We started to feed our breeding pens with mustard in the Mash just at the time we desired them to come into eggs, and they responded at once. That is to say, after the Mash containing mustard had been fed to them for about a week, the egg output increased daily, and not only did it increase, but the high marks which were reached were steadily maintained. Four thousand layers have been fed mustard in their Mash daily, and after months of this feeding the flocks have never been in better health, and the egg production has never been equaled even on The Corning Egg Farm. The Mustard Bran is about twenty-five per cent. of the cost of table mustard. Mustard Maintains Health The experiment with mustard, with the eighteen hens, was carried on over a term of twelve months. We do not believe, however, that it is wise to feed mustard to the layers and breeders after June 15th, unless the early months of Summer should prove to be exceptionally cool. The mustard nourishes very strongly and puts an immense amount of red corpuscles into the blood, so that if continued into warm weather the hen is not in best condition to stand extreme Summer heat. It is not necessary to gradually decrease the mustard, but it may be simply cut right out of the Mash without any detrimental effect. Keep Appetite Keen The great thing, then, to be remembered, when one is feeding for eggs is constant watchfulness of the flock, to so feed that the appetite is always keen, but yet the necessities of the bird fully satisfied; to be most watchful as to the exercise the bird is forced to take for its grain ration, and to keep the litter deep. Right in this connection we may say, a deep litter does not necessarily mean one that is so broken up and packed together that the grain cannot readily sift through it. The litter straw should be constantly added to so as to offer a surface that the grain will readily sift through. [Illustration] For the past years, in feeding the layers, The Corning Egg Farm Mash was prepared on Sundays and fed exactly as on any other day of the week. With the increase of the work on the Farm it has been a study to lighten Sunday labor as much as possible.
