Green Cut Bone and Bone Meal.

As an x forming food, meat and
corn are far superior - any other food.
A fair comparison between grain and
meat will show thai ground meat Is
cheaper than grain because II increases
egg production, and contains less
waste. The bones supply the albu
men. lime and grit and are less liable
TO make the hens too fat. One ounce
OF ground meat and bone may be al.
lowed TO each hen every other day in
the fall and winter months. Fresh
ground bone Is superior TO any pre-
pared beef scraps.
There Is no doubt about the value OF
bone meal or scraps for promoting the
growth OF young chicks. II should be
fed sparingly at first and / prefer 10
