FEED CHICKENS IN SUMMER
Grain is Needed in Summer if You
Want Eggs.

The very common opinion that
farm focks need no grain feed in sum
mer is seldom warranted. The farm
range is valuable, and there is no place
where eggs can be produced as eco
nomically, but there are few tlocks
that will not improve in egg yield if
given at least one feed daily,
1t ought not to he difficult to de
termine whether more feed is needed.
something depends on the size OF the
flock and the range. but the egg yield
will tell, There is only one probable
explanation for farm hens failure
10 lay eggs in summer, and that is
lack OF feed Occasionally it is due to
a lack OF the right kind OF feed but
generally if the hens have one feed
daily of any grain they will give good
results
Wheat. barley and oats are the prac-
teal summer grains. but il little care
is used and some meat. corn is very
good. Whatever grain is used il is
genuine economy to give the hens ac-
cess to dry bran. An open shallow box
viii do IL WOW haven't time to make a
regular feed hopper No poultrvman
or farmer is feeding to the best advan
tage who does not feed bran.

This breed represents the type that
is suitable for the largest production
