ALL MASH FOR CHICKS
By JOS. II. Bodwoil

by JOS. ii. BOdWCiI
Did you ever notice the difference
in temperament of team of horses
when worked and when idle? If
they are worked steadily overy day
they are quiet and peaceful. but give
them lot of rest and they become
uneasy, nip one another, paw and
kick the stall they are in. In fact,
sometimes they become vicious and
actually bite one another.
This same principle holds true
with chicks. If they have a chance
to become idle they will pick at one
another and cannibalism will deyel-
oD much more rapidly than if they
are kept busy at all times.
If they have access to scratch
grains their crops become filled up
quicker and it takes longer for the
scratch grains to disgest than il
does for mash. Consequently, they
will have many more idle hours
during the day where scratch grains
arc fed than when the all mash sys-
tenn is used.
Another advantage of the all
lluSh system Is LBaL tDcfe is more
protein present and moro different
types of protein and also the ami
may source of protein is present in
the all mash. whereas in scratch
grain there is no animal source
whatever. In order for baby chicks
to grow rapidly and to feather
many sources of protein
must be available for the chick aud !
. much more economical growth |
will be had where both tho animal |
source and vegetable source are
present.
Again in the mash more mineral
will be present than will be the

Quality Poultry Farm
Escapes Damage

The snow storm Of Monday eve
ming of last week did great deal of
damage to electric and telephone
wires in our community. The Har-
ringtOn printing Office. Harrington.
Shirt Company and the Quality poul-
try farm near the town limits, were
without electric current for several
hours. This is a busy time for most
of the baby chick hatcheries and for
a time much anxiety was felt over
the possibility that w. D. Scott. the
owner, would suffer quite a loss. At
the time Mr.. Scott had two of his
three ihcUbators, $4,000 egg capa-
city of each in full operation. For
tunately this rumOr was incorrect
as Mr.. Scott was equal to such an
emergency by having an auxiliary
steam plant ready for such an emer |
gency, in this manner he was able !
to keep the temperature at such a /
degree to cause no damage. He does !!
not anticipate any trouble in the
near future. .,. !
