FEEDING CHICKENS -
81 BALANCED RATIONS
(By Robert H. ESSEX
Yet the young live and thrive on il
(By Robert H. EsseI.l

Yet the young live and thrive on t.
Nature teaches us. therefore. that
the food Of young chickens should
contain about one part protein to two
narts carbohydrates and fat. This is
from two to three parts narrower than
is generally advocated, but it has CIV
en- better results than any other !
have tried and my experiments have
been not few. Then, too, as we
have shown nature upholds it.
Do not feed hard boiled eggs In
large quantities. Such food may be
balanced correctly, but it is indigesti'
BILE for the very young chicks, and re-
member that of all foods only the
portion digested provides nutriment'
II you must feed 1t, let 1t be well
broken. Let the particles be thor
oughly separated by the use OF stale
bread crumbs, then nearly the whole
of it will be digested. 1t is far bet
ter, however, to use uncooked eggs
Mix them with bread crumbs, shorts,
corn meal or all of these, so that the
food shall not be sticky or pasty. Use
bran if you choose, but not too much,
and if you are tempted to, add III
tie clear sand. Don't be timid about
it. The shorts or middlings may be
found too sticky; bread crumbs are
best for the purpose and If you have
only a few chicks it will be well to
separate the yolk from the white OF
the egg, using only the former and
so avoid mixing too much at time.
This refers of course to the first week.
After that the chicks will take care
of it all. Steel cut or graduated oats
make good food for the second week,
also millet seed.
AS the chicks become older. say
from two weeks of age, beef scraps,
died blood, animal meat or fine
ground green bone may be used with
benefit. These foods contain in large
proportion the protein we want. and
their use enables the feeders to make
ration suitable for chicks. Care
must be taken that too much OF this
is not fed at first. Some of these
foods are too strong for young chicks,
and use them at this age only when
l can't get fresh meat-liver, etc. etc.
Just so with young chickens II
intended for market as broilers they
must have animal food to hasten their
growth and keep them in health. the
forcing to which they are subject
would run them off their legs in short
time if their food consisted exclusive
ly of grain, either whole or ground.
most desirable foods is that their
protein contents produce flesh with
out an excess of fat.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1907-06-07

Chickens need far narrower ra-
ton than do matured fowls-a ration
containing considerable animal food
and this is one Of the points wish
IN impress upon realers. Experience
has caused me to realize its impor-
lance. In the early days OF Bun Ply
mouth Rocks, their combs were 100
large. and knowing that meat, even In
small quantities tended to increase
the size of the comb. avoided its use
as much as possible. BY this course
the size of the combs was governed
to a certain extent. but what dh-
ference was visible in the growth OF
the Young birds which were supplied
with animal food and those Wnlcn
were deprived of it. We all Ike 10
experiment, and it took me few years
to find out that not only do chicks
need animal food, but they need 1t
in liberal quantities. 1t has long been
demonstrated that some MEATS neces-
sary. but in the case of young chicks
it is not generally fed in SUFFICIENT
quantities.
Feeding the newly Matched chicks,
study nature. Wild birds in feeding
their young have preferences, even in
the selection of vegetable foods. But
a very large majority gather in the
flies, busg, beedles and worms that
venture within their range, and upon
these the young warblers thrive, grow
fat and feathers, and are in very
short time in show condition. Have
Won ever noticed the quills on the
nestlings? How fast they grow
Seldom do we see chick leather SO
fast. The food that produces feathers
rapidly is the best food for chickens,
and thew should be well supplied with
II at least until they are through their
first mott. Such food will be chiefly
animal food and will compose very
narrow ration. 1t is well-known that
the yolk of the egg is absorbed py
the chick, before and after hatching.
That is natures food and it must De
good. Is it wide or narraw ration!
It is extremely narrow. One part
protein to three parts fat is con-
sidered very narrow, but TINS
first feed of a chicken is even more
so. 1t is composed of one part pro-
TEN to about two parts of fat and
please remember it is about one-nan
water-one-half water. Milk is an
other natural food for the young, and
lust as good for chickens as for babes
How is it proportioned-9.S protein
to 4 fat. Add the starchy contents and
approximately it reaches the proper.
zion of 10 Quite narrow, is 1t not!

FEED FOR FOWLS.

It is the poorest economy" In the
world to feed inferior grains. In fact
it is the greatest expense any poultry
raiser can incur. Rotten. weavel-
eaten and sprouted grain Of any kind
will do more toward retarding the
growth of chickens than any other one
thing. It will give them blind stag
gers, the same as rotten corn will
give a horse blind staggers. 1t will
stop the hens from laying. 1t gives
them a sallow, lazy look. Supply
your fowls. with plenty of wholesome
grain and soft foods II you want the
results.

DISEASED COWS.
IN DIARY HERDS
MORE NUMEROUS THAN PUBLIC
DREAMS, ACCORDING TO
CHARGE MADE.


CHICAGO, May 31.-The Executive
Committee of the American Meat
Packers Association, whose mem
bership embraces 275 large and small
packers in twenty-nine States, met
here today and unanimously adopted
resolutions asking all inspected
slaughtering establishments to buy
cows and other "she cattle" subject
to post-mortem inspection by the Uni
ted States Government. The request
was made that immediate effect be
given the resolution.
Secretary George L. Mccarthy, of
the Association, said: 1.-THE diseased
cows to which we object come from
dirty, filthy farms, and, it naturally
follows that the diary herds from
which most of them come are diseased.
the danger to the public by consum-
ing milk and other diary products
from the tubercular cows and cows
suffering from other diseases would
be appalling if it were generally
known. The farmers who are respon-
sible for this condition of affairs have
no incentive to keep their farms clean
and their herds free from diseases SO
long as they are paid full value for
diseased animals sent to market for
slaughter"

their mott is just completed. A good
way to tell is to watch their plnlon
feathers, whe nthey get near togetn-
er. Ducks should be in the right
plumage for plucking. Don't let them
stay after that, or you will have pin
feathers all over your ducks in a few
days, which spoils the plucking as
well as the looks of the bird When
dressed.-vincent G. Huntley, in

RULING ON EXPRESS RATES
In Reducing Charges Commission
Makes an Important Decision
ON Rate Principles.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Interstate
Commerce commission has rendered its
first opinion in case involving the rea-
sonableness OF an express rate. The case
was brought by the Society OF American
Florists which asserted that the rate
charged by the United States Express
company on cut flowers from New Jersey
points TO New York City was unreasonable,
excessive and unjust. Commissioner
FTanlin Lane, who delivers the opinion,
holds that the rate should be reduced
The commission rules that a rate must not
be imposed upon the shipper by reason
of contracts which the express company
has made with it's agent and the railroad,
which viii yield twice or thrice as much
to the railroad and the agent as the services
they render are reasonably worth. This
very statement carries its own answer
''An express company cannot justify a
rate which, in comparison with other rates,
is excessive and unreasonable. An express
company is entitled to charge a reasonable
amount for its service, but cannot justify
an unreasonable rate by producing its con-
tracts with the railroads.

Gently appointed by the state supreme
court, is developing legal complications.
After a weeks work and visits to five
cities in the state the receivers have taken
possession Of several hundred saloons and
some other property known to be owned
by some Of the nine indicted brewing com
panies. There has been much evasion on
the part OF the brewery agents. according
to the receivers. the title to some of their

Yesterday at Pittsburg the receivers en-
courtered new proposition when they
visited Idle Hour park, n beer garden,
operated supposedly by the Helm Brew
ing company. The receivers intended to
take charge of this property with the
avowed purpose OF selling it and turning
the proceeds into the state treasury. but
the agent in charge insisted that the brew

that the ground and buildings belonged

channels Of international trafhc In the
United States, II not In the entire world.
Thus, each year, this link in a vast sys-
tenn Of exchange is re-established with
Cleveland, Detroit. Chicago Milwaukee and
innumerable points known as feeders"
The opening OF navigation this year has
been later, owing to ice in the lake The
grain fleets are already on their way from
Duluth and Superior on the way to the
east, while the great ore carriers cf the
United States steel corporation have started
for the upper lakes. The copper carriers
were able on April 2S to break through the
ice In the Portage harbors of the Calumet
& Heca and other copper regions. Re
ports from the head Of Lake Superior show
unprecedented activity, with hundreds of
vessels waiting to discharge eastern freight
and lbad western products, the discharge
in one day April %. at Superior, Wis,
reaching the record breaking total Of l5o,-

west.
The grain situation here is somewhat bet
ter than shippers expected. but It is feared
the immense cargoes Of wheat corn, oats
ard other grains already ahoat and bound
for this port and ultimately destined for
Europe, will cause another blockade
The inability OF shippers to get cars to
handle the grain out OF the elevators
caused many heavy losses in the past, as
they were unable TO meet engagements at

ACTIVITY in GRAIN MARKET
Conflicting Reports Concerning Con-
ditiOn of winter wheat the
Cause.

CHICAGO. May 5.--The last week on the
Chicago Board Of Trade has seen re-
vival OF the activity which prevailed there
several years ago, and 1t Is predicted by
the more optimistic traders that business
will continue at a higher level for some
time to come.
The cold weather conditions throughout
the west and southwest have been the
chief cause Of the increased volume Of
trade Never In the history of the
weather bureau has such extended and
such severe weather existed at this time
of the year. The result has been a grow
ing conviction on the part of many traders
and commission men that the crop OF
winter wheat has been seriously dam
aged, and one excellent authority made
the prediction that the crop will be about
100, 600 900 bushels below that OF last year.
Conflicting reports have been received
from all sections regarding the damage in
flicted by the green bug" and from
Oklahoma especially have the reports been
of a contradictory character. BY some 1t
has been asserted that the crop has been
greatly impaired and by others that the
injury has been slight The result has
been, however, "a renewal Of something
ike old time activity on the Board OF
Trade.
