lEGHORNs PRODUCE eggs
Al Less Cost-SuperiorIty, as Layers,
Over General.Purpose Breeds
Shown by Fecent Feed
Ing Test.

Washington, d. G., July 12-Leg-
horns produce eggs cheaper than hens
Of the general-purpose breeds-Ply-
mouth Rocks. Wyandottes, Rhode Is
land Reds, and 0rpingtons. This fact,
which confirms the belief and exper-
fence of commercial poultry farmers,
was one Of the results obtained In a
rather extensive feeding test recently
reported by poultrymen Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. Be-
cause they lay as many or more eggs,
eat only about Sc pounds Of feed per
head as compared with 10 to S5 pounds
eaten by the general-purpose breeds,
and because their egg yield very ma
terially exceeds that of general-pur-
pose breeds during their second and
third laying years, Leghorns, the spe-
calists say, undoubtedly are more
profitable to keep for the production
Of eggs only.
In this test the feed cost of dozen
eggs for one of the Leghorn pens was
/ 1874 cents In 1913 while the average
cost Of all the pens Of the general
purpose breeds was 1916 cents. In
1914 the feed cost Of dozen eggs for
the same Den of Leghorns was 81
cents as against an average cost of
ISL cents for the second laying year
of the general-purpose pens. During
their third laying year the cost Of
dozen eggs was S.S cents compared to
1876 centh for the general-purpose
fowls. The total value of eggs per
hen over feed cost in the Leghorn pen
for three years was $6.4S against $3.50
for the general-purpose hens. The
highest egg production obtained in
any Of the feeding experiments up to
1915 was by pen of Leghorns which
laid 1875 eggs per hen, at feed cost
of 6.7 cents a dozen.
The Leghorns produce smaller eggs
than the general-purpose breeds. The
average weight of the eggs of a pen
Leghorns during the first laying year
was 1.24 pounds per dozen as against
153 to 1.5S pounds for the other pens.
However, Leghorns laying eggs weigh
ing 1.50 pounds per dozen or even
more, the specialists say, have been
selected and bred by many poultry
men. An examination in May, 1915, of
500 eggs from 3 Leghorn pens showed
that 81 per cent weighed more than 2
ounces apiece, or 1.50 pounds to the
dozen.
The value per dozen of the eggs pro-
duced by the Leghorns was from to,
8 cents less each year than the eggs of
general-purpose hens. This differ
ence is due to the fact that the gen.
eral-purpose breeds are better winter
layers than the Leghorns, while the
latter give higher production in the
spring and summer. Very few Leg
horns become broody, which probably
materially affects their egg yield as
compared with the general-purpose
breeds. Better fertility in the eggs,
especially with stock confined to the |
yards, is more often secured with Leg
horns than with the general-purpose
or any Of the heavier breeds.
