ANIMAL FOODS
Some Facts About the Winter Feeding
Of Meat and Bone.

Some Facts About the Winter Feeding
Of Meat and Bone.
Chickens eat a large amount OF ami
NAL matter In the form OF insects,
worms and other low forms OF animal
life when allowed to range at viii. II
the poultry keeper Is to get the best
results IN winter he must furnish q
substitute for this class Of food. For
this purpose green cut bone. meat
scraps and animal meal may be used.
Green cut bone is usually fed by II
self. while the scraps and meal may
be readily mixed with the mash. Cut
bone consists OF green or fresh bone
sliced or shaved into thin pieces by
bone cutter. Bones fresh from the
butcher have more or less meat adher.
ing. and the more OF such meat the
better. for the combination OF bone and
meat IS excellent for egg producing.
when a good supply OF fresh bond
can be obtained regularly It Is very
useful but It cannot be kept sweet fol
such long periods as beef scraps and
animal meal Green bone should be
fed carefully and IN sweet conditionl
otherwise bowel trouble may be the
result
One pound a day is sufacient FOR
, twenty hens. but not over one-half
pound should be fed to that number
when beginning TO feed II.
From one-haif to three-fourths pound
OF animal meal or meat scraps may be
fed to twelve or fifteen hens. Any
] form OF meat ia likely to loosen the
bowels Of the hen when first fed, and
the hens should be watched carefully
and not fed too much. After the bow
els have become accustomed to the an
inal meal or meat scraps It may be
kept before them constantly.
