Dry Feed System for Chickens
Spreads; No More Wet Mash

The principle OF dry feed Is good
one and is being adopted by poultry
men everywhere IL conforms to ma
ture. as all fowls In the Wild state
live mostly upon grain. seeds, nuts
and grasses, while bugs and insects
form their animal food. III partridge,
quail and other wild birds thrive on
such fare. why shouldn't the domestic
hen?
By carefully conducted experiments
Il has been found that chickens
raised and fed on the old system OF
wet mash do not make 20 rapid or so
plump a growth as those reared on
the new or dry feed system. The wet
mash IL fed In too great quantities Is
left sour, and chickens eating this are
bound to be injured by II. Evil re-
suits follow and the flock is hampered
In its growth. On the other hand. dry
mash or grains do not sour and can
not possibly injure the flock, says
g. Symonds in Farm Journal.
Chickens, like young children, need
food often In order TO make the best
growth. II supply of dry mash and
grains is left where chicks can get at
II, they will satisfy their hunger and
make steady growth. ] know of sever
al cases where chickens are fed but
once a week. quantity o: dry mash
and grain is provided IN sufficient
amount to last a week. Fresh water
Is supplied once or twice daily. ! can
say from personal observation that |
never saw a healthier or better grow
ing flock than where this method was
followed.
A hopper is considered best for feed
ing dry mash and grains, for it allows
of but little waste Some poultry
keepers, however, use large, shallow
boxes for dry mash feeding. while 9th
ers prefer deep box SO that the
chicks cannot scratch II out and waste
IL.
A wet mash is apt to cause the
chicks to eat too much at one time
and thus gorge themselves. This
causes them to become logy and they
will lie idle for hours In the shade
rather than forage and get the much
needed exercise which Is so essential
to tfNir growth. A dry mash on the
other hand. will never tempt the
chicks to eat too much. They will
eat a little at a time. forage for bugs
and worms. and return half a dozen
times day to the dry feed hopper.
The dry feed system saves time and
labor. II is based on nature. Ii has
been proved successful Adopt II If
you would have the best results with
your flock.
