I02 THE CORNING EGG FARM BOOK 



For those who do not find it possible to set up the 

 necessary bone-cutting machinery there are numerous 

 brands of " Beef Scrap " on the market. This is 

 made from green bone and meat which is 

 then cooked, ground and pressed, so as to preserve 

 it fresh and sweet. This also is a most successful 

 way to supply the hens with the necessary amount 

 of animal food. It is readily mixed into the 

 mash, just as the green cut bone is, and, where the 

 proper mechanical mixer is used, it is possible 

 to thoroughly coat the entire meal mixture with the 

 oily condition coming from the beef scrap, and 

 until one has seen beef scrap mixed into the mash 

 by such a mixer he has no idea how successful the 

 operation is in preparing a high grade mash. The 

 beef scrap and also the fresh cut bone carry a high 

 percentage of phosphorus, and in fact have about 

 all the ingredients found in animal food secured by 

 the hen while running on Range. 



There are now appearing numerous advertisements 

 of a prepared fish, to take the place of other animal 

 foods, but The Corning Egg Farm is unable to give 

 any opinion as to the efficiency of this preparation. 

 It has been the rule at the Farm, when we have 

 thoroughly tested and found satisfactory any article 

 of food, not to experiment with the various substi- 

 tutes which at all times are so widely advertised.
