The hen without an appetite ls a shirk In the poultry flock. It Is that last 10 or 20 per cent of feed that the hen consuml'S wtrlcb fills the egg bas· ket, while all the rest Is used to main· talp the bird, declares R. E. Cray, ex· tension specialist in poult1·y for the Ohio State university. The trick in forcing birds to lay more eggs Is in the lnduc!ng them to eat more feed. Cray has five suggestions for boosting feed consumption by fowls in their winter quarters. '.fhese are: Use artificial Ughts during the winter months so that the ben will have more time to eat. However, if feed consumption Is not increased, lights are of no benefit. l<'eed the largest part of the grain at night. This has a tendency to keep the birds hungry during the day and they consume more mash. An{! feed the grain In hoppers rather than ln the litter. Provide a sufficie-nt amount of mash· hopper space, one foot for five or six birds. There are always timid birds In the flock that won't eat unless tbe1•e is plenty of hopper space. l<'eed f1·esh mash every day. When the hoppers are filled with a sufficient quantity to last several days, the bens pick it over and ·eat what they like best ; when they reach the lea 'l"ings, feed consumption and egg production both slump. Use a wet ma,;h. Just as a boy will eat more bread when there Is jelly on It, so will a hen eat more mash when it ls moistened with milk. Feed mash t11e same time each day. In Wintering Breeding Geese Watch the Feed It ls not the lack of exercise rl!re<'t· ly that causes t1·ouble In wintering breeding ~eese. Exercise Is probably , slightly beneficial, but lack of it does not entirely account for lowered vital· Jty. health and fertility. The common feeds for wintering geese are almost entirely farm grains, corn, wheat, oats and barley. Little else is commonly fed. When the ground Is bare or nearly so they will supplement such a ra· tion by means of grass, dead and partly dead, and hay leaves and stems If allowed around the barns and feedJot.~. Given no chance at legume hay, they will strip off and eat the more tender leaves of corn fodder. Geese are normally foraging fowls making the bulk of growth and gal~ from grass and other green feed.
