HINTS.
There can be no hard and fast rules regarding quantity in feeding poultry. The safest rule is to let the birds have as much as they will eat, but to leave nothing lying about. Mash (whether wet or dry) should be served in troughs, and the grain feed should be given in j the mornings, scattered among the lit--1 ter, so that the birds will get some exeri cise even if they are in close confine- : ment. | In the case of a stock cockerel great 1 care needs to be exercised, as anything I will not do if good results are to be ob--1 tained. On a wise purchase the whole work of a season’s breeding is hinged. ; The cock is half the breeding pen, and i any serious defect in the sire vail be j transmitted to all the offspring, which ! is a serious matter.
