GET EARLY LAYING PULLETS
Chicken at Four Months and Four
teen Days at Ohio College.

A single-comb White Leghorn pull
let that laid her first egg just four
months and fourteen days from the
date Of her Matching is one Of the re.
suits of breeding for early maturity
obtained by the Ohio Agricultural
college. The usual age at which pull.
let's begin laying is about six months.
This extraordinary fowl was one of a
group of 720 that were Matched at the
same time. Five or six others from
this group began laying much earlier
than ordinary fowls, showing that It
pays to breed for early maturity.
They were from the Yesterlaid strain
Of single-comb White Leghorns, that
had been bred especially to develop
early laying.
1t may be interesting to know just
how this flock was fed. From the
first day to the sixth week they re.
ceived twice day a grain ration of
two pounds fine cracked corn and
three pounds cracked wheat. Up I'M
til the twenty-first day they also re-
celved three times day a moist
mash composed Of four pounds rolled
oats three pounds cornmeal, three
pounds wheat middlings, six pounds
wheat bran, four pounds sifted meat
scraps, two pounds alfalfa meal, one.
quarter pound bone meal, one-quarter
pound fine charcoal. This was mixed
with skim milk or buttermilk and fed
in shallow trays. From the sixth
week to maturity they received
grain ration Of two pounds cracked
corn and two pounds whole wheat, fed
in open hoppers. From the twenty
first day to maturity they received
mash composed Of one pound rolled
oats. one pound corn meal; one
pound wheat middlings, two pounds
wheat bran. one pound sifted meat
scraps. one-half pound alfalfa meal,
two ounces fine charcoal. This was
fed dry in open hoppers. In addition
they were given green foods and
grits.

Beautifully and Takes of

Almost every one knows that Sage
