will be increased. The best way to supply fowls with whole- 

 some food at little cost is to procure slaughter-house pieces, those 

 which are coarse and bloody, which can be had for little or nothing. 

 Chop them up fine, bones and all; put them in a boiler and fill with 

 water; when thoroughly cooked, so the flesh will easily fall from the 

 bones, then stir in some ground oats, corn and barley, or either in 

 the form of meal alone, if the whole cannot be conveniently found 

 at the mills or feed stores. Keep stirring and cooking till it becomes 

 thick as mush; season with salt and pepper; pour the mess into 

 pans or jars and put away in a cool place, if there is too much for a 

 day's feed, while for present use it is more relished if fed agreeably 

 warm to the fowls. This is an excellent mixture for young or old, 

 for flesh or eggs, and besides being wholesome and nutritious, it is 

 less expensive than grain.
