PROPER FOOD
fn the growing of young
many people give the greatest
and attention for the first
three weeks and then neglect
The best rule in feeding Is to give
a sufficent quantity every day from
the time they are hatched until they
have grown to maturity. Too much
feeding is perhaps worse than not |
enough but good and plenty all the
time expresses it. This means a
plentiful supply of good wholesome
food every day until they fully
matured either for the market, for.
winter layers, the breeding pen, the
show-rcom or for whatever purpose
they are intended.
It is a comparatively easy matter,
by colonjzing and placing their roost |
ing coops in different localities to |
keep the various ages and sizes of
poultry separate, so that these of one
age may be fed and grown together,
This prevents the larger of mormana
tured chicks from running over,
trampling and destroying the young
er ones and places them all upon an |
rquality as to size and strength
Those who have not carefully con-
sidered the matter will scarcely real
jze what a large number of chicks
are destroyed by being trampled to
death by older ones when they ure
all compelled to rum (ogether and
grab their food supply, catchascateh
can, all in one spot. If they must all
be fed together, seattor the food sup
ply over a large area of ground or
into a larger number of feed troughs,
as may be, so that all will have u
fair chance without being crowded
One of the main secrets of success
with the growing of poultry is the se
lection of the very Lest kinds of foods
for the producing of bone flesh and
muscle, and this should be fed con
ally and plentifully throughout
the entire growimg season In this
