By R. E. Cray. Poultry Department, Ohio State University.—WNU Service. Poultrymen can reduce the costs of rations for chicks and for the laying flock by substituting pressure-cured soybean meal for part of the high priced ingredients that are used to fur nish the birds protein. Dried milk and meat scraps, two common materials used to furnish pro tein In poultry rations, cost more than the soybean meal ; and the cost of the ration for laying hens Is very im portant at this season of declining egg prices. The soybean meal can be used to replace at least one-half of the meat scrap and to reduce the amount of dried milk to 2 per cent of the lay ing ration. From 3 to 5 per cent of dried milk should be kept In chick re- tlons. Ground soybeans containing the nat ural oil cannot be used successfully as poultry feed, but the meal produced at mills where the oil Is extracted is satisfactory except that a mineral mix ture should be added. The mineral mixture can be made of 40 pounds bone meal, 20 pounds limestone, and 20 pounds salt. This mixture should be used at the rate of one pound to every five pounds of soybean meal. At present market prices, dried milk Is selling for five times as much as soybean meal and meat scraps are nearly twice as expensive. De creasing the amount of milk In the ra tion will lower the vitamin G content but this can be supplied by feeding green grass, good legume hay, or al falfa meal. good results. H is true that wheat and oat straw becomes damp quickly and if not chopped up fine Is too coarse for small chicks, yet on most farms It is by far the cheapest litter available, is grown on the farm and requires no outlay of cash. That good results can be had by using it is indisputable. The important thing about it is to use plenty—change It often. Poultry Notes A good lighting system in the poul try house Increases the annual pro duction of the birds. • « • Eggs from yearling hens are best for hatching, as breeding stock must be fully matured to obtain strong, healthy chicks. • • • The poultry industry is a sizable business, worthy of best efforts whether in research, teaching, produc tion or marketing. * • • Hens should be kept housed In win ter, but should have straw to scratch In, so they may exercise. • • • The upkeep of a flock of bantams, large or small, is about half the cost of a like amount of regular size poul try. They eat little more than a pigeon. • * « Ten per cent or more of the pullets can be culled from the flock at the end of the first laying season without ma terially affecting the number of eggs produced. - - - Senn Market Situation Before Selling Broilers Despite the fact that chickens gain weight most economically during the first two weeks of their lives, a poul- tryumn may find more profit In holding the birds until they have reached the weight which brings the highest price, observes L. M. Black, extension poul tryman at the New Jersey College of Agriculture, Rutgers university. Gen erally, the highest prices are paid for heavy, young birds, he says. Early Care Basis for If feed costs were the only Item to Future Flock Profits be considered In producing poultry The future success of the poultry meat, there would be no question as to flock depends a great deal upon the the most profitable time to dispose of Notice ! care and management of growing the birds, Mr. Black says, but broiler Pursuant to the provisions of Sec chicks In the spring.
