POULTRY IN WINTER.

Gxcen Cat Boat Is the Best Food, Proviaed It Is GlTen. la Fcofi«e Proportions. _ The season of green" cut Bone is> now upon vs. We all Know that there is no better food. That is a. fact. But many a breeder has caused himself and fowls, no end of trouble by the improper fescing of this excellent ration, remarks an lowa poultryman in Poultry Herald, it is the easiest thing in. the world tc throw fowls off their feed by improperly feeding green cnt bone. .When the birds are in this condition —off their feed —they are in an unnatural condition, and cannot gain in flesb. or esr£ production. It would be impossible fetre to stats- the exact amount of feed. No two men feed alike, exactly. I have givaa this matter carefur attetticr. Like every other breeder who ever purchased a bene mill, overfed- for c time. As a result that greatly Increascii ess yield did not follow the feeding o: green cut bene. Nor would the fowls of food as they should. Expsrfece has taught me that the breeds c* lewis I handle should receive abenv iOtir ounce.; each of the bone a week IcLeadi of feeding the gr?en cut fcene •:/ itself, a£ is usually done, it should •_•'> raised with soft letd. As stated, re "...laile rule can be laid down as t-e ;ost bow much of this ration should h-. >:d. Same L reeds will stand cp under ibeso rich Ice'ls better than others. I am satisaed, i.owever, that to get the belt results green cut bone and blood meal, and eo ujrth, should be fed sparingly. Seen materials should not be made to take tc - -ilace cf regular foods.
