Hens tnat devote too much attention early in the season to the fall styles in feathers are not thee kind that please the flock owner. It cost; too much to support them and they demand too long a vacation period Lut the hen that wears her old clothes until autumn has almost passed is the best of the flock, for she has kept or laying since the previous fall and winter. So now when you see a bird thai looks shabbier than the others, do not conclude that she is of the no-accounl kind ami that her smartly dressed sisters are the ones to keep. Late Molters Take Short Vacation Of course some of the hens thai molted earlier, say in August am September, are profitable enough t< keep, but the cream of the flock i: made up of hens that do not change their feathers until October or Novem ber. Their molting will require onh a few weeks and they will probabh be laying again by the 1st of January The poor ones, the early-molting loaf ers, will not begin until about thii time, even though they have beei resting since the middle of th sum mer. It takes one about two month; and the other twice that long to ge' back into production. The poultry keeper who has an ey< for business will rot neglect this won looking late layer, for she is the bes' profit maker he ha>. She needs j highly nutrious ration if she is t( be in the best condition to start or another year of high production "When she quits laying and starts t< molt she has as much need for : ration strc ng in protein as she ha; v hen she is shelling out the eggs, a; feathers are highly nitrogenous ir their make-up. They use the mate rials supplied by beef scrap, gluter feed, and oil meal. The oil meal is very effective in keeping the featherin a healthy, glossy condition. Hens that lay eggs late in the fall and in the winter are really producing an ont-of-co?i?;on nrnn. for it normal for the hen to lay for a time in the spring and early summer anc then rest for the remainder of the year. Profitable hens are really those that have the capacity to force then egg-making machinery, but they musl have the right sort of feed with which to do it. That means feeding wellbalanced rations designed for the particular class, and sometimes for the particular breed. A balanced ratior is a combination of feeds which furnish just the necessary amount ol nutrients to produce the highest anc most economical egg fields. The amount of feed needed to produce a dozen eggs varies with the kind ol birds. According to experiments conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture general-purpose pullets produce a dozen eggs from C.7 pounds of feed, and Leghorn pullots laid the same number from 4.8 pounds. simple mixture are usually tn< most ilesirable. 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 ski that their bodies will have plenty to work on for all of the 24 hours. A good handful of scratch grain for eacl bird at night will fill the crop. It is rot desirable that the hens be made tc work very hard for this feed. Be surf crop. In making up rations it is necessary to adhere to standards within certair limits, but some feeds may be substituted for others, as barley, wheat scrap and other animal-protein feeds can not be replaced by high-vegetable protein feeds. All changes should be made gradually, as sudden changes may decrease egg production. A great many poultrymen and livestock feeders now believe that if the animal has a free choice it will select and oats for corn. However, meat the ration that is most suitable. At the Government farm r.t Beltsville, Md., the following mash was made up by keeping account of the amounts of the different feeds a laying flock consumed: Samples of Balanced Rations .Mash 16 pounds of corn meal. 6 1-2 pounds of meat scrap. 1 pound bran. 1 pound middlings. Scrap Mixture 1 pound cracked corn. 1 pound wheat. 1 pound oats. Here is a simple ration that has given very good results with Leghorns, but that has proved too fattening for Rocks and Wyandotts. Meat scrap, it will be seen, makes up over 25 per cent of the mash. M a?h 3 pounds com meal. 1 pound meat scrap. Scrap Mixture 2 pounds cracked corn. 1 pound oats. For birds that are made too fat by the preceding ration, the following. containing1 only 16 per cent of meat scrap but having considerable protein in other feeds, has bee.i found a good one. i jf ^v!!S IBImIS^^Hm^m MBHb^m/I I j > jj^^^nHH! h[;|] w r M Hm # tiwji ^^B9gB93gH .f JS:^ [ aft ? ?
