GIVING CHICLGNS SKIM MILK
More Eggs Produced Than From
Fowls Given Grain Ration Supple
mented With Meat Scraps.

According TO a general opinion OF
many who have given the matter
much attention, the value OF skim
milk to laying hens is from 20 cents
to S2.15 per hundred pounds. The latter
figure is evidently a little optimistic.
According to experiments conducted
by the Indiana experiment station.
Si.7S a returned per hundred
pounds Of skim milk purchased at 80
cents, These experiments covered q
period OF two years; one pen OF laying
hens received corn, wheat, oats, bran
and shorts In the same proportion. In
addition to all the skim milk the fowls
would drink, and another pen received
only the grain portion OF the ration
that the former received. In averaging
the results obtained from feeding
these rations through two years OF ex.
periments II has been shown that the
average number OF eggs laid per hen
receiving grain and skim milk was
1895 eggs, whereas the hens hat did
not receive skim milk with the grain
ration produced an average OF only SO
eggs per hen, II was also shown that
during the winter months, December,
January and February, when & q are
the highest in price, that the pen re-
ceiving skim milk produced seven per

Assuming that it cost % bushels OF
about $40 an acre to produce i crop
of corn in the average corn belt state.
there is total yield of 20 bushels per
acre with margin of four bushels
which at 40 cents bushel equals $3.50
net profit on the plot where corn was
grown continuously for 20 years.
Where corn and oats were grown in
two-year rotation there is a total
yield of As bushels per acre with mar
gin of 23 bushels which at 40 cents a
bushel equals 1920 net profit per acre
Where the rotation was corn. oats

All of the crops have been removed
from the fields each year for 20 years
including the grain hay, straw and

not the average for the 20 years of
the experiment. but the per acre yield
from each plot for the year 1907. the
last year of the 20-year period. Eighty
bushels per acre is the largest record
ed corn yield in the corn, oats and
clover rotation.
There is marked increase in the
Yield when clover was added to the
rotation. Glover adds nitrogen and hui
mus to the soil. Legume crops such as
alfalfa, clover, cowpeas, should Il be
grown on every farm.
These results have been obtained in
