GREEN POULTRY FEED

In the daily ration which is fed to
the hens now competing in the inter
national egglaying contest now being
conducted by the department of live
stock of the Panama Pacific interna-
tional exposition, there is included a
portion of sprouted oats. The ease
with which this highly desirable poul-
try food may be prepared is shown
to the daily visitors in the poultry
building. A rack containing ten trays
each of sufficient area and depth to
contain the requisite amount of green
feed for the 90 birds now in the con
test is placed in the main hall of the
poultry building where all visitors
may see it. AS each tray is emptied
its place is Immediately taken by an
other filled with oats. AS it requires
ten days in which to properly sprout
and grow the oats to the necessary
size, there are ten trays. In those
sections of the country where winter
eggs have a high value, an oat-sprout-
ing device of the kind would be high
ly profitable and very inexpensive
Many of the thousands of visitors who
throng the poultry building at the
exposition have learned new facts or
new applications of old facts which
will be used to advantage on their own
farms and ranches, and among these
perhaps none has higher value than
this simple and easy method of sup
plying green feed for laying hens dur
ing the winter season

BREEDING POULTRY

T. +. Quisenberry, of the National
Egg Laying Contest. of Mountain
Grove. Missouri, gives these rules for
breeding poultry:
Breed only from stock of high vi
tally which has never been seriously
sick with any disease.
Breed from mature males and fe-
males.
Breed from birds as nearly ideal in
shape and color as possible. A good
all-round bird is better to use as a
breeder than bird exceptionally good
in one point and exceptionally poor
in others.
Let the male be exceptionally
strong in points where the female is
weakest, and vice versa.
Instead of buying ten males at 81
each, and thus getting very ordinary
males to head your flock, it is much
better to get one good male at $40 and
mate him in a separate pen to ten or
twelve of your very choicest females
The condition of the parent stock
is largely. in fact almost wholly re.
sponsible for the condition of the baby
chicks. A chick well born is hall
raised
Good strong. vigorous males and
females, properly mated. will store
so much vitality in the eggs that the
embryo can stand a lot of abuse in
incubation, and the baby chick will
overcome and outlive many of our
mistakes in faulty breeding and i'm
proper feeding.

EVIDENCE FAVORS
LAYING ON FLESH
WHEN COW Is DRY

The theory that a dairy COW should
never appear fat has been commonly
accepted by dairymen. 1t has even
been thought that during the period
the COW is dry and at freshening time
something was wrong if she gave any
indication of laying on flesh or fat.
The business of the highly bred dairy
COW is to produce milk and when in
full production the COW that is dis
posed to lay on flesh is generally
found to be small producer. In other
words, she does not have the heredi-
tary function of producing milk de-
veloped to the highest degree. The
really high-class dairy COW, while Civ
ing milk, takes all the feed she can
handle and converts it to the one pur-
pose of milk production.
Some of the very best dairymen in
the country do not care if their cows
do get fat during the short period
when they are not giving milk. In
fact, where large records are to be
made it has been found that getting
the COW in good condition before
freshening is an important factor in
making it possible to bring about in
creased production.
A writer tells of his experiences
along this line on highclass DAIRY
farm where he was employed during
one winter. On the farm were FIVE
Holstein cows that were as fat as
seals at freshening time. He states
that one of these cows in particular
"a large, deep-bodied animal weigh
ing 1900 pounds-was fairly loaded
with fat. The writer's previous teach
ings had been that fat on dairy COW
was indication of low production. He
found the following year that these
five cows averaged close to $4,000
pounds of milk each. The latest one
of the lot at freshening time produced
$4,000 pounds of milk in ten months
and freshened again within the year.
These cows were most assuredly
not of beefy type. They were cows
that had high-class production bred
into them and simply had stored up
during the period they were not Civ
ing milk big reserve of fat upon
which they later drew. Milk produc-
ton is most assuredly an inherited
function and if dairy cow inherits
this function in a high degree no
amount of food can possibly convert
her into beef animal.-Kansas

BACKYARD POULTRY HOUSE

Don't put the chicks from different
matches in one brood
Keep the brooder temperature SUI
iciently high so the chicks can keep
comfortable.
Spade up small piece of ground
where the hen and brood can scratch
1t will provide exercise and develop
sturdy chicks.
Set the water vessels up off the
ground or brooder floor to keep the
chicks from scratching litter into
them.
A fresh litter in the brooder or
brood coop at least once week will
be appreciated by the chicks.
In feeding green stuff to young
chicks, shred it finely.
Having a small dish of bone meal
where the chicks can get it at any
time is good for them.
If toe picking develops among the
brooder chicks, it is probably due to
lack of exercise. Busy chicks do not
get the habit

CAPONS HAVE
GOOD POINTS IN
THEIR FAVOR

Capon raising has received but lit
tie attention from poultrymen OF Cal
ifornia largely because the consum
ing public has not been educated to
the superiority of this class of fowl
over those now offered. The poultry
men of this State have given but little
thought to any class of market fowl,
the egg breeds having offered the bet
ter opportunity up to this time.
This condition has been gradually
changing and one finds more of the
larger breeds on California farms to-
day. Good markets for capons must
be made The relatively high prices
received for capons compared with
those offered for old roosters or sex
ed males is an inducement to many
to raise few each year.
Capons have several points in their
favor as market fowl. Increased
size and weight and superior quality
of flesh are easily secured. A com
parison between capons and sexed
male sof the same breed and age show
the latter inferior in quality of flesh,
in size and weight and so less profit
able on the market
Well fattened capons will bring in
the market from thirty to fifty per
cent more than sexed males of the
same variety and age.-Sacramento

RESULTS
OF CHICK FEEDING
q

In poultry feeding tests conducted
to determine the effect of different
feeding systems, the following results
have been reported:
Dry feeding-cracked grain, crack
ed grain and dry mash, or dry mash
all fed in connection with beef
scrap, give less rapid growth than
the same ration with the mash fed il
a moist condition.
Wet mash and beef scrap-fed
without cracked grain-produce rapid
growth at low cost, and smooth,
plump chicks, when mash is made Of
ground corn, ground wheat, ground
hulled oats and bran; but when mash
was composed of by-products and
corn meal, with beef scraps, exces-
sive mortality and uneven growth OF
chicks resulted.
A combination of wet and dry feed
ing-grain and mash-resulted in low
mortality, produced good, active, well
grown, well feathered chicks, and a
more even growth, with low cost pei
pound of gain in weight.
Young chicks having moist mash
with grain made more rapid growth
than those having dry mash, but a.
slightly greater cost per pound gain
in weight. Small chicks grew better
on moist mash and grain, and large
chicks grew better on dry mash ant
grain.
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1915-05-22
CHANGE IN
RATIONS SHOULD
BE GRADUAL

The time of first feeding of chicks
is now usually stated as thirty six
to forty-eight hours after Matching;
the number of meals being given as
five at first. gradually decreasing
the number of feelings as the chicks
grow older, says Clara Nixon in the
Journal of American Association of
Investigators in Poultry Husbandry.
The general opinion is that all
changes in rations and methods OF
of feeding should be gradually accom-
p,ished and that the chicks can do
with less expensive food after they
are two weeks of age.
In addition to the rations recon-
mended, several Experiment Stations
have conducted and reported the fol-
lowing experiments in feeding skim
milk to chicks.
Skinned milk is valuable for grow
ing stock, increases the consumption
of other food. 1t is valuable in chick
raising both for moistening the mash
and for drinking purposes. 1t should
not be given to the exclusion of wa
ter. 1t may be given at any age and
may be fed either sweet or sour, If
given in moderate quantities at first;
but sweet and sour should not be al
ternated. Skim milk is less valuable
for chick rearing than powdered milk,
probably because of the large proper
ton of moisture il contains.

INFLUENCE OF
MILK FEEDING
ON CHICKS

The following conclusions have
been reached by the Storrs Expert
ment Station after experimental milk
feeding tests with chickens to learn
its influence on growth and mortality:
The feeding of milk young chicks
has most favorable influence on the
growth and on the lessening of NOR
tally of the chicks. 1t tends to pre-
vent mortality from all causes, and if
fed soon enough and for sufficient
long period, greatly reduces the death
rate caused by bacilliary white diar-
rhoea.
Sweet and sour milk are apparently
of equal value in their relation to
growth and motality. Furthermore,
different degrees of souring do not
alter the results of milk feeding.
The value of milk as a food for
chicks does not depend upon any
acids that may be present, nor upon
any particular types of micro-organ-
| isms, but upon one or more of the
neutral constituents of the milk
When milk is supplied freely to
chicks, it becomes all the more i'm
portant that they have abundant ex-
ercise. This applies more particularly
to early Matched chicks that are
brooded wholly or for the most part
indoors.
The feeding of sweet or sour milk
to young chicks has in no instance
been found to be in any way injuri-
Gus to the chicks. If the milk is
clean and not too old, none but the
most favorable results should accom-
pany its use as food for chicks.
There is no preference in the choice
of sweet or of sour milk, except from
the standpoint of convenience. The
use of the one or the other should
be determined by circumstances. 1t
seems desirable to feed the same kind
of milk throughout the feeding period.
