FEEDING FOWLS.
How Much Feed Per Hen 10 the Proper
Caper?


Caper?
How much feed should hen be al
lowed SO as to give her enough and
yet not overfeed her? That is diff
cult question to answer, although it Is
frequently asked. Before attempting
to give an estimate for a ration we
will present the following points:
|. No two hens are alike; one will
eat more food than will its compan-
ious.
2. A hen that is producing eggs re-
quires more food than non-layer, and
yet the non-layers may secure the
larger share.
B. Brahmas are larger than Leghorns
and eat more food. One Brahma hen
may also eat more than another hen Of
the same breed.
4. Ahen may eat greedily to-day and
yet eat but little tomorrow. .Appetites
differ and vary with hens the same as
with humans,
$. A hen may eat largely of grain one
day and prefer some other food the
next day.
30. A quart of corn per day for ten
hens is the estimate, but If the hens
eat grass worms or other foods, the
amount must be deducted from the
grain. How can it possibly be done?
Z. A quart of corn per day may be
the correct amount for one flock of ten
hens, while another flock may consume
two quarts.
silt is, therefore, impossible to
measure out a certain quantity of food
as regular ration for flock, as the
amount Of food required can only be
known after the hens have eaten.
Q. The best way to feed is to give
about one-half as much as you may
suppose they may require in the morn
ing. Then scatter millet seed about
a tablespoonful in leaves and litter, so
as to make them work by scratching.
This will keep them warm, harden the
flesh and promote their appetites. At
night give them all they will eat.
I. When each hen has enough she will
i4walk away from the food. When the
iuob iiCl los nCG ulCdl.TcIuOVc
1.-THE food that is left over. In
other words weigh the food, give
it to the hens. and when each
hen has eaten, all having left the food,
weigh that which remains. You will
then know just how much dozen
hens will eat; at a meal. 1.-THE next
morning give only one-half as much as
they ate, so as to have them somewhat
hungry, and to induce them to scratch.
This is the only way to know much
food to give.
TO- Foods also vary, and it is not al
ways an easy matter to procure two
lots of foods that are alike in quality,
and no two hens will eat the same
amount of food nor the same kind as
readily as they will other foods.
H. The point is not to overfeed.
This is where the most, mistakes are
made. When,a hen is overfed she be-
comes lazy and sluggish, is subject &c
indigestion, becomes too fat, and will
lay but few eggs Soft-shell eggs OF
double-yolk eggs indicate that hens
are overfed..
~. Keep sharp grit before the hens
Also keep a cigar-box filed with
: ground bone mot bone meaD where
: they can help themselves. If you want
eggs, reduce the grain supply and give
more lean meat and cut clover hay
sealded. Bran, middlings, milk, cab
bage, potatoes, etc, or any variety OF
food, win also be an advantage. -Poul
