little if any change is necessary in the
process Of the mott.
The actual figures of profits from the
two methods for Il complete year in !:
test carried OH at Cornell IL few years
ago show that while the. starved pens
gave the most promise in the early
part of the experiment there was ut
the end of the year an increased net
profit of 1888 in favor Of the fed
t1ock-the hens that were fed regularly
throughout the year. This is but one
of the several points in favor Of the fed
1ockS. but since it is by far the most
important it seems hardly necessary to
review the others.
II careful. p~ainstaking tests prove
that nothing is to be gained from any
feeding method that has as it's object
the forcing Of the mott there remains
no reason why poultry Keepers should
waste time and profits in attempts to
improve upon natures methods of re-
newing the fowls plumage.
Study Of such data as are available
LIN hAOllii VI loNIS L.
veals the fact that the growing of !:
crop of new feathers imposes Il heavy
drain upon the system Of the bird.
When melting starts egg production
practically ceases. and all the energies
of the body are devoled to the develop
ment of the new feathers. This. then.
is the logical time to feed literally of
%rations that are easily digested and
rich in protein and oil. For this reason
the practice of giving additional meat
feed. oilmeal and sunaower seed in the
regular ration has become quite preva-
lent.
In standard mash mixtures contain
ing gluten meal or some other similar
product the general practice during the
melting season is to substitute oilmeal
in place Of these feeds until the new
feathers are practically grown. In the
more simple mashes. such as equal
parts of bran. cornmeal. middlings and
beef scraps. the ingredients Should re-
main unchanged and the mixture
should be improved by the addition Of
about 10 per cent OF oilmeal. If avail
able a little suntiower seed may. be
added. "
If the birds are fed regularly and lib
orally throughout the entire year these
simple changes in the ration will pro-
vide for the extra demands on the sys-
TEN during the molting eason and the
layers will probably: show as great
yearly profit as would be realized
through the abnormal starvation meth
