Egg money, how to increase 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 eggmoneyhowtoinc00nour Year: 1908 22 EGG MONEY sufficient exercise and an abundance of pure air for the chick. That is why the chick brought up by the mother hen on the range seldom has digestive troubles. Formerly the poultry keeper mixed various mashes with, milk or water, or baked a johnny cake of corn meal and bran, for the broods during their younger days. In late years this method of feeding has given way to the use of prepared chick foods which are made of various grains and seeds, with some meat food added, and which are fed dry. These foods produce excellent results and this manner of feeding appears to be nearer nature. When the chicks are weaned, that is, when they graduate from the care of the mother hen or are separated from the ?^rooder, they begin their real period of growth and develop- ment and require larger quarters and more extensive range, The poultry keeper who can scatter his weaned broods in flocks of twenty-five, in colony houses, and allow them to run over the broad acres of a farm is fortunate, for under such conditions the chicks attain that development which is required for best results and do it at the lowest cost for food and care. He who must keep his chicks within yards must see to it ^hat these yards are clean and that special inducements to- exercise are furnished the youngsters. In most cases this must be done by feeding them the grain part of their bill of fare in a deep litter from which they must scratch it out. To sum up, the factors absolutely necessary for the produc- tion of the profit makers are: correct incubation, correct brooding, correct feeding and a clean, healthful environment from the time of exclusion from the shell.
