AMERICAN POULTRY CULTURE 



appliances and devices there are numerous other 

 Miscellaneous ones, although some of them are 

 Equipment designed principally for the large 

 breeder and do not come under the jurisdiction 

 of this book; they include bone cutters, feed 

 cookers, feed mixers, grit crushers, hay cutters, etc. 

 Grit crushers enable the operator to make his own 

 grit, and this is economical in some sections of the 

 country, where a natural supply of satisfactory 

 sharp stones and gravel is available. Hay cutters 

 enable the owner to cut his own clover or alfalfa 

 into short lengths, thus furnishing an excellent sup- 

 ply of green food for the winter months. Green- 

 bone cutters (not bone mills, which are for grind- 

 ing dry bones and are of little value) are discussed 

 in another chapter.
