OF manure has been left In pile in
the barnyard for three months before
It was spread on the field.
Stable manure produced % bushels
OF corn an acre, 10.5 bushels Of waeat

Oats Are Extensively
Used in Chick Feeding

Rolled oats or oatmeal are extern
sively used in chick feeding, and they
are excellent for this purpose. When
used as a complete ration they are apt
TO cause gas. They should be used
mixed with other feeds. Steel-cut oats
are preferred by some poultrymen as
they are smaller and somewhat easier
for chicks to pick up. During recent
years milk In its various forms has
become an established part OF prac-
tically all chick mashes. a Nutrients In
milk are easily digested by chicks
they furnish protein and minerals
needed to- balance the ration ana the
milk sugar forms Tactic acid that is
helpful ID keeping down the growth
Of harmful bacteria.

nature and relatively small In annual

form the first stages of the market

Striking Feature.
From 1918 to 1925 the formation of
large-scale marketing organizations
was d striking feature of cooperative
development Some of these attempt

stages of the marketing process, even
going into terminal market operations.
Others attempted regional pools, large
