KITCHEN SCRAPS
GOOD FOR FOWLS
Waste Material viii Go Iona Way
With Poultry Flock.
HELP REDUCE GRAIN NEEDED
Good Plan to Produce Eggs Is by Feed
ing Garbage, Some Grain to Be
Scratched For, Dry Mash, Grit
and Clean Water.

You can maintain a backyard flock
on kitchen waste alone-not in these
days of patriotic conservation-but
You can make waste material go a
long way in the hen yard. With egg
prices at high tide it will not pay to
skimp in feeding the layers, but using
all the kitchen garbage and left-overs
available viii help reduce the amount
of grain needed.
Scraps of meat, or leftover vege-
tables which cannot be utilized in
any other way, make excellent chicken
feed. There are also many other waste
products, such as beet tops, turnip
tops. carrot tops, potato Feelings,
onion Feelings, watermelon rinds, the
outside leaves of cabbage, waste let
tuce leaves, bread and cake crumbs
and so on, all of which are relished by
the hens. In saving the scraps from
the waste it is well to separate the
portions adapted to feeding and place
them in Il receptacle or pail by them
selves. Decomposed waste material
or moldy bread or cake should never
be saved to feed to the hens, as it is
harmful to them. Stop material such
as dishwater should not be thrown in
with the other waste for the flock.
1t is also useless to feed such things
as banana peel or the skins of or
anges, as these have little or no food
value. Any sour milk which is not
utilized in the house should be fed
separately, however, either by allow
ing the hens to drink it or by allow
ing it TO clabber on the back of the
stove and then feeding it in that con-
litiOO

To "Rreakn Rroody Hen.

When hens become broody and it is
not desired to allow them to hatch
chickens, they should be 'broken up"
as quickly as possible. The sooner this
is done the sooner they will resume
laying. To break hen of broodiness
she should be confined to a small coop,
preferably with a slat bottom. Give
her plenty of water to drink; she may
be fed or not, as desired. Not much
difference will be found in the time re-
CURED to break her of broodiness
whether she is fed or made to fast
Usually three to six days Of confine
ment will do the work, but some hens
require ten to twelve days. The
broody hen will be recognized by her
inclination to stay on the nest at
night the ruffling of her feathers and
her desire to pick anyone who ap-
proaches her, and by the clucking
noise she makes. When these simp-
toms disappear, she has been broken
up"
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-02-14


the hens can help themselves. The
advantage of feeding such a mash is
that the hens always have access to
feed and this tends to make UP for
any faulty or inexperienced feeding
Hens do not like dry mash so we'll
that they are likely to Overeat. A
good dry mash may be made of equal
parts by weight of cornmeal. wheat
bran, bran middlings and beef scrap.
Fish scrap when available may re-
place the beef scrap or cottonseed
meal may be made to replace one-half
of the beef scrap in the mash.
The hens should have access at all
times to a supply of grit or stones
of a size small enough to be swallowed
readily. Grit is used by the hens to
help in grinding in their gizzards the
hard grains which they eat. A supply
Of ordinary gravel will answer the
purpose Of grit very well. Crushed
oyster or clam shells also should be
given to the hens and be kept before
them at all times. If this is withheld
the hens are likely to lack sufficient
shell-forming material in their feed
and soft-Shelled or thin-shelIed eggs
may result. Grit or shell can be pur-
chased in small quantities at any feed
or supply store. A plentiful supply OF
clean, fresh water must always be
available for the hens They drink
freely, especially when laying heavily
cessity. Keep the water pan, or dish
clean. If the water pan is raised a
foot above the floor the hens will not
kick it full of straw and other litter
when scratching for their feed.

err After the material has been put
through the grinder it is usually a
rather moist mass, and it is well to
mix with it some cornmeal, bran or
other ground grain until the whole
assumes a crumbly condition. The
best method is to feed the table scraps
at noon or night, or at both times, as
may be desired, in a trough or on a
board. All should be fed that the hens
will eat clean.
With the table scraps it is well to
feed some grain. Perhaps this may

LET NElGHBORs SAVE ALL

Maybe your neighbors who do
not keep chickens would save
the waste from their Kitchens, if
you asked them, for your hens.

people, doubtless, would be glad

morning. Four or five handfuls of
grain-about one-half pint-scattered
in the litter will be sufficient for a
flock of 20 to 25 hens. BY handful is
meant as much as can be grasped in
the hand not what can be scooped up
in the open hand. BY scattering it in
the litter the hens will be compelled to
scratch in order to find the grain, and
in this way they get exercise which is
decidedly beneficial to them. If the
house is too small to feed in. the grain
can be scattered on the ground out
side. A good grain mixture for this
purpose is composed of equal parts by
weight of feeding wheat, cracked corn
and oats. Another suitable grain mix
ture would be two parts by weight of
cracked corn and one part oats.

In addition to-.the grain and the
table scraps, it is well to feed a dry
mash. This dry mash is composed of
various ground grains and is placed
