'The best ration for breeding

the fowls want to eat. A box of
ground bran, and a box of char
coal and a box of crushed oyster
shells where the fowls can help
themselves and a good supply of
green grass will give more vital
ity to the eggs than any other
feed.
The meat scrap and bran can
be kept before the fowls where
they can help themselves. They
will not over eat after they have
become accustomed to the food.
Some persons have an idea that
corn is not good for breeding
hens but my experience is that
hens which eat large amounts of
corn transmit more vitality to the
chicks than those receiving other
grains."
