THE OPEN HAND

If flock of 100 hens eat soc worth
of feed per day and lay no eggs what
is the production cost of tn e eggs per
dozen and what is the profit with eggs
selling at SOC a dozen? The answer
to the question hasn't yet been found
but the solution to the problem sug-
gested by the question lies to a very
large extent in the feed the hens are
getting. Other factors enter into the
solution, but without liberal feeding
of a ration at least fairly well balanced
the problem of securing winter eggs
will not be solved. Liberal feeding
means giving the hens all they want
at all times and coaxing them to eat
more. Profits from the production of
eggs is governed by the feed cost, and
up to a certain point the higher the
cost of the feed the higher the profit
derived while too low a feed cost will
result in dead loss. During the short
days and cold weather of winter it is
difficult to get hens to eat enough to
maintain the body temperature and
have a surplus left over for the manu-
facture of eggs, which is the reason
for the use of artificial lights in many
poultry plants. In the absence of this
means of stimulating hens TO greater
activity it is important that they
should be given heavy feed of some
thing they like well the last thing in
the evening so that they will go to
roost with the crops full

cessary materials for making eggs.
growing feathers and maintaining the
body. There is no best ration for all
places and conditions, prices and
availability of different feed stuffs
having to be considered as well as
their food value. A scratch feed
made up of equal parts of wheat,
heavy oats, barley and corn, to be fed
in deep litter. is good, but If any one
of the grains is very high in price it
may be omitted. A quart per day of
this mixture in addition to drv
mash will feed dozen hens. A good
mash may be made up of equal parts
of the above named grains ground to-
gether to which should be added 90 10
25 par cent of dried meat scraps and
about one per cent each Of fine salt
and charcoal. This should be fed dry
and hens given all they will eat A
succulent feed should be added If pos
sible and shell and grit should be
provided. Try this on the hens, maxi
ing any changes in feed gradually.
Give them a dry. clean place to
scratch and a suitable place to sleep
and if the hens are the right kind and
were hatched at the right time they
will produce eggs at a cost that will
leave a bigger margin of net profit
than almost anything else on the farm.
Maybe his seems like going to a lot
of trouble just for a hen and of course
it is but it isn't compulsory: everyone
has his choice of feeding for profit or
just keeping hens around for the sake
of their society.

Tugs searching for the Cornell

The tugs which picked up this
wreckage reported having passed

match ended on the twelfth green
