KITCHEN SCRAPS
GOOD FOR FOWLS
Waste Material Will Go Long Way
With Poultry Flock.
HELP REDUCE GRAIN NEEDED
Good Plan to Produce Eggs 10 by Feed
Ing Garbage, Some Grain to Be
Scratched For, Dry Mash, Grit
and Clean Water.

You can maintain q backyard flock
on kitchen waste alone-not In these
days of patriotic conservation-but
you can make waste material 60 q
long way in the hen yard. With egg
prices at high tide, 1t will not pay to
sklmp In feeding the layers. but using
all the kitchen garbage and left-overs
available will 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 1t is well to separate the
portions adapted to feeding and place
them in a receptacle or pail by them
selves. Decomposed waste material
or moldy bread or cake should never
be saved to feed to the hens, as 1t 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 1t or by allow
ing 1t to clabber on the back of the
stove and then feeding It In that con-
dition.
Use the Meat Grinder.
Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat grind
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1918-02-15

er. After the material has been put
through the grinder 1t Is usually q
rather moist mass, and 1t Is well to
mix with 1t 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 trough or on
board. All should be fed that the hens
will eat clean.
With the table scraps 1t is well to
feed some grain. Perhaps this may
best be given as light feed In the
morning. -Four or five handfuls OF
grain-about One-half pint-scattered
In the litter will be sufficient for q
flock of 20 to % 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. II 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.
Have Dry Mash Accessible.
In addition to the grain and the
table scraps, 1t is well to feed a dry
mash. This dry mash is composed Of
various ground grains and Is placed
In a mash hopper or box from which
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1918-02-15

the hens can help themselves. The
advantage of feeding such 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 well
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-hah
of the beef scrap in the mash.
The hens should have access at all
times to a supply Of grit or stones
OF size small enough to be swallowed
readily. Grit Is used By the hens 10
help In grinding in their gizzards the
hard grains which they eat. A supply
Of ordinary gravel win 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. II this is withheld
the hens are likely to lack sufficient
shell-forming material In their feed,
and soft-shelled or thin-shelled 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,
and should not be stinted In this ne
cessity. Keep the water pan, or dish,
clean. II the water pan is raised
foot above the floor the hens will not
kick 1t full Of straw and other litter
when scratching for their feed.

way They Have h ths ARMY.

You begin to learn that the army
has ways OF Its own, and that its WAYS
are not civilian ways, pretty soon after
you get into II, observes a writer In
the Saturday Evening Post. Orders
that must be obeyed without question
and without delay telling you to do
things that you have never done be-
fore, and don't know why you are do
ing now, always make a civilian gasp
a little at first. You discover that to
question and to seek to discover the
motive and ultimate aim Of any order
that you do not understand is purely
instructive. You ask yourself quite
automatically: "Why should l do
this" or "ShalI do this" When you
have been in the army a little while
you discover that the answer is "Yes."
There Is no other answer, so after a
while you quit asking yourself foolish
questions. This Is what may be called
"the effect OF discipline" We Amer
leans are always being told that we
are the most undisciplined people on
earth; that we do as we please and
that vigorously ordered life and dis
cipline would do us good and make
us more effective. Well, l am here to
state that the theory and belief Is now
being tested out in about million Of
us, and II after the war we don't come
in out Of the rain 1t will be because
there is nobody there to tell US 10
come In.

LET NElGHBoRs SAVE ALL
WASTE FOR YOUR FLOCK

Maybe your neighbors who do
not keep chickens would save
the waste from their kitchens, II
you asked them, for your hens.
Scraps from the table make ex-
cellent feed and they enable a
saving In the grain bill. Many
people, doubtless, would be glad
to save the useful material If a
small pail is furnished.
