Fall Feeding Of Poultry.

As cold weather comes on, fowls that have
been running at large, 6ud their supplies Of
insect food partially cut of. Grasshoppers
are minus, and crickets becoming scarce, and
the chronological book is being closed up for
winter. Now, when chickens are not yet
grown, and adult fowls not recovered from
moulting, is the time when little animal
food will pay, if ever. Valuable chickens
will grow much larger and stronger, by a
moderate allowance at this time of year, Of
