Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 74, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 December 1912 — Use Charcoal Freely. [ARTICLE]

Use Charcoal Freely.

Charcoal should be freely used In the poultry yard. Pounded fine and mixed with the soft feed fed to the , fowls, it cleanses the system of impurities. As it acts upon the blood it I acts upon the life of the fowl. When the blood is thick and clotty, a dull/ sick chicken will soon follow. Thin , blood means vigorous circulation, and on a good circulation of blood, health largely depends. If your fowls lack activity, they need something to stir the blood out of its sluggishness. It t is best to keep the charcoal in a dry I place, and when needed, grind or pound some fine and mix with soft food.
