GRAIN FEEDS FOR
THE LAYING HENS

GRAIN FEEDS FOR
 THE LAYING HENS
 The feeder must use his own judg- nlent in deciding how much grain to give the hens, as the amount of feed which they will eat varies with diff ferent pens and at different seasons of the year. They will eat more feed in the spring while laying heavily than in the summer and fall when laying fewer eggs. experiments in the poultry division of the United States department of agriculture show
 A fair general estimate is to feed about one quart of scratch grains and an equal weight of mash (about one and one-half quarts) daily to 13 hens of the general purpose breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks Rhode Island Reds or Wyandottes or to 16 hens of the smaller or egg breeds. This would be about seven and one-haf pounds each of scratch grains and of mash daily to loo Leghorns and about nine and one-haf pounds C. each to 100 general purpose fowls
 If hens have free range or large yards containing green feed. a generu,-purpose hen will eat about = pounds of feed in a year, and a Leghorn will eat about 55 pounds, in addition to the green stuff consumed.
 Old hens require a much larger amount of feed of all kinds than do bullets to produce a dozen eggs.

 How can. one tell whether or .iot :iIa chickens have enough room? One nf the best indications is the condition Of the plumage. If the p!umage IS bright and clean it is a good sign that the birds are doing well and have room enough. If the plumage is soiled by droppings, it is an indication thai there is not room enough for all of them On the roosts with the result that some are compelled to rest on the floor be- heath the roosts and thus become soi!ed. trip to the growing houses after dark will also determine whether enough room is being provided. If there is not space enough so that all the chickens can find room on the roosts the quarters are too crowded and some of the chick ems must be taken out If all can find room on the roosts comfortably and If the house is well ventilated, the quarters are not crowded and the youngsters should do well

PIGEONS AS 4 SIDE LINE.

Many people can keep pigeons suc- cessfully as 2 side issue. although it requires constant oversight and care ful attention to details. The greatest difficulties confronting the successful raising of pigeons seem to be in getting good breeding stock and finding good market for the product of a small flock, specialists in the United States Depart ment of Agriculture say.
 Pigeons are a profitable source of in come on general farms where they may get much of their feed from the fields, provided they are not Q nuisance and the loss by shooting and by hawks, owls and cats is not large. They can also be raised successfully on farms where they are closely confined. provided the squabs can be marketed to good advantage. Good breeding stock is one of the prime essentials of success in squab rais- ing. It is advisable to buy pigeons from reliable breeders; if possible. from those who guarantee their product. Many failures in Suab raising have been due to poor stock. because the prospective producer bought old pigeons past their !! period of usefulness. or a surplus of male birds Both the age and the sex i of pigeons are difficult to determine by 1 casual observation, which forces the buy 1 CT to depend largely on the sellers word
 
 ] pigeons which are from one to three years old or to get young birds six to ! eight weeks old and mate them al | the proper time. Pigeons are most val uable as squab producers when from two ] to six years of age, although many will breed until about eight years old i The small varieties mate and breed al l five to six months, and the larger oneS 1 at eight to nine months.

CONVERT BRUSH
 INTO PASTURE LAND

ANIO U
 There are many hundreds of thousands of acres of land grown up in brush that should be in permanent pasture Most farms all over the country have some such acres. With labor as high as 1t Is at present, many farmers figure that they cannot afford to cle; ' brush land for pasture, but the United States De- partnent of Agriculture points out that the labor employed on practically any farm can be utilized to clear from one to a few acres of brush land every year at times when regular farm work cannot be done. The brush can be cleared away at any time, of course, and after 1t Ia off the ground may be plowed at inc r. vals when the titled fields are to wet for blowing. Every acre of land clear- ed and put in permanent pasture r,eans an investment that will pay divid. ads through lifetime.
