I remember filling a 5 gal bucket part of the way with food and all the way with water. Within a short time it would be mounding over, a 5 gallon bucket of mush. The texture of cheap canned food. In the summer it was filled by the water hose. In the winter warm water from the barn. I can't remember the size of the scoop but it was scoop per dog. Between the beagles, the coon hounds, the three bird dogs and 20 or so bulldogs it took 10 gallons of feed to feed all the dogs.

I am thinking it called for table spoons but I can see us just pouring a shot here and a shot there of the Red Cell. Thinking back we were more than likely over doing it with that and the Clovite.

It is wild how feed has changed over the years. Old fellow that lived down the road had hunting dogs, beagles and hounds. He ran a chicken house for a living. After candling the eggs the ones that were not seeded were fed to the dogs. Some days it would be 10-12 dozen or more. He would cook rice in a big pot and then would soft boil them in the big stew pot. Let them cool and mash them shells and all. He would throw the dead chickens in there ever so often.

Dogs ran great, looked slick as a button and the only down fall they could shit thru screen wire. Once the runny shit matted down in the chicken feathers it was easy to rake. LOL

I think about how I feed mine now and think some of the dogs back then should have just fell over and croaked.
