Feeding Bran

Mrs c. s. Evcrts. Ridgcland. Miss.

seem TO like it better than when

From the grocer we procure

cs long and put the bran in these,
but some inquisitive hen was
sure to get in It and scratch and
waste considerable. So we nail
ed laths all around the top Of the
box on the outer edge letting the
width Of the lath extend inside.
This effectually prevents any
bran from being scratched out,
but does not in the least inter.
ferc with their eating it. When
we feed meat scraps or cotton

bran. We feed the bran at the
time we give the morning meal

method of picking gets the good
results its advocates speak of.
The method is as follows:
Plunge the fowls as soon IS
dead into a pail of boiling water
that has been tempered with a
pint and a half of cold water.
Soak for about a minute. The
feathers can almost be brushed
off. Bv starting with a given
quantity Of boiling water and
using a given quantity of cold
water to temper it, one will by a
little experience learn just what
is the best temperature in the
water to make the feathers let
loose easily without injury to
the skin Of the fowl. Working
with certainties is always more
satisfactory than working by
guess, and therein il where
much Of the advantage of this
plan lies. II one picks fowls for
market it is of much advantage
to get the work done right, since
the fowls will look more inviting
and help in making sales.
