ANSWERS T0 FEW QUESTIONS As that as they learn to eat it Wu mix more and more wheat and cracked corn into the chick feed. so that by the time they are three weeks old they are eating cracked corn and wheat entirely. From the start we give access to dry mush made up at first like the wet mush, except that the rolled oats is omitted after the second wm-k, In the middle of tho forenoun and the afternoon we feed 11 little mash made up of equal parts of coarse ground corn, wheat bran, wheat mid- dlings and rolled outu. Once a day we mix a raw egg in with this mash. one egg for about each 60 chicks. As they get older we gradually increase- the amount of raw egg. adding enough water or. better still. milk to keep the mash from being sticky and soggy. (By J. 0. H XLPIN.
