Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lis, Or Oct 17. The college bred hen
0-453, which on Wednesday last com
pleted a year of laying by depositing
her two hundred and ninety-first egg.
broke, by an Increase of nine eggs, the
world's record, made In 111 by a Ca
nadian hen, The mark-was also 10 eggs
more. than that of tha former American
champion, a product of the . Missouri
experiment station. The new 'champion
is a direct cross between a fiyraoutn
Rock and a White Leghorn. ;
There are several features worthy or
note In the work of the Oregon hen.
Previous te this time, for Instance, all
experiments. have been carried on under
the most Intensive conditions. Five or
six hens In a flock, and a large number
or riocKa to work wttn, nave constituted
tne materials .with which other breed
era have -labored. No commercial ven
ture could be carried - out Upon such
lines. To prove that a record-breaking
hen could be - raised 1 under tha condi
tions -of tha ideal commercial culture,
Professor Dryden, head of the poultry
department or the Oregon Agricultural
college, outlined the system of breeding
followed, resulting in the production of
a marvelous iowi, unaer- ma usuai
methods of oaraand feeding.
, . Feeding and general cars must be
gooduln order' to produce the best re
sults. There were no valuable or dainty
foods given tha flock with, which the
experiment was carried on. Only the
common feed given all the hens at the
Oregon station was . set before them.
This consisted mainly of a moist bash,
fed in the morning. Two or three times
a week this was moistened with butter
milk, -the other days with water. .Whole
grains, Willamette valley oats and east
ern Oregon wheat; green feed, such a
kale and sometimes clover; and animal
food, consisting of beet scraps, kept be
fore them continually, -completed the
diet given the f look. v. ;The important
nnr tit th ImmAln Was not in the kind
of food fed, but In the banner Of feed
lag. The ration was an- Oregon ration,
low Sliced, and one suitable to the puree
of every poultry raiser In the state. Nr1
excessive amount of labor .was expends J
in the care of. the flock. "v
Fifty hens constituted the flock. from
October 16, 1912, until June, 1913. From
that time on there were but 40 hens In
the. pen. The colony house was merely
a movable house, costing about 125 to
build, 7x11 feet in diameter, 'with one
end entirely open, for ventilation. This
type of house has been, used by , the Ore
gon station for-several years, - and has
been recommended for use of the Ore
gon poultrymen, 1 for commercial use.
The running pen was about 60x100 feet,
roomy, but still : not free, '.range, y A
small scratching shed was made out of
cheap limber, to keep the fowls busy,
both house and shed -were moved twice
onto fresh ground. r'.. ;.'.,-. : V
Another feature of interest is that the
Oregon ben- began laying when but five
and one-half months.-old.' She was
hatched von April 29,' 1911, and began
laying on October IS. The eggs were
larger than the eggs of - the bens oa
most of the other experiments, averag
ing about two ounces each. In the 11
months she laid Is pounds of eggs, or
about nine times the weight of her own
body. , ,v--..; ;y. -u vt :
