Abundant Animal Food
She must have an abundance of animal food, either in form of green cut bone, or beef scraps, and this should be mixed as we feed it in The Corning Egg Farm Mash, which is a mixture of different meals in which the animal food is thoroughly distributed. Of grain, to one hundred hens, eight quarts of a mixture of wheat, corn and oats, should be given; in Summer, about two-thirds wheat and one-third cracked corn, reducing the wheat to a third and increasing the corn to about two-thirds in cold weather, adding to this mixture at all times two quarts of oats. That is to say, six quarts of wheat and corn and two quarts of oats.
