POULTRY fiMgal FATTEN BROILERS FOR MARKETING For the most pait, formers and poultry raisers whs keep Leghorn chickens pay most attention to the production of eggs. They think of eggs as the chief end of poultry keeping. My experience has been that by paying a little more attention to the fattening and marketing of Leghorns, the income from this source can be considerably increased, says a writer j In the Successful Farming. Especially j Is this true when marketing broilers. ■ . Leghorn broilers bitten easily when j confined and, force fed for about two i weeks. They will censuine about two pounds of feed during this time and j should show a gain in weight of one- ! half to three-fourths of a pound. There are two methods which I i have employed in fattening broilersi : These are pen ans crate fattening. ' The simplest and most logical method , for farm conditions I have found is j pen fattening. | Following this method, the birds are confined in small pens when about one i and one-half pounds in weight and are fed the following mash: 25 pounds cornmeal. 15 poueds middlings. 8 pounds meat scraps, and one-half-pound salt. This is fed as a wet mash by adding sour milk, buttermilk, or skim . milk. The birds are fed this mash j three times a day and are permitted ' to eat for half an hour at a time. 1 when the uneaten portion Is removed. ■ It is important that the intervals between the feedings should be a* nearly equal as possible. The object of feeding this wet mash Is to get the birdstd eat large amounts of food so they will make maximum I gains in the shortest time. Corn meal and milk In any form j should be the foundation of any good i fattening mash. It should also be re- j membered that when milk is used in i fattening fowls, not a too large amount j of meat scraps should be used. One reason for the wide spread tn prices paid for Leghorn broilers and those of the heavier breeds Is because the Leghorn, being more active. will not take on flesh as readily as the heavier breeds when on free range. __— Roosters Can Be Sold Now, Says J. H. McAdams Now that the Incubation period is > over there Is no further need for roost- ; ers In the flock and all but one or two j of the best male birds can be sold, advtses J. H. McAdams, extension poultryman at the Kansas State Agricultural college. Every flock owner knows, according to McAdams, that the male bird is unnecessary so far as the production of market eggs is j concerned. Male birds now represent • Ju«t so many extra mouths.to feed, he i says. The hitch to selling male birds I comes largely from the price consideration, according to McAdams, who says that when these birds were purchased last fail or early winter they were valued from $2 up to possibly $lO each. Today with old roosters commanding 16 cents a pound an exceptionally high price prevails, but as soon as the old roostetrs start moving to market the price will drop probably ■ to about 10 cents a pound. “Even though old roosters were such ■ drug on the market that he could not sell them at all, no farmer could afford to keep them in his flock.” McAdams warns. ‘To live, a rooster must eat and the feed bill on each individual one will be at least 10 cents a month, making a total cost of at least SO cents to hold the old birds over until February.” Poultry Hints The results of chickens eating carI rton or spoiled feed are limberneck or Indigestion. • • • Egg eating is a vicious habit and the best method to combat it Is the slaughter of the offending birds. • • • Convenience for both hens and caretaker should be considered—convenl- < ence means cleanliness and cleanliness means health. •• • ' A laying hen is about the only ex- ! ample of a going concern that can sit •till and yet produce dividends. • • • , The first quality that makes for i success and profit in the poultry flock I* vigor, vitality or constitution. Choose your own name for thia quality. I A chicken that la liberally fed does I not. as a rule, exercise enough to run off flesh but only enough to keep In I good general health and to have a i good appetite. • • • Eggs will remain fertile up to ten days after the male has been removed from the breeding pen. • • • Given a chance, poultry will return good profits on the investment Cleanliness is one of the best guarantee* of success. Poultry diseases spread principally in four ways: By the birds eating dead diseased birds, by contaminated air. through drinking water, and through the droppings of diseased | birds. • • • Hens lay larger eggs than pullets, which hatch bigger and stronger chicka. • • • Eggw from latolen” nests should net be marketed; they are of unknown age and Quality and should be used at borne. • • • A good mash for poultry may be made up of bran middlings, ground oats, corn meat and tankage—one part of each by weight or if one baa a liberal supply <rf milk, half the tanV ace may be omitted.
