Of First Importance for Laying
Fowls as It Keeps Flock In
Healthy Condition-Hard
Scratching Needed.

Regular exercise is of first impor-
lance for laying fowls" says Prof. j.
G. Halpin. head of the poultry depart
ment of the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin. "Regu-
lar exercise increases bodily vigor
and vitality and keeps the flock In a
healthy condition. In addition it aids
In maintaining a vigorous appetite,
which assures the use of food with
maximum returns.
The most effective method Of com
pelling hens to take exercise is to
sprinkle grain in fresh, clean litter
and thereby force the birds to scratch
for their food Abundance of litter
is necessary and lot of hard scratch

do the birds no harm. On warm. dry.

Selffeeder racks for supplying
roughage to sheep or cattle are not
only the, means Of saving considerable
labor. but, according to tests made at
the Colorado experiment station, are
the means Of saving great deal of
hay. One lot of lambs at this station
were fed whole hay in selffeeder
rack and another lot whole hay in
racks on the ground, such as are In
common use In many sections of the
country. The average gain Of these
two lots was practically the same,
the lot feeding from the self.feeder
averaging only one pound heavier
than the others. says the American
Agriculturist. Also, the grain CON
sumed varied but little. being only
nine pounds more for a 100-pound
gain in the first lot than in the Sec

cost of roughage
