CARING FOR
MOLTING HENS
Require Large Amount of Fec
Containing Nitrogen, Such
as Oi1 Neal and
Protein Feeds.
lRy j. BAILEY BRrcE. )

fBy j. BAILEY BRUCE)
Most people believe that if they
can force their hens to mott early they
will lay more eggs during the season
but this is not true. Hens that have
molted late will lay more eggs during
the winter than the early molters.
This has been shown by the most
careful experiments, but the facts are
nc. generally known
Noting hens require large amount
of feed containing nitrogen such as
oil meal, meat and other feeds rich
in protein. Noting can be forced by
cutting down the feed of hens as it
has been shown by experiments that
scantily fed hens begin molting ear
lier than those on full feed. but the
former do not finish moltins much
earlier
Starved hens mott more uniformly
| noticeable in hens two or three years
old.
In an experiment conducted by the
Cornell experiment station 1t was
| found that on basis of 100 hens the
fed flock produced eggs to the value
! of s29.27 more than by the starved
| flock.
The total income from all the birds
was S$27S for the starved flock anc
$3.50 for the fed flock. difference il

BACTERIA ON
ROOTS OF CORN
Supply Sufficient nitrogen to
Serve AbundantIy Their
Purposes When Soil
Ia Exhausted.
cBy WALTER B. LEuTz.)

NEy w ALI En- LEU 4 ~
How the clover acted as fertilizer
was not known until about fifteen
years ago Since that time our
knowledge upon the subject has very
considerably increased and every year
now something more Is learned.
Leguminous and pod bearing plants
unnided have no more ability to help
themselves to the nitrogen OF the air
under any circumstances than have
other green plants.
Certainly bacteria existing in the
soil penetrates the soft tissues OF
young roots OF iegumes and multiply
within these lively tissues SO as to
form a little mass OF gelatinous sub
stance. Responding to the irritation
produced the plant builds nodular
structure about the bacterial invaders,
not unlike the formation of gall
consequent upon the sting of an In
sect
Numerous nodules may be formed
on the roots of one plant and they
have characteristics peculiar to the
species of plant on which they occuE
In some way not we'll understood
these plants with nodules or tubercles
are capable of getting sufficient nitro
gen from the air to serve abundantly
their purposes when the soil has no
supplies. and when other plants must
die from the want of 1t.
Either the bacteria are the direct
agents In the process or they aid the
plant itself to do what. without such
aid, it cannot do. May there leg
umes organisms or some OF them be
made to form tubercles or other
plants for instant maize? Here is a
matter of the greatest moment. I'm
doubtedly they have some times IL
the past become adapted to legumi
nous vegetation. There is nothing te
prevent corn from gathering tubercles
We know now that corn can be
very decidedly modified in its chem
ical composition by processes ol
breeding. Types OF grain can be pro
duced In which for instance the nitro
gen percentage Is greatly increased
and so long way improved as foot
