FEEDS FOR POULTRY
Though the feeding of poultry U a

Poultry feeds may be divided for
onvenlonce Into five general classes:
First, gralna, both whole and
tracked; second, ground grains, fed
in the form of a mash; third, meat
'pods; fourth, minora! feeds; and
ilth, green feods.
j Corn, cracked corn, wheat and
heat screenings, oats, barley, rye,

ruins, while of the ground feods we

f "curing fall and winter eggs
I first essential Is to have pullets

it, cracked corn, and oats, fed
e dally, usually in the morning
at night. The grain may be
er scattered on the range In sum
and In the Httein the poultry
house In winter, or fed In the house
throughout the year. It should be
supplemented with a dry or wet
mash of two parts corn meal and one
part each of wheat bran, middlings,
and boot scrap. One feed of mash
may.be fed at any time during tli
day and the grain fed for tlio other
two meals. Regulate the proportion
or grain and maun so thut the lion
wll consume about equal parts of
each. About one quart of grain dally
should be fed to every It Leghorn
hens, or to 13 general purpose hens
such as the Plymouth Hoek, with an
equal weight of mash. This amount,
however, varies, and should be reg
ulated by the feedor, as the lions
should be eager for each meal. Lee
horns will eat about 56 pounds of
grain and mash a year, and Plym
outh Rocks, or hens of the general
purpose class about 76 pounds.
