Poultry Pointers

Mild, spring like weather condi-
tions invariably effect a marked diff
ference in egg production. The hen
is very much like a plant she re-
spends to warmth, starting to lay at
the first signs Of climatic geniality.
The great thing then is to keep her
moving in that direction. A generous
diet naturally goes a long way. and
a little spice of an innocuous nature
In the soft food helps matters consid-
erably. It must be Of a kind, how
ever, that, while stimulating. does
not irritate. Spices containing irri-
tants, such as cayenne, capsicum
and other super-heating Ingredients,
are best left alone.
Greenstuff, which IN some form is
most essential TO laying fowls, is
now somewhat scarce. There are
plenty of roots, however, such as
swedes, mangolds and turnips, that
may be used. The birds will appre-
, ciate them split in halves and given
raw, or, better still, cooked and in
corporated with meal and middlings
in the form OF a mash Another ex-
cellent makeshift is sprouted grain
preferably oats.
The grain is sprounted by being
subjected TO heat, such as that Of a
garden frame, having been previously
covered with sacking to conserve the
shoots, which are greatly relished by
the fowls, and which constitute a
food well calculated to increase the
output of eggs.
One tendency Of spices that contain
pungent ingredients is to irritate the
reproducing organs. so that the eggs
can not be retained sufficiently long to
enable perfect shells TO be formed
Hence the soft-shelled egg, which so
frequently puzzles poultry keepers who
are at some pains TO provide their fowls
with shell-forming materials.
The approach Of milder weather
should see the total exclusion or maize
from the daily menu. In cold weather
this grain given in moderation Is good !;
but II Is much too heating and fatten-
ing to use at other periods Wheat al
ternated with oats and barley, consti-
tutes the best grain diet from now on
ward, until next autumn.
