Mash Is Not So Important,
Pouitryman Says.
When pullets are from 12 to 24
weeks old. It Is best to feed them
two or three times as much grain
as mash because birds at this stage
of growth require considerably less
protein for good development than
do younger birds.
Tills change Ui ration m ay be
made easily, for If birds of this age
are allowed free access to both grain
and mash at all times, they will
adjust their feeding habits to suit
their needs.
Allowing pullets to m ake their
own choice about the amount of
mash and grain they cal. especially
when they are fio m 12 to 24 wrecks
of age. has proven desirable from
many standpoints It encourages the
development of norm al body weight
and good health, and It promotes
normal egg production with the
least number of pee-wee and pullet
size eggs This method of feeding
may be continued until egg pro
duction exceeds 30 per cent

briefly this. A sam ple of blood of a
bird is brought into contact with a
standardized suspension of Salm on

solution. This liquid iscalled antigen.
When antigen comes Into contact
either with the blood or serum of the
infected bird a definite reaction
takes place which can be easily ob
