LEGHORNS PRODUCE EGGS AT LESS COST.

‘LZVZZV*™' Purpose ureeaa snown oy cent Feeding Test. •*. Leghorns r j>, produce eggs cheaper than hens of the genera! purpose ,breeds Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and Orpingtons. This fact, which confirms the belief and experience of commercial poultry farmers, was one of the results' obtained in a rather (sxtehsive feeding test recently reported by poultry men of the United States Department, of Agriculture. Because they lay as many or more eggs, ekt only about 55 pounds of feed per head as compared with 70 to 85 pounds, eaten by the general-purpose breeds, and because their egg yield very materially exceeds „ that of general-purpose breeds during their second and third laying years. Leghorns, thß specialists say, undoubtedly are more profitable to keep for the production of' eggs only. In this test the food cost of a dozen eggs for one of the Leghorn pens was 7.34 cents in 1913 while the averagecost of all the pens of the generalpurpose' breeds was 10.6 cents. In 1914 the feed cost of a dozen eggs for the same pen of Leghorns was 8.7 cents as against an average cost of 15.1 cents for the second laying year of the general-purpose pens. During their third laying year the cost of a dozen eggs was 8.8 cents compared to 18.6 cents for the general-purpose fowls. The total value of egg&per hen over feed cost in the Leghorn pen for three years was $6.84 against 14.30 for the general-purposß hens. The highest egg production obtained in any of the feeding experiments was by a pen of Leghorns which laid 167.6 • eggs per hen, at a feed cost of 6.7 cents a dozen. The Leghorns produce smaller eggs than the general-purpose breeds. The average weight of the eggs of a. pen of Leghorns during the first laying year was 1.42 pounds per dozen as against ,1.53 to 1.58 pounds for the other pens. However, Leghorns layajag eggs weighing 1.50 pounds per twzen or even more, the specialists say, have been selected and bred*" by many poultrymen. An-examination of 600 eggs .from 3 Leghorn pens showed thf»t 31 per cent weighed more than two ounces apiece, or 1.50 pounds to the dozen. .igißm Mi \ per dozen of the eggs r the Leghorns wacfrbih '’Se eggs, jMecially '‘with stock confined to tM;y*rds, is more often secured wiJfpSthornsjSaihn with the or a# of the heavier breeds.

GEESE GOOD GRAZERS.

fiooeo Raising Not Affected by HighPriced Grains—Little Cara Needed. Geese can be raised in small flocks on general farms, on pasture or nonproductive land and do not require any material amount of grain. Low, rough pasture land, used for pasturing other stotek and containing a natural supply of water offers the best conditions. Many geese are kept in the South to kill weeds, especially in tho cotton fields, and their use could still be greatly increased for this purpose. They are good grazers and will do well on grass and forage crops alone, exoept during the winter months, wheaJhky may be fed largely on availiable roughage, such as clover, pifnifa. hay, silage, cabbage, mangelwursels, or any waste vegetables. If the grass or forage is limited it may be supplemented by light feed* of common or home-grown grains. Geeke do not need shelter exoept during cold weather, when open sheds may be provided. Goslings are not usually hatched until good pasture is available and need additional feed only for a few weeks. The range of pasture used either for goslings or for geese should-be large enough so that the" grass wm remain clean, or the stock should be moved frequently to flesh land. Coops, barrels, or some other dry shelter should be provided for the young goslings. Geese are very hardy and free from diseases and Insect pests.

Toll details as to culture of rye in the eastern half of the United States, where 80 per cent of the crop is grown, are given in Farmers’ Bulletin 766, United States Department of Agriculture. This bulletin discusses the production and harvesting of the crop, and gif ea a description of soils and varieties that may be expected to yield good results in various regions. Since rye la strongly recommended by the department, and by the Food Administration forces, farmers who n«y contemplate planting it are urged In writs to the Department and secure Vtemers’ Bulletin No. 766.
