SELECTION or POULTRY FEED
Reduce Cost by Using Low-Priced SUBJ
stitute Grains--oats Are Cheap
err Than Corn. -
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrleulture.)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrleulture)
While farmers, as q rule, have fed
their poultry the grain that was cheap
est on the farm, many poultry spe-
clalists and most small poultry keep
ers have been accustomed to use their
fayorite poultry feeds without consid-
cring either the quality Of the sup
ply or the possibilities of using cheap
or substitutes.
Under normal conditions, corn In
nearly all parts OF the United States
Is the cheapest poultry feed. At the
present time, oats are nearly every
where cheaper than corn. When corn
goes down to $3.50 bushel, oats
should be T5 cents and barley $1.20
a bushel to give the same value for
the money fed to poultry, as corn.
The common characters and condl-
lions Of grain which roughly determine
their values as poultry feeds are cas-
lily estimated by the eye, or by weight
or bulk in measure or containers of
known capacity.
Good cracked corn Is hard bright,
clean, free from soft and chairy par
tlcles. Corn that Is crushed mot
crackeD, aud shows much soft. chairy
and scaly matter. should be roted pro-
portionately below good cracked corn
in feeding value. Cracked corn In
which any considerable amount OF
greenish discoloration appears should
he rejected as unfit for poultry.
Oats with the hulls on are nj once
seen to contain more lndigesiihle mat
ter than corn aud wheat. Again, the
indigestihle hulls covering oats make
that grain less paIatabe to poultry
and its feeding value must be discount
ed.
Oats weighing less than the United
States standard of - pounds to the
hnshel should be discounted In price
according To the shortage in weight.
while for weights above the standard
the usual discount in price may be
reduced.
