continued. The grain ration is made up of cracked 

 corn, wheat and oats, in varying proportions according 

 to the season of the year. 



Four Collections of Eggs Daily 



At three o'clock another collection of eggs is made, 

 and at five o'clock eggs are again collected, and at 

 this last collection all the corners of the litter under the 

 dropping boards are carefully searched for eggs laid 

 by the wayward Biddy, who prefers her own scooped 

 out corner to a good nest. 



The Houses are closed for the night, according to 

 the condition of the weather, and at this time still 

 another collection of eggs is made. At seven-thirty \ 

 the Houses are again visited, and all birds not roost- 

 ing as they should be are removed from the nest 

 boxes or windows and placed upon the perches. 



Mash Fed in Afternoon 



During the Summer months, when the birds are on 

 Range, they are fed their mash and grain ration be- 

 tween the hours of two and three in the afternoon. 



Throughout the year nothing whatever is allowed 

 to interfere with the Schedule, and, if one would suc- 

 ceed with poultry a rigid adherence to regularity is 

 most necessary.
