sickness We wish all hauliers success in coming term PULLET requires more teed than a ben If it Is Intended that the pullet produce A bird to lay well must have a surplus of feed over and above body maintenance The excess of feed above body maintenance goes either towards growth fat or egg production Poultry feeds are divided Into two classes one whole or Cracked commonjy called scratch feel and the other ground grains commonly called mash- Scratch feeds are generally fed night arid morning and are scattered in straw in order to induce the birds to scratch or take exercise A mix ture of two or more kinds of grain usually gives better results than one single grain largely because Indi vidual birds appetites vary from day to day A good mixture for the win ter months might contain as much as fifty per cent good corn either whole or cracked If corn could no be had and the birds were accus tomed to eating buckwheat the buckwheat would answer nearly as well or one could use twentyfive per cent buckwheat and twentyfive per cent corn To the corn or buckwheat could be added twentyfive per cent of barley ten per cent of wheat screenings and fifteen per cent of good oats If one was obliged to do so almost any of the grains could be fed alone with the exception of oats There Is too much hull or husk on oats to use entirely a a single feed At present for a mash feed we are using the standard hog feed If the ground grains are to be fed moist or mixed with cooked house hold refuse then the mixture should be one that will mix to a crumbly state but It fed dry in an open hop per the above Is not so important The mash feed Is the one where the animal meals are generally given The amounts vary from ten to twen ty per cent of the mixture The ani mal meals used are commonly high grade tankage and beef scrap I Where one has plenty of skim or buttermilk the other animal feeds are unnecessary Some use green cut bone cooked refuse meat as livers lights beef heads etc A very good mash can be made of one part each by measure shorts barley meal and ground oats Corn meal could be used in the place of the barley or with it If one is short of green feed or roots it would be well to add one part of bran Per haps the simplest mash to feed from an open hopper is rolled or crushed oats We have used this when the birds had to drink for a num ber years with excellent results Laying hens require plenty of green feed Cabbage is one of the green feeds Roots are very good but clover leaves should be within reach as well as the roots Sprouted oats are used to a large extent on poultry farms When the birds get accustomed to a green and succulent food it la generally wise to give them all they oat A pea of fifteen pullets will eat head of cabbage almost every day or one hundred hens wQl eat a peck of sprouted oats day after day and shell should always bo within easy access Prof ft Graham A College of Alt Kinds of Dry Goods Enables us to sell Many Lines for Much Less
