Show Economical Egg Ration for Summer Production Sixty per cent of the cost of egg production is usually feed cost, H. H. Alp, University of Illinois, told farmers farm-ers at Urbana recently. It is to the advantage of every poultryman poul-tryman to use good rations but as cheap ones as possible while eggs must sell for 20 cents a dozen, or less. An economical ration at present grain prices can be made by using 195 pounds yellow corn, 100 pounds of ground wheat, 100 pounds ground oats, 100 pounds meat scrap and five pounds salt. The price of this ration should be around $1.65 a hundred. |
