FEEDING CUT BONE TO POULTRY.
Some beginners in poultry raising have
gained "a wrong idea on the feeding of cut
bone to poultry and ara using dried bones
wherever they are obtainablc. These are
worse than useless for, unless the pieces
are sharp, they do not even answer for
grit. The bones fed to poultry should be
green bones; that is, bones from which the
meat has been recently cut and which
smell sweet; tainted bones are of no use
any more than tainted meat. The only
safe way of feeding the green bone Is to
have Il bone mill and get the bones from
the butcher so you will know that they are
fresh. 1t Is not easy work cutting those
green bones but 1t is worth the effort be-
cause they do laying hens Il lot of good.
Bone meal is offered In the market and
while some of it is doubtless good and all
that Is claimed for it. some OF it, VIC know
to our sorrow. Is worthless so to be on the
safe side do your own cutting.

business and willing to learn and able to
