grailable because of an overanpply bringing the price to a point where it can be profitably fed to stock. Even of corn, which is produced in such enormous quantities, a large proportion of what is sold for stock feeding is of poor quality. As a result of modern methods of preparing and handling foodstuffs for man, by-prod-■ets of mills and packing houses, in great number and quantity, are placed on the market for stock feeding. The profitable use •f these requires some knowledge of the composition and feeding properties and values of foods. ^ » WHEAT Wheat contains the principal nutrients in about the proportions that analysis of ordinary good complete rations of mixed grains show. Physically, as compared with other grains commonly used for poultry, a grain of wheat is medium to small insize, and is smooth, having" no hull. Varieties and grades of wheat vary in oolor, plumpness, and hardness. The harder an ddarker-colored wheats are richest in protein and most valuable as poultry foods. Whole wheat may be fed Sxclusively to poultry without apparent detriment, for a longer period than any other grain. It is prefered by most kinds of poultry to all other grains except corn. TABLES 1.

Screenings are often heavily uadlteratcd with weed seeds, grain hulls, etc., and are very generally sold at too high a price, because many purchasers will take the lowest priced article of its kind without considering quality. It is quite usual to- find wty-at screenings selling readily at only 10 or 12 per cent, below the price of good wheat, when the value (hecause of adulterants may be 15 to 20 per cent or even more, less than that of good wheat. Wheat flour not suitable for bread making is a most valuable ingredient in mashes, bcth adding to the nutrients and improving the consistency of mashes made from coarse by-products. Lowgrade flour is also called "Red Dog Flour." MIDDLINGS Coarse flour and fine bran, in varying proportions in different lots and in the products of different mills, is called middlings. In many sect ions middlings, as a separate article, is rarely found en the market. BRAN Bran is the coarser part of ground wheat. Pure bran is much lower in feeding value than is indicated by its analysis. Mluch of the product now sold as bran contains a large proportion of middlings and is also sold under the names "mixedd feed" and '■ shorts." STALE BREAD The greater part of stale bread used for poultry food is white bread, but often the refuse bread from city bakeries, hotels and restaurants contains considerable nroDortions of other kinds of bread and of cake. All such varieties are valuable food for poultry and, at the usual prices, are cheap food. CORN In nearly all parts of the United States field corn is the prin cipal grain used for poultry food: In percentages of nutrients it denes not differ -gfeatly from wheat, except in fats. The grains of corn are from 4 to 6 times as large as grains of wheat. As a rule, when poultry have aecess to a variety of wljolp grains, they eat the corn first. When cracked corn is mixed with other grains, this preference is less marked, which suggests that the larger size of the grain may be the attraction. Yellow and white corn show in analysis no difference in principal nutrients. In feeding practice no difference is noted, except that yellow eorn gives its color to • the fat of birds fed on it and to the yolks of their eggs. Many Poultry, keepers consider hard (flint ) eorn better than soft (dent) corn, but in common practice no difference is olwerved. Sweet corn and pop eorn are practically the same in feeding value as field oorr. but are not generally available for poultry feeding. Because* whole com may be eaten so rapidly that a full meal is quickly secured without exercfre. the practice of feeding cracked corn has become general. Crack<*d corn, when fresh, does not differ in composition from the whole corn of which it was made, but after being cracked it may deteriorate rapidlv, especially in warm weather. It is peculiarly subject to heating and to molds, and when stale or moldy is a most unsafe food, particularly for vpnng slock. It is usually cracked i ntwo sizes — coarse, for general use. and fine, for small chicks. Corn is the most easily digested of the common grains. Because of this and its hentirig properties, the free use of eorn for fowls in close confinement and not plentifully supplied with green food is usuallv followed, in hot weather, by digestive disorders. With due attention to exercise, and with abnndart supplies of green food and the less concentrated animal foods (insects, milk) good results may be obtained from a diet ic which corn is the only grain Ted. In extreme cold weather it may be fed more freely.

Coarse UDbolted meal is to be preferred, and if mashes are cooked or given time to swell after mixing, the coarser corn chip will be still better. The corn meals on the market vary greatly in quality; J a great dral of what is offered for stock feeding is made of inferior or damaged corn. Corn meal is very liable to heat in warm weather. The heating may be stooped by spreading the meel 2 or 3 inches thick in a bin or on a clear floor, but is the meal when cold ■of 11a musty or tour, it should sot be fed to poultry.

CORN BRAN AND CORN MIDDLINGS Corn bran has considerably less food value than eorn meal. Corn middlings is richer that meal in both protein and fat, and probably has a slightly greater feeding value. CORN AND COB MEAL. Unless a large part of the coarse, fibrous material of the cob is sifted out, corn and cob meal does not make a satisfactory poultry food. As a rule, poultry-men prefer to dilute corn meal mixtures with wheat bran or finely cut hay. HOMINY MEAL The soft part of the kernel of fcorn remaining after the hard part has been separated in the manufacture of hominy grits and in localities where it can be obtained is often substituted for it, as the more economical of the two foods. GLUTEN MEAL AND GLUTEN MEEDS Gluten meal is one of the products separated from corn in the manufacture of glucose; gluten feed is a mixture of this with other by-products of the same process. Both are very rich in protein and fat. They are not extensively used for poultry, chiefly, perhaps because meat meals and scraps have been found so satisfactory in supplementing the supplie of those elements in the ordinary poultry foods. WOLE OATS When of good quality, whole oats are about equal to wheat in feeding value. The fibrous hull makes them less acceptable to poultry than a smooth grain, and when a choice is offered, they neglect the oats. When kept on an oat diet, however, they eat freely, provided they are of good quality. Birds familiar with other grains show a lack of eagerness for hulled oats and various milled forms of oats; this indicates that the fibrous hull is not the only feature objectionable to them. It is probable that the objectionable property is the fat. hwich is as abundant as in eorn and has a less pleasing flavor. The generally poor quality of oats offered for stock fod tends to diminish their use as a poultry food. Tabic Xo.

This idea of its quality was Iwsed on tradition rather than on j results. It was common, years ago, for poultry growers to buy the pinhead oat meal prepared for human food, paying for it 3 or 4 times the prices of corn products, which, with a little modification. could he made equal in nutrient values (if that were necessary) and which are much preferred by the poultry. Of late years the use of ktats products for young chickens is less common, and rolled oats is generally used instead "of oat meal. At the usual prices they are economical foods. OAT BRAN AND OAT FEED. As table three shows, oat bran and oat feed contain very large percentages of f.-ier. They are rarely offered f-ir sale as straight products, but appear in combination with 'ingredients which! supplement their deficiencies. 4£T MIDDLINGS Oat middlings is a hifeh quality product but is not extensively manufactured and is not much used for poultry. SROUTED OATS Oats sprouted until the blades are from 4 to 6 inches long are much relished by poultry, but it is usually more economical to provide a green food which docs not require so much care and preparation. BARLEY By analysis barley appears almost identical with wheat in feeding value. Its nutritive ratio is slightly narrower and by so so much nearer to that of average good rations. As usually sold, with the hull on it, it is eaten by poultry less readily than wheat, but in barly of good grade, the proportion of fiber is small cora- ' pared with the fiber content of good oats, and fowls habituated to the use of whole barley, and not also supplied with wheat, will eat it quite as freely as they would wheat. In practical feeding, wheat and harlev show no difference in results. There is an increasing use of whole barley as food, in harlev growing sections. Its nsc in other sections is less general, because of irregularity of supply. It is usually at a figure enough lower than the priee of wheat of corresponding quality to make it amo re economical food.

BARLEY MEAL Farley meal is almost ur'n own to American poultry keepers. Very, little of this grain Iteini* milled. MALT SPROUTS The sprouts removed from barley sprouted in the manufacture . of beer are used principally for cattle feed, but occasionally for poultry. * DRTED BREWER S,GRA INS The residue from barley is the manufacture of beer, consists of a small part of the starch with most of -the glufen ; the germ, and the hull is called brewer's grain. Its use as poult ry food has not been extensive enough to determine its value. At an appropriate priee it should be a valuable food. RYE From the poultry feeder's standpoint rve is anomaly among grains. As analyzed, it closely resembles wheat, and is markedly unlike in appearance: the grains are smooth and a little smaller in size. When fed to poultry accustomed to other grains, rye is eaten by them reluctantly and in small qnantities. On the other hand, the faet that poultry having access to ground recently seeded with rye. though liberally fed o Bother grains, eat it as readily as any grain, sngc-psts that the changes incident to germination make it more palatable to them. The extent tto which rye is used as food for both hnman beings and live lddek in some foreign conntries indicates that it does not differ greatly from the other grains in actual feeding value, and that, if necessary, it might be more extensively used here. With abundancce of other foods there is no occasion to force poultry to a- rye diet.
