We know of a number of poultrymen, v/ho, instead of buying beef scrap, fish meal, or green bone, will buy bones from the meat market. These are put in a large kettle and boiled. The water from same is rich in fooa value, as it is the same as beef soup or broth. A little salt is put in to add flavor. The bones are removed after all the substance has been boiled from them. Mix some bran, shorts and corn meal with the bone soup and you have one of the best foods in the world. You do not need beef scrap or fish meal in that case. A large quantity of this can be boiled at one time. If you do not care to feed it all at one feeding, it will keep for several days. Use just enough to moisten your mash each day. Milk in any form is a good substitute for beef scrap. Poultry, young or old, must have meat food or milk in some form if they are to keep in good health, grow rapidly and produce lots of eggs.
