nation of the poor producing hens in
a flock in which all the hens have
had opportunity to produce eggs
Under such conditions those that fail
to produce are simply lacking in abil-
ity Green food tends to keep the hens
in good condition and aids in the
digestion of other foods When the
hens are on range the problem of
green food is solved but if there is
a drought or a lack of green vegeta-
tion then green food should be sup-
plied The best green foods are the
leafy ones such as cabbage kale
rape lettuce or sprolted oats Man-
gel beets are very good and cheap to
produce but do not contain the vita-
mines to be found in the others They
do have the advantage of being easy
to keep Plan to have some green
food growing near the poultry house
that Avill remain gTecn in case of
drought Rape or kale will supply
this need
Grit and shell are usually classed
together altho they serve two differ-i
ent purposes Grit grinds the food
and must necessarily be hari Shell
supplies the lime for the egg and
must necessarily be dissolved in the
gizzard The harder the grit the
better Sometimes limestone is used
as grit and it has the advantage of
furnishing lime as it dissolves but
if the limestone is too soft it makes
poor grit and if too hard it dissolves
too slowly to supply the lime as fast
as the hen needs it A hard quartz
grit and oyster shell is the ideal com-
bination Because the hens are on
range is no reason for discontinuing
the feeding of shell In a country
devoid of gravel by all means feed
grit twelve months of the year
Water is by no means unimportant
Sixty-five percent of the egg is water
Water constitutes 55 percent of the
fowl Blood is largely water Water
softens the food in the crop and is
necessary in digestion and assimila-
tion Water is one of those things
that because it is cheap is sometimes
rated lightly but deprive hens of
water when they are in full laying
condition and more damage will be
done in a short period of time than
would be caused by the lack of some
feed Cool water in summer and
warm water in winter will help egg
production
The whole seerct Of getting pullets
to lay heavily is to feed them good
wholesome feeds in generous quan-
tities A poor feeder never gets rich
A laying pullet has a well developed
digestive system and the reason for
this is that she needs it and uses it
On Annual Tour
A E Horne manager of the Gar-
ber Leghorn Farm left with his fam-
ily Monday on the annual poultry
inspection trip 'which will take In
three state egg-laying contests—Ok-
lahoma Missouri and Arkansas
They are expecting to visit at least
thirty poultry farms and hatcheries
on the trip
The Garber farm has produced
some chickens which have won prizes
all over the United States and has
entered some pens in these contests

gallons of kerosene well mixed and

keep the red mite off your mind for
the rest of the year
Water your laying bens and grow-

day during the coming months keep

and the hen can not do her best if
you neglect this important point
which takes only your time to supply
