Poultry raisers can cut costs by home mixing feeds
A. O. Thokehi of Minnesota University says poultry raisers who grow grain and raise their own birds can save money by mixing their own mashes. Local dealers can grind grains if mills are unavailable, and proper proportions with animal and mineral matter yield satisfactory rations at low cost. The poultry division at University Farm Saint Paul offers complete mixing instructions by mail. Dairy farmers with skimmed milk from creameries can also obtain guidance on using by products for laying flocks.
