78 FEEDING OF FOWLS 



If the pheasants are 2 da. old, about 10% of cooked 

 lean meat may be added. Stale bread softened in 

 sweet milk and a custard of eggs and milk put to- 

 gether with enough stale bread crumbs to soak up the 

 greater part of the moisture, are good foods for young 

 pheasants. A certain quantity of meal worms may be 

 fed to mature pheasants, although a ration composed, 

 by measure, as follows, is preferable:

Crushed hemp seed 1 



Stale bread crumbs 1 



Oatmeal 1
