Fareers eer , poultrymen will and it more profitable to market young cockerelwhen they reach a weight of two pounds rather than to feed the birds. nntil late fall or early winter, according to results secured in feeding tests at the Ohio Experiment Statlon, The, experiments show that at least ten pounds of grain must be fed to produce a pound of gain, and it is doubtlul whether grain sb.ould be ut- ilized for :meat production througb poultry. On. the average the feed- hecepare to grew the 'netts to anaturitY will coat 4 cent e a pound; thus unless the poul- try producer lias a epecial market for the beavierbirds the priee secured next fail may not pay for the -feed given the 'fowls. Young cockerels marketed now as broilers geurallY bring an attractive price; then the flock may at once be fed with a Yiew of developing winter `produers, the Denary specialists' point out.
