spch a small bunch of "peppers”
the Irishmen beat the Bobcats
27-0. No reports got out about
anyone being drowned, although
the rain poured all during the
half. The players had the fun of
their lives slipping all around the
Bobcats. But even with all the
expert sliding the Shamrock bunch
came home crying “We win, we
win!” And Childress was left

Feeding Poultry
Half the Battle
The practice of forcing the farm
poultry flock to subsist on scraps
and waste around the farmstead
is fast becoming obsolete in Texas
along with the gradual disappear-
ance of the mongrel flock and the
use of trees for roosting places.
At least this is the observation
of E. N. Holmgreen, Extension
Poultryman at Texas A. and M.
College, who points to the fact
that scientific feeding is coming
into quite general use. “While it
is true,” he says, “that good feed-
ing is of no avail where the flock
is scrubby or wormy or preyed
upon by vermin or poorly housed,
it is also true that about hnlf the
failures to make poultry profits
are due to improper feeding.”
“How shall I feed my flock?”
is a question asked in hundreds
of letters monthly to the Exten-
sion Service, and the usual reply
is a suggestion to try the “Big
5 Ration,” as follows: 100 pounds
each of corn or milo meal, ground
oats, wheat bran, wheat shorts
and meat scrap of 50 per cent
protein. The bran and shorts
may be substituted by using an
equal weight of finely ground
wheat. For the scratch feed the
proportions are 2 pounds cracked
corn or milo, 1 pound wheat and
1 pound oats. This ration is de-
signed for farms where no milk
is available. It is easily changed
for flocks having plenty of any
kind of milk before them at all
times by omitting the meat scrap
in the mash as given, and feeding
3 pounds cracked corn or milo and
1 pound of wheat in the scratch
feed, omitting the oata.
