FEED FOR GROWING PULLETs
Fowls Should BE Compelled to Work
for Anything They May cet-Purs
Water 10 Essential.

When 1t is necessary to move the
chicks from the brooder house to
quarters where they may be properly
developed, they should be given a
large tract of ground where they can
get all the exercise that is SO essen
tial to their development. They
should be made to work for all the
things that they get, excepting one
feed each day, that is given them
about four p. m. OF course, this plan
will not succeed If they are placed
in a bare field where there is no
green food for them, and where there
is almost no chance for them to Sc
cure any bugs and worms.
A mixture OF two-thirds wheat and
one-third cracked corn is given them
in the afternoon at the time men
toned above, and this should be fed
in sufficient quantities so that they
will all have enough. If any is left
over, the pullets will make short work
OF it in the morning. Each colony
house is furnished with hoppers that
are filed with large quantity OF
mash, and these hoppers are never
allowed to become empty. A hopper
for grit, charcoal and oyster shell is
also in each house, and the same care
should be taken that these are kept
filled. The section containing char.
coal is particularly important, as this
is one of the. best medicines that are
used in the poultry yard.
Pure water is also essential, and
should be carefully watched. 1t would
'be a good plan to sprinkle a small
amount OF lime near the door of each
house. Another good plan for the
health of the flock is to put a small
amount of salt, carefully ground with
no Jumps, in the mash about once
each week,-R. v. B.

bowels. Water is the principal con-
stituent of the flesh. bones, feathers
and eggs of fowls. and necessarily
large quantities of 1t is consumed

that the water supply Is not only
pure but fresh.

Corn Fodder,

Feeding experiments show little al
vantage in shredding corn fodder over
feeding whole corn stalks. The cattle
reject almost an equal amount of the
shredded fodder, and what is gained
is in convenience in handling plus
the amount of waste in the field from
Neathering and blowing away. 1t

are far the most important, and these
