advant ages of crate fattening are that the chickens gain more weight in th same time on lew feed while beln fattened in crates than tbey do on range they grade higher and sell for more cents per

bo interspersed by crate fattening through the tissues and under the tkln is far more useful in u cullnury way than excess fat in the abdomen a recipe for u typical fattening ration is made up of equal part ol finely ground outs wheat barlej or buckwheat mixed into a fairly thin batter with sour milk the chickens should be fed twice a day with water or milk available for the birds to drink during the day all birds do not fatten in the same period of time some of the birds will be properly finished before the others it is good feeding practice says the dominion poultry authorities to
