mash was measured into the trough
and green feed was often given at the
same time, especially during the win
ter. Two or three times a week the
fowls were made to eat more of the
mash by mixing the dry mash with
some liquid to make wet mash which
was fed at the rate Of a handful for
every four birds.
At night, scratch feed was given
again and the birds were given all they
would eat to send them TO roost with
full crops. This method OF feeding
keeps the hens busy all day, gives
them good appetites, and supplies all
the feed they will use. They should
eat about twice as much grain or
scratch feed as mash.

REMEDY FOR sTUNTED FOWLS
AK Is Best Thing, as They Are Abso.
iutely Worthless-only Cure ls
That Of Pre4ention.

Questions are often received asking
what can be'done with stunted chicks.
and what is the reason for their be-
ing stunted.
Stunted chicks are almost invariably
the result of poor care on the part OF
the owner. Sometimes the fault eau
be traced directly TO the parent stock
being low in vitality, but II is usually
caused by the attendant being lax in
his care OF the stock.
The reason why late hatehed chicks
are often stunted and good for moth.
ing is that the owners fail to give
them the necessary shade aud protec
ton from lice. Badly ventilated sleep
ing quarters are very productive
source OF stunted chicks.
There can be no remedy for stunted
fowls, unless II be the AK. They are
absolutely worthless. The only cure
Is that of prevention. Give the fowls
plenty OF the right Kind of nourish
ing food, pure water, abundant shade
and afford the means of sufficient ex
ercise.
Occasionally a chick becomes stunt
ed because IL is placed in a broodel
or run with larger chicks which tram
pie It so much that it is given Sc
rious setback. Never mix broods o.
chicks Of different ages.
Good strong breeding stock ant

in addition to pasture. They made

Rape makes an abundant, palatable
growth and has a long grazing season.

Soy beans may be grazed from July

PREPARE FOWLS FOR MARKET
Attractive Appearance Of Bird Makes
IL Sell WelI-Fattenine Ration
Of Nebraska Station.

A little time and feed spent In put
ting extra weight on the fowls TO be
marketed not only means that many
more pounds 20 be sold. but It adds to
the quality and salableness OF the
fowls. Watch a customer in n meat
market selecting fowl for the Sunday
dinner and the fact will be demon
strated. A plump. well-rounded bird
may have toe much fat on its carcass
that Is, more than the average house
wife cares TO have on the fowl In pre-
pairing Il for the table-but a certain
amount Of grease is wanted, and this
fact. together with the more attractive
particular bird sell first, even though
the price may be considerably higher
than that Of its bOny neighbor.
