 even on different 

 farms in the same 

 section. A large latitude must be allowed the individual

 poultryman is con- 

 tent to follow set 

 rules and blindly at- 

 tempt to make his 

 conditions and en- 

 vironment conform 

 to the feed rations 

 rather than make 

 the rations conform 

 to his special condi- 

 tions. II av i n g a
