City of Capua

The city of Capua of ancient Italy
opened its gates TO Hannibal after the
Battle of Cannae. PIG b. c., ano the
army there went into winter quarters.
Capua was the most luxurious city
in Italy. and Hannibal's army was
greatly enervated as a result OF IT'S
residence there. When the Romans
regsined possession of CeYua. 211. b.

Animal, Vegetable and
Mineral Feed for Hens

For high egg production a hen In
her feed requires animal, vegetable
and mineral elements. OF these. ami
NAL elements are the ones most often
lacking in the diet and there Is no
doubt that the egg yield in most Socks
of the country could be increased If
greater attention were given to this
part of the ration.
Animal protein is obtained from fish
scraps. fish meal, infertile eggs (from
incubation). table scraps, fresh meat
scraps, milk, albumen, whey, butter.
milk, cottage cheese, blood meal, bone
meal. green cut bone, beef scraps, meat
meal and skim milk. Any of these are
satisfactory, If they can be had at a
reasonable price. Table scraps are all
right for small focks, If fed when
fresh.
During five seasons from November
to February inclusive, an average of
% birds for each pen was fed practi-
cally the same quantities of grain,
meal, grit and shells, but one lot re-
ceived skim milk and the other beef
scraps. the object being to compare,
winter production, the most com
sources of animal protein. The
birds given skim milk o only laid a
greater number of eggs, but gained
more weight han those which received
beef scraps. According to the expert
ment, beef scraps cost about nine
times as much as skim milk, weight
weight, for egg production.

In this case the lent varieties had
an advantage because they produced

indicates that in sections where reli-

varieties can be used for hogging
