To do this we secured 55 Vi- Cross pullets about five months old which we put into our two laying pens. These pens are iden- ticial in construction except one is somewhat larger than the other. So to give equal floor space per bird we 'placed 30 birds in the one pen and 25 birds in the other. The birds had been hatched the same day in the same hatchery, had been raised on the same farm and as far as we were able to judge were all of high quality. The two feeds chosen were, sold by the same local feed company. At first they were fed laying mash along with scratch grain, but later this was replaced with the hatching ration to meet the requirements of the Lakeview Hatchery, who purchased our eggs. The No. 2 feed was of uni­ form consistency and the flock on this feed had much better ap­ petites throughout, cleaning up both scratch grain and mash with enthusiasm. The flock on the No. 1 feed showed a lack of interest in their scratch grain throughout and we had difficulty in getting them to as we thought they ate the fresh mash iasm picking out ground portion, but cult to get them to finer portion. Thus parison we find the No. 1 birds ate more mash than the No. 2 flock but a smaller total con­ sumption of feed. I feel that the birds liked the coarser portion of the mash so much that they ate this in preference to the scratch grain and the finer portion of the mash. On the other hand the No. 2 fed birds would have eat­ en much more scratch grain and had this been supplied the feed eat as much should. They with enthus- the coarse it was diffi- clean up the in the com- cost might have been reduced; but also the egg production might have been less, The birds were purchased on October 1 and were cared for by the Grade IX boys, four being assigned the task of caring for the birds each week. They fed scratch grain morning and night, mash in the morning and again at night if necessary, thered and marketed the eggs. They also _ ' twice a day. As dropping pits and deep litter were used, no clean- ing was needed. The health of the flock was quite good. In the No. 1 pen we lost one bird due to an internal hemorrhage while in the No, 2 we lost three birds. At the end of the project the liens, were sold as meat. Both flocks were in nice condition. The average weight was almost identical, all the carcasses were iilaced in A Grade. The company were ex­ tremely generous with us paying 38 cents a pound for the heav­ iest birds. Both pens gave good produc­ tion throughout regardless of the fact that they had inexperienced caretakers and a very dull win­ ter. One bird was broody in the No. 1 pen and was very persis­ tent. We had no cannibalism and very little feather picking. Thus I think we can give credit to the breed for hardiness, productivity and adaptibility.
