HINTS ON POULTRY FEEDING
Quantity and Quality Of Food That
Would Suit One Fowl Might DO
Harm to Another.
tBy .. VAN BENTHuYsEN.l

CBy E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.)
There can be no set rules for feed
ing. Fowls, like human beings, vary
in appetite. The quantity and quality
Of food that would keep one fowl In
good condition might overfatten an.
other.
We must approximate the amount.
The quality must be determined up
on according to the object In view.
The plan adopted by the writer is to
give large spoonful of mash In the
morning for every two fowls In the
pen. The spoonful means about as
much as one would be able to pick AZ
In the hand.
At night full handful of mixed
grains for every fowl in the pen 70
about all they can eat and that amount
viii carry them over in comfort until
the next morning.
But when 1t Is noticed that the fowls
do not readily clean up their allow.
ance the next day the amount should
be cut down and continued so until
the appetite is fully restored.
Some fowls can not only exist but be
prolific on almost half what would be
needed for others. When this Is no
ticed In pan 1t is advisable to cut
down their allowance to meet the de
mand.
Sudden changes In the bill OF fare
very often throw fowls OF their appe.
lite. We knew Of q little experience
in that line q short while ago. A feE
low poultryman purchased a lot Of
sweepings from the grain elevators.
These sweepings contained wheat,
corn. fiaxseed. bran and middlings.
The fowls did not take kindly to the
mixture and the result was there was
general decline in the egg crop. Just
as soon as the old bin OF fare was ~
sumed the egg yield increased and ID
still keeping up good record.
The moral Is. when your fowls are
doing well on your present method Of
feeding. do not make = change.

The nation needs more meat to feed
its increasing millions. The United
States in 1906 exported 5S4, 2S9 head
OF cattle. In 1910 our expectation had
decreased to 1Ss.4s2. During the last
six months of 1918 there were i'm
ported into this country 20,OO0,000
pounds of dressed meat, and during
the first eight months of the present
year 100.00O,O0O pounds were import
ed. The opportunity presented to the
South today to raise the beef for the
nation that Is now being raised In
other countries is as great and as pro-
ductive of prosperity as that which
the great western states have enjoyed
for many years in producing beef,
pork. lard. hay, oats. etc. for the
South.

borne in mind that no account Is taken
of the value of manure for improving
the mechanical condition and drainage
of soils, consideration fully as Inn

It is fair to assume that at least
one-third of the value Of the manure
is annually lost through careless meth

is conservative. Even at this figure
