Minerals Assist Chicks
in Building Framework

The science Of feeding growing
chicks has developed by leaps and
bounds during the last few years. The
discovery of vitamins and their rela-
ton to poultry feeding, the Importance
Of clean yards and plenty Of green feed
have made the business of growing
poultry more economically successful.
During the last few years more. at.
tention has been centered upon the i'm
portance Of new element in the ra-
ton for growing chicks-minerals or
inorganic material. Minerals supply
three distinct functions in the chicks
ration. They 60 to build bone, which
Is the framework of the future pullet
or cockerel. A good skeleton is one
half the battle, because on it must be
attached the meat and in 1t must be
carried the organs Of reproduction,
which produce the marketable product,
the egg.
Minerals also have been found by
scientific tests to aid materially in the
digestion of other foods. Lastly, min
erals have been found to exercise a
very definite relation in building up
natural resistance and immunity
against disease.
This Is probably accomplished by
keeping the birds in perfect physical
condition.
What minerals to feed and how to
feed them becomes the problem of the
feeder Of growing chickens during the
summer, so that the pullets may be in
the pink Of condition as to size and
vigor for the heavy winter lay.
