Bones fox* Poultry — ; « . The important question of f reßh bones for laying hens (saytj th.3 Progressive Fat.met) is the subject of much discussion. Enthusiasts claim so much for fresh cut bone that the earnest desire of practical poultrymen to know the truth of the matter has led to a careful investigation. The results have been very satisfactory, and the reason is so simple as to excite surprise that it was never thought of before. No intelligent- farmer would expect to reap a rich harvest who sowed the seed m poor and worn-ont soil. It is a fact that is well known that all plant life needs food, and the highest development is attained when its own particular kind of food is furnished. A hen has to find- the material to form an egg from the food she gets. If that food is rich m the egg con- stituents she lays well, but if lacking them she lays poorly. A chemical analysis of green bone shows that il contains every element found m the white, the yolk and the shell of the egg. This accounts for the. avidity with which green bone is devoured by the hen. Instinct) implants m alii animals a caste and desire for foods that are I suitable for them. A hen will leave a mess of any other nt any time for a mess of green bone. In summer, when allowed free range, bugs ' and worms supply this craving for animal food, and that is one reason why hens lay bettor m summer than m winter. During winter or when confined, bugs and worms cannot be had, and the hen has to wait days and sometimes even weeks to accumulate from the insufficient food supplied (insuffi- cient not m quantity bnb m egg-making elements) enough maiorial to make an egg- But when given a, daily allowance of green bone rich m every constituent , of the egg, the hen has no longer t o wait, each organ receives its pecessary^nourishment, the egg is formed quickly, and the hen has got to lay. It ia precisely the same principle as feeding the soil with fertiliser — it does not hurt the soil to enrich) it, neither does it hurt the hen to supply her natural cravings ; she is healthier, stronger and better m every way for it. So instead of trusting to blind chance, or luck, we invoke the aid of science and produce a living egg machine, just as science has. made 1 living milk machine of th« cow.
