PLAN FOR HARD-SHELL EGGS
Mineral Elements Necessary Are
Available in Much Cheaper Form
Than in Feeding Grains.

The feeding OF hens for the produc-
tion Of hard-shelled eggs, not easily

demands attention. Shells vary great
ly in strength. A strong, heavy shell
is not nearly SO likely TO be broken
by the Jars, jolts and rough handling
incident t. ordinary shipment as a
weak one.
Chemical analysis shows that the
shell of the egg is largely carbonate
Of lime, but that It also contains car
Donate Of magnesia, mineral phosphate
and some organic matter. II strong
shells are to be produced. the mineral
elements must not be lacking. Grains
that are ordinarily fed do not con-
tain these mineral elements in suffi.
cient proportions, and an additional
and separate supply is necessary. For
tunately, these mineral elements are
available in much cheaper forms than
in grains. Lime is the principal in.
gredient of oyster shells. Iron, mag.
nesia and often phosphorus in many
kinds of artificial grit, may be pro.
cured for about the same price. while
thesc elements in grain would cost at
least double these figures.
Bone meal contains phosphorus in
appreciable amounts, besides lime,
magnesia, etc, and while expensive, II
is effective in giving the shell an even
ness and fineness of texture which
adds much to its strength. 1t is, there
fore. often used as an ingredient fol

in amount varying from three to five
per cent.
Eggs that won't break give the
poultryman greater profits than eggi
that will Make your hens lay the non
! breakable kind.

WINTER FEED FOR THE HENS
Warm, Soft Mashes Sometimes Have
Effect Of Making Fowls Lazy
Feed Sparinsly In Morning.

Amateurs sometimes are puzzled Ia
know how much to feed when throw
ing grain In the litter and are prone
to overfeed, making il 80 easy for the
hens to fill their crops that they will
not work lcng. If dry mash is kept
before the hens at all times. the
poultrykeeper may comfort himself
with the thought that his birds need
never go hungry even II they have
difficulty in finding the grain they
need to satisfy themselves.
The use Of warm, soft mashes some
times has the effect of making hens
lazy. If heavy feeding of mash is
given in the morning. the hens will
I'LL up on that and then stand around
for several hours. II the amount OF
mash is made so small that their hun
ger is not satisfied, no damage will
result.
A mash at the close of day is noy
advisable, but it may be given an houi
or two before roosting time and fol
lowed with a feeding OF whole corn
The corn will almost always be eaten,
in spite of the mash feed just con
sumea, and the hens will go to roost
with full crops, the digestion Of the
two kinds Of feed taking a long time
