ing is to allow plenty of bulky food, and
to give each hen an ounce of raw, chopped
meat in the morning and whole oats at
night. A few grains of wheat or corn may
be scattered in litter, in order to induce
them to scratch, which will be beneficial,
but grass may be fed freely. There is no
advantage in breaking an Asiatic from
sitting, but the best way to break her is
to place her on a grass plot or in yard
and compel her to hunt for her food. A
box may be allowed her at night, which
should be removed during the day, unless
in damp weather. The object should be
to get her at work, and reduce her in
flesh. Iffood is scarce in the yard, few
oats at night may be given. II all breeds
are kept together, some of the hens will
lay while others will not, for the reasons
given above. 1t is best, then, to keep
only one breed, so as to give all the hens
the same management. 1t is one thing to
feed the small, active Leghorns, and
something different to manage the large,
INDECENT Brahmas and Cochins. If the
habits and charact eristics of the several
breeds were carefully observed the poul-
TRUMAN would soon be able to manage
for the best results.

finenent year after year at cost OF 60
cents per head annually, or cents each
per month, paying 60 cents bushel for
corn, 40 centsfor oats and $l.25 per 100
pounds for various kinds Of ground mixed
feed. On the other hand, the cost of
fowls at liberty, where they had plenty of
grass, has been less than 48 cents-nearer
36 cents-annually, and their egg record
far excelled those deprived OF grass. The
only rule as to how much a chicken
should befed at one meal is to throw only
as much to it as it will scramble for and
eat eagerly, and as soon asst peeks about
indifferently stop the supply at once.
Feed twice a day, giving ground feed
mixed up warm in the morning, and
whole grain, corn, wheat or oats just be-
fore roosting time. Loghorns at liberty
will average 100 eggs each, and they will
not consume over 60 cents worth at the
very INSTRUMENTATION, and this, atonly
1 cent per egg, leaves $1 profit from each
fowl annually"
The great difficulty in feeding is to
know what to give. The two principal
substances are nitrogen, for flesh, albu-
men, ETC., and carbon, for fat The nj
trOgenous foods are meat, beans, clover,
and, to a certain extent, the grains. The
carbonaceous foods are corn, fat meat,
grease, rice, etc. If a hen is fat she needs
no food excelling in fat. Hence, finely cut
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-04-16

clover hay, scalded in the morning, with
a tablespoonful of meat at night, is better
for egg production than grains. If the
hen is poor give some grain at night.
All foods however contain fat, and some
nitrogen. 1t should be borne in mind
that the more quiet and sluggish the dis
position the less corn or heating food is
required A laying hen should never be
fat, for the accumulation of fat is injuri-
Gus to reproduction. If too fat, the hen
cannot lay. She becomes egg-bound,
breaks down, and soon proves unproduc-
tive. Any breed of fowls that are active
foragers, and are laying, may be fed all
they will eat, but il the hens are appar-
emily in good health, but do not lay, feed
no corn; give plenty of meat and allow
bulky food, or they will become fat too
quick. Ii fed heavily, hen will either lay
or fatten in very short time, and if the
hens are Asiatics, and cease to lay, the
feeding must be done cautiously. 1t is
even better to starve them down to a
poor condition rather than allow them to
become too fat The best mode of feed

White Crested Black Polish.

The accompanying cut represents the
White Crested Black Polish breed of
fowls. They are exceedingly handsome
birds, and have no superior as to style
and beauty, and a fine bred specimen
cannot fail to attract the attention Of
the most unobserving of the fea thered
race.
They are non-setters and excellent lay
ers. Their crests and ear lobes are white
and their plumage and legs black. The
comb is very small, and in form like the
letter " Some lave no comb at all.
They are by no means q new variety, in
fact are older than most any other stand
ard breed, but OF late are becoming more
popular. They always attract their share
of attention in the show room, and as an
ornamental and useful breed combined
they have no superior.

appetites. or eat the same quantity of
food, the question is not one easily an
swered. Four ounces of solid food per
day have been given as an estimate for a
hen one day, which is intended not only
for the supply OF eggs, but for nourish-
ment and repair of waste of tissue. A
hen not laying requires less. There is
quite difference in the habits and char
acteristics of the several breeds, and that
which will prove successful with some will
fail with others. Leghorns, when laying,
may be fed as much as they will eat,
and they will seldom become too fat, but
the Brahmas cannot be so treated. AS
has been stated, a hen seldom begins to
set until she becomes very fat, and it is
this popularity of the non-setting breeds
-inaptitude to fatten-thatinduc them
to refrain from setting.
The Southern Cultivator, in abiding to
feeding, says: GIN regard to the cost OF
feed required for one hundred fowls at
one meal, that can best be arrived at by
taking the cost for one month or one
year. The writer has kept fowls in con-
