E 11 I 1 - Making Money i On the Farm XI— Poultry Feeding I — j' I 6y C. V. GREGORY, i ttkor of "torn Goto k Modora AoMon" ! CwM »•». W A—*— 0— A»nh«i«. THERE are four main objects la feeding poultry— to maintain life, to cause growth, to produce eggs and to fatten. A large share of the feed given to any animal goes to maintain life. It la Mty when a fowl receives an esceoa •ear that amount that It can grow, produce eggs or lay on fat Thus It prlD be seen that It pays to feed liberally. The wider the margin over Oa maintenance ration up to the pmount the bird is able to use the prsater will be the profit On the farm fowls will pick up most of their food, at least through the summer time. Yet even then they

$

must be given some food, especially of the kinds that they are not able to . find for themselves. The most plentlful food on the average farm and the one tfcat the birds are most likely to get Is corn. Corn Is a beating food and Is not suited for laying bens or n growing chickens If fed alone. Some )r oats can be used for the older fowls, T but this feed is not suited for young )t chickens unless ground. Oats are an e, especially good food for laying hens. b' One of the best grain feeds is wheat. n. It la usually too expensive to be fed w very extensively, but It may often be j used for part of the ration. -Wheat, y either whole or cracked, makes a y splendid feed fof young chicks. A 0 mixture of wheat and oats grown to- p gether makes an excellent feed for p all kinds of stock as well as poultry. & Ullllng byproducts, such as shorts, a bran and oil meal, can be mixed In ti small quantities with the Other feeds e* and fed to advantage. e. Succulent Food Necessary. n One of the greatest needs of poultry £ In winter Is some kind of succulent " feed. This can be provided by storing away a quantity of cabbage, turnips, 8 mangels and pumpkins. These can be c chopped up during the winter and fed 8 with other feeds or given alone. The 8 fowls will relish them very much and ' make a liberal response at the egg has- r ket. If there is a silo on the place 8 some silage may be fed to the fowls to advantage. It is cheap and appetixing. Clover and alfalfa hay chopped line In a feed cutter make good roughage. If soaked In hot water before feeding the bens will eat large amounts. Either bran or cut alfalfa may be mixed In the masb feeds In the proportion of one-quarter to three-quarters of the grain. Value of Animal Food. When allowed free range fowls ob tain large amounts of animal food In tbe form of inBecta. Some feed of this kind la esseutial If the best results are to be secured. Beef scrap Is a packing house byproduct that can be purchased at n reasonable price. It Is a very yaluable feed for growing chickens and laying bens. The most n common animal food__on the farm is I t sklminllkl This is «f valuable feea for ' " all classes of fowls. At the Virginia t experiment station It was found that j sklmmllk is worth a dollar a hundred | as a food for laying hens. Buttermilk 1 r Is also a good feed. If you have many ! i laving hens and can get plenty of j r frfeh bones from the butcher It will ■ f pay to get a bone cutter and make lib- j t eral use of <-ut bone as a food. It Is j high In protein aud also contains a t large amount of the mineral foods so t badly ueeded by the laying hens. t Mineral foods form au Important ( part of the ration. Of the dry matter i of the egg 35.6 per cent is composed i of mineral matter. Crushed oyster or t clam shells, plaster and slaked lime ■ are the best sources of minerals. I Fowls also need grit to assist In grinding their food. A pile of sharp < •and In tqp poultry yard Is one of the 1 best means of supplying this. Charcoal I Is a good preventive of Intestinal troc- > bles. A box of It should be kept 1 where they oaa get at It at all ttmaa. 1 A little salt mixed with this charcoal - Is beneficial < Feeding Young Chicks. There are three especially Important < reeding problems that confront the j poultry reiser— feeding young chicks, j feeding for egg production and fatten- , lng. The greatest source of loss In j poultry raising 's Improper feeding of , young chickens. Tbe newly hatched , chicks should not receive any feed at all until they are forty -eight hours old. |

Crumbs of dry or toastsd bread make good feed for tbe first few days. They may be moistened with a little milk or fed dry. Chicks will do better If I most of their food Is given In a dry ' form. One of tbe most common mls- > takes made In feeding chickens Is In ' giving too much. They should nqver i be fed more soft food than they will | eat up clean In fifteen or twenty mln- ! utes. Dry grain scattered In straw or cut clover will, of course, last longer. Plenty of pure water, grit and char , coal should be provided. Any scheme that will compel the chicks to exert themselves In getting at their food will be beneficial to their health. The less they arc permitted to bolt their food the less liable to digestive troubles win they become. The breadcrumbs may continue to form a considerable part of the ration ^ for two or three weeks. Hard boiled eggs chopped fine and mixed with the crumbs are good If not fed In too large amounts. Oatmeal Is one of tbe best grain foods, but Is too expensive to feed extensively. Crushed corn or wheat Is a good feed to scatter In tbe litter. By the time the chicks are three weeks old grain can replace the , breadcrumbs entirely. About a week ( later a little beef -scrap can be added to the ration. Sklmmllk can be given | from the time they are a week old. , The best way to feed sklmmllk Is to , let It sour until It becomes curdy. Then pour off the whey and feed tbe curd ( fresh or dried. It to greatly liked by ( chicks in either form. The chicks , should be fed three times a day and [ oftener If they are not allowed to run out As they grow older the oats may , be cut down In amount and the cheaper grains fed more liberally. Fssding For Egg Production. , If winter eggs are desired It to important that the hens and pullets be fed In such a way as to stimulate egg production. The animal food part of the ration, which to very Important, may consist of either beef scrap or dried curd. This should be put In s self feeding hopper, where the bens ean get to It at all times. Hoppers containing charcoal grit and oyster shells should also be provided and kept full. Fresh water to Important and should be supplied plentifully. Automatic fountains are tbe best " eana of waterfountains tne oesi • eans oi water-

ing when the weather to not too cold. In cold weather water should be given to troughs at least twice a day. This matter of giving laying fowls a proper amount of water to not as well attended to as It should be. The breakfast for the laying hens may consist of shelled corn scattered In the litter In the scratching shed. This will keep the hens scratching all the forenoon and will give them the exercise which they need to keep healthy and In laying condition. At a dry feed of mixed oats and wheat can be scattered In the straw. keeps the hens scratching two or hours longer. The main feed of the day to given at night in the form of a mash. A mash consisting of one part bran or cut clover or alfalfa, one part ground corn, one part ground oats and one part middlings to very good, •lthongh there are many other mixthat can be used. In cold weaththe mash should be fed warm. After eating the mash the hens will go to roost warm and comfortable and with full crops— conditions which favor a high egg yield. In feeding laying hens tbe aim should be to give all they will eat up clean. In addition to the rations given, of the green feeds mentioned should be fed If they can be obtained. the summer the bens have free aftd can get plenty of green food and Insects. This, together with the lower price of eggs, makes It unproflt-

able to give much high priced feed at j I this season of the year. The charcoal l and grit should be fed nil' tbe year I Fattening. It Is the common practice to let the chickens run until along toward fall, when the cockerels arc • aught and ' sold without any special preparation for market. At the usual fall prices | j the cockerels yield a fair profit. This profit can 1 • greatly increased by fattening tbem for a few weeks before | marketing. A bunch of twenty or thlr- 1 can be shut In a yard together and fed a grain mixture consisting of two parts corn and one part shorts. They will gain rapidly on such feed and in or three weeks will be ready to be marketed with a considerable Increase In price and weight. Where a special market' tor high class poultry can be obtained It pays to crate fatten. This to done by confintbe birds in slatted crates, tiered under a shed. They are fed some such a mash as ground oats, two parts; ground barley, one part, jnd ground corn one part, mixed with sklmmllk. This to fed In troughs three times a day. giving the chickens all they will clean up In thirty mlnutaa. one to two pouDds can be put on each one In three weeks, and tbe quality of tbe meat to greatly Improved at tbe same time, enough to double tbe price If a high class market can be secured. A still higher quality of meat can be obtained If tbe chicks are capontoed when they an three or four months old.

DOPING THE FEEDS. Swindlers have humped their back doping feeds since the rise In prices o grain and grain products. Bran selling at $22 to *30 per ton ] been salted to tbe extent of 200 to 800 hundredweight to the ton, salt ! selling at 12.50 to $3.50 per ton. Bice hulls and corncobs pulverized 1 to dust are mixed with bran and middlings, and offal, corncobs and have been found prominent in . "A1 chop." The prepared chick and hen foods ; been an easy mark for swindlers, all sorts of old stock being dumpet Into tbem, the seed companies and seed stores being especially generous with their old beans, peas, sweet corn and what not. These feeds, selling from $40 to $60 per ton. In many cases ware moldy, dusty and had a big proportion of oyster shell and grit that only costs from $4 to $6 per ton. Even certain highly guaranteed beef scrap to carrion and tankage, in one case mixed with oak bark. It to your business to have suspected articles analyzed, to put the matter In the hands of proper authorities, for in most of the states there are stringent laws to meet cases like these. D0NT8. Don't let the late chicks be without •hade. They need extra care and fare. Don't feed molting hens heavy. Tbe lean hen always finishes her molt and •tarts to lay first. Don't leave your fine stock in the care of a know not and go off on a Jaunt. When a man gets gay It doesn't Don't wait to prepare winter quarters for young stock until the frosts prepare your birds for the undertaker Don't spray fruit and potatoes with paris green and acetate of lead while chickens are around or you'll be putting them under groundDon't keep that strong disinfects nt In the drinking water. Make your place sanitary, keep real cool and let the other fellow play the fool. Don't let the ground In those pens get rank. Scatter lime and get busy with the spade or cholera will make raid. Don't let those birds you Intend t<> show get along anyway and then ex pect to fix them up In a day. Tour chance to win will be tbln.
