CHICKENS NEED SOME MEAT
Wisconsin Poultry Expert Believes
Protein Food Produces Greater
Results at Lower Cost.

That 1t is poor policy for farmers
not to feed some kind of food to their
chickens which is high in protein val
ue, such as beef scraps, or sour milk,
Is the opinion of H. L. Kempster, as
sociate professor of poultry husbandry
at the University of Missouri.
Mr.. Kempster has recently conduct.
ed an experiment which he believes
proves c%onclusively that protein food
produces greater results at lower
costs. In three separate pens the
same number of chickens were kept.
All were fed corn all of tie time,
wheat part of the time, and in add.
ton ground rations of bran, middlings
and cornmeal. Besides the regular
feed for the chickens in all three pens,
those in pen n were fed beef scraps,
and those in pen three were given all
| the sour milk they wanted. The hens
were about the samc age. The expert
ment covered the time between No
vember 1 and June l.
Those hens in pen two, given only
the regular feed. produced only 500
eggs; those in pen one, given beef
scraps, produced 1,51S eggs; and those
in pen three, fed soul milk, produced
LAPS eggs. The hens in pen one ate
923 pounds of grain. those in pen two
944 pounds and those in pen three $50
pounds.
The amount of beef scraps fed to
the chickens in pen one was 60 pounds
costing $3.50. These hens produced
71S more eggs than those chickens fed
only the regular ration. In other
words, these chickens produced 71s
additional eggs on feed which cost
but $1.SO more than the regular ration
Those hens fed sou milk produced
nearly as many eggs ? those fed thu
beef-scrap ration.

car track and carrier will bring for
age from a hayrack at the other end
of the building. In using a stable in
this way dairymen often prefer to cut
certain crops in the field and haul the
fodder to the stable to feed.
This plan of feeding is not prac-
ticed to any extent in the North, but
there are conditions of climate in some
of our best dairy sections where feed
crops grow late in the fall, and still
others are sown in the fall to mature
early in the spring, that may be fed to
advantage as soiling crops. All soil
ing crops are expensive to handle. be-
cause they are fed green. 1t has al
ways been a puzzle to dairymen how
to handle such fodder without pulling
their arms out Of the sockets. A CEN

The railroad commission decided TO

BREAKING EGG-EATING HABIT
Generally Confined to Hens Kept in
Small Yards and Results From
Lack of Animal Food.

The ~egg-eating habit when general
in a flock of hens is hard to break.
The habit is generally confined %
hens kept in confinement or small
yards, and usually results from idle
ness or lack of animal food in the ra-
ton. Or the habit may have its be-
ginning in a flock from the accidental
breaking of eggs.
Hens kept in confinement should be
supplied the food elements that are
obtainable on range. Animal food
must be supplied, and provision must
be made to keep the hens busy by
compelling them to scratch in deep
litter for the grain portion OF their
ration. Shell-making material must
also be supplied, since the ordinary
grains are deficient in lime, and SOFT
shelled eggs will likely result unless
oyster-shell, or old plaster is kept be-
fore the hens all the time.
Egg eating can be prevented by pro
yiding l~ow-covered nests. h nests
shoald be so low that the hen barely
has room to creep on and OH ano
cannot stand erect in the nest. When
unable to stand erect, 1t is Impossible
for the hen to break the eggs WITH
her beak. The nests should also be
darkened. This can be done by hav
ing the nests along the rear wall VIII
the opening to the nests facing tn
wall. The eggs should be gathered
several times a day.
