WATER IS A FACTOR IN E6C PRODUCTION A number of pens which had been furnished water at all times were given water only once each day, all they would drink, then the water removed. The results were that the egg yield was re duced 50 per cent. fhi9 reduc tion was the same in the differ ent varieties, A pen of sixty White Leg horns, composed of old and young, consumed 11-2 gallons of water daily during the warm weather. This would indicate that the average farm flock of 100 to 120 birds should be fur nished at least 5 gallons of water per day. Laying hens frequent ly consume 8 ounces of water daily. This means 1 galion to 16 hens daily. From the hen’s viewpoint, water is worth just as much as feed, for she cant make an egg. with either one alone. There fore, the man who furnishes high priced but neglects the water supply, is making a great mistake and will havi to content with an limited egg yield. At present prices and weather conditions, hens consume about 6 gallons of water to each $1 worth of feed. Therefore, if the feed is worth $1 to the hen the water is also worth $1. The value of water to the hen is shown by the many uses to which it is placed. First, water is used to soften the food ready for digestion. Second, water in the form of blood acts as a common carrier and carries the nourishing parts ot the food from the digestive I organs to tissues where needed and carries worn-out or exhaust ed to the different organs to be eliminated from the body. Third, water is important as a factor in egg production, as it enters into the composition of the egg as well as the hen’s body, the egg being about 75 per cent water. Fourth, water is important in equalizing the temperature of the hen’s body, which is done in two ways. First, cold water lowers the body temperature, while warm water holds the temperature high. For this rea son we give hens cold water in summer and warm water in the winter. The second method of cooling is by exaporation, which is a cooling process. The temper ature of the human system is re duced by the evaporation of sweat from the surface of the body, but with the towl the evaporation takes place princip al! through the breathing organs which accounts for the hen hold ing her mouth open and breath ing rapidly on a hot day. Observations of experiments conducted at this Station lead us to believe that the first three uses of water are very much the same at all times and that the wide range in the daily consumption of water is influ enced by conditions of the weather. The two lessons which stand out prominently as a result of experiments are; First, water is just as import ant as feed. Second, once or twice a day is not often enough to supply the water.
