Feeding- and Cara
of Laying Hens.
(Experimental Farms News)
When the first eggs are dropped
on range it Is time to prepare for
the housing of pullets, states 13. F.
Cheney, Head Poultryman, Dominion
Experimental Station, Eentville, N,S,
The birds should come Into clean
houses and should be kept free of
lice by treating the roosts with nico-
tine sulphate, Shifting over to the
laying mash that is to be used during
the fall and winter months should be
gradual. A supply of grit, limestone
or oyster shell along with plenty of
fresh water should be kept before
the birds at all times.
During the fall and early winter it
does not require much of a change in
feeding or management to upset the
birds, often resulting in a partial
moult with its consequent less of,
production. All stimulating feeding
practices such as the use of lights,
feeding wet mashes and giving extra
milk to drink should be withheld un-
til November when the birds are
most apt to have a,slump in produc-
tion. During the fall the birds are
building up their bodies as well as
producing eggs, so that extra scratch
feeding is indicated.
In order to get maximum results
the flock should be gone over each
month and undesirable birds remov-
ed. The remaining birds may be fed
all the plash and grain they will con-
suine. Birds that have beau bred for
production will turn the extra feed
into profits.
The value of extramilk for a flock
of hens should be more generally ap-
preciated. Milk helps to balance the
ration so that the farmer with mill:
available may secure a satisfactory
laying mash with a mixture of home-
grown grains by adding 5 per cent
iisli meal, 5 per cent beef scrap, obe
per cent fine salt and 2 per cent cod
liver oil, or by adding concentrates
as prepared by the feed companies.
This mash should be supplemented
by feeding clover or alfalfa leaves or
finely cut second growth clover or
alfalfa hay.
Old Milk Cans
May .Be Reconditioned
Even if old, damaged or rusty, milk
can may be reconditioned and put
into use again, Any .farmer who
doesn't need any mint cans he may
have, will probably know other far-
mers who would be glad to get then.
The used Goods Administrator,
Wartime Prices and Trade Board,
says that many discarded milk cans
are again going into circulation after
being retinned. Farmers can get the
names of retining companies from
any creamery and advice on how to
dispose of any surplus reconditioned
milk cans. Milk cans are in short
supply ,and due to the war new can
are difficult to get.

Save Paroteix When
Making Hay
As protein concentrates are al-
ways comparatively costly and just
now somewhat difficult to procure, it
is sound practice at any time, and
necessary at present to save all the,
protein possible in home grown
crops, One of the chief sources of
protein on the farm is ,in legume
hay crops, Good average alfalfa hay
contains about 14 pet cent of crude.
protein, Red clover contains about
12 per cent. Compare these with
other home grown feeds such as
timothy hay about 6 per cent,, bar-
ley grain nearly 12 per cent and
oat grain 12 per 'cent and the high
value of alfalfa and red clover is
quite apparent.
Protein is easily lost if hay is not
carefully handled, Early cutting is
necessary if the maximum protein is
to be obtained, Analyses at the Oen
tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
show that alfalfa cut at the recom-
mended stage just after bloom com-
mences, contained nearly 20 per
cent protein, while in bloom it con-
tained only about 17 per cent. Red
clover in the bud stage contained
just over 15 per cent and with heads
turning brown about 1114 per cent.
Timothy in the shot blade contained
over 9% per cent. protein and in full
bloom about 654. Cutting hay early
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Curing hay should be carefully
done under as favorable conditions
as possible. The leaves of alfalfa
contain on the average about 22 per
cent protein, while the stem contains
only 10 per cent. It is essential to
save as many leaves as possible, Ex-
periments have shown that under
the most favorable condtions about
17 per cent of the total weight of
alfalfa hay was lost, representing
more than 50 per cent. of the feed-
ing value. The hay should be part-
ially cured in the swath and when
still tough should be raked and the
curing finished in windrows. If con-
ditions permit the hay should be har-
vested from the windrow, This saves
protein and also conserves labor.
Under poor climatic conditions cock-
ing
ocking may be necessary. Exposure to
rains may result in as high as 60 to
70 per cent loss in protein as well as
large amounts of other nutrients.
Cut early and save carefully
should be the hay makers slogan.
Sergeant Eddie Watson is a cour-
teous doughboy. Ever mindful of the
censor who reads his mail, he stopp-
ed in the middle of a sentence re-
cently to interpolate:
'Excuse me. Lieutenant Leslie,
this is my wife. Honey, this is Lieu-
tenant Leslie -the censor."
Then he started a new sentence,
and as a nafterthought wrote:
"Crowded in here, isn't it, Hon-
ey?" -Prairie Farmer.
The newlyweds, in boarding the
train, tipped the porter generously to
keep their marriage a secret. Later,
in the dining car, they saw people
looking at them very strangely. "Did
you tell these people we were mar-
ried," they asked the porter. "Lan
sakes, uo. When they asked me is
you married, I said no; they just
good friends; that's all."
