THE  HENYARD 
Bread  for  Poultry 
We  are  in  a  position  to  secure  unlimit¬ 
ed  quantities  of  stale  bread  from  one  of 
the  biggest  bakeries  in  New  York.  What 
would  be  the  food  value  of  100  lbs.  of 
bread,  mixed  with  white  bran,  rye,  as 
food  for  chickens?  Do  you  think  that 
there  is  a  chance  of  selling  to  poultry- 
men?  What  would  be  a  fair  value  for 
100  lbs.  delivered?  Would  it  be  neces¬ 
sary  to  have  it  ground,  or  would  it  sell 
as  well  in  the  loaf?  A.  L. 
New  York. 
Stale  bread  is  rather  difficult  to  market 
in  its  original  condition  as  a  feed  for 
poultry  owing  to  the  fact  that  it  must 
be  fed  while  comparatively  fresh,  as  it 
is  liable  to  mould  and  spoil  if  kept  any 
great  length  of  time.  It  is  therefore  nec¬ 
essary  that  it  should  be  kiln-dried  and 
ground  quite  fine  to  prepare  it  for  poul¬ 
try  food  which  can  be  transported  and 
sold  in  a  commercial  way.  At  the  present 
time  at  least  one  company  in  New  York 
is  handling  stale  bread  in  this  manner 
and  guaranteeing  it  free  from  mould.  I 
have  no  analysis  of  the  dried  product, 
but  have  always  considered  its  food  value 
about  equal  to  cornmeal,  while  the  fact 
that  it  is  thoroughly  cooked  no  doubt  adds 
to  its  digestibiliey,  making  it.  worth  a  lit¬ 
tle  more  than  cornmeal.  At  present  mar¬ 
ket  prices  cornmeal  sells  around  $40  to 
$42  per  ton,  and  the  dried  ground  bread 
at  $45  per  ton.  It  will  be  necessary  for 
you  to  meet  the  competition  of  others 
who  have  been  at  the  business  for  some 
time  and  have  learned  how  to  handle  the 
trade.  Broken  crackers  have  been  selling 
at  $22  per  ton,  which  is  also  another 
source  of  competition.  Probably  the  best 
way  to  market  this  product  is  to  adver¬ 
tise  it  and  sell  it  through  the  regular 
channels  of  trade.  No  doubt  feed  deal¬ 
ers  could  be  induced  to  carry  a  supply 
on  hand  after  a  demand  had  been  created. 
It  might  also  be  possible  to  work  up  a 
trade  in  this  product  through  co-opera¬ 
tive  organizations  like  the  Long  Island 
Duck  Growers  or  the  Atlantic  States 
Poultry  Producers’  Association.

Is  there  a  single  book  in  the  public 
library  in  your  town  which  gives  an  ac¬ 
curate  picture  of  farm  life  or  an  interest¬ 
ing  story  of  real  farm  people? 
Many  city  people  form  their  opinion  of 
farmers  and  farm  life  from  the  books  they 
read.  Therefore,  there  ought  to  be  at 
least  one  good  book  picturing  real  farm 
life,  with  its  mixture  of  bright  and  dark 
sides,  in  every  town  or  grange  library. 
"Hope  Farm  Notes”  is  a  well-printea 
224-page  book,  containing  25  interesting 
stories  of  farm  life  and  country  people. 
Many  consider  it  the  best  book  of  country 
life  which  has  ever  been  published. 
Ask  for  this  book  at  your  library,  and 
if  it  isn’t  there  tell  them  they  ought  to 
have  it.  You  will  enjoy  the  book  your¬ 
self,  and  it  will  give  those  not  familiar 
with  farm  life  a  better  understanding  of 
real  country  people. 
Many  people  are  making  a  present  of 
this  book  to  city  friends  or  to  their  town, 
grange  or  school  library,  and  it  is  always 
considered  a  welcome  gift. 
The  price  is  only  $1.50,  postpaid.  Just
