While the terms used in the following pages are in most cases descriptive of common articles of trade, the names may be new to some of our readers so we take this opportunity to explain our meaning more clearly.

Egg-Feed as used herein refers to a mixture of ground grain, corn, wheat, oats, barley or kaffir corn mixed with mill feeds, bran, middlings or shorts, ground Alfalfa, a little salt and some animal matter like meat scraps or finely ground fish. ( a non oily variety preferred ). This mixture is not to be fed wet but absolutely dry in proper dishes or feeding devices kept constantly before the birds.

Scratch Feed is the name used for a combination of wheat, oats, barley, cracked corn, buckwheat, kaffir corn and sunflower seeds. Other combinations may be used and the proportion and quantity of the grains will necessarily vary from time to time, with the market. Always be careful that the feed contains nothing musty, mouldy or tainted.

Chickfeed means a mixture of small sized cracked grain and seeds, and usually consists of cracked wheat, com, kaffir, millet, canary seed, oats,-and in some of the best a little dried fish, which acts as a relish and stimulant.
