STARTING TOE LAYERS ON THE WINTER EGG CAMPAIGN Keep the Late Moulting Hens, Whicl Are the Profit Makers of the Flock-A High Protein Ration Needed to Make Quick Growth of Feathers. Hlens that devote too much attention early in the season to the fall styles in feathers are not the kind that please the flock owner. It costs too much to support them and they de iand too long i vacation period. But the hen that wears her old clothes un til autumn hrs almost passed is the best of the flock, for she has kept oi laying since the previous fall or win ter. So now when you see a bird that looks shabbier than the others, do not conclude that she is of the no-account kind and that her smartly dressed sis ters are the ones to keep. Late Molters Take Short Vacation Of course some of the hens that molted earlier, say in August and September, are profitable enough to keep, but the cream of the flock is made up of liens that do not change their feathers until October or Novem ber. Their molting will require only a few weeks and they will probably be laying again by the 1st of Januarv. The poor ones, the early-molting loaf ers, will not begin until about this time, even though they have been resting since the middle of the sum mer. It takes one about two months and the other twice that long to get back into production. The poultry keeper who has an eye for business will not neglect this worn looking late layer, for she is the best profit maker he has. She needs a highly nutritious ration if she is to be in the best condition to start on another year of high production. When she quits laying an( starts to molt shc has as much need for a ration strong in protein as she has when she is shelling out the eggs, as feathers are highly nitrogenous in their make up. They use the materials supplied by beef scrap, gluten feed, and oil meal. The oil meal is very effective in keeping the feathers in a healthy, glossy condition. Iens that lay eggs late in the fall an( in the winter are really produc ing an out-of-season crop, for it is normal for the hen to lay for a time in the spring and early summer and then rest for the remainder of the year. Profitable hens are really those that have the capacity to force their egg-making machinery, but they must have the right sort of feed with which to do it. That means feeding well balanced rations designed for the par ticular class, and sometimes for the particular breed. A balanced ration is a combination of feeds which fur nish just the necessary amount of nutrients to produce the highest and most economical egg yields. The amount of feed needed to produce a dozen eggs varies with the kind of birds. According to exneriments con lucted by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture general-purpose pullets produced a dozen eggs from 6.7 pounds of feed, and Leghorn puil lets laid the same number from 4.8 pounds. Simple mixtures are usually the most desirable. As the fall advances and the days grow shorter the birds should be encouraged to put away as much feed as possible during the day so that their bodies will have plenty to work on for all of the 24 hours. A good handful of scratch grain for each bird at night will fill the e. op. It is not desirable that the liens be made to work very hard for this feed. Be sure that the liens go to roost with a full crop. In making up rations it is necessary to adhere to standards within certain limits, but some feeds may be sub stitutted for others, as barley, wheat, andl Oats for' corni. Ilowever, nieat scrapi anud ot her an imnal-protein feedsk can not be repla'edl by highi-vegetable proteim feeds. All chmanges should he made gradually, as sudden chaniges mnay decrease egg product ion. A grat ninny poultrymen and( live. stock feedlers now hlie lve that if the ammi ial hia's a free choice it will select the rationi that is most suitable. A t the Govern ment farm at Hleltsvil le.
