used In its preparation. If a poultry
rgiser does not produce any grain and
keeps a comparatively small number
of fowls, It Is often better for him to
tray commercial mixed feeds. The
average farmer, however, should feed
home-grown grains, supplemented with
mill feeds and meat scrap, and tha
large poultryman usually can mix. his
own feeds to beet advantage. Whfen
two or three kinds nf grain arv raised,
tad ground or mill feeds are not read-
ily available, good results can be ob-
tained by feeding only the grains
provided they are supplemented with
meat scrap or milk.
