In three operate pens i.e same
number Of chickens wets kept.
All were fed corn all u y, time,
wheat part of the time, md In
addition ground grain ratlons OF
bran, middlings, and corn meal.
Besides this regular feed for the
chickens in all three pens, those
in pen one were fed beef scraps,
and those in pen three were Civ
en- all the sour milk they wanted.
The hens were about the same
age. The experiment covered
the time between November 1
and June 1.
Those hens in pen twc--giyen
only the regular fsed--produced
only 300 eggs; those in pen one
given beef scraps-produced
1918 eggs, and those in pen
three-fed sour milk--produced
i425 egge. The hens in pen one
ate 923 pounds Of grain, those in
pen two 944 pounds and those in
pen three 8Se pounds.
The amount OF beef scraps fed
to the chickens in pen one was
go pounds, costing $3.50. These
hens produced 718 more eggs
than those chickens fed only the
regular ration. In other words,
these chickens produced 718 ad-
ditional eggs on feed which cost
but 81 80 more than the regular
ration. Those hens fed sour
milk produced nearly as many
eggs as those fed the beef scrap
ration.

The conclusion to be drawn
from this experiment are: that
sue rs are natural divisions Of
the plant, and will produce ears
OF corn when the conditions are
favorable. Furthermore, the re.

yield and returns nothing for the
