CAN REDUCE COST
OF POULTRY FEED
May Replace Costly Rations
With Soybean Meal.
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

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
