SALT IN THE POULTRY FOOD
No Living Thing Can Get Along En-
tirely Without II and Chickens
Should Have Food Sailed.

Many people labor under the I'M
preston that no salt should ever be
put into poultry food. simply because
highly salted food, such as salt fish
or picked meat, has sometimes killed
chickens. As matter OF fact, no liy-
1ng thing can get along entirely with
out salt in some form. Chickens can
always got salt in summer by eating
grass, which absorbs certain
amount from the soil. But In winter
Il is different. During cold weather
al prepared chicken food, such as
mnshos and boiled vegetables, should
b sailed in about the same proper
sion Ms for human food. II this Is
done. tho poultry will be healthier
md more productive.

tion when the size is planned. II
rectangular tank is to be used, the
proper dimensions can be determined
by consulting Table IL.
1t often happens that around a stock
tank there is mud hole. This can
be easily avoided by making a cement
platform around the tank extending
out six feet on all sides.
In making the forms for the tank,
the outside measurements OF the in.
side forms should be one inch greater
in both directions than the outside
dimensions of the tank. This is neces.
sary 10 avoid the possibility OF any
part of the tank being supported by
the floor proper. The outer edge OF
the floor should be one inch lower
than the edge surrounding the space
to be occupied by the tank. This pro.
yides drainage for water that is spilled
to be occupied by the tank.
The bill of materials shown above
IS for tank ten feet long and six feet
wide. The price OF such tank can
be easily computed BY local dealer.
