OF the contest by coming across with
ten eggs.
They were fed according to the
University of Maine formulas. which
consisted of one pint OF cracked corn
In the morning, and one pint Of oats
at noon. with plenty OF dry mash.
"hieh consisted of two parts bran,
one part corn meal, one part brown
middlings, one part gluten feed, one
part beef scrap. This mash was kent
before them at all times. They also
had plenty OF fresh drinking water.
grit and charcoal. and were fed green
feed once day, principally ruta-baga
tarnips and apples. with few man
gels and cabbage.
Not one of my birds showed the
least sign OF sickness or broodiness
during the entire contest. This, l
believe, was due to the regularity of
feeding. proper housing, meaning by
this, good ventilation, plenty of sun
light and always a dry litter on the
floor.
The birds made a fine egg record
all through the contest, and finished
with an average OF 1917 eggs per
bird in the ls2 days of the contest.
The birds not only laid very well,
but the eggs Matched unusually well,
which was a fact that surprised many
people. for II is generally supposed
that with hens that have been laying
hard throughout the winter, the fer
tility Is apt TO be rather low.
4 good example OF how the eggs
Matched out from these birds, was an
incubator OF one hundred and forty
eggs set by my little daughter
Catherine. six years old, who took all
the care OF the eggs. turning. cooling
etc, and which tested out only five
unfertile eggs from the one hundred
and forty. and Matched one hundred
and two nice strong chicks.
The hens were looked over and in
spected by our County Agent, II.
Styles Bridges, at the close of the
contest, and he spoke of the great
uniformity and color OF the birds and
the striking evidence that the birds
showed, on examining them, of high
egg Production.
