Your Chickens Should Be
Fed 3 to 5 Times Each Day

three months old, three feelings a
day are enough.
When one mas only few chickens,
it is less trouble to purchase the pre-
pared chick feeds, but where con
siderable number are reared It is
sometimes cheaper to buy the finely
cracked grains and mix them to
gether. Some chick feeds contain a
large quantity of grit and many con-
tain grains of poor quality, SO that
they should be carefully examined and
guaranty as to quality secured before
PURCHASE.
AS soon as the chickens viii eat the
whole wheat usually in about eight
weeks, cracked corn and the other
grains, the small-sized chick feed can
be eliminated. In addition to the
above feeds the chickens growth can
be fastened if they are given SOU
milk, skim milk or buttcfmilk t.
drink. Growing chickens kept on d
good range may be given all their
feed in a hopper, mixing two part5
by weight of cracked corn with one
part of wheat, or equal parts OF
cracked corn, wheat and oats in one
hopper, and the dry mash for chick
ems in another. The beef scrap mas
be left out OF the dry mash and fed
in a separate hopper, 50 that the
chickens can eat all of this feed they
desire. If the beef scrap is to be
fed separately it is advisable to walt
until the chicks are ten days old,
although some poultrymen put the
beef scrap before the young chickens
at the start without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alfalfa or clover, but the best place
t. raise chicqens successfully is OF
good range where no extra green
: feed is required. Where the chickens
are kept in small, bare yards, fine
charcoal, grit and oyster she'll should
be kent before the chickens all o. tie
time, and cracked or ground bone may
| be fed. The bone is not necessary for
chickens that have good range.
