MtjsselbxtrGH. — Yes ; dry feeding of chickens is a, lazy man's method, but it is also a good busy man's an-dl wise man's method. By feeding the dry chick feed- you mention you -will avoid bowel troubles, and-, generally speaking, raise. s4rong r healthy birds. You wilil get more* size, perhaps by feeding moist feeds, but be careful not to give sloppy food or trouble must follow. Your suggestion to alternate diry with moist feed from day to day i 3 a good >ne, and really the question >f trouble should not get consideration. I have kept chickens without water for a montih without evil results, but don't recommend withholding it £or more than a fortnight, for jite- that time they certainly crave for it. 1 have seen them sucking at the. boards" of a wet coop. If you withhold water, don't neglect to supply green stuff daily. Pottltby. — Yes; it .would be highly injurious. A little in the water would be beneficial, but wheat scpied in bluestone would be " too much ol a good thing."
