The Important role the farm

every committeeman should as

have Its help and protection for

, Cuttle prices In Portland have
reached a new' high for the year.
The greatest demand is for well
finished stuff with sausage ma

is on throughout the country to
have rattle raisers Increase their
slaughter to take advantage of
present favorable prices and to
prepare thefr herds for post-war
conditions.
SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS
Only 1100 head of sheep and
lnmbs were available for sale at
North Portland Monday, which
helped boost prices from 33 to
If cents higher than-last-week.

f)otind fed woolcd lambs brought
$11.80. The market at San Fran
cisco was steady with a top of
$12, although both Chicago and
Omaha reported lower prices,

PRODUCTION
GOOD IP HENS
ME FED HIGH
T
Why feed chickens If you don't
get eggs? After all, eggs are im
portant to the poultryman and
especially at this time of year.
Statistics hove shown for a good
many years that egg prices arc
higher during the winter months
than any other season of the
year. Proper feeding of luylng
hens, I one of tho molar factors
to bo considered in building up
and maintaining egg production.
All that feeding can be expected
to do Is to supply a well-balanced
diet that will promote maximum
production if fed in such a way
as to stimulate healthful activity.
The method of feeding poultry
Is fully as Important as the feed
materials.
Fowls of all uges should be fed
so that their appetites arc never
entirely satisfied except when
they go to roost. Grain mixtures,
or scratch feeds should be fed In
a deep Utter compelling the birds
to exercise vigorously for what
being Wayne Stewart, John Day,
vice president.
Wool growers hove a double
responsibility In the victory
drive, one being (o keep the
muxlmum volumo of wool flow
ing to tho nation's mills for use
of tho armed forces particularly,
and the second is to produce a
maximum amount of lumb meat
for food, the officers point out.
Program details havo not
been announced, but arrange
ments have been made to have
both the wool and meot phases
of the Industry adequately cov
ered, together with some general
topics of interest. In the later
category is a scheduled major
address by Dr. O. R. Chambers,
head of the psychology depart- j
ment at Oregon State college, on J
"Maintaining Morale."
they got. A skillful poultry feed
er will watch his flock carefully
and make frequent observations
of the birds' physical condition;
and body maintenance. By pick-;
Ing up a bird here and there in j
the flock at feeding time, he can
note the general condition of the i
flock and see If they are too fat!
to lay well. Tho scratching litter
should be examined dally to see '
if the birds are cleaning up all
of the grains thnt arc being fed. -Over-feeding
is a general error j
made by many poultrymcn. Feed j
is often placed on the bore
ground and tho birds have no
Incentive for exercise ond they1
gorge, themselves while feeding
which generally results In diges
tive troubles and consequently!
results In a drop in egg produc
tion. To feed skillfully tukes no !
additional time or labor and pays
in larger egg yields.
Variety of Feed
Poultry as well as humans get
tired of the same food or of Just
one thing day after day. The
feeding of one grain alone will
not give the results ,as a mixture;
of two grains, and a mixture of
three or four grains Is still bet-'
ter. It pays to feed grain mix-j
tures and mash mixtures con-'
toinlng a wide variety of feeds.1
That is, if feed prices will allow'
and grains ure available, because
variety increases pulatabillty
and paiatabilily increuses the ef
ficient use of the feed consumed
by stimulating the secretion of
digestive Juices. If only one grain
is fed there is a chance that some
of the essential food elements
will be lacking, also, and the
health and production of the
birds will thereby be affected.
Changing Rations
The grain and mush rations
may be changed from time to
time to meet changing conditions'
in the available supply and cost:
of the feeds, by changing the pro-1
portions of the feeds. H is recom-!
mended, however, that three
grains be used in the ration, not
using more than 50 or less'
than 20 of each. If barley and '
oats are Included in the ration,
not more than 50 of both
should be used due to the
amount of fiber contained in the
hulls. Wheat is one of the most
widely used grains for poultry
reeding, but It is not indispensi-
ble, providing the mash is well
supplied with wheat mill feeds,
such as bran shorts.
Feeding Sproutad Grains
Sprouted grains are fed poul
try for two reasons (1) to in
crease paiatabilily (2) to furnish
green feed during the winter
months. Barley and oats are the
two grains generally used. These
grains are allowed to sprout un
til the sprout is about one-fourth
inch long before feeding. Not
only does sprouted grain in
crease palatabllity and furnish
green feed, it is more easily di
gested because some of the
starch Is converted to sugar. The
feeding of sprouted grain has
been found very beneficial In in
creasing egg production during
the fall and winter months.
Animal Products for Protein
Ground fresh, raw, green bone
can be used as a substitute for
commercial dried meat scrap.
This green bone meal should be
fed at the rate of 3 pounds of
green bonemeal for each one
pound of meat scrap replaced.
Sour sklmmllk or buttermilk
will also take the place of meat
scrap if the milk can be kept con
stantly before the fowls. They
will consume as much as 35 to 40
pounds of milk per 100 birds
daily. One pound of the commer
cial dried meatscrap is equiva
lent to approximately 15 pounds
of skimmitk or buttermilk.
Grits should not be neglected
In the poultry ration as it is nec
essary to grind the food making
it more readily digestible.
We must remember that feeds
alone will not get egg produc
tion. Start with healthy chicks
from proven stock, brought into
production under sanitary condi
tions, with good management
and feeding and you will have a
farming enterprise which will
give high returns for dollars and
time invested. Poultry diseases
arc difficult to control and sani
tation is the best method of pre
venting disease.
