When hot weather sets in it is good
plan to quit feeding corn to fowls and
feed oats or wheat screenings. Where
the fowls have full liberty and insect for
age is abundant, moderate feed in the
morning of wheat bran or dough is suffi-
cient to keep them in good laying trim.
This bill of fare might be varied by an
occasional feed of wheat or of ground
oats. Fowls that are confined in yard.
must in addition to other food have daily
rations of green food. 1t is good idea
to open the doors an hour or so before
sunset and let the fowls have pick at the
fresh grass outside their yard. and per.
haps catch belaled bug or two.
