IOultrymcn who have OF can obtain
at Il reasonable price plenty of milk
are IN II position Ia raise their flOCks
at less expense ana with a far greater
amount of success than those who are
unable to include this valuable food
in The hOck's diet. Milk is especially
desirable for yCun" chickens and for
the fattening Of poultry, where it Is
done on Il large scale and the poultry
is closely confined.
Buttrrmilk and skim milk are the
two forms OF milk which are most
commonly used in feeding chicks and
laying hens, and these products are
also used to some extent in CONNER
cial fattening. Scmi-solid and cen.
denSed buttermiIk are now being fed
quite extensively in the commercial
%fattening of poultry and to some eX
tent to chicks and laying hens.
Milk products are readily digestible
ny chickens and have a marked bene,
fetal effect in addition to their actual
food value, poultry specialists in Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
say. They especially help keep small
chickens free from bowel trouble.
Many poultrymen like to dip the newly
hatChed chicks bill into milk for their
first feed as it helps to clean out the
chicks digestive system. Milk prod.
ucts may be fed to chickens and to
nider stock either in a sweet or sour
condition. The more common practice
is to feed these products continuously,
either sweet or sour, and not to al
'ernate the use of SOuy and sweet
milk.
In feeding milk products to hens,
HE milk is usually kept before them
rs Il drink and is also used to some
extent in mixing the mash wherever a
moist mash is used. Poultry will not
get sufficient animal protein from milk
supplied in this way to take the place
OF meat scrap commonly used in the
poultry mash. In order to furnish Suf-
iicicnt protein in the ration to take
the place of meat scrap, the milk must
be fed in a thickened form such as
clahbered milk on cottage cheese.
When fed in this condition enough can
be readily supplied to give high egg
production and good results without
any other animal protein feed. Where
milk is supplied fairly regularly to the
laying hens, it is moi essential to fur

In the commercial fattening of

are very closely confined and fed, a
forced ration for a limited period,
usually from Z to II days, is consid-

The milk serves not only as a source
of feed, but keeps the digestive organs

condition and also gives the chickens
a bleach Characteristic of well-fat-
tened poultry. From this method of
feeding the name OF "milk-fed' chick
n is taken and it is applied to near
~ all Of the commercial fattened
chickens.
Many of these fattening stations are
located in small country towns and
cities where buttermilk Is available

Swiss Watch Exports

Orders Dropped Steadily After

Best Customer

Business in the watch and clock in
dustry Of Switzerland in the first quar-
ter of 1920 exceeded the volume trans
acted in the corresponding period Of
1919, but from the late spring until the
end of the year sales decreased stead
lily, according to the Bureau Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce.
The depreciation of currencies in
countries which were good customers
under normal conditions, and over
loaded stocks in other countries where
the purchas ng power was not ham
pered by exchange conditions, were
held responsible for the contraction in
foreign orders.
In 1920 the number Of finished
watches and clocks exported totaled
146l5,639, compared with 1851 900 in
1919. The value, however. increased
from 800 0l54,944 francs in 1919 to 30s.-
232 721 francs last year The total
number Of exports in 1913 was 1885,
T27, at value Of 169, ,030,344 francs
In the last two years the United
States led all other countries in i'm
ports of Sw ss watches and clocks.
The value of shipments to America
reached 72,178,676 francs, which rep
resented an increase OF approximately
100000 francs over our imports in
1919. The United States imported 60
per cent Of the exports of precious
stones from Switzerland last year
Shipments Of fancy and alarm clocks
from Switzerland were approximately
FIVE times as great az in 1918.
