TO INCREASE EGG PRODUCTION
Proper Feed, Good Shelter, and Sani-
tary Surroundings Required.

The Extension Service of the
Louisiana State University has re.
Gently received large number OF
inquiries from persons wishing te
know how to increase their egg pro.
duction while prices are still high.
! The first requisite is vigorous
healthy stock, say the poultry spec
ialists of the Extension Division. Tn,
less the chickens already have these
qualities it is too late to remedy the
| trouble this season. All that can be
/ done in such cases is to make a new
start, and raise some vigorous birds
for next years work. The second
! factor to be considered is the wealth
er conditions. With the season OF
cold weather, and the accompanying
disagreeable storms, it is necessary
to provide good shelter. Any house
which will keep the birds dry, pro-
tect them from drafts, and that may
be kept in sanitary condition, will
serve this purpose. With these two
factors taken care Of, increased egg
production is largely matter of in
telligent feeding
A chicken cannot eat whole grain,
exclusively, and digest it fast enough
to manufacture eggs at the desired
rate. Then too, it is almost impossi-
BILE to obtain whole grains which will
furnish the protein and carbohy-
drate elements in, the proper proper
tions. If good winter egg produc-
tion is expected, it becomes necess-
ary to supplement the whole grain
with some ground feed. This is COM
monty called mash feed. The mash
may be fed wet or dry. The former
will ofttimes give slightly greater egg
production than the latter, but it
also requires additional labor. II
dry mash is kept before the birds it
does not matter much what whole
grains are fed. During the inter
season good results can be obtained
from the exclusive use of corn feed
at night in sufficient quantities to
send the birds to roost with full
crops, and allowing them to help
themselves to the dry mash at any
time. A good dry mash may be mix
ed as follows:
Corn meal, two quarts.
Wheat bran, six quarts.
Cottonseed meal, one quart.
If sour milk can be obtained, give
the birds all they will eat. They will
not consume too much sour milk IF
fresh ground bones can be obtained,
give one pound to each twenty hens,
twice week. This ground bone must
be perfectly fresh, as the slightest
taint will produce serious results.
The sour milk and fresh ground bone
are not absolutely essential, but will
prove very essential if used this way
The production of eggs requires
the consumption Of food This food
must be of both proper quantity and
proper quality. Unless one is. willing
to furnish these requirements heavy
egg production is impossible.
