Figured in dry matter the Plymouth Rocks ate about 86 pounds and the Wyandottes 75 pounds. This means that the food eaten by the Plymouth Rocks contained 48 pounds of water and the Wyandotte ration 37 pounds water This large proportion of water in the food was due to heavy mash feed ing, the mash constituting more than half the weight of the weight of the ration, as may be seen by the following table, which gives the weight of each kind of food consumed per f owl: Plymouth Rocks AVj'andcttes Mash 372 lbs. 269 lbs. 71 lbs. 102 lbs. Corn 18 lbs. 38 lbs. 11 lbs. 1 lb. 36 lbs. 33 lbs. 22 lbs. 4 lbs. 39 lbs. 45 lbs. Total 569 lbs. 492 lbs. Average per fowl 134 lbs. 118 lbs. The mash was made up as follows; Plymouth Rocks Wyandottes V 186 lbs. 136 lbs. 81 lbs. 80 lbs. 20 lbs. 12 lbs. 22 lbs. 31 lbs. 12 lbs. 11 lbs. 13 lbs. 12 lbs. 10 lbs. Beans. 8 lbs. 4 lbs. 2 lbs. 1 lb. Total 372 lbs. 269 lbs. From the experiments at the Utah Station, which covered a number of years and a great many pens of different breeds, it may be concluded that the equivalent of about 60 to 65 pounds grain per foul per year for the small breeds, 85 to 90 pounds for the general purpose breeds,and 100 to 110 pounds for the meat breeds, rep
