Show Corn to Make Hen Lay. According to the experiments recently re-cently made at the Geneva station, by Mr. Wheeler, leghorn hens, confined, laid right along on corn and corn meal in preference to other foods, but not so with largo breeds. This shows the importance of feeding according to the breed. How much feed per day for the hens demands almost a a diagnosis to determine. The breed influences the yield, and he who keeps a flock of mixed mongrels will have to learn just what each hen requires. Corn is not so far out of the list of foods after all in the face of these experiments. Mr. Wheeler Is still at work and his results re-sults are open to any person, or to any journal, as tho station rules do not permit of any preference. For our part we are interested iu the Geneva experiments, as they will be invaluable invalua-ble in adding "more light" to the mysteries mys-teries of feeding |
