Practical guidance on supplying grit to fowls kept in runs or confined spaces. Explains that grit aids digestion, outlines suitable types and sizes for adult birds and chicks, and cites experiments showing fowl craving and health benefits from regular grit access.

Poultry Manures and Their Proper Use
Poultry manure should be kept dry and mixed with about twice its bulk of dry loam immediately after removal from the fowl house. It benefits from being stored under cover for a few months, with wood ashes or soot added if possible. Turn the heap once or twice before use and protect it from rain if shed space is unavailable. Moderate dressing boosts many fruits and vegetables.

It notes American interest in Spitzbergen coal, China’s vast reserves, and Mexican wells, while wheat, wood, and fuel issues imply a labor and moral challenge rather than a simple energy shortfall.
