Dangers of High Feeding.

Laying fowls must be provided with
fresh drink daily, and light diet for the
morning feed. The evils Of heavy feed

pullets, and older ones manifest The
weakness later as they come into laying.
Then complaints are heard of such dis
eases as cholera, etg,, when in reality the
fault lies In she previous feeding. OFT
entimes there are Complaints Jf finding
tue fowls dead under Che toost surne.

crops. At the same time The keeper

to obtain water either at the farmyard

Heavy feeding of corn alone will not
