In order to obtain eggs it Is necss-
sary to have healthy, vigorous stock,
properly fed.
A splendid mixture for laying hens
is equal parts Of cracked corn, wheat,
and oats, which should be ssatsered&
in the litter.
Bran or middlings c:ld beef scra9ss
should be Kept in rec 2taeles to which
the fowls have accecS at all times.
Plenty Of exercise increases tas

Provide four or five inches Of COED,
clean litter in which to scatter the
grain.
Cabbages, maagels, potatoes, sprout-
ed oats, ETC., make excellent green
feed.
When wet mashes. are fed be sure
they are erumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may
be fed mixture Of equal parts hard
boiled eggs and stale bread, or stale
bread soaked in milk. When bread
and milk are used, care should be ex'
ercised to squeeze all Elk ost of the
bread. From the third or fourth day
uatil the chicks can eat wheat and
cracked coEn, commercial chick feed
is a good ration.
Plenty of pure, fresh water, grit.
shell, and green feed should be avail
able from the first day.
There. is very little danger Of over
