OVERFEO AND UNOERFED HEN
Best Plan for Feeding Is to Watch the
Flock Carefully and See That All
Are Satisfied.

1t Is not possible to lay down hard
and fast rules for feeding, because of
the fact that different hens require
different quantities. The best plan is
to watch the flock carefully when feed
Ing to see that every hen gets her
share. The man who raises the feed
for his fowls is the one who is likely
to overfeed them. while the one who
buys his feed is likely to err in the
opposite direction. The only way one
can manage with any degree Of GER
tafnty is to try different quantities Of
food on the flock for a period long
enough to note results. It will pay
to weigh the hens in order to get ac-
curate results. When the proper al
lowance seems to have been reached.
feed accordingly and do not change
unless necessary.
