Instead of feeding wheat every day the grain may be varied by simply allowing one kind of grain each day. Oats may be given the first day, corn the next and wheat the next. The cost of food will be about the same as if but one kind is given, but the fowls will enjoy the changes of grain and keep in better health. If meat, milk and bulky food are also added to the ration the hens should lay, provided they have warm quarters and are not overfed. Variety should always be the rule, for even the grains differ in their composition.-Dakota Field and Farm.
