Economy of Production
Through Good Breeding
(Experimental Farms News)
The net return yielded by a poultry
flock is directly proportional to the
rate of production. Heavy laying
Hocks, that is, those which average
2011 eggs pet' bird, will produce one
dozen eggs for every 5 to 6 pounds of
feed, while those producing only 100
eggs per bird, consume S to 10
pounds of feed for each dozen eggs.
Among those factors which give
efficiency of production Is the in-
herent quality of the stock. While it
is out of the question for the individ-
ual farmer to practice trap -nesting
and individual selection, as does the
specialized breeder. he can rapidly
build up the quality of his flock
through the use of selected males.
High quality breeding males can be
purchased from any reliable breeder
at a a)ontinal price.
Economy of Production Through
Proper Poultry Feeding
(Experimental Farms News)
Proper feeding of poultry is with-
out doubt the most important single
factor in determining not only the
level but the efficiency of production
whether it be growth, eggs, chick or
a fattened market product that is re-
quired. The general tendency to
cheapen the ration at the cost of re
dured production is greatly to be
condemned in view of the fact that
the non-productive individual must
consume almost as much feed as the
productive one in order to maintain
itself in bodily activity.
In short. whether it be growth, egg
production or fattening, the feed re-
quirements to maintain the body are
an overwhelming proportion of the
total teed required and it can there-
fore be appreciated that full feeding
of quality feeds is the profitable
feeding management for the flock.
It was the first time the shy young
man had been to a big dance. and
when his partner decided she did not
want to dance the next one he was at
a loss for something to talk about.
"Do you ever have indigestion?"
he asked, in a desperate effort to
make conversation.
The girl looked at him queerly.
"No," she said, shortly.
"What a pity," murmured the
youth. "I know an excellent remedy)"
"Why is she reducing?"
