Página 110 - Set rice over the fire with skimmed milk, only as much as will serve one day. Let it boil till the rice is quite swelled out : you may add a tea-spoonful or two of sugar, but it will do well without. Feed them three times a day, in common pans, giving them only as much as will quite fill them at once.

Página 53 - S3 were alive at the close of the fifteenth week of contrasted feeding. They were then fed for four weeks on the meat-meal ration and made nearly as rapid gains as the other lot at the same size two months before, but they never quite overcame the disadvantage of their bad start on grains alone. * * * " In conclusion, then, it may be said that rations in which from 40 to 50 per cent of the protein was supplied by animal food gave more economical results than rations drawing most of their protein...
Página 44 - ... 3. Of two like pens of Cochins, the one fed whole grain produced eggs at much less cost than did the pen having ground grain, which result is attributed partly to the exercise assured in feeding whole grain. 4. With the kinds of whole grain ordinarily available it is not possible to feed a largely grain ration having as narrow a nutritive ratio, that is, containing as large a proportion of the nitrogenous food constituents, as is perhaps necessary for best results from laying hens.
Página 44 - SUMMARY. 1. Two lots of laying hens, of large and small breeds respectively, having their grain food only dry and whole, ate more food at greater cost per fowl and for the live weight than did two similar lots having about 37 per cent. of their grain ground and moistened. 2. A pen of Leghorns, which had for the year 37 per cent of...
Página 45 - By using some of the highly nitrogenous by-products with ground grain it is possible to feed a somewhat narrow ration without feeding an excessive amount of meat. 6. With hens fed similar rations, when the hens of smaller breeds give only the same egg yield as the hens of larger breeds, the eggs are...

The subject of feeding and fattening poultry is prepared largely from the side of the best practice and experience here and abroad, although the underlying science of feeding is explained as fully as needful. The subject covers all branches, including chickens, broilers, capons, turkeys and waterfowl ; how to feed under various conditions and for different purposes. The whole subject of capons and caponizing is treated in detail. A great mass of practical information and experience not...
Página 51 - It is well known that poultry when allowed to range at will eat considerable quantities of animal matter in the form of insects, worms, etc. How necessary this animal matter is to the health of fowls, and especially ducks, was strikingly brought out by recent experiments at the New York State Experiment Station. Two lots each of chickens and ducks, as nearly alike as possible, were used in these experiments. One lot in each case was fed a ration of mixed grains and...
Página 26 - ... chickens thrive. To secure the best results, foods simulating both the composition and the mechanical character of these should be supplied. For instance, in the summer the tips of grasses are young and tender and easily broken by the chickens. For green stuff to be easily assimilable, some plant should be supplied which may also be easily broken. We have found hanging a head of lettuce in the brooder by a string to exactly furnish the desired want and be greedily, even crazily, eaten by the...
Página 142 - The bird is taken between the knees, the bill held open with the left hand, and a cut made across the roof of the mouth just below the eyes. The bird is then stunned by striking its head against a post or some hard substance. The picker seats himself in the chair with the bird in his lap (see Figure 32), its head held firmly between one knee and the box.
