20 Hubbard's poultry secrets. 



HOW I DISCOVERED THE RIGHT AND WRONG 

 WAYS TO FEED BABY CHICKS. 



After many years of hard work and study, I find that wheat, 

 corn, and oats are the three principal grains which should be 

 used for the best results. In fact, they are the only three 

 grains I have used in making the reputation for Foxhurst 

 Farm Black Orpingtons. This farm is the only farm in the 

 world that ever won all of the five blues in one season, jat 

 Madison Square Garden, which is the hardest poultry show 

 in the world to win a blue in. This farm showed thirty birds, 

 and twenty-two of the thirty birds shown won ribbons. These 

 winnings were as follows : 



First and third cocks. 



First and fourth hens. 



First, third, fourth and fifth cockerels. 



First, second, third, fifth pullets. 



First and fourth pens. 

 What does a record of this kind mean when all the best 

 birds that England, Canada, and the United States could pro- 

 duce, were in competition at the show? It means that I am 

 offering to the poultry world the greatest system of Mating, 

 Feeding, and Conditioning of Fancy Poultry for the show 

 room that was ever offered. Earlier in this article I said that 

 wheat, corn, and oats were the only grains I used in making 

 the reputation for Foxhurst Farm. They are, with the excep- 

 tion of a little rice I use in feeding baby chicks, and a little 

 barley I use for hens which are overfat. I will tell about 

 barley later on. 



From the corn we get whole corn, cracked corn and corn 

 meal. From the wheat we get whole wheat, wheat bran, and 

 wheat middlings. From the oats we get whole oats, ground 

 oats, flaked oats, sprouted oats, and pin head oatmeal. You
