FEEDS FOR POULTRY Though the feeding of poultry U a much debated subject In poultry hus bandry, there la no on boat feed or combination of feeda. Reaulta de pend almoat aa much upon the ability of the foeder end the methods of feeding as on tlio kinds of gralna thorn selves. ti.i aimnleat feed mixtures and the i home-grown grains should usual! be selected, me rauons Tarying wuu me -changes in the market prices of 'grains. It Is advisable for most poul try ralsors to mix their own feeds, as in this way they can control the proportion of the varloua Ingredients una oDtain tne prociae mixture mat khov desire. If. however, one de- r ylres to purchaso prepared feeds, In formation concerning tne ainerent Commercial articles may usually be icured from the state experiment tuiion. nun experiment sisuon rill analyse poultry feeds and report m the different commercial prepare ions sold by dealers In their states. Poultry feeds may be divided for onvenlonce Into five general classes: First, gralna, both whole and tracked; second, ground grains, fed in the form of a mash; third, meat 'pods; fourth, minora! feeds; and ilth, green feods. j Corn, cracked corn, wheat and heat screenings, oats, barley, rye, td buckwheat, are. the principal ruins, while of the ground feods we ive corn meal and corn chop, corn tb meal, - wheat bran, middlings,' iorts and low grade flour, oatmeal, tt flour and ground or crushed oats id mixed feeds. fin the moat feods, or feeds supply g animal protein, are boot scrap, at moal, ground green bone, and flous forms of milk; while bone tel. dry bone oyster shells and grit, Ike up the mineral feeds, and with arcoal and green feeds, complete t common feeding materials. Muny ground foodo, which are by . oducts of the common grains, are ' ed to good advantage In feeding. In j mblnatlon -with ' grain and beef) np. The ground grains and' meat da are more forcing than the whole )lns commonly used, while the nbluatlon of the whole grains ih the ground feeds makes a more inomlcal feed and a better bai ted ration than the whole grain ine. The feed elementa are uau f choaper In the ground than In I whole grains, as the formor are products of many of the grains Hi for human consumption. Ground llna and beef scrap. In combine B, either wet or dry, make what is tad a "mash." These by-products I higher in protein than moat of I common grains, so a balanced ion Is secured by combining whole 4ns with the mash. Borne of the iund grains, such as bran and mld- Irs, add a large percentage of k to the ration, which Is bene- 1. . nlmal protein la considered essen- to the host results In feed In r it poultrymen feed meat In some si, while suburban poultrykeepera lor feed thla product or table t ftpa; but few farmers buy any i It food. Some form of feed con 't Blng animal protein must be sup td If any eggs are to be obtained I Jtie fall and winter. Skim milk or I kermllk Is available on many r ms, and where It Is not It would bably pay most farmers to buy t scrap or some other meat feed. ls on free range on the farm pick tbugs and Insects during part or I year, whloh finish this protein d, so that the. use of additional It feeda Is regulated by Indlvld- conditions. Fowls closely cou ld need more animal food than e on a good range; and In a cold hate, where no bugs or Insects are lilable during several of the wln- months, more animal feed must .supplied than In sections whore winters are mild. well balanced ration contains the per proportion of protein and car drates for Its purpose with the Jeral matter bulk, and palatabll- that are necessary to give good Jlng results. There Is no best Jon, and the practical application science In poultry feeding Is to ;w what proportion of these sub Ices gives good feeding results (then to use roughly this relative portion In making rations or in Itltutlng different feeds, accord to their price and availability. f "curing fall and winter eggs I first essential Is to have pullets matured before cold weather, jeh means hatching birds of gen I purpose breeds In March and ). The average farmer hatches chickens too late to secure eggs ie fall. With well-matured pul iand Improved feeding methods iors could secure more eggs In tor than they obtain under pres condltloni. f well-balanced simple ration may )ade of equal parts, by wejght, of it, cracked corn, and oats, fed e dally, usually in the morning at night. The grain may be er scattered on the range In sum and In the Httein the poultry house In winter, or fed In the house throughout the year. It should be supplemented with a dry or wet mash of two parts corn meal and one part each of wheat bran, middlings, and boot scrap. One feed of mash may.be fed at any time during tli day and the grain fed for tlio other two meals. Regulate the proportion or grain and maun so thut the lion wll consume about equal parts of each. About one quart of grain dally should be fed to every It Leghorn hens, or to 13 general purpose hens such as the Plymouth Hoek, with an equal weight of mash. This amount, however, varies, and should be reg ulated by the feedor, as the lions should be eager for each meal. Lee horns will eat about 56 pounds of grain and mash a year, and Plym outh Rocks, or hens of the general purpose class about 76 pounds. FIRK! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! Soe E. E.
