FEEDING FOR EGG- PRODUCTION 221 



as you think you might expect, why not change your method and see 

 if there is an improvement? 



4. Secure several samples of commercial grain feeds from various 

 dealers and examine them carefully as to the quality and number of 

 different grains contained. 



5. Remember that the animal protein contained in bugs and 

 worms that the fowls get in the spring and summer must be provided 

 in some form by feeding a meat feed in the winter, in order to secure 

 eggs. 



6. A feed mixing demonstration carried on before a group of 

 people interested in poultry will be of great value and lead to an inter- 

 esting discussion as to the principles and practice of feeding. 



7. Would it not be possible for you to try artificial lights in 

 your poultry house and thus secure an increased egg production in the 

 fall and winter months?
