This figures a ration of 1: , and mixed with skim milk will put meat on chicks as fast as they are capable of digesting the food, providing not only for the normal growth of tissue, frame and feathers, but furnish- ing a surplus which the tissues appropriate, resulting in a plumpness of breast which is very desirable. The above will be found a very satisfactory mash to feed birds in the molt, either morning or night, as preferred, and the alternate feed of whole grain should be as narrow as 1:4. The beef scraps and salt are very important during the molt, although equally important at all times and should never be omitted. Many a fancier actually starves his birds for these elements until they become desperate and denude each other of feathers to satisfy their craving. Should the reader ever find a pen of birds in this condition he can correct it almost immediately by a liberal feed of bologna sausage, which satis- fies their craving for salt and meat.
