SELECTION OF POULTRY FEED
Reduce Cost by Using Low.PrIeed Sub
stitute oralns-oats Are Cheap
or Than Corn.

prepared by the United States Depart
mont Of Agricuiture)
While farmers, a. Q rule, have fed
their poultry the grain that was cheap
est on the farm, many poultry spe-
cialists and most small poultry keep
ers have been accustomed to use their
favorite poultry feeds without consid-
ering either the quality Of the sup
ply or the possibilities Of using cheap
er substitutes.
Under normal conditions. corn in
nearly all parts Of the United States
IL the cheapest poultry feed. At the
present time. oats are nearly every
where cheaper than corn. When corn
goes down to $1.50 a bushel. oats
should be 70 cents and barley $1.20
a bushel to give the same value for
the money fed to poultry. as corn.
The common characters and condi.
lions Of grain which roughly determine
their values a. poultry feeds are cas-
lily estimated BY the eye. or by weight
or bulk In measure or containers Of
known capacity.
Good cracked corn II hard. bright.
clean. free from soft and chaffy par
ticles. Corn that IL crushed (not
cracked), and shows much soft. chaffy
and scaly matter. should be rated pro-
portionateiy below good cracked corn
in feeding value. Cracked corn In
which any considerable amount Of
greenish discoloration appears should
be rejected as UNIT for poultry.
Oats with the hulls on are at once
seen to contain more indigestible mat
ter than corn and wheat. Again. the
indigestible hulls covering oats make
that grain less palatable to poultry
and its feeding value must be discount.

Oats weighing less than the United
States standard Of 81 pounds to the
bushel should be discounted In price
according to the shortage In weight,
while for weights above the standard
