JUST WHAT HENS EAT
Meat Is Usually in Form of Bugs

Considerable Studying and Expert
nentins Necessary to Find Out
What Fowls Need and How
Much They Should Have.
By KATHERINE ATHERTON
GRIMES.)

GRIMES)
The hen has three reasons for eat
ing: to repair the tissues OF her
body, to keep herself warm, and to
make eggs. 1t therefore follows that
her diet must be varied and plentiful.
II we open the crop of a hen that
has been allowed to eat just what she
pleased we will find that she has pre-
vided herself with three kinds Of food
grain, green stuff and meat. The
last named is usually in the form Of
bugs and worms.
We must. then, furnish our hens
with food of these classes. Moreover.
the quantity must be about right of
each. If they are not given enough,
they will have to use it all for body
building and heat production. and will
have nothing left over to make eggs
with II we feed too much of some
kinds the surplus will go to fat. and
the hens will get too lazy to lay.
1t takes considerable studying and
experimenting to find out just what
the hens need, and how much they
ought to have. but we must learn as
soon as we can. or we will find our

Oats sprouted to supply green food
when none ls growing in the open.
The arrangement Of the trays
shows sowing at week intervals.
Then trays can be slipped out and
placed in the poultry house az
needed.
poultry Is not so profitable as it ought
to be. The feeding question is one
of the most important in the whole
poultry business.
Experts tell us that hen needs
about six ounces of food a day. A
flock of ten, then. will need about
three and three-fourths pounds a day,
or a trihe over twenty-six pounds a
week.
OF this amount two-thirf,s by weight
should consist of grains. The grain
should be a mixture Of equal parts Of
wheat, cracked corn and cats. A few
handfuls Of sunflower seed. cane seed
or buckwheat should be added for va
riety. They are to the hen what pie
Is to the boy-and you know what
that is.
The other third should be mash.
which is mixture Of bran and other
finely ground feeds, usually fed dry.
Some poultrymen moisten the mash,
but the majority claim that it is bet
ter to feed it dry, and let the hen
moisten it in her crop By drinking
what water she wants. II fed dry
there is less danger from certain
kinds of disease.
A good formula for a mash is as
follows: One-half bushel Of bran. 4
quarts alfalfa meal, 2 quarts each Of
ground oats and corn meal, table
spoonful of charcoal, 1 pint of beef
scrap, l tablespoonful Of salt and l
teaspoonful Of pepper.
This furnishes both meat and green
food in about the right quantities.
Where these elements are given in
other ways the alfalfa meal and beef
scrap may be omitted from the mash.
These ingredients should be thor

time they want it. 1t is bulky food.
but not fattening one, so there is
no danger of their eating too much.
The bran is one Of the best condition
powders" poultry can have 1t keeps
the system vigorous and healthy and
furnishes large part Of the egs-mak-
ing elements.
The grain food should always be
thrown into deep little OF straw or
chaff, where the birds will have
to scratch for living" If you have
ever watched an old hen digging about
in the yard you will know that it is
as natural for her to dig as it is to
breathe.
Grit and lime, usually given in the
form of oyster shells, are two other
necessary elements. They should be
kept before the fowls all the time. A
very convenient hopper for feeding
the mash, grit and shells may be made
like the illustration, the compartment
for the mash being much larger than
the others.

$4,000 LIEF I
IN CITY BY
CHAPTER

That the grand chapter meeting of
the Order of the Eastern Star has
brought not less than $4,000 to
Grand Junction was the estimate of
prominent member of that order to-
day. Two hundred seventy delegates
are present, the majority of whom
are from the eastern slope. Eighty
six are from Denver. The visitors
will be here three days at minimum
expense of SO per day or 50 each for
the entire meeting. This totals about
$2,500.
1t is estimated that the visitors
from the section west of Leadyille
and north of Telluride who have
come here will spend at least 81 500
here while shopping as 1t is the rule
for ladies in coming to this city from
the smaller towns of the western
slope to do great deal of their fall
buying here.
Unusually prosperous business con-
ditione have been reported by busi-
ness men since the chapter has open
ed and particularly has this been
true of the ladies furnishing stores.
