FOOD FOR POULTRY.
According to Recognized Authority 81
Pays to Cook H..

Pays to Cook ~.
How 10 feed well and the same time
economically is often the question with
people who must make their fowls pay
in dollars and dimes. as well as in
pleasures and recreation. And even the
wealthy fowl-owners are not averse to
having their fowls pay for their
food and care. even il they arc
not expected to pay for their
expensive houses and fancy runs.
With persons living east OF the
Rocky mountains corn must always con-
tinue to be the cheapest food. but it has
been Objectionable as a constant food
on account Of its fattening properties.
We believe by cooking the corn whole
until quite soft and swollen to the
fullest extent that a flock OF hens may
be kept in good laying condition when
fed corn almost exclusively. We have
been experimenting with corn. boiled
very soft. roasted and parched until
well baked through and very little
fed in its natural state. aud find our
hens laying splendidly upon IT, They
have bxen fed rs much as they care TO
eat were running upon good grass
run, and fed no other kind of dry or
green food. This food, we may say, Is
very cheap. costing fifty cents per
bushel. and kept the hens in finer con-
dition and at less cost than any thing
else that we could feed.
Corn. oats and wheat are increased
almost double size by cooking. and as
u natural result the hens will not get
fat because they get only half as
much solid matter when fed cooked as
when fed dry grain They relish il
greatly. All soft foods and vegetables
make better food for fowls II cooked
or scalded well. II a large bottle and
plenty of water and fuel is accessible
it is very little trouble cooking the ra-
tiOns OF several hundred hens. IL only
q small flock is kept enough food can
be cooked in small dish or pan to dc
them a day. Cooked food should no;
be kept until sour and stale, but
should be fed sweet and wholesome.
We are satisfied that saving of near.
ly one-half can be effected by the
proper use OF water. steam and fire.
