an old, we'll thumbed Bible on the

PERIOD OF FEATHER GROWING
There 10 Considerable Variation In
the Time Required for Individual
Fowls to Complete Noting.

II is variously asserted that the
time required for the growth Of a
body feather on a healthy fowl is APP
proximately AZ days, while the time
needed to develop the tail is some
what longer. This refers to plucked
feathers. The usual melting period of
hen cannot, however, be accurately
calculated from this estimate. In the
experiment under consideration the
average time Of complete Noting In
the six f1ocks, containing at the end Of
the Noting season, 215 hens. was S5
days. The average time required to
complete the mott of the thFee-year-
olds was nearly 104 days; of the two
year-olds,' about 101 days, and Of the
one-year-olds. SO days. The starved
one-year-olds averaged to mott more
quickly by SO days than did the ted;-
the starved two-year-olds were little
affected. while the starved three-year-
ODDS average 20 days longer in noting
than did the fed birds. The average
time required to complete the mott Of
the three starved focks was 938
days; Of the three fed flocks. 97.4
days
All this would indicate that the
Noting process continues much long
er than is usually supposed. and that
there is considerable variation in the
time of beginning the mott between
different individuals and between
fiocks Of different ages, also a wide
variation in the length Of time It re-
quires individuals to complete the
mott. One is further impressed with
the fact that. so far as this expert
ment is concerned. the method Of
feeding did not materially alter the
normal conditions Of Noting, except
with the one-year-old fowls.
