Skim milk is used once or twice a day
to soak the bread in instead Of water,

Coarse, sharp sand should be put in

often forced to eat more grit than

Young ducks should be fed from

times began laying in a week
Do not let hens sit on the nests u
week or two and then try to brealI
them up. II is much easier to break
them at once the first time they re-
main on the nests at night, for they
are not very determined, and often
will not persist II kept up one day.
Then hens that are broken up al
once will go to laying sooner after
being broken up than those that are
left to sit week first. and you get
the week of extra work also.
