STAPLE FOOD FOR POULTRY
Grain Is Beneficial to All Farm Fowls,
but Variety Is Necessary for
Egg Production.

Grain is the staple food for poul-
try, and will De. used for that purpose
as long as fowls are kept on farms;
but hens can not give good results
on grain alone It is beneficial to
them and win be at all times rel
ished, but the demands of the hens
are such as to call for a variety. In
the shells Of eggs as well as their
composition are several forms OF min
eral matter and nitrogen, which can
only be partially obtained from grain.
Even grains vary in composition.
and when fowls are fed on one kind
for long time, they viii begin to re-
fuse it. as they may be oversupplied
with the clements OF the food par
taken and lack the elements that are
best supplied from some other source.
For this reason they win accept a
change of food, which is of itself
an evidence that the best results
from hens can only be obtained by
variety of food. Corn and wheat
may be used as food with advantage,
but must be given as a portion of
the ration and not made exclusive ar.
ticles of diet.

lures that can be so managed by the
skiiifui poultry keeper as to bring
good returns.
The basis of profit does not rely ur
on what branch Of poultry keeping on )
follows. There are chances in every
line. eggs, meat and fancy. The ordi-
nary profit secured in any one OF
these branches can be doubled. or
trebled, by the skill and intelligence
Of the caretaker.
The regular profit Of one dollar per
fowl seems to satisfy the average
poultryman This is wrong, for nc
one should be satisfied in any line OF
work, but constantly striving for bet
ter results and larger profits. Two
and three dollars per fowl is n possi-
BILE profit and is being attained by
some men in the poultry business to-
day.
The secret does not lie in the fowl
or the variety, but in the human
brain Let us all study more care

govern poultry culture. Let us strive
to increase the profit in our fiocks,
and thus each year set up a new

PROFIT DEPENDS UPON CARE
Incumbent on caretaker to Manage
Fowls In His Charge to Reap

The profit that is possible per fowl
Is mainly dependent upon the care

Fruit Grower. It Is up to him to SO
care for the fowls in his charge as to
reap the greatest reward. He must
apply his intelligence 70 study the de-
tails that are so essential in egg pro-

caretaker must be familiar with this
egg-machine in order to secure the
greatest profit per fowl
The variety kept has very little to
do with the possible profit per fowl. A
flock Of Plymouth Rocks may be made
to yield greater returns than a flock
Of Leghorns per capita. True it is
that some varieties are better egg pro-

that some varieties are better meat

One OF the three bills pending in
