POULTRY
AND EGGS
HENS DURING MOLT.

Give Better Results on Full Feed Than
When Rations Are Scanty.
As the Noting period approaches
some poultrymen reduce sharply the
feed allowance, which practice is in
tended to hasten melting and to cause
the hens to lay earlier than usual in
the fall, says the Iowa Homestead.
Then when melting is finished they
feed literally again to stimulate egg
production That such practice short
ems the time when hens look shabby
and bare may be determined by obser-
walton, but it has not been shown that
egg production is thereby increased.
To furnish reliable information on
this point the Pennsylvania experiment
station selected two pens of White
Leghorns containing eighteen hens
each and fed one pen literally and the
other scantily during the last half OF
August when Noting was in progress.
After that time both pens received full
feed
Records of egg production were accu-
rately kept during September, October
and November, and the figures show
that the eighteen hens scantily fed dur
ing the last part of August produced
1870 eggs in September, 1876 in October
and thirty-nine in November as COM
pared with 1S5 eggs in September, nine
ty-five in October and thirty-six in No
vember produced by the eighteen hens
literally fed.
From these figures we find that fore
ed melting produced by limited feed
apparently gave an increase in egg pro
duction during the last two months.
but in the totals for the three months
the pen that was scantily fed fell be-
hind, producing only 296 eggs, while
the literally fed pen produced 316.
Such evidence leads to the conclusion
that forced melting has no economic
advantage.
In further support Of this conclusion
it has been observed that careful, regu-
lar feeding in late summer and early
fall encourages laying, because the
hens are kept up to normal weight dur
ing the melting period and do not have
to recover any lost flesh before COM.

not be ended for some time, not un-
