"It is slightly more expensive," says
hex Sherrod, manager of the hatchery, "out
you will find it worth while as it con
tains better materials and will give
better results."

kr. «ndcrson of the Extension: Service says
cf the now mash formula, "It should prove
most satisfactory for Alaska chickens.
It is a properly balance:! formula. There
arc vegetable and animal proteins, the
alfalfa is the sane as 'canned sunshine'
and that and the yellow corn are high in
Vitamin D which is essential where we
have so little sunshine. There is also
lgfo of cod liver oil and up until new
there has never been more than lp. The
formula contains in food values: lS.SeJb
proteins, which build tissue and muscle
and helps eyg production; g. 31 fa ash, which
is a bone buildor and, also, aids in
digestion; 4.71,» crude fibre vhich is
roughage; 60fo carbohydrates end fat which
produce energy and heat and build a re
serve which helps prevent disease; and
the balance of 6.12y is water? altogether
with proper scratch rations, it should
help produce a stronger, healthier and
mere productive lot cf hens in the Vrllcy”
HATCHERY T1 START EXPERIMENTAL FEEDING
EGG LGi.SH FROL! LOCALLY GROUN PRODUCTS
Beginning Monday the hatchery will begin
an experiment with 150 pullets tc ascer
tain results v'h-ch can bo expected from
feeding an egg i.insh composed of locally
rewn feed. These 150 chickens were six
months cld on December 4th and are now
laying about 20p production. There will
be r daily comparison of those chickens
with 150 others of the same ago and con
dition. They will be watched for egg
pro<action and general health. Host of
the birds in the hatchery arc new being
trapnestod so. that it is possible to keep
<"n exact record c£ every bird's laying.
It all started when Don Irwin of the Ex
periment.'.! Farm furnished a list of the
properties contained in locally grown
feed. These wore listed with th.e various
kinds of food available hero and sent to
the Department of poultry Husbandry of
Iowa State College, who ir. turn worked
out a formula suitable to hens raised in
this country. It is composed of ground
barley, ground wheat, ground rye, fish
meal, dried n-lk, ground pea vines,
ground oyster shell, salt and cod liver
oil. At the present time it would be
necessary to j.urchase the dried milk, salt
oyster smell .and cod liver oil from the
outside out in time it might be possible
to dry the- milk here.
Ht the same time, they advised that a
scratch composed of equal parts of cats,
barley and wheat could bo fed but it
would ■ lsc be necessary to furnish milk
tc the horns tc supply Vitamin G, which is
lacfcin. • from this train ration. This is
cr. the basis cf 12 pounds of scratch tc
15 pounds of laying mash per 100 hens per
day.
The hatchery is going to try it out and
it is hoped that at the er.d cf the six
months1 period a truly satisfactory formu
la from locally grown foods can be used
generally.
