Show NOW FOR EGGS I 1 we have described that clean wind and waterproof water proof coop with those oloe nice early pullets in 10 the same we must now look around and see eee how bow we can food feed those puller and make them think it la Is perpetual summer Bu oamer an ae they hey are now protected from the ob chilling illing blast of winter we must keep them lo in robust health but be careful we do not make them too fat fat fowl don dont donit it lay eggs the spit or pot is 16 the place for them to leavo leave out all technical terms of the chemist and scientists and come down to plain english Engl iab our fowls must have bave animal and vegetable rood food grit avid and waters water and than evenly balanced now what constitutes the animal food of the fowl in bummel slugs worms and atle in their various forme form but we cannot preserve or bottle up flies or worms and we must find a substitute sti tute we and it in meat gristle and bone oil cake meals meal tuo flower seeds needs etc the fresh bones in their natural state cannot be utilized by the leath elrod red tribe but bat thanks to the genius of our american mechanics a simple machine called a bone mill has been deviated whereby we can take this waste material and convert it into inlo the nicest kind bind of food tor for even the smallest of 01 little chickens and one pound of fresh bone cutup out up bythe by abe mi machines chines contains alne more egg producing material than twenty pounds of wheat now dont think that the preparing of this bone is in we work ot of a boy of 10 or 12 years of age because it to Is not it is in hard bard work but eggs iu in winter don dont donit it comedown come down with the snowflakes and it if expect eggs at christmas or now new years you must work for tien tie n the bone mill or cutter has matie made it il possible to work up a great dab deal I 1 of waste material materia in fact with the except exception iov ol of the bidel bidge bid lwe we can take the bone mill and convert abe whole animal into just the iford food in part pan that thai our leathered feathered friends want not even the blood and inte ee as when clean of bleir filtz need be wasted with the bone will mill we can out up waste vegetables and dried bult that may have become wormy mud aud thle this will be relished by our fowls in the winter to the same extent as our bottled and canoed canned fruit and nice green apples are in our families and right here bore lot let me munish admonish ad you to procure a variety of vegetables of all kinds for we the towle they enjoy them cooked or raw out up into small pieces if you dont doni think so no just go out outon on a winery day anti and sweep away the snow from a given splice take a cabbage and cut Is 11 into small pieces fand nd throw it down clown to your fowls and see how bow they will fall over each other with dollart to secure a small morsel of an thing you yon may offer them in the it fruit uit or vegetable line have a few bw beets or carrots to lay in your coops or any place where they will not freeze and let your chickens eat them they will stock them with their beaks until there is nothing lot but the outside left hang up in the coops heads beads of cabbage just high enough si the fowls will have to jump to secure a piece it will give them exercise and keep thern them warm aarm 4 remember that exercise with proper food is the key note of eggs dout dou 99 forget that that forage plant which has done so much to redeem the waste places ot of utah known as lucern or alfalfa Is one 04 0 the best beat of foods for the feathered tribe but not I 1 in a the shape that the bow or the horse borce uses il 11 you who have fodder cutter out it up into quarter inch loog the ii you have no such machine gather the leaves from your horses boress 1 mangers barn ft floors dorm or hay buy dont don throw that chat out cut lucern or leaves to fowls as you would grain because if you do you will waste nine tenths of it your chickens dont donit don it take to it in that way but steam it and incorporate in the morning feed the other vegetable matter we give to the fowls known as dry feed are the several graine wheat oats barley and corn the three first are the staple as corn practically speaking should not be used only for certain purposes now as to water one of the grand craod essentials which must be in abundance and of the purest kind babil think that to water your chickens once a week in winter is sufficient because chlo chickens keDs have no tools to break toe ice and make it so they can use it it if you can have a running tream stream that bat your fowls can no go to without too much ex I 1 ciure that la Is the ideal idea but in the ab sence noe of that see flee that they have water morning and afternoon mine have bave warm water in a morning and their drinking drink og vessels emptied at night in the drinking vessels put clean rusty nails naila or iron into the water wat erit it will act sea ae a toole tonic I 1 will take up more of the details and grit la in our next 0 H C |
