 Before bringing this lesson to a close, I will give one more ration, inclnding dry feed fed 

 in a hopper: 



Ration VIII. Morning and Evening. — Mixed grain, 1 part wheat, 1 part barley, 2 parts 

 cracked corn. 



Ground mixture, equal parts corn and oats, one-half bran added, always

 This last is a ration for one who has little time to give his poultry. Its simple aim is 

 to insure that the fowls will have enough to eat and a fair variety iu food.
