COST OF FEEDING CHICKENS
Interesting Experiments Made by O-e
Son Station—Larger Breeds Eat
More Then Smaller.
How much does \t really com to
feed a Jaying hen a year? To this
question there will be many answ* «*
Some will say one thing, tome an-
othti. but how about the facts?
In experiments made by the Ore*; ;i
experiment station, covering several
years, in which every ounce of food
was weighed, six pens of Leghorn

pounds o? oats, 112 pounds of
urnn and shorts and 235 pounds of
skim milk, in addition to some animal
foo l The cost of the total food per
fowl for the year varied in different
pens from 61 to 78 cents, and aver-
aged <; ; centa
The wheat was charged at 1 cent
a poiimi, corn at I hi, oats at 1 cent,
skim milk at of a cent and brar.
and shorts at 3-5 of a cent. The ani-
mal food cost from 5 to ti cents per
fowl The wheat constituted nearly
h half el the '• tst 1 cost. The hens laid
an average of 144 eggs per fowl, val

The prices wire from 10 cents to 2!

worth, say, HO cents, and had been
eharged for it that rate, and bran a*
1 cent a pound, the cost per fowl
would have b n about !♦ cents mor*\

A steady advance in price from sea
