Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Seven Methods of Feeding Young Chickens. 553 Total food consumption The weight of total food consumed would not show a true comparison in this respect of the methods of feeding because the flock having the skimmed milk would be charged with so great a proportion of water contained in the milk. The other flocks had this moisture in the drinking water, but it is not regarded as part of their food. In order that the accounts of the flocks might be comparable, the estimates have been made on the basis of dry matter* in the food consumed.
