1 6 w. cook's turkey, goose, and pheasant book. 



oats are all good grains for them, and a little Indian corn^ 

 say once a week, will not hurt them. 



Plenty of green-stuff should be provided for these birds 

 through the winter, as when they have that they do not 

 require so much grain. 



Pheasants should have a grass run, if possible, if not, they 

 will require a great deal more attention, and either turnips 

 or small pieces of mangel-wurzel cut up and thrown in to 

 them occasionally. 



When pheasants are looking a little drooping, water-cresses 

 cut up fine and thrown into the run, are very beneficial. 

 Where a large number of these birds are kept, and there is a 

 stream running near the house, it is well to have a water-cress 

 bed. If this can be managed it does them so much good 

 and keeps them in prime condition, and at the same time 

 they are very fond of them. 



In all cases where stock pheasants are kept in confine- 

 ment they should have a good supply of grit to help 

 them masticate their food. Road scrapings, put in a little 

 heap in the run, not only does for grit but makes a nice dust 

 heap for them to dust themselves in. 



Pheasant breeders are using the Poultry Powders largely 

 through March and April, to bring the stock birds on to lay a 

 little earlier, and where this is done they lay far more eggs 

 during the first months. It is a stimulant and tonic which 

 does not injure the birds.
