The following facts were found:
mash feed better than the dry feed.
The chicks seemed to require both
cracked and ground food, and they
craved a variety of all feeds.
The chicks fed wet mash were the
largest and plumpest, but those on the
variety ration were the most active.
These latter had no mortality up to
six weeks Next to these the lowest
| in mortality was the wet-mash flock
Chicks reared on SKINNED milk

reared on powdered-milk mash made
the greatest growth in six weeks.

est weekly gain of the experiment
Chicks having the wet mash and the
variety rations made better growth
than those having dry mash OF
cracked grain.
Chicks having dry mash made the
least gain in weight per chick, a
greatest cost per pound.
The wet mash and the variety ra
ton focks ate less per pound weight
and at less cost per pound weight thar
the flock having the dry rations.
Dry feeding cost less for labor pc
100 chicks than the wet mash.
The variety ration cost more TO
labor per 100 chicks for the first tire,

Considering the number Of chick
