sufficient area to supply the desired amount of ice success in ice storage depends upon fulfilling the following conditions 1 that the ice be cut from a body of clean water 2 the cakes should all be of the same size and not less than ten inches thick 3 the ice should be stored on a cold dry day 4 the blocks of ice should be pack ed together as closely as possible without any filler excepting finely broken ice is such is needed 5 dry sawdust filling at least twelve inches thick should be placed so that their crops will be full when they go to roost without an undue amount of grain being left on the floor dry mash dry mash is an essen tial for winter egg production and the birds should consume as much as possible commercial mash may be used but a series of nine experiments conducted upon the dominion experi mental farms recently have shown that for total production and profits a homemixed mash consisting of equal parts by weight of bran shorts cornmeal and oat chop with twenty per cent of beefmeal is more econ omical than any of the commercial mashes which have been tried this mash should be kept continu ally before the birds in a hopper and a very small quantity moistened

which must not be omitted foremost among these is green feed which apart from its nutritive value serves to keep the birds in good health this is the part of the ration of the aver age farm flock
