SELF-FEEDER FOR POULTRY
Automatic Device Shown In lllustra.
tIon Allows Fowls to Balance
Their Own Ration.

With the automatic feeder herewith
illustrated, the fowls can balance their
own ration. 1t saves care and work
for the poultryman. In winter the
compartments should be kept filled
with crushed oyster shells, meat
scraps, cut clover and ground feed.
Grit can be kept in the feeder or fed
separately from smaller one-compart-
ment feeder, and whole grain should
be fed in straw to induce exercise.
In summer when fowls are on free
range, whole grains can be kept in the
automatic feeder instead OF the clover
and ground mixture.
1t can be made exactly Of the d.
mensions and plan in the cut, or the
idea can be adopted with modifica-
tions, writes ]. G. Allshouse in the
