FEEDING FOR EGGS

The young blood!'in the poultry husineisis is apib to become discouraged by the conlplictatodl suggestions he reads on . tire food 'question. The more he reads the mere discouraged he becomes. Don’t let a little thing like that throw you off tihe track. All the rations you read about are good, that is all those that are, retecmmeuidedl by reliable puiblioa"tions. The kind of food a hen should get; the amount she should 1 consume, and the time she gets it. should be ■ governed entirely by circumstances. • . iWhat 'will 'cure a horse 'will kill a man, and, for that, matter, what will kill one > man will not 'materially affect another. Sometimes it depends upon the strength of the man, ainidl sometimes on the £&?ength of that he imbibes. And so it'£s with fowls. A Leghorn and a Brahma should be fed differently. A fowl on a big range must not be fed similarly to one that is confined to -a bouse. Food that . produces eggs in winter will be donskleredj heavy feeding in summer. These are things the novice has to learn.—“Ekjgk and! Egg Farms.”
