POULTRY RAISING

at a grand profit; for under this system of feeding 

 your birds will grow ver)' rapidly and develop fully 

 one-third quicker than fed the old way, stuffed with 

 mashes. When fed the old way, you will lose a large 

 number with colds and roup, and have but few well 

 chickens to sell. 



Just a word here in growing your birds for roas- 

 ters. Either good wheat screenings or screening feed 

 which I feed must be kept before them all the time; 

 also a first class beef scrap and grit, charcoal, and 

 good fresh water. And they should have one good 

 feeding of processed oats about 9 a. m. — all they will 

 eat. At night give all the cracked corn they will take, 

 and you will grow roasters that will be a credit to you, 

 and sickness among them will not be known, and your 

 profit will surprise you.

But you will find it to your advantage to market 

 them as broilers as long as they bring 25 cents a 

 pound and more. 



A pan of corn meal, set where they can eat all 

 they want whenever they want it, will also fatten 

 them nicely. Do not wet it, but let them eat it dry.
