On the Farm
XI. Poultry Feeding
By G. V. GREGORY,
Author of "Homo Gourso In Modern
Agriculture"
Copyright. 1909, by American Prut
Aoc!t!on
THERE nro four innln objects In
feeding poultry to mnlntnln
life, to causo growth, to pro
duce eggs nnd to fnttcn. A
large Bharo of the feed given to nny
nnlnml goes to maintain llfo. It la
only when a fowl receives nn excess
over thnt nmount that It can grow,
produco eggs or lny on fat Thus It
will bo Been that It pays to feed lib
erally. The wider the margin over
tho maintenance rntlon up to tho
amount the bird Is able to uso tho
greater will bo tho profit.
On the farm fowls will pick up
most of their food, at least through
the summer tlmo. Yet even then they
riO. XXI FEEDINO TUE CHICKKNB.
must bo given some food, especially
of tho kinds that they are not ablo to
And for themselves. Tho most plenti
ful food on tho average farm nnd tho
one that tho birds are most likely to
get Is corn. Corn Is a heating food
and Is not suited for laying hens or
growing chickens If fed alone. Somo
oats can bo used for tho older fowls,
but this feed Is not suited for young
chickens unless ground. Oats nro nn
especially good food for laying hous.
One of tho best grain feeds Is wheat
It Is usually too expcnslvo to bo fed
vory extensively, but It may often be
used for part of tho ratlou. Wheat
either wbolo or cracked, makes a
splendid feed for young chicks. A
mixture of wheat and oats grown to
gether makes nn excellent feed for
all kinds of stock as woll ns poultry.
Milling byproducts, such ns shorts,
bran nnd oil meal, can be mixed In
small quantities with tho other feeds
and fed to ndvantnge.
Succulent Food Necessary.
One of tho greatest needs of poultry
In winter is some kind of succulent
feed. This can be provided by storing
nway a quantity of cabbage, turnips,
mangels nnd pumpkins. These can be
chopped tip during tho winter and fed
with otbrr feeds or given alone. The
fowls will relish them very much and
mnko n liberal response at the egg bas
ket. If thero Is n silo on tho placo
some silage may be fed to tho fowls to
advantage. It la cheap and nppetlzlug.
Clover and alfalfa hay chopped fino In
a feed cutter mnko good roughage. If
soaked in hot water before feeding tho
hens will eat large amounts. Either
bran or cut alfalfa may bo mixed In
tho mash feed3 In tho proportion of
one-quarter to three-quarters of the
grain.
Value of Animal Food.
When nllowcd free rnngo fowls ob
tain largo amounts of animal food In
the form of Insects. Some feed of this
kind Is essential If the best results
are to bo secured. Beef scrap la a
packlug house byproduct that can bo
purchased at a reasonable price. It Is
a very valuablo feed for growlug
chickens nnd laying hens. The most
common animal food on the farm Is
Bklmmllk. This is a valuablo feed for
nil classes of fowls. At tho Virginia
, sklmmllk Is worth a dollar u huudred
aa n food for laying hens. Buttermilk
Is also a good feed. If you have many
laying hens nnd can get plenty of
fresh bones from tho butcher it will
pay to get a bono cutter and make lib
eral uso of cut bono ns a food. It 1
high In protein nnd also contains a
largo amount of tho mineral foods so
badly needed by tho laying hens.
Mineral foods form an Important
part of the ration. Of the dry mntter
of tho egg as.O per cen Is composed
of mineral matter. Crushed oyBter or
clnm shells, plaster and slaked lime
are the best sources of minerals.
Fowls nlso need grit to nsslst In
grinding their food. A pile of sharp
sand In the poultry yard Is one of the
best means of supplying this. Chnrco.il
Is a good preventive of intestinal trou
bles. A box of It should be kept
where they can get nt It nt nil times.
A little salt mixed with this charcoal
Is beneficial.
Feeding Young Chicks.
There nro threv especially Important
feeding problems that confront tin
poultry raiser feeding young chicks,
feeding for, egg production nnd fatten
ing. The greatest source of loss in
poultry raising la Improper feeding of
young chickens. The newly hatched
chicks should not receive nny feed at
nil until they nn forty-eight hours old.
iKi&jJE&r v hsfcr
Crumbs of dry or toasted bread mnko
good feed for the first few dnys. They
may bo moistened with a llttlo milk
or fed dry, Chicks will do hotter If
most of their food Is given In a dry
form. One of tho most common mis
takes made In feeding chickens Is In
giving too much. They should nover
ho fed more soft food than they will
eat up clean In fifteen or twenty min
utes. Dry grain scnttercd In straw or
cut clover will, of course, last louger.
Plenty of pure wnler, grit and char
coal should be provided. Any schema
that will compel tho chicks to exert
themselves In getting nt their food will
bo beneficial to their health. The less
they are permitted to holt their food
tho less liable to digestive troubles
will they become.
Tho breadcrumbs may continue to
form a considerable part of tho rntlon
for two or threo weeks, llnrd boiled
eggs chopped flno nnd mixed with tho
crumbs nro good If not fed In too
largo amounts. Oatmeal is one of tho
best grain foods, but la too expensive
to feed extensively. Crushed corn or
wheat Is n good feed to scatter In tho
litter. By tho tlmo tho chicks nro
three weeks old grain can replace tho
breadcrumbs entirely. About n week
Inter a llttlo beef scrap can bo ndded
to the rntlon. Sklmmllk can bo given
from tho tlmo they nro n week old.
The best wny to feed sklmmllk Is to
let It sour until It becomes curdy. Then
pour off tho whey and feed the curd
fresh or dried. It is greatly liked by
chicks in either form, Tho chicks
should bo fed threo times n dny and
Dftener If they nro not allowed to run
out Ah they grow older tho onts may
ho cut down In nmount nnd tho cheap
er grains fed more liberally.
Feeding For Egg Production.
If winter eggs nre desired It is im
portant thnt tho hens nnd pullets bo
fed In such 'n way ns to stlmulnto egg
production. Tho nnlmal food part of
tho ration, which Is very important,
mny consist of either beef .-.crap or
dried curd. This should bo put In n
self feeding hopper, where tho hens
enn get to It nt nil times. Hoppers con
mining chnrconl, grit and oyster shells
should also bo provided and kept full.
Fresh wnter Is important nnd should
bo supplied plentifully. Automatic
fountains nro tho best means of wnter
Ing when the wenther Is not too cold.
In cold wenther wnter should bo given
In troughs nt least twice a day. This
matter of giving laying fowls n proper
amount of water is not ns well attend
ed to ns it should be.
Tho breakfast for tho laying hens
may consist of shelled corn scattered
In tho litter in tho, scratching shed.
This will keep tho lions scratching nil
tho forenoon nnd will glvo them tho
cxercIsQ which they need to keep
healthy nnd In laying condition. At
noon n dry feed of mixed oats and
wheat can bo scattered in tho Btrnw.
This keeps tho liens scratching two or
threo hours longer. Tho main feed of
the day is given nt night in tho form
of n mash. A mash consisting of ono
part bran or cut clover or alfalfa, ono
part ground corn, ono pnrt ground oats
nnd ono pnrt middlings Is very good,
although thero nro many other mix
tures that can bo used. In cold weath
er tho mash should bo fed warm. After
eating the mnsh the hens will go to
roost warm nud comfortable and with
full crops conditions which favor a
high egg yield.
In feeding laying hens tho aim
should be to give nil thoy will cat up
clean. In nddltlon to the rations given,
some of tho green feeds mentloucd
should bo fed If thoy can bo obtained
In tho summer the hens have free
range nnd enn get plenty of green food

ablo to give much high priced feed at
this seaFon of tho year.' The charcoal
and grit should be fed nil tho year
round.
Fattonlng.
It is the common practice to let tho
chickens run until nlong toward fall,
when the cockerels ore caught nnd
Fold without nny special preparation
ror marlcet. At tuo usual rail prices
the cockerels yield a fair profit This
profit can bo greatly increased by fat
tening them for a few weeks bofore
marketing A bunch of twenty cr thir
ty can be btiut In n yard together and
fed a grain mixture consisting of two
parts corn nnd ono part shorts. They
will gain rapidly on such feed nnd in
two or threo weeks will be rendy to be
marketed with a considerable Increase
both In prlco and weight
Where a special market for high
class poultry can be obtained It pays
to crate fatten. This Is done by confin
ing the birds in slatted crates, tiered
up undor a shed. They nre fed some
such a mash as ground oats, two
parts; ground barley, one part, and
ground corn one part, mixed with
sklmmllk. This Is fed In troughs three
times a day, giving the chickens all
they will clonn up In thirty minutes.
From ono to two pounds can bo put on
each ono lu threo weeks, and tho qual
ity of tho moat Is greatly Improved at
the same time, enough to double the
price If n high class markot can be se
cured. A still higher qunllty of meat
can be obtained if the chicks arc ca
ponlzed when thoy are three or four
months old.
