Meat Scraps Necessary.
One of the most significant fact in
feeding fowls for egg production, as
brought out by experiments at the
Ohio Experiment station. is that ra-
tions containing approximately II per
cent. meat scrap decrease the cost Of
feed under present market prices more
than 20 per cent. and increase the egg
production more than so per cent. as
compared with a ration containing
only per cent. of meat scrap. This
comparison has held true with both
the light and heavier breeds of
poultry.
A ration in which the grain mix
ture was made up of three parts corn
and one part wheat and the dry mash
mixture of two parts by weight ground
corn, one part bran and two parts
meat scrap has given satisfactory re-
suits. The fowls consumed twice as
much grain assmash.
A net return of 81 hen over four
months period is the remarkable rec
ord of North Carolina poultry club
member who, about the middle of jan
uary.. mated fifteen White Leghorn
hens with standard bred male of the
same variety. During the ensuing
four months these fifteen hens laid
1.10S eggs. OF this number fifty were
placed in the incubator, from which
forty-one chicks were Matched and all
except five were raised. The owner
marketed six cockerels for $3.50. He
now has on hand thirty chicks. He
sold 304 eggs for Matching purposes
for s3G.50, as we'll as 54i dozen mar
ket eggs for s2O.O7, making total
income from his small flock or S54.S0.
The cost of feeding the flock during
this time was s21.4O, which leaves a
net return Of s33.40.
