. Egg money, how to increase it; a book of complete and reliable information on the more profitable production of eggs on the city lot, the village acre and the farm. Poultry; Eggs. 32 EGG MONEY fresh air and sunlight possible, for they are great purifiers and cost nothing. Foods and Feeding. If the pullets are out in the fields every day when the weather permits, feeding is a simple problem. But if they must be confined in houses an effort must be made to sup- ply that part of their food which they would obtain in the fields, if allowed their liberty, and to supply it in a similar form so far as possible. For flocks enjoying free range, a liberal supply of the principal grains, with fresh water daily, is all that is re- quired. Corn, wheat, and oats fe^d alternately, one in the morning, one at mid-day, and one toward evening, will pro- duce good results if a dish of beef scraps is constantly in reach of the flock from which they can secure what ani- mal food they need to bring that obtained by foraging up to the requirements of their systems. Some breeders prefer to feed a damp mash at least once each day. The writer is inclined to favor feeding this mix- ture in the morning and has found that two parts of corn- meal, three of bran and sufficient beef scraps to make 10 per cent of the mash is a simple and effective combination. If milk can be obtained to mix this mash it is more palat- able and produces better results. When mash is fed the dish of beef scraps mentioned above, may be dispensed with, but meat must be provided in some* manner if the best.
