Profits of $3.00 and over per
bird were realized in, SHDIlS’s
six - month poultry experiment
this year, according to the agri
culture department’s report.
In a comparison test between
two feeds, the school made $3.22
per bird on super hatching ra
tion with 20 percent protein and
$2.83 per bird on standard
hatching ration with 17 percent
protein.

The cost of feed per hen day
of the

the higher protein ration the
cost was 1.394^. The latter, how
ever, recorded 67.78 percent pro

62.90 percent production.
Description and conclusions of
the experiment are given in this
report:
Used Two Pens
“This year as our poultry ex
periment we undertook to do two
things; to compare the High
Energy Ration with the Stand
ard Ration as prepared by the
Shur Gain Feeds and to test
White Rocks under our condi
tions as a laying breed. To do
this we secured 55 white rock
pullets which were laying. We
again placed 25 birds in one pen
Andrew Dixon said in
that it cost more to
dozen eggs with the
ration, but the greater
of the hens on this
resulted in a higher pro
birds on standard ration
and 30 in the other In this way
giving each flock equal floor
space per bird. The two pens are
identical except for size.
•’The Shur Gain Feed this year
put out a ration from which they
were claiming excellent results.
This feed contained 20% protein
a$ compared with 17% protein
ip their previous ration. Ii also
used as a grain base, those feeds
such as corn and wheat which
have a high energy content in
place of oats. As the eggs were
being used for hatching purposes
we fed hatching rations from the
beginning.
“The both flocks were very
similar in appearance and for
■the first two weeks the produc
tion was the same. After the
second week the production from
the Standard Ration began to
fall off and throughout most of
the period was at a lower level.
The birds on the Super Hatch
ing mash ate with a better appe
tite and cleaned up their mash
readily. Those on the Standard
Ration would leave their scratch
grain to pick the coarse particles
out of the mash but they
made clean up their mash

Boys Do Work
“The project started*on
tember 29 and completed on
March 28. During this six-month
period they were cared for by

Pastures Need
Regular Care
A little regular care or
agement of pastures in the way
of periodical mowing and con
trolled grazing will increase pro
duction substantially, as
experiments and practical farm
ers have proven. Selection of
suitable land, and seeding with
proper mixtures of graded No. 1
seed are of great’ importance, but
proper management is also an
absolute necessity if maximum
benefit is to be expected.
Spring or fall planted pastures,
whether sown with or without a
nurse or companion crop, should
with normal growing conditions
be ready for grazing by the Au
gust immediately following. As
a general rule, spring planting
seems to be most desirable. If
.seeded with a grain crop, an
early variety of oats is recom
mended. Growth of the pasture
will be retarded somewhat until
the grain is cut but will be quite
rapid thereafter. In any case,
whether sown alone or with a
grain crop, the pasture must be
clipped at regular intervals—as
often, in fact, as is required to
keep the various grasses from
going to seed.

Conclusions
“1. While
considered
meat kind, their egg production
is sufficiently high to justify
keeping the pullets as a laying
flock.
“2. The health record, the
freedom from broodiness and the
very fine dressed appearance of
the birds indicates that this is
a breed of considerable merit.
“3. It is interesting to note,
that as in the case of last year’s
experiment, the feed containing
20% protein gave about 5%
higher production than the feed
containing 17% protein, but the
cost of producing a dozen eggs
was slightly less when the lower
protein feed was used. It is also
■to be noted that in spite of a
slightly smaller profit per dozen
when the expensive feed was
used because of the higher pro
duction a much greater profit re
sulted from the High Energy
feed.
“4. With a high price received
for the eggs and the dressed
birds, with no mortality and a
(onsistently good production our
profits are exceptionally good.”

pastures has proven practical
and yields have been increased
eight to 12% over that of con
tinuous grazing. The pasture may
be divided by a temporary elect
ric fence, the advantage resulting
in the grazed area recovering
while the other is being grazed
off.
Dividing the pasture in this
manner will also allow for a cut
of hay where the growth is very
abundant. The new growth will
then provide pasture later on and
in this manner help to extend
the grazing period.
