DRY OR WET MASH.

Twelve of the best were picked out as egg-producing type. These were equally divided, and put in two adjoining runs, exactly the same in cveiy particular. Before beginning to 'take tlie recordsrthe six birds to be fed on dry mash were fed on this food for six weeks, in-order to ;' get them accustomed to it. The records have, been-taken from April Ist last,' and the test will conclude on March 31st next, and this will be the fairest; and most thorough test yet made in' regaxd- to- dry--versus' moist-mash feeding.
