~EGG-EATING HENS.

A. D. Cleveland contributed this
remedy for ~egg-eating chickens to the
Pacific Homestead: 1t is one of the
strongest tenets of our poultry creed
never to feed stimulants, condiments,
or drugs of any kind to our birds. Yet,
we mixed up a terrible dose of red
pepper and mustard and set it out in
egg shells. The hens ate it up. Then
we sought help from Mrs. A. Basley,
of Los Angeles, California, who knows
practically all that can be known
about a chicken. She advised bitter
aloes. We mixed part of a yolk of egg
with flour and aloes, putting it in a
fresh eggshell-several of them. One
taste, and the way those birds shook
their heads and wiped their bills au-
cured we'll for the success of our
treatment" Daily we set out fresh
shells filled with the aloes mixture
for some time after we were sure our
fowls were cured. We also scattered
china eggs about the yard. 1t did
not take long. The hens never ate
another egg.

FOOD FOR LAYING HENS.

A hen requires more kinds of food
than a COW or a hog. The COW needs
no animal food; the hen does. The
hen gives more consideration to clean
Illness of the product than the COW;
she seals it up in a shell of lime to
keep it clean and she therefore must
have a liberal supply Of mineral mat
ter. All food furnishes a certain
amount of mineral matter, but not
enough to supply all the shell mate
rial when hens are laying heavily.
What food should hens be fed? They
should have grain; but grain alone
won't do. What will happen if the
hen eats nothing but wheat? Remem-
Der that she puts nothing into an egg
that she does not eat; that an egg con-
tains about one-fifth ounce of fat and
that if she eats nothing but wheat,
she will get enough fat for three or
four eggs a day and about enough
protein for half an egg a day. There
fore, the thing that will happen will
be that she will refuse to make eggs.
The hen does not adulterate her
product, otherwise she could fill up the
egg with surplus fat like some peo-
pie make butter out of spurious oil
or beef fat. She will make an hon
est article or none at all.
The point is that the hen should
have such foods as will furnish the
necessary food elements. in proper
proportions; in other words, she
should have a balanced ration. For
instance, if the hen has access to
wheat, to clover or kale and to grass
hoppers, angleworms and grit, she will
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-04-01

balance her own ration. She will eat
a little wheat, a little clover and a few
grasshoppers or angleworms, and eat
enough to furnish the egg-making ele-
ments in right proportion. An occa-
sional feed of corn or oats in place of
wheat would improve the ration.
A hen is said to have the capacity
of laying 600 eggs and no more-a
few in her first year; from 800 to 375
in the next three, and the rest from
the fifth to the ninth, inclusive.-Ex.

HOW TO MAKE A HENS NEST.

L. M. Morris writes to Gleanings in
Bee Culture as follows:
Mr.. Root-The box you described is
ideal, but the contents is where we
differ. Fix your box as you described;
then go to some good sod land, cut
a piece of sod a little larger than you
have green grass on it three or four
inches long if you can get it. Place
it on the box. Now take some clean
straw and make the sides of your
nest to keep the eggs from rolling out,
and place your eggs on the sod. The
green grass will soon turn yellow, and
the eggs will be on a nest as soft as a
pillow. In the winter months the
cold air cannot come up through the
bottom of your nest to chill your eggs,
and in summer it keeps cool. Your
hens will sit better, the eggs will
hatch better, and this is my way to
make a nest after fourteen years of
experience in raising poultry. I am
a cripple, made SO by having my hip
dislocated while playing baseball
fourteen years ago. l cannot do a days
work, so 1 turned to poultry, which 1
have studied very closely. In the
month of March I set nine hens on
1875 eggs. They broke but one, and
Matched 1872 chickens, strong and ro-
bust. The eggs seem to draw some
moisture from the sod. The nest stays
clean and sweet-nO foul smell about
it, even when used the second time.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-04-01

AS an illustration of the preparation
needful to supply the needs of a great
crowd in a great city, we cite the fol-
lowing: A Seattle firm has placed
an order with two Iowa establishments
for 81 carloads of eggs-about 1884,
900 eggs, shipments to begin April 1.

And got the egg she laid.

He handed in the big white egg
And got a smile SO sweet
That Marys hen stood on one leg
And trlled the band to beat.
So this cute hen laid every day
In the nest Just DER the way,
And the bachelor brought the egg right
back
And got more smiles for pay.
