Increase Your Poultry Profits
By Feeding Fresh Garbage
High Of Poultry Production May Be Markedly Reduced by the
Judcous Use Of Garbage in Feeding
Laying Hens

broken glass, scraps OF tin, phonO-
graph needles, and the like. and it is
only the owner who will pick over
the garbage and eliminate the objec-
tionable foreign mater that will
realize profitable and dependable re-
suits from its use. The best plan Is
to try to get the housewife to keep
such undesirable material from going
into the garbage.
Specialists Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture recommend
running the garbage through a meat
or vegetable chopper and mixing 1t
with a little moist mash before it Is
placed before the fowls. The amount
which is fed will entirely depend. on
the size of the flock, it being usually
advisable to provide as much refuse
as the birds will clean up with a rel
ish in the course of an hour. Any
feed which the fowls reject should be
removed from the troughs. feeding
pens. or yards as soon as possible
thereafter. Otherwise it sours and
contaminates the premises and, sub
sequently. if the fowls peck at it DIR
it invariably causes digestive trouble.
Where garbage is fed, it is always
essential to supply light ration of
grain twice daily as well as to have
dry mash available in hoppers be-
fore the flock all the time. Gener-
ally, table scraps are rich in protein.
although where the garbage is def
cient in this ingredient it is practical
to supplement the mash with about
5 per cent of meat meal.
! Cold Weather Facilitates Garbage
Feeding.
Generally speaking. there is less
danger from feeding garbage in the
! winter than during the summer as
the cold weather prevents rapid de-
composition and fermentation of the
refuse. Often the suburban flock
| owner may secure the garbage of
neighbOring families who do not keep
chickens. This source of feed may
be SO plentiful that he can expand
his poultry keeping operations an0
afford to pay small amount for the
potatoes are present in the garbage,
it is usually good plan to separate
them and to cook them before feed
ing to the fowls. Otherwise they are
not well utilized and often induce
digestive trouble.
Experiments in feeding garbage at
the government experimental farm
at Beltsvlle. Md. indicate that 80
/ hens will use about three quarts of
garbage daily to advantage. In addi-
! ton, keep dry mash consisting of
three parts by weight of corn meal,
l part of bran, l part of middlings, S
per cent of meat scraps before the
hens all of the time. The expert
ments proved conclusively that where
fresh garbage is properly fed boun-
! tiful egg yield results, while econom-
ical and rapid meat production is also
engendered by the iudicious use of
garbage in the ration
Ordinarily is is advisable where
garbage is plentiful to mix enough
supplementary mash with the gar
bage to give the mixture a good con.
sistency. In case the table scraps

WASHINGTON, May 15.---Some mem

from legislative quarters, have been
sending this week for leaders Of the
