out  any  flaws  in  this  idea 
of  construction,  as  this  house  will  mean 
an  outlay  of  considerable  proportions. 
Staunton,  Va.  W.  c.  a. 
Your  plan  looks  very  attractive  to  me, 
and  I  have  no  criticism  to  offer.  Most 
poultrymen  do  not  care  to  keep  their 
flocks  in  as  small  units  as  100  fowls  each, 
however,  considering  that  any  advantage 
gained  is  more  than  offset  by  increased 
labor  expense.  Personally,  I  should  pre¬ 
fer  four  flocks  of  250  each  to  10  of  100. 
Windows  need  to  extend  to  S  ft.  in  height 
above  the  floor  to  permit  the  Winter  sun 
to  penetrate  nearly  to  the  rear  of  a  20-ft. 
building.  A  roof  of  gable  type,  with 
rafters  of  equal  span,  would  be  quite  as 
suitable  as  the  one  you  plan.  The  lower 
floor  should  be  of  concrete  and  the  upper 
one  of  matched  stuff.  Your  plan  for  stor¬ 
ing  feed  should  prove  very  convenient, 
and  you  probably  understand  the  danger 
from  heating  when  large  quantities  of 
meal,  grain,  etc.,  are  kep.t.  in  bins,  partie- 
ularly  in  the  .Spring.  You  should  have 
room  for  shoveling  over  the  contents  of 
any  bin  that  showed  signs  of  heating. 
Your  plan  for  a  track  carrier  is  good. 
In  California  some  large  poultry  plants 
use  this  carrier  for  holding  an  egg  case 
and  transfer  the  eggs  from  the  nests  di¬ 
rectly  to  the  case,  thus  avoiding  any  fur¬ 
ther  handling.  If  you  could  pipe  water 
directly  from  a  spring  into  your  building, 
you  would  have  the  labor  item  reduced  to 
about  its  lowest  proportions.  M.  b.  d.
