That milk has a value as a part ot the poultry ration was strikingly dem- onstrated by the results obtained on one of the poultry demonstration farms which are established and conducted by Purdue university. One farmer who had been feeding milk to his' flock discontinued doing 80 with the arrival of the summer months thinking that the fowls would pick up enough insects to make up for the food value that was furnished by the milk. Almost immediately, how:, ever, his daily egg production began! falling off until, ¥ one month, it had dropped off to one-half what it had been for the month previous. When milk was again made a part of the ration, the daily egg production grad- ually mcreased. As a result of the milk fed, the production the following month was as good as in the spring months and the extra profit made more than paid for the milk fed.
