COBB TELLS FOODS TO MAKE HENS LAY DURING GOLD DAYS

Chickens Need "Four G" Ration of Grain, Greens Grubs and Grit to Produce Eggs. BY. A. D. COBB. Recently a local produce buyer ac

cused the American hen of belonging

to the union, because she refused to lay eggs when conditions were not satisfactory to her. The accusation was perhaps more apt than he had Intended It. Through the organized efforts of his union the laboring man

protests against conditions that he

considers to be unjust, and If the conditions are not remedies, he becomes a non-producer. In a similar manner the hen ceases to be a producer whenever she is not provided with satisfactory surroundings, and materials for completing her work. The all Important function of the hen as we have developed her is to lay eggs. The laying of eggs the year around Is an abnormal function which has been developed by selective breeding, and to maintain this abnormal condition the demands of the hen for suitable feed must be met. That it pays to meet these conditions is best illustrated by the fact that it costs from 40 to 60 cents to keefc a hen for one year, and with eggs selling at

40 cents a dozen dunng most of December, a hen laying at this time of the year, will pay her board bill for Ihe year In from two to three weeks. Demands Certain Foods. To meet the requirements of the hen, it iuust be remembered that she needs food to maintain her body, and to furnith the material for eggs which she lays. The demands therefore are for sufficient carbohydrates to furnish het and energy for her body, and a large amount of protien material to furnish the protein and albumen contents of the eggs. In addition to this (here must be lime for the shell, grit Tor her digestive apparatus and plenty af water, which composes about 90 per lent of the egg. Professor Otis Crane, formerly poul!ry instructor at Purdue university, and now county agent of Grant county, recommends what he calls the "Four d" ration. This Includes Grains, Greens, Grubs and Grit. These materials meet the conditions which the hen finds in the spring of the year, accojding to Mr. Crane, when she lays plenty of eggs. He suggests that If the same conditions are met in the winter that the hen will lay eggs as liberally as in the spring, if she is given good quarters. Hens Need Exercise. A ration that meets these conditions Is composed of equal parts by weight of wheat bran and middlings, and about 25 pounds of dried beef soup added to each 200 pounds of the above, and fed as a dry mash to be kept before the hens all the time. At night whole grain should be scattered in the litter. This gives the hen some exercise before going to roost, and furnished food that digests slowly during the night. This supplies the grains and the grubs. For the greens cabbage heads, stock beets or other succulent v jgt tables, have proved satisfactory, :nJ it is a good plan to hand them up co that the hens will have to jump up ; little to reach them. It is essential that hens particularly of the heavy types, take a good deal of exercise. Tho lighter breeds will take care of themselves. The lime is probably best furnished by keeping a good supply of oyster shells before the bird;- all the time. In addition to this some form of coarse pxit should be supplied to aid in digestion of food.
