The Marketing of Poultry.
Mrs Curr. the home economics
,oent Tor Terrell county, has fur
r;sb4d The News with the following
t;melv information concerning the
FEEDING OF poultry for market:
All poultry pens should be culled
Immediately for age and under-devel-
opment AS a rule it does not pay to
keep hen over two years OF age, and
if is never a business proposition to
keep hen whose body capacity and
structure are such that she can lay
onlv for short period and that very
probably during late spring, when eggs
are cheapest or least in demand for
Matching
In order to get the most for your
birds the hocks should be culled at
once. confined in a dry, well ventilat-
ed shed and kept on the following
rations for two weeks: 20 lbs. corn
meal, 20 lbs. middlings or low grade
-four. lbs meat scraps or tankage.
The birds SHOULD be starved for "a
hours after being confined in order
10 stimulate their appetites.
The ration should be mixed into
sloppy mash using sour or butter
milk Alter - hours give the birds
all they will cat in Il hour twice
day for two days Then feed all they
will eat 5 times daily until ready for
sale. Grit should be supplied and a
little green iced. They should be CIV
en- a light iced of mash but 10 gram
on the day OF sale A heavy gram ration
on the day OF sale causes the purchaser
to loose a number of fowls before de-
livery so they usually deduct from
10 to Is Der cent on weights where
birds have been given heavy gram
feeds the morning of sale
The College of Agriculture recon-
mend tattening on the above ration as
business proposition before market
ing.
June 18th will be your best oppor-.
tunity to get rid of broilers, fryers and
all grown birds which cannot possibly
pay for their feed.
