POULTRY YARD NOTES.

Several hundred pounds of mash can h
mixed on stormy days and stored foA
future use The labor of feeding then
flock is reduced to a minimum. since
and made large enough to hold several
days supply. II the mash hopper IN
located so that the contents will keep
dry IL cannot sour and cause digestive
disorders There is never any crowd
ing for the feed. as the birds are at
liberty to help themselves at all times.
If the definite quantity OF whole grains
is fed morning and evening the poultry
keeper can be absent without vorry as
to whether the birds have been fed
properly There are never any waste or
left Dry ground grains keep
sweet until every particle fs consumed
The advantages and disadvantages of
the two systems have practically no
bearing on the question of which one
the feeder should choose. Each system
supplies the needs of the fowls In dr.
the two is largely a matter OF condi-
tions under which the poultry Is kept.
For general purposes the writer be-
lieves that the moist system should be
followed by poultry-keepers who have
small hocks. IN order that every bit of
clean waste from the kitchen may be
utilized to the best advantage. Tho dry
mash system is recommended for farm,
fiocks, large suburban hocks and COM
mercfal poultry farms.
In our present effort to supply tho world
with food every consumer who becomes a
producer is doing his or her share to help
win the fight. This share may be ever
so small for the individual. but IL every
home that possibly can will keep a dozen
or more hens the aggregate increase in
poultry products for the country will be
enormous. This is a form OF patriotic
service Of vital importance. Government
officials tell us there Is an annual waste
OF $700,000.00 in foodstuffs in the Amer
lean home. Our problem now is to con-
vert this waste into eggs and meat.
A good feeding schedule for the dozen
hen flock consists of scratch feed a.crn-
ing and night and moist mash Of table
scraps and ground grains at noon. For
the morning feed Of grain give a liberal
handful TO every three hens. This should
be scattered in a litter OF shayings, straw
, that is available. that the fowls will
be compelled to exercise to get the grains
In the preparation of the moist mash
for the noon feed the kitchen refuse from
the previous day should he put in q ket-
tile and cooked. When feeding time comes
take one quart OF equal parts Of bran and
cornmeal and add enough Of the cooked
porridge to make the mass crumbly. not,
sticky. If there Is a good quantity Of
stale bread crusts these can be used in
place OF the bran and meal. About two
quarts Of the moist mash is sufficient for
a flock Of twelve hens. The mash should
be removed from the birds after It has
been before them thirty minutes What
ever Is left can be put back into the por-
ridge pot for the next day. At the night
reed give all the grain the birds will clean
up. II there Ia a liberal quantity of potato
parings or other vegetables in the por-
ridge no other green food will be required
Water. grit. oyster shell and a little char
coal should be provided at all times.

There are two general systems of
feeding ground grains. commonly
known as the wet" and dry systems.
The former has been in use since the
early days of the industry. while the
tice during the last decade
The advantages of the wet system
are, first. that all waste products from
the kitchen, such as vegetable parinEs.
and so on. can be cooked up in an appe-
thing soup and mixed with the ground
grains. Thus clean waste. instead OF
being consigned to the garbage can. ia
utilized for the production of meat and
eggs. This means the elimination OF
waste and the economic use of every
particle Of food.
Another advantage in feeding the
mash moist IL that It can be varied
from day to day with very little trou-
relished by the hens. Anything that
tends to make the feed more palatable
increases production. Again, since large
quantities Of rich waste food are avail
able. it can be diluted with bran. cut
clover or grass clippings and thus
made more suitable for the needs of
the flock.
The main disadvantages Of feeding
feeding and the possibility of the mix
up. The experienced feeder win have
little trouble Of this kind. II plenty
Of trough room Is not provided the
strongest birds get q full feed and the
weaker ones little or nothing. Again.
the entire flock may be underfed until
the feeder gains sufficient experience
to know what his birds require for a
fun meal. Many inexperienced feeders
VIII be apt to give too much mash and
neglect to remove 1t after the birds
have hlled up. This generally results
IN their eating sour mash, with the con-
sequent digestive disorders Mash that
IL not consumed in thirty minutes
should be removed at once.
The method of dry mash feeding in
common use today is to supply a def
mite quantity of the whole grains once
ar twice daily. and maintain a supply
OF ground grains where the birds ca n
help themselves at all times Another
method calls for a light feeding of
grain in the morning. dry mash in
troughs at noon. and all the whole
grain the birds will eat at night. Still
a third method consists in supplying
ooth grains and mash in hoppers to
which the birds have access during
various periods OF the day. In conneco
ton with the different methods of div
mash FEEDING the green food is given
separately in the form Of cabbage.
beets. sprouted oats. clover and lawn
clippings.
The advantages Of dry mash feeding
are apparent to every one who under
stands the handling Of poultry. Wher.
definite quantity of grain is given
daily and the birds have free access &c
the mash at all times. It is absolutely
impossible for the attendant to over
feed or underfeed. This makes the sys.
tenn especially valuable to beginners

There is little IL any danger of feed
ing the fowls too much green stun at
any time OF the year. They know their
needs and can be depended upon to sup
ply them II they have the chance.
Fowls closely yarded, as is the case
at most of the smaller poultry plants.
seldom or never get all the green stuff
they want and need. Even during the
summer the green feed too often con-
sists principally of lawn clippings and
the like. when the fowls relish much
more keenly big feed of juicy. succu-
lent stun such as cabbage leaves. beet
tops-anything. in short. that comes
fresh and crisp from the garden.
