work In cold pack canning.
Mr.. Ed Durham has a back yard
poultry flock, which has responded
well to good feeding, housing, and
culling. The flock consists Of %
birds. Buff Orpingtons, Rhode Island
Reds and Barred Rocks,
Mr.. Durham feeds corn, wheat
screenings, shorts, bran, cabbage, rab-
bits, potato parings and fat crack
lings. In the morning corn is thrown
in the straw TO make the hens scratch
and exercise. At noon bran and shorts
are mixed In a mash and fed. The
hens are only given as much as they
clean up. No warm food is fed. At
night another feed of corn is given
especially IL the weather Is cold.
Sometimes the corn is warmed II the
weather Is very cold. The night feed
may consist Of wheat screenings.
From Dec. 10 to 81 the flock laid
l2O eggs. From Jan. l to 81 laid 260
eggs. Feb. 2 fourteen eggs were
gathered. Deducting five hens which
are culls, this makes q good average.
During wet or cold weather straw
Is thrown down in the yard for the
hens to walk on. The door Of the
house is open but the hens do not
venture out very far.
