They try to solve the problem in Various ways. In doing so they should bear in mind the following im- portant points: the equipment on hand and space available so as not to crowd the birds; buying early chicks from a dependable breeder or hatchery; purchasing only high quality feed; choosing the breed (light or heavy); and deciding whether to raise mixed or sexed chicks. Under conditions similar to those at the Dominion Experimen- tal Station, Kapuskasing, Ont.. J, L. Tessier believes that in farrr flocks it is more profitable to raise mixed chicks rather than sexedl chicks. An experiment was made to de- termine the cost of rearing chieks with two different groups of Barred-Plymouth Rock Chicks: one group mived, and the other group sexed. The results showed that the profit from the sales of the cockerels of the mixed group covered rearing costs (cost of chickens and feed) of the pullets which were kept as layers; while the sexed chicks, in the fall. had cost $1.18 per pellet, Raising mixed chickens would, seem advisable for a farmer with' a poultry flock of 100 to 200 hens. as a sideline. and who can depend upon his family's help in killing the birds in the fall. But the dis- tance from the market is import- ant. If his farm is only a short distance from a city or town where there is a continuous de- mand for poultry meat, the mixed chicks would be prefer- able. but if such a market is re- mote transportation will reduce proflts: An important thing in starting early chicks, is the amount of floor space to supply per chick. Early sexed pullet chicks kept confined IO to 12 weeks, require at least one square foot of fioor space per chick. If straight run chicks are started. two chicks may be started per square foot, but the chicks should be disuded as soon as the cockerels can be disting- uished. The cockerels are ready for sale as broilers or fryers at a season when the supply is light. demand good, and prices best, Many farmers could materially lower the cost of raising their housed pullets by purchasmg mixed chicks and raising the cockerels for market, For a specialized poultryman, mixed chicks may not be as ad- vantageous tor he usually has limited ground, equipment. and buildings Moreover. the straight run chicks need additional help for rearing and again at knlhng and dressing Mme. all of which add to production cost Ebydalo Holstein Makes 754 Lbs.

Such a seed- ing may be called short-term pas- ture mixture since it usually re- mains in pasture only as long as it is productive. The pasture is then broken up and is incorporated into the regular rotation on the farm. ..
