toned ont to them They are just IN

Canadian Method of Feeding.
The Canadian method of feeding
has been one of the best and most
satisfactory. and the hens are making
good record on it. In winter the
grain mixture is composed Of two
thirds corn and One-third wheat
thrown into the straw litter; in sum
mpr lust the reNerSe-tWC- thirds
wheat and one-thiTd corn; spring and
fall. they are given in equal parts.
About pint to ten hens is fed i'll
the morning and little bit more a.
night Rolled oats are fed from "
hopper. The hens are also supplied
with the necessary grit charcoal, etc.
and some wholesome green stun.
They are given nothing to drink eN-
cepr the buttermilk. 1t is our opinion
that makes one of the best rations
which can be arranged for the farm
ers' use and is about as simple az II
can be made and still get the best
results. The director emphasizes the
importance of good. clean, wholesome
feed for the young and growing
chicks.
After chicks are six weeks old they
should be fed scratch feed OF
cracked corn and cracked wheat, IN
equal parts II they are on free
range. this is fed in a hopper: if con
fined 10 yards it should be fed in
clean litter 10 induce exercise. When
fed in the litter il should be sitted to
prevent waste Of the fine stuff.

lowing dry mash: Eight parts bran,
four parts cornmeal, four parts mid
dHngs. two parts fine meatscrap, oae

pr. the director insists that eternal
vigilance is the price OF success In ne
poultry business.
These experiments are carried on
bv Mr. Quisenberry, one of the most
conscientious men the writer has ever
known. and we feel that they are
absolutely correct In his judgment,
and If the average farmer will study
these conditions with view to be-
.ering his poultry conditions he viii
surely be benefited.
