developed 'chiekens should like-
wise be culled out and used as
meat. This way of disposing ,of.
unprofitable fowls would allow
the farmer to feed his grain to
younger and more productive
fowls.
A practice that should be adopt-
dfy ’ f throughout the war period
was tauten by the senate Saturday
night. Bv a vote of 38vto 32, the
Cummiins amendment to the esp-

grains, cereals, sugar or syrup in
the manufacture of alcoholic -bev-
erages was\ adopted. •

The greater prediction of tur-
keys, ducks, geese and guineas,
all of which can be £ip*ofiiift>ly
raised and a ready market found
in most sections, would increase
the supply of poultry meat con-
siderably. The production of
ducks especially should be empha-
sized at this time, because of the
rapidity with which they grow.
Ducks of most of the meat breeds
properly fed and managed, fre-
quently weigh from five to six
pounds at ten weeks of age. It is
estimated by poultry men mak-
ing a specialty of growing ducks
that the feed cost per pound of
producing duck meat ranges
from 8c to 12c, depending upon
current prices of grain and
ker feeds.
