FEEDING PULLETS FOR WINTER EGGS 



C. A. Rogers 



Does it ever occur to boys and girls that fowls are fond of a variety 



of food? This is especially so when the weather becomes cold and 



they are shut up in their pens away from the fields and the yard, where 



in summer they can nearly gain a living on the bugs, scattered grain 



" Love your hens and your hens will love you." Even Leghorns will be friendly. 

 The trough in the foreground is used when feeding the noon mash. The can on 

 the wall holds a supply of mixed grains which lasts for several days. The small 

 hoppers on the wall are for grit and oyster-shell. The water pan is placed on 

 a small platform or box about a foot above the floor to keep the water from be- 

 coming filled with dirt when the hens are working for their grains.
