CHICKEN CHEMISTRY

~ Il
To MAKE hens LAY PERpsrr
Smile not, gentle reader, attic g.
of this article. If Liebig could W.. -
" Animal Chemistry certainly I NAV
privileged in writing on the sBb;-.
9 Hen Chemistry" 1t is very de-,
to have plenty of eggs at all sea.o,-
the year; and it IS well known ths,1
lay but very few eggs at certain sea-.
particularly in winter, when they air..
entirely cease laying. 1t is also kpo-
that eggs are composed of certain
gradients, into which lime, sulphur ;
enter, the shell containing a larpe
portion of lime. Now hens, in oe3,.,
lay, must have access TO all the spbs,
ees containing these ingredients. =,
where they can, instinct viii teach H..
to make the selection that is neee,,..
Hence some writer on the subiee, J,
marks, that hen roosts should be- en-
Piled with ashes, gravel, and poUD5.l
shells, especially in winter, when 4
hens cannot procure these articles Oh.
where" to supply these materials and 81
them in digesting their food. Blu, !,
cause them to lay they must not only b
supplied with these, bot something eli.
is necessary. Fresh meat, cut Up fnsl,
has been recommended, but this is ra
easily procured at all times and place,
There is an article, however, which ca,
always be had, and that is cayenne. q,
red pepper. If they are fed PLENTIFUL
with grain, and occasionally with com.
meal dough with either Of these mixed
with it, constant supply Of eggs may Be
certainly calculated upon, provided Tia.
the hens can have a plenty of ashes
gravel, &c. The best plan is to have
strong decoction of red pepper, made BY
boiling it in water; and then boil ths
corn to be fed to them in this. Thi
possesses the double advantage of sof
ening the corn for them-a great advaT
tage in feeding corn to any kind of stoc
or fowls-and impregnating it with th
: pepper, besides saving the trouble of dry
ing the pepper, and mixing it with tn,
dough. The family of friend of til,
writer, at whose house he was recently
: informed him that they had treated then
| hens in this way lately; and as long a,
: they thus fed them they had plenty Of
, eggs, but whenever they discontinued i,
| there was corresponding falling off il
: their supply. Would it not be well 70
r farmers to raise a plenty of red peppe,
: every year, for their hens? 1t is plan
easy of cultivation, bears fruitfully an,
t occupies but little ground. The creates
r difficulty complained of is, that of tn
e seed uegetating; and may not this be IN,
e result of the common practice of expo
S sing the pods SO much to the. rays of tn
: hot sun, in order to cure or dry them
e The influence of the hot sun is great j
destroying the vitalising principle in mo.
seeds, and rendering them too dry t
