FAVOR SOUR MILK FOR POULTRY FEEDING
TAKE YoUR oHoIoE oF THEsE FEEDINe MErHoDs.

(By PROF. II. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri
College OF Agriculture)
POultrymen everywhere have long
recognized the value of beef scraps
as food for the laying hen. Col
lege and experiment station men have
found by their tests that the use of
buttermilk or soul milk reduces the
cost Of production per dozen of eggs
as compared with either beef scraps
or no meat ration. Sour milk is cheap
er than beef scraps as it is on the
average farm. Mr.. w. r. Graham
tested three different breeds Of chick
ems and reported that the use Of
either buttermilk or beef scraps re-
duced the cost Of egg production very
greatly. Mr.. A. G. Phillips found that
when no meat or other animal food
was fed to hens in their ration they
laid 80 eggs apiece while those which
received meat scraps laid 1876 eggs
apiece and those that received
skim milk laid 1854 eggs apiece
n year, or more than four times as
many as those which received no ami
NAL food.
Tests With Feed.
In tests conducted with three o.
bird pens, about two-thIrds of the rn-
lion given to each pen consisted Of a
scratch food made by mixing two parts
Of corn and n part Of wheat. The
remainder of the feed given to each
pen was a mash made by mixing bran,
mf6dIinno M chOrfo ond anrnVnnu1 for
the nO-meat pen, or the pen which re-
ceived no animal food whatever. The
sOur-milk pen received the same mash
and all the sour milk the fowls want
ed, while the beef-scrap pen received
the same mash with the addition of
beef scrap mixed with the mash.
The usual poultry yard method of
feeding was followed, practically the
only difference being in the protein
concentrate or the animal food given
to the hens. In the morning a little
scratch feed was sprinkled in the
straw litter deep enough to make the
fowls scratch and take exercise. Wa
ter was placed in clean pals and q
pan Of sour milk was given to the
sour-milk pen. At noon the proper
amount of dry mash was measured
into trough and green feed was fire.
quently given at the same time during
the winter. Two or three times q
week the fowls were made to eat more
of the mash by mixing the dry mash
with water or with milk in case of the
sour-milk pen. This wet mash was fec
at the rate Of a handful for every -four
birds. At night the scratch feed was
given again and the birds were al
lowed to eat all they would in order
that they might go to roost with full
crops. The purpose of this method OF
feeding was to keep the hens busy al

DISEASES OF POULTRY
Little Has Been Done to Find
Cures for Many Ailments.
Every Poultryman Should Have on
Hand Plentiful Supply Of Per-
manganate Of Potash crys-
tails and EPSON Salts.

CBy D. B. GREENBERG, Instructor in
Poultry Husbandry, New YORK state
School of A~griculture)
The old adage ian ounce of proven
ton is worth a pound of cure" is
nowhere more applicable than in the
case of diseases of domestic birds.
So little has been done thus far by
scientists to find cures for the IN
Gus ailments of fowls, that not very
many of them can be cured.
Our attention must then be directed
to the prevention of diseases, and in
most cases they can be avoided, If the
poultry man is only willing to take
the proper sanitary precautions. There
are two medicines, which every pOul-
try man should always have on hand,
namely, permanganate of potash crys-
tails and EPSON salts. The former is
now very expensive, due to the I'M
settled condition of the chemical mar
ket, but so little of it is really needed
that a poultry man should not go with
out 1t. The crystals can be bought
at any drug store. Do not buy it in
solutions, as you are then paying for
water.
Two tablespOonfuls of permanga-
nate Of potash should be added to a
quart of warm water. Most of it will
dissolve, but a few crystals will re-
main at the bottom of the bottle. Use
this solution to color the drinking wa
ter of your birds, young and old, being
careful to shake solution well each
time before using. The drinking wa
ter should show a Chartered color
against you hand thrust into the wa
ter. 1t is necessary to put your hand
In the water because presence Of light
or shadow will make the water appear
to be a different shade than 1t really is.
Too much Of this permanganated
water cannot be given to poultry.
Sick birds should receive no other wa
ter. The permanganate acts as a dis
infectant for the water and the diges-
tive organs of the fowls. It is also
good for healthy birds. In damp
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1916-12-29

weather it should be put into the
drinking water two or three times a
week, as this will often prevent the
spread of catarrh. Chicks just Matched
should receive permanganated water
for the entire first week, as the infec-
ton from white diarrhea occurs nearly
always in this critical period of the
birds existence.
EPSON salts should be used when
fowls are constipated or have diarrhea.
In both cases it cleans out the sys-
tenn. The dose varies from one-quarter
Of a te%aspoOnful for a very young
chick to a full teaspoonful for mature
birds. Dissolve the salts in warm
water and moisten mash with this so
luton. Do not feed the sick birds in
the morning but in the middle Of the
afternoon give them the mash.
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1916-12-29

day and keep their appetite keen and
yet give them all the feed they would
use. Feeding a small amount Of the
scratch feed in the morning encour-
aged the hens to eat more of the mash.
An attempt was made to get them to
consume about half as much of the
mash as they did Of the grain or
scratch feed.
Cost Of Feed.
The prices paid for feed will Of
course vary from county to county and
state to state and from year TO year,
but these prices quoted by a local mill
are probably fairly representative for
that season. Even If they should be a
little too high or a little too low to show
the probable cost in the readers local
ity they will enable him to compare the
cost of egg production on no meat,
beef scrap, and sOur-milk ration.
The % hens in the nO-meat pen laid
1873 eggs or an average Of IS per hen
for the year. The beef-fed hens laid
an average Of 107 eggs apiece or almost
twice as many as the no-mea hens and
sour-milk hens beat them both with an
average of 131 eggs apiece or almost
two and a half as many as the mo-
meat hens. There is no question but
that the meat scrap and sour milk is
responsible for the great increase in
the number Of eggs laid.
Profits.
The probable effect upon the pocket
book, of course, decides what ration a
poultryman will choose, and a glance
at the results Of the above experiments
show that the fowls fed no meat, milk
or other animal food laid only 1873
eggs in return for the $23.9O worth of
feed they ate, or that at 20 cents a
dozen they returned eggs worth $3.50.
In other words the pOultryman gave
his work for nothing and paid 81 more
for the feed than the eggs returned
him in cash. The beef scrap fed hens
on the other hand brought a profit OF
$19.78 because although the feed they
ate cost $1.78 more than If they had
received no meat scraps they laid near.
ly twice as many eggs and so paid
many times for the beef scraps they
ate.
The biggest profit of all, however
resulted from feeding sour milk, in
spite Of the fact that 1t was charged al
20 cents a hundred pounds. This is
perhaps more than it would be worth
on the average farm where it wOulc
probably otherwise be fed to the hogs
Even at this price there was a profit
of more than 100 per cent from the
hens fed sour milk. The cost was
$26.32, but the eggs laid were worth
$28.26 more than those laid by the
same number Of hens which received
no animal food and laid less than hall
as many eggs.
