NEW HAMPSHIRE HENS
DO WELL ON OATS
In a two-year test by the Ken
tucky Agricultural Expnment
Station to determine the merits
of various grains and gram mix
tures for poultry, it Was found
that New Hampshire hens fed oats
as the grain ration produced the
most eggs and had the lowest
mortality rale. Similar group of
hens fed corn alone as the gram
feed had .the lowest egg produc
tion rate, t'he highest mortality,
and required the most feed to pro
duce a dozen eggs Othr gram
mixtures used in the Kentucky
experiment were half corn and
half oats, and half corn, one
fourth oats and one fourth wheat,
both of which mixtures compared
fa\ orably with oats alone in the
production and feed conversion
but mortality was higher Deaths
from cannibalism were found to
oe greater among the hens fed
corn alone and for those fed a
mixture of corn, wheat and oats
dition _
Temperatures during the week
ranged from a high of 91 in Mid
dletown Friday to the low of 29 at

Between 700 p m. Friday and
