POULT RYMEN
WELL PLEASED
WITH MEETINGS

A series of meetings held in four
districts of the county the past
week by M. w. Buster, extension
specialist in poultry and d. E..
Creighton, assistant county agent,
resulted in a very good turnout by
poultrymon and a frank and helpful
discussion of their problems.
Recommendation now made by
the extension service suggested
starting the baby chicks ON feed as
early rs "a to SO hours of age. Plac-
ing the chicks around the brooder
stove in the evening with feed plac-
ed ready for them the first thing in
the morning is working out very
nicely. Where an abundance of
skinned milk is available feed it
from the start, keeping it always
before the chicks, preferably al
ways sour; water should, in this
case, be omitted. To make a bal
anced ration then add cracked milo,
wheat or barley. After 10 days of
age, the chicks may be fed whole
grain. Thus, skim milk and grain
make very good ration. Where
mash is used milk is then unneces-
sary for it is high in protein. If
mash is to be fed, start the baby
chicks on it and feed no grain un-
til the eighth to tenth day, gradual
ly reducing the mash and increasing
the whole grain. Greens should be
finely chopped and fed from the
third or fourth days on. Feeding is
a very vital factor in the success
of raising chicks. A bare floor is
to be preferred for tho first few
days only, this will prevent the
chicks from eating litter, too much
sand or other harmful materials.
Fresh air is factor not be over
looked. Let your nose be your
guide. Too often the house is foul,
stuffy and the air completely viii
ated
Seven square inches per chick
should be the minimum floor space
allowed at the start and by remov-
ing the cockcrels at the earliest pos
sible moment, sufficient room will
be made for the pullets until they
are moved to permanent quarters.
An excellent bulletin on feeding
