Why not send her a really fine

Dosing Chickens With EPSON Salts

Dosing Chickens With EPSON Salts
j. E. p, McRae, Ga, writes:
How much EPSON salts would he
dose for ten chickens, fed in
dough? Is Glauber salts as good
for chickens as Epson salts?
Also how much copperas should
be fed to chickens?
EPSON salts or Glauber salts NAV
be used with equal satisfaction for
the purpose you have in mind. The
dosage would be one-half teaspoon
full for full-grown fowl. This NAV
be administered by mixing it with
soft feed such as you suggest. 1t
is considered good practice by many
poultry fanclers to put a little epson
salts in the drinking water. When
this is done, about one-half tea
spoonful to a quart of water is the
proportion to use. This is supposed
to keep the system relaxed and in
good condition. Copperas or sui
phate of iron is considered an ex-
cellent ingredient to use in tonic or
condition powders, especially in
cases of debilitation, or excessive
diarrhea. Not more than one-half
grain to one grain, however, should
be used at single dose. For ten
Sood-sized fowls, five grains would
be sufficient amount of this ma
terial to administer.
Discretion Should be Used i'm
Feeding Tankage
II. G., Lexington, Ga, writes:
Will you please advise me if
tankage from an abattoir is all
right for feeding to hogs and
chickens, and how should it be
fed?
We have had considerable trouble
from the use of tankage with our
chickens, and we have about discon-
tinued feeding this material to any
considerable extent This applies not
only to any product which might be
made locally. but to the materials
furnished by the larger manufac-
tuners as well. Apparently, this ma
terlal contains too much oil and fat
to make it as desirable a food for
chickens as ordinary meat scraps
will furnish. 1t is true that chick
ems need some protein food, and,
theoretically, digester tankage should
furnish this element as effectively
as anything else; but we have not
found it as satisfactory as we had
hoped, and we think the reason for
this is contained in the explanation
already offered.
In feeding any sort Of digester
tankage to hogs or poultry or any
other class of live stock, [ would
proceed with a good deal of caution.
Feed only small quantity and then
discontinue its use. 1t is important
that digester tankage be made care
fully and put up so as TO prevent
its deterioration before it is used
In other words, it is not a product
which will keep for any considerable
length of time under our peculiar
climatic conditions.
Where digester tankage is used
for hogs, not over five to ten pounds
should be mixed with each 100
pounds of corn meal. Use the
smaller amount to begin with. Hogs.
of course, are much more raVenous
than chickens. and have much
larger and stronger assimilative sys-
TENS. and, therefore. they can use
coarser. heavier foods than chickens
with satisfaction
