Many poultrymen have tried dry mash feeding from automatic hoppers, but there is a tendency to-day to revert to the old custom of wet mash feeding. Mr Norman is quite satisfied that dry mash feeding is satisfactory, and possibly that is one reason why lie continues to enlarge his plant. The latest system of feeding on some farms is to supply dry mash In hoppers all the lime, but in addition to the morning scratch feed of grain and tlie full evening grain meal a wet mash tit-bit luncheon is fed out. The idea of the extra midday mash feed is that variety can be included and scraps used up. An extreme luncheon might consist of just geen feed damped with gravy and dried off with maizemeal, if more of that particular meal was required. One of the most important points to keep in mind with the intensive system is that the birds must be kept occupied as much;’ as possible. It is more or less a matter of habit for a fowl to be scratching for the odd bit of food all day long. Certainly ‘there seems much sense In omitting the full early morning mash feed, as after it the birds are inclined to go back to the perches and mope. It is noticeable that fowls prefer mash to grain last thing at night, and it has been shown that grain is not essential at night. The intake of food and the digestive* system of the 300 egg layer requires careful consideration. Her egg production depends entirely on the quality and amount of food that she consumes. We read quite a little about balanced rations, but the hen seems to be able to balance her own ration very well if she is given the chance. Everywhere one meets with opposite views. One poultryman, for instance, has not used any charcoal for several years, and states that he does not (find it at all necessary, whilst another would not leave it out of his mash mixture on any account. Both are successful in their own ways. ARE you too rat? rat Is unattractive and unhealthy! Reduce safely and pleasantly with INATURETTES —the scientific Herbal Slimming Treatment.
