Eggg-Laying Rations.
Good Results Obtained from Wheatless
Ration for Hens

With wheat so high, poultrymen will
be interested to learn that on the United
States Department of Agriculture ex-
pertinent farm excellent egg-laying re-
suits were secured with a wheatless ra-
ton. Thirty Leghorn pullets to which
this ration has been fed for IL years
produced an average of 147.3 eggs per
hen for the pullet year. This compares
tavorably with egg yields secured on
other ratlons containing wheat and there
fore more expensive. This pen, more
over, during the first 10 weeks of its
second year has averaged 285 eggs per
hen, 17.5 eggs per hen being produced in
March
The same wheatless ration has been fed
since last November to a pen of Buff
Orpington pullets, which have laid SO
eggs per hen in 20 weeks and hold the
highest egg record of any of the large
feeding pens of pullets at the farm this
year. Two other pens, however, are less
than l egg per hen behind this pen. The
ration used was as follows:
SCRATCH MIXTURE DRY MASH.
2 pounds cracked corn pounds corn meal
l pound oats l pound beef scrap.
The scratch mixture was fed Sparingly,
so that the hens ate about equal parts of
this mixture and of the dry mash. The
total grain consumption of feed for the
year was So pounds, of which 26 pounds
was scratch mixture. Throughout the
year it took At pounds of feed to produce
dozen eggs.
This scratch mixture, with wheat 81. 81,
cracked corn $1.35, and oats 70 cents per
bushel, is 40 cents per hundred pounds
cheaper than the regular mixture Of
equal parts cracked corn, wheat and oats.
Another mash which is slightly cheaper
than this one is made of 4 per cent each
bran and middlings, &c per cent beef
scrap, and 66 per cent corn meal.
If the wheat is omitted from the ra-
ton, it is very essential to feed a con-
siderable proportion of beef scrap in the
mash, but with present prices beef scrap
is one of the cheapest poultry feeds, con-
sidering its high protein contents.
These experiments, the specialists say,
prove that wheat is not essential in an
egg-laying ration and that excellent re-
suits can be secured by using corn and
oats as a scratch mixture, provided this
is fed with a good mash containing rs
per cent beef scrap.
