The three kinds of feeds most neg

grain mixture should be fed night and
morning, giving as large II quantity az
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Katir corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats. A supply of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty Of it
II they have free range, but il kept in
confinement. lawn grass, beet tops,
cabbage, lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
vided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When sour
milk can be obtained it should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
is regarded better for them. When
this is given the amount of beef scrap
in the dry mash may be reduced one
half. Plenty OF fresh, clean water is
absolutely necessary, ana IN hot
weather it should be provided twice
daily in dishes that have been thor
oughiy cleaned.
The bulletin emphasizes the impor.
lance of free range AMI shade for
growing chicks. They are necessary
II chicks are to grow rapidly and de-
veop into vigorous fowls. When
growing chicks have free range they
obtain quantities Of green feed, bugs,
worms and other things, therefore
they require less grain and are less
liable to sickness and disease.
