When it is decided to start the flock
laying, a richer feed should be used than
Is advisable after they are we'll started.
More beef scrap can be used and gluten
meal in larger quantities than in later
months. A small amount of green cut
bone is useful, provided it can be oh
tanned at a reasonable price. It should
not be over four cents a pound ready cut.
1t will not pay to feed it largely at even
three cents, but can he used as a stiru-
lator. Some use mustards and peppers,
but as a rule these are not advisable be-
cause they tend to overstimulate and are
believed by many to %injure the useful
ness of the fowl in later months.
After the hens are laying well the ra-
ton and its proportions are not of so
much importance. They must be given
careful attention, however. for the first
few weeks that the hens are beginning
the heavy egg yield. AS the feeds that
are rich in protein. like beef scrap and
green bone, are usually the costly ones.
these should be reduced gradually and
the cheaper feeds containing less protein
substituted. Another reason for this is
that as the weather gets colder the laying
hens or pullets will need more carbona-
Ceous feeds, such as corn and corn meal.
COMPEL EXERCISE.
The grain feed and mash feed should
he given in about equal parts. The mash
should be fed largely in the litter so as
to compe exercise. The grain feed at the
start should be one-half wheat. one
fourth oats. and one-fourth cracked corn.
The corn should be cracked medium fine
and sifted 80 as to save the fine grains
and corn meal.
After the lock is laying an average
production OF around 20 per cent. the
amount of wheat should be reduced and
the proportion made one-third each of
wheat. cracked corn and oats. To this
may be added one-half a part of barley if
It can be bought cheaper per pound than
wheat or oats. 1t is hardly as good feed
FOR egg production as wheat and is not
quite as good as oats, but 1t furnishes a
variety. One-half a part of buckwheat
may also be added if it can be bought at
n little more than corn as it compares in
food value with corn and should be used
Tor its heat creating properties.
These changes must be made gradually,
decreasing the wheat a little at a time
and increasing the substitutes In the
Same proportion. 1t is not advisable to
feed even the coarsest beef scrap in the
grain feed, as too large a portion of it is
liable to be lost in the litter and it alb
serbs dirt and filth worse than the grains.
This grain feed is sometimes termed the
"scratch feed because it is fed IN the
litter to make the hens scratch.
When the hens are laying full and the
weather is cold, a feed of entire cracked
corn should be given just before night.
Civ them all they will eat and If n little

the better.
