How To Save Grain Is Told To
Prudent Poultry Men

Where poultrymcn purchase
cracked corn, feeding this grain in
the litter. there is always loss of
about 20 per cent of the finest grain,
which is wasted and thrown out with
the chaff.
Agriculture specialists advise
poultrymen to sift all cracked corn
they purchase or prepare at heme in
order to remove the finest ground
material, which they can mix with
pinhead oats and cracked wheat In
order to make an ideal feed for
young chickens or use In the mash
for laying hens.
Where cracked corn costs about
So bag, loss of about 60 cents
worth of the very fine grain ordinar-
lily occurs. Practice of the sieving
method recommended will minimize
this loss.
