| Show much valuable feed Is blown away by the wind saving saving poultry feed would be a penny wise and pound foolish polley policy as usually understood when one speaks of saving feed he usually refers to cutting down on the grain and mash fed the growing chicks or hens with the hope that the birds will be able to pick up additional feed around the yards or in the melds to make up what the owner does not give there Is another method of saving feed that Is commonly overlooked the saving of which la Is much more real that Is to feed the grain and mash so that little Is wasted and unused pr probably none achieves the ideal whereby none Is wasted unless one feeds only whole grain and scatters it on bare ground in such limited quantities that it Is cleaned up in a minute or two feeding dry mash calls for adequate feeders in feeding cracked corn many farmers have a considerable portion of finely ground corn in the grain as it comes from the mill scattered on the ground this finely ground portion Is largely lost dumping the cracked corn and wheat in the mash feeders works nicely and saves this finely ground corn since it blends with the mash after tile the coarser portions are paten eaten another source of wastage in mash Is having it blow away whether the feeders are inside with the windows open or outside they need protection from wind A surprising amount of mash can blow out of an open feeder during a windy day |
