tho,selection Of food and the times Ger
tain kinds should be given, and why
they are more suitable at one season

Fowls require food for nourishment,
after they have ceased to grow, and any
amount beyond the bodily requirements
that IS given goes TO form fat or eggs.
Careful experimenting by intelligent
poultry men has proved beyond perad-

are also some foods that will help egg
production, they have such fattening
tendency that 1t becomes necessary to
use them sparinglyi otherwise the hens
