to be fed separately II Is advisable to
walt until the chicks are ten days old.
although many p~oultrymen put the
beef scrap before the young chickens
at the start without bad results.
Chickens confined 20 small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed. such rs lettuce. sprouted oats.
alfalfa, or clover. but the best place to
raise chickens successfully Is on a
good range where no extra green feed
Ia required. Fine charcoal, grit and
oyster shell should be kept before the
chickens at all times, and cracked or
ground bone may be fed where the
chickens are kept In small bare yards.
but the latter feed IL not necessary
for chickens that have a good range.

FEED CHICKS OFTEN
BUT DON'T STUFF THEM.

Young chickens should be fed
from three 20 1--WE times daily,
depending upon ones experience
In feeding. Undoubtedly chick
n Gun be grown faster by feed
INK Ave times daily thhn by feed
Ing three times daily. but Il
should be borne In mind that
more harm can be done 20 the
young chickens by overlooking
than by underfeedlng. and at no
time should they be fed more
than barely TO satisfy their APP
politics and 10 keep them exer.
cising. except u, the evening
or last meal, when they should
be given all they viii eat. Young
chicks that are confined need
more attention TO avoid over
feeding than those that have
free range. as leg weakness is
likely to result in those confined.
