Must Feed Hens Mash to Fill Summer Egg Basket "Hens will not lay eggs in the sum mer unless they are supplied with all the mash they can eat,’’ says Duncan li. ltehl of the poultry department, University of Wisconsin. lairing the spring months, the wet ground and gru-s are fall of Insoots which pro vide'plenty of animal feed for the hens, but when summer comes the In sects disappear anil this luck of ani mal food must be supplied through (be iuumU. A good ration •ceommended by Mr. Held consists of UKi pounds of ground corn, 10(! pounds oh ground mils, 1(1) pounds of w heat bran, 100 pounds of wheat middlings, KKi pounds of meat scrap, ami f* pounds of salt. When milk Is fed with the mush, the meat scrap should he eut In half. .“A hen should receive two ounces of grain a day and all the mash she eutt out." says Air. Held. "The grain ration should isiu>i*t of com supple mented with 2A per emit wheat ami oat)). Tjrls Is contrary to the gener al I elltif that corn furnishes too much heat. Ttsls have shown tkat the best results art* obtained when this ration Is used. The grain should he fed a little In the morning ami heavy at night. The umeh should Is* changed at least once* a Week. A look of oys ter shell flaring tile summer mouths will cut egg production In half, (Ireen feed, such u».ek)ve|\ when mixed with the mash, has a decided advantage even if the green feed Is growing In the yard.” Poultry Notes For some reason, not fully under «aU»t)d, thick, sour skimmed milk seems To have a greater value for liens than sweet milk. • * ♦ The *!d bleu of ducking ami starv ing to prevent broodlnes* Is not to be recommended where further egg pro duet Ion Is desired. • • • Green feed at all seasons is a neces sity for health and egg production. Large vjnantitles of mangels and cab bages can be produced on a very small area. Chickens. to bo fed profitably. should first he <>pi growing during the grow ing season, To beet accomplish this they should be given it varied diet of turtK and vegetable protein. • • • IJrue Is the principal constituent of egg shells and hens should lie pro vhled with lime If they mount gather It nattirally. It eun lie given in Ihe form of crushed lime stone, cruslved egg shells, etc. * • • Many farmers begrudge a hen every bite thut goes down her neck, and mnnorocs early risers on the farm get up to feed the hogs before day light to keep the liens from eating with them. • • • Poultrymen are fli tting out tlmt hens will lay as freely without the com pany of males ua with them. Tills fact permits the lessening of expenses by doing atvuy with the roouters. It la also a fact that eggs that are In tortile will k£ep much the longest.
