Feeding Corn to Fowls.

In feeding for winter laying, the frs
rule is that fowls VIII not lay when fed
on corn alone. The next thing is tc
know what, when, and how to feed
them. The ''feeding of whole corn ant
nothing else. does make weak fowls il
the spring. The fowls stop just short Of
producing eggs, while feeding corn with
other food brings better results. At the
same time fowls can not, or will not,
lay without the corn. AS stated before,
corn is the staple grain, and when kept
within their reach they will consume 8
less quantity than when it is thrown
daily to them with no other feed.
There is a difference between feeding
fowls for laying and for fattening. Yc1
a certain amount of fat is q necessity,
and they will regulate this matter them.
selves if allowed the privilege.
Nature in this case is the better
teacher. Where the first feed is given
with regularity in the morning, fowls
that are in health and well fed will not
fill the crops to repletion on whole corn;
but one that is half starved, or only sees
corn once or twice a day, will do it as
often rs the occasion offers. Vegetable
food, animal diet, and milk when it can
be afforded, are appreciated and re.
CURED by laying fowls. If these varied
diets are given, and corn is kept within
reach, they will take it a. nature or the
appetite prompts. If the corn is kept
from them, they are apt to overload
when it is given. For this reason poul.
try keepers should give in winter bath
animal and vegetable food, allowing
o-1,, n n ~ .,+;o,, ,S nov, 80 L.,
My meaning is to feed sufficient other
diets, SO that the fowl will not partake
too freely Of the corn. feed corn once
a day, and that at night, in cold
weather, when they will consume more
than in warm weather. Ii fed other
grains, which also are necessary for
egg-production, or buckwheat, the con.
sumption of corn is much less; still they
require some corn.
The object in feeding laying hens is to
produce strength without making at the
same time an excess of fat. There is
| also a difference in breeds. A rule
which would apply to one class of fowls
would not do for another. To non-sct.
tiers (Which are the continuous layers)
there is little danger of All owe feeding
of corn, if other food is given in sutl!-
Gent quantity and regularity. Fowls
should never be neglected when con-
fined; neither should they be stinted in
quantity of drink. To the Asiatics tho
rule of only a scant ration of corn once
a day might be applied, while the OPP
posite rule would apply to the smaller
breeds. The ''scant ration Of corn once
a day" is intended to apply to egg pro-
duction. In "winter-feeding Of fowls"
the keeping of corr within their reach
is ACKNOWLEDGMENT Gentleman.

How Headless BOOSTERS Are Made.

A short, stout man, with a red face,
stood before q Bowery museum thrash

A cold wind whistled over the pave

reporter, pausing before the Dime
