One day she administered more

POPULAR FEED
FOR POULTRY
Most Common Method of Chicken
World Is to Supply Wet Mash
OF Some Sort to Fowls
Once During Day. -,
CRy c. E. BROWN


The most common method of feed
ing throughout the poultry world to-
day is to give a wet mash, OF some
sort to the fowls once day; whole
grain being fed in the morning and
evening Some people prefer to feed
the mash warm, and some cold, and
some feed 1t in the morning, some in
the middle of the day and others
give 1t for the evening meal. Our
preference Is to feed 1t at noon for
the reason that we want to make the
hens scratch in the early morning for
the whole grain in the litter. to keep
themselves warm and when In the
middle Of the day 1t is warmer and
the hens naturally want a rest. we
give them the mash. The chief OBJ
lection to the evening mash Is that
full crop Of It will not last them
during the long winter nights 80 well
as whole grain, as 1t Is so often com
posed of such a bulky mixture. Care
should be exercised in not over-feed
ing on the wet mash. The hen'
should not have more than they vii
eat up clean in ten minutes.
A good mash for the farmer Is al
follows:
Equal parts Of finely ground corn
oats, bran or shorts. mixed will
about ten per cent. Of cooked meat
green cut bone of beef scraps. Thes'
foods are mixed up dry and thel
thoroughly mixed with about one
third their bulk Of STEPPED Glove
leaves or finely cut clover which ha
previously been scalded by pourin
hot water on 1t and covering 1t wit
a sack. The clover should be steepe
about twelve hours before using. Al
other method and one Of the best "
have tried Is to take mixture OF ~
pounds bran. 100 pounds shorts. 10
pounds ground corn. 100 pound
ground oats. 100 pounds beef scrap
and ten pounds of charcoal. Slight
moisten this with water when feedin
! to the fowls, but never make
