this change and due regard to the
size of the particles of food that baby
chicks can eat, there need be little or

of sifted ground oats, cornmeal, flour

meat scrap. With one part of bran.
Instead of three, and no necessity for
sifting the ground oats or finely grind

as good a laying mash as could be
compounded. The above would make
a very good mash to be fed with
equal parts of cracked corn nnd wheat.
