30 BRIGGS' SYSTEM OF 



bushel, and there is nothing that will make hens lay so 

 many eggs nor such fertile eggs. This feeding system 

 alone is worth hundreds of dollars to any one with a 

 big plant, and for small yarded plants it solves the green- 

 feed question entirely and will make any plant pay a 

 profit. Leghorn pullets can be grown and put to laying 

 at four months of age on this feed. I have also done it 

 with White Rocks and White Wyandottes. Never soak 

 oats over five hours in summer or in a warm cel- 

 lar in winter, where a heater is run, for if you do you 

 destroy the sprouting qualities of the oats. Barley is the 

 next best grain for processing, and will give nearly as 

 good results. Wheat and buckwheat can also be proc- 

 essed in same manner with grand results.
