THE MATURE FOWLS 



com, wheat and oats, ground, is before them, while they must 

 exercise and keep scratching for all hard grain. A very satis- 

 factory egg yield is always obtained and eggs are strong in fer- 

 tility. Green food is daily fed and also green cut bone of a 

 limited amount. 



A. 28. I feed about as above. Keep them well exer- 

 cised and well fed with hoppers before them, and three times 

 a day on hard grain in litter. 



mash food of any kind. I gave them plenty of grit and oyster 

 shell and some charcoal and they laid well and eggs hatched well 

 on an average, both at home and for customers. A few cus- 

 tomers hatched every egg sent them.
