Minerals in a Poultry Ration
'The parts which minerals play in
the body of a bird are many and var-
ied. Besides - furnishing the frame-
work through bone formation, they
serve important roles in regulating,
maintaining; and' reproducing, says
Morris Novikoff, Poultry Division-,
Central Experimental Farm. Fortu-
nately moet of the essential minerals
are supplied by the common ingredi-
ents of a poultry ration. While moat
feeds of plant origin are low in chlor-
ine and sodium and, with the excep-
tion of green feeds, low .in calcium,
feeds of animal origin are rich in
most of the important minerals re-
quired by birds. The tendency, how-
ever, is to reduce the amount of feed
from animal sources to a minimum;
for example, substituting meat meal
in part by soya bean meal and also
reducing the •amount of fish meal in
the ration. The mineral problem thug
becomes critical. ,Wliet, then, must
be added to the diet to supplement
the minerals removed by reduction in
feeds from animal sources? On the
surface it appears a simple 'matter to
include mor bonemeal, or detluorin-
ated rock phosphate to supply addi-
tional calcium and phosphorus or oys
ter shell or limestone ,for calcium on -
only, iodized salt' for sodium, chlorine
and iodine, and manganese sulphate
for manganese. •
Knowledge in mineral metabolism
is as yet very limited since there is'
much to be determined with regard
to the so-called "trace" elements, the
minerals that are present in very
minute quantity in the ration. It has,
been shown that certain deficiencies
are sometimes found ,when bird
range on some soils and are not
found ,where they are raised on other
areas.
It is evident, that. as soils are -re-
pleted of their natural minerals by
continued crop farming, these defici-
encies will show up in a lowered min-
eral content of the plant and thus in
the ration.
it /should be mentioned that cer-
tain 'minerals when .found in excess
in forage crops or grains are definite-
ly poisonous.„-Forex'aurpie, selenium
at a level of five parts per million and
fluorine at two, parts pert' fnillion are
harmful to poultry.. The • difficulty in
the balancing of "minerals is the in-
teraction and inter -relationship that
ocpirr 'w-ithin the ,bird itself, one
mineral affecting the function of an-
other. For example, an excess of
calcium increases the -requirement for
manganese, potassium increase must
be counterbalanced by sodium, while
the 'presence of arsenic counteracts
the poisonous effects of selenium.
It can readily be seen that the kind
and amount of minerals in each poul-
try ration will depend upon the min-
eral content of each of the ingredi-
ents and the formula used for the..
ration. As 'the mineral content 'var-
ies wider' within each ingredient as
well as in different rations it is ob-
viously impossible for: anyone to
make up a so-called "mineral mix-
ture" to be added in a stipulated
amount to anyand all rations. •
The fact that the available knowl-
edge as'yet is so limited an'd'the re-
action of one element with another is
so intricate suggeststhat the, addi-
tion of trace elements to mixed feeds
for general use is as yet not justified
excepting where proved deficiencies
of such elements exist.
Dipping Sheep
E'armers who raise sheep•know that
sheep kept free from ticks and lice
are in better health, are. more easily
kept in good condition, eat less, and
grow more wool, all of which means'
more profit.
Sheep owners also know that sheep
should be dipped at least once a year
—preferably as soon as possible after
shearing, but many owners givg their
flocks a second dipping in the fall in
September or October to • ensure the
comfort and the health of the sheep
during the winter, .
Where a community dipping tank is
• not convenient for small flocks an
distant parts, it is not necessary to
construct an elaborate dipping plant.
A large ,barrel or trough large enough
to hold sufficient dip to immerge a
sheep will answer the purpose.' • A
small draining platform can easily be
built so that the dipped sheep may
stand until the dip has drained off.
Most standard dips will produce ef-
fective results,. provided the directions
of the manufacturers are carefully
followed. Dips are sold in two forms
—powder and liquid. The powder
form requires a little longer to pre-
pare and more caution sncl,exactitude
in the preparation of the bath. How-
has- the a :dvants:ge claimed by
they manefaetui•ers that the Powder
sediment remains long. enough in the
fleece to kill eggs when they hatch.
The liquid form has the advantage of
being easier to prepare and is'ef€ec-
tive, but, to ensure complete eradica-
Mon a second dipping in two or three,
weeks is recommended. This is it
saregnard applicable to all forms. of
dip. Young lambs should be kept
away, from the ewes for some hours
after dipping, because the, dap from
the fleece invariably rung off the
points of the teats, and therehave
beet eases of nursing lambs having
been *dieted.

Cows Killed By Lightning
Thursday afternoon during an elec-
trical storm that went over this dis-
trict, Wiliam Drummond, residing on
the 12th concession of Logan, lost
two grade cows and another one was
hurt. They were out in a field and
the two were side by side but were
tt
near neither fence nor -ee. The
third was sixty or so feet away. Near
the village of Monkton .b learn 'be-
longing to Russell Shine was struck.
Itis understood a few shingles torn
off was the . extent of the damage.
There was a regular cloudburst in
the village and some cellars were de-
luged with three or four feet of wa-
ter.—Mitchell
