SG "lr I CS£ <i3£ iai^lil^’Uß'l Next winter's egg profits,.. depend on what you do this spring 1 What determines laying house profits? Price of eggs? Disease? Cost of feed? Rate of lay? Yes ... all these are important, but record-keeping Eastern poultry men will tell you the biggest factor of all is the kind of a pullet you start with! They’re not talking about the different strains, neces sarily. They’re merely saying that pullets started and raised right— with the best of breeding, feeding, sanita tion, and management—invariably make more eggs and more money than those raised any other way. In fact, poorly-raised pullets sometime fail to make a return over feed cost! So raise them on the Purina Program. We’ll help you all we can with advice on debeaking, housing, feeding. We have Purina disease treatments and wormers with Research-approved directions on how to use them. We’ll help you wind up next fall with a hunch of big, sturdy, Purina-fed pullets developed to return good money for you in the laying house. S. H. Hiestand & Co.

Forage Testing 'plan except when milk is unusually low m ponce compared with the price of gram It may then be most economical to ifeed no graig. to cows on good pasture unless they are producing more than 1 pound of butterfat a day, and, to feed higher producers only Vz to % as much as indicated. Even, when the feeding of a grain mixture to cotvs on good pasture does not result m eno ugh higher production durfing the summer to show an immed iate profit, it may nevertheless be advisable. This is because it will prevent good cows from running down in condition on pasture and will result in high er yields during the following fall and winter. When cows are'" grazed on luxuriant, intensively fertilized pastures, it may be wise to ipro vide them with a little hay op other dry roughage, and to feed only a small amount of concentrates The feed cost will be considerably lower on the combination of hay and con centrates Since young grass and other forage plants are very rich in protein, on the dry basis, there is no need of using a gram mixture that is rich in protein for cows on good pasture. Merely a mixture of farm gr ains or a concentrate mixture containing 12% protein will provide plenty of protein for cows on excellent pasture, ex cept m the case of unusually heavy producers. In some tests cows on good pasture produced as much or nearly as much milk when fed a concentrate mixture having only 11 to 12% total protein as did others fed a mixture containing much more protein. In no case was the field on the high-protein mixture enough greater to pay for the addition al cost Unless the grass is kept growing actively by liberal fer tilization and proper pasture management, it will be consid erably lower in protein, on the dry basis, during midsummer. It will then be necessaiy to in crease protein content of the concentrate mixture Unless the pasture is decidedly poor, how ever, ,it will not be necessary to have more than 16 to 18% protein in the mixture. 9
