FEEDING FOR EARLY EGGS.

The Department of Poultry Hus-
bandry, Ithaca, New York, recently is
sued O. bulletin on four methods of
feeding pullets for early egg produc-
ton.
Pen 1, forced, received a grain mix
ture morning and night in the litter
and wet mash at noon.
Pen 2, forced, received the grain
mixture morning and night in the lit
ter and dry mash in a hopper open at
all times.
Pen 8, retarded, received grain
morning, noon, and night in litter and
beef scrap once a day in a trough.
Pen 4, retarded, received grain mix
ture and beef scrap in a hopper open
at all times. The pullets in all four
pens had grit, oyster shell, and water
always before them, and were given
mangel beets and cut green bone at
intervals during the period of confine-
ment.
The conclusions drawn from the data
of this experiment are as follows:
1. Forced pullets made a better
profit than retarded pullets.
2. Forced pullets ate less food per
hen at less cost per hen than retarded
pullets.
8. Forced pullets produced more
eggs of a larger size, at less cost per
dozen than retarded pullets.
4. Forced pullets produced more
eggs during early winter than re-
tarded pullets
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-03-01

&c. Hopper-fed pullets ate more than
handled pullets.
IT, Pullets having whole grain ate
more grit and shell than those having
a proportion of ground grain.
IS. Pullets fed on grain were more
inclined to develop bad habits than
those having a mash.
49, Earliest producers did not give
as many eggs in early winter.
20. Early layers gained as rapidly
in weight as those beginning later to
lay.
81 Prolificacy made but slight diff
ference in weight of hen and weight
of egg.
22 The most prolific pullets did not
always lay earliest.
%. Pullets did not as a rule lay
while melting.
