Show IP0EWN0M Correct feeding and successful keeping keep-ing go together in fowldom. Be on your guard against drafts. They are disastrous this time of the year. The busy fowl is never sick. A breeding stock must be strictly hardy. Laying hens will eat and digest 25 per cent, more feed than hens that are not laying. The problem of soft shelled eggs will be solved If your laying hens are given free access to the grit box and prohibited from eating sloppy, watery wa-tery mashes. Warm houses and warm feed will keep fowls in excellent health and fill up the egg basket. Remember that lots of sunshine in the winter will save lots of feed. Feeding raw, wet cornmeal regularly regular-ly Is, by no means, a good thing to do. Small cracked corn Is always much more preferable, as It gives much better results. Now that we are having cold weather, weath-er, do not forget to give your poultry warm feed at least once a day. They will appreciate It and you will find It pays for the trouble |
