Boston Transcript. , Meat scrap or other animal feed high in protein is the one essential part of the mash which cannot well be omitted, according to A G. Oliver, Poultry Club Leader for North Carolina. In a recent experiment at the gov ernment farm, Beltsville, Md., a pen of pullets on free range which did not get meat scrap or any other animal protein feed, laid only 90 eggs in a year, com pared with yields of from 125 to 150 eggs from pens fed rations containing meat scrap. the eggs irom the pen where no meat scrap was includ ed in the ration cost 2,2 cents more a dozen than when the meat scrap was included. Fish meal or fish scrap can be used to replace the meat scrap and compares favorably with a good grade of meat scrap containing the same per cent of protein. Skim-milk or buttermilk either sweet or sour is excellent for re placing part or all of the meat scrap. 1 he milk may be used in mixing the mash, if a moist mash is fed, or it can be kept before the fowls as a drink. If clabber ed and fed thick, or like cheese, hens will eat enough ot it to re-1 place all the meat scrap needed. A little bone meal makes an ex cellent addition to the mash or it can be used to replace part of the meat scrap. On general farms during the growing months the fowls pick up many bugs and worms which furnish an excellent source of animal protein feed, therefore, they do not need so much beef scrap as hens which do not have a good range, but the bugs do not furnish enough meat feed to give a good egg yield. The use of table scraps and cooked vegetables also helps to reduce the necessary meat from one-third to one-half, depending on the quantity of meat products in the scraps. The scraps are fed to the best advantage if ground up mixed with the mash and fed moist. do not entirely replace meat or animal protein feeds to advan tage, but in sections where pro duced they may be used to re place one-fourth to one-half the meat scraps. Of the high vegetable protein feeds, cottonseed meal has given the best results followed by pea nut meal and soybean meal. Not more than one-tenth of the mash should be composed of cotton seed meal, as the use of a larger proportion cuts down the egg yield materially and may affect the quality of the eggs, producing spots and blotches on the yolk which makes them look bad. Other high vegetable protein feeds which can be used with success for poultry are gluten and linseed meal. .
