SUCCESS IN POULTRY CULTURE 
being true, I don’t think it would be best 
for poultrymen in other localities to try 
to follow my methods of feeding to the 
letter, but rather to try to make up well- 
balanced rations from the home-grown 
products. Poultry will thrive and be 
found profitable on almost any well-bal- 
anced ration that can be thought of, and 
that ration should be composed of the 
foods that are the most abundant in your 
locality. 
A great many poultrymen think that 
they can not get along without a good 
per cent. of wheat in their poultry rations, 
but wheat, as well as oats, is so scarce 
and high-priced in our locality that we 
have not been able to use either of these 
grains profitably in making up our poul- 
try rations. 
We are in the egg-producing business, 
and we breed single-comb White Leghorns 
for that purpose. Our method of feeding 
these active birds might not work so well 
with some of the less active and larger 
breeds. Our flock has a large range to 
run over, which is not often covered with 
snow in the winter-time. This gives them 
plenty of exercise and an out-of-doors life
