Keep a good hylnf mash in front of the birds at all times and if table scraps are available these may be mixed with a small portion of moist mash, or moist mash may be fed without scraps once a day. The main oflm in feeding is to have the birds consume as much of the laying mash as possible to insure _ continuous _ production. Don‘t forget grit and oyster shell. The latter is especially important during the summer because egg shells tend to be weak. or three hours per day after they are fed where there is an abunâ€" dance of green feed. in the run, the birds should be allowed out during midâ€"day so that they can take advantage of this shade.

By thus "selecting" the trees, mistakes by the chopper are avoided. f The most important part in sucâ€" cessful woodlot management is the proper selection of trees to be cut, says D.

A good practice is to confine each year‘s operations to about oneâ€" tenth of the woodlot so that the whole area is cut over once every ten years.
