FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTION 97 



Supply fresh water at least once daily; from the hen's 

 standpoint the oftener the better. 



Keep oyster shell and grit where the hens can always 

 get them. 



Feed the flock regularly. Hens will soon learn to 

 expect the feeder at a certain time each day. 



One writer has summed up good feeding practice by 

 saying, ''Feed wholesome food; feed liberally; feed regu- 

 lar; feed a variety. After that, the only secret in feeding 

 is to feed 'activity' into the hen."
