Scatter Equal Parts Of Cracked Corn.
Wheat and Oats In LItter-Maks
Hens Exercise.

In order to obtain eggs It is neces-
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 scattered
in the litter
Bran or middlings and beef scraps
should be kept in receptacles to which
the fowls have access at all times.
Plenty Of exercise increases the
egg yield.
Provide four or five inches of good.
clean litter in which to scatter the
grain.
Cabbages. mangels. potatoes, sprout-
ed oats. etc.. make excellent green
feed.
When wet mashes are fed be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may
be fed a 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 milk out of the
bread. From the third or fourth day
until the chicks can eat wheat and
cracked corn. commercial chick feed
is q good ration.
Plenty Of pure. fresh water, grit,
shell. and green feed should be avail
able from the first day.
There IL very little danger of over.
feeding young stock.
Feed the chickens about i've times
daily md only what they will eat up
clean in a few minutes. except at
night. when they should receive all
they want.
