quality feed farmers feeders and poultrymen will be interested in the production of a new high quality feed cor poul try swine and young livestock this feed called oat groats is made by taking the hulls off oats thus greatly reducing the fibre increasing the protein and lowering the cost of the food nutrients by a saving in freight although there is some variation in the chemical analysis the aveyago sample shows about l7proteii and from 2y to 3 fibre oat groats are fairly high in fat also containing about s of this valu able nutrient for young calves young pigs and all ages of poultry this feed will prove valuable in assisting rapid growth and general vigor because of the high protein and low fibre content the price of this product is very low when the feed value is compared to other feeds by buying this feed in carlot quan tities and using canadian barley to replace corn the cost of production of poultry and live stock products can be substantially reduced farm ers and poultrymen are advised to get in touch with their feed dealers regarding these products better seed pays big dividends in crop improvement production may be increased from 10 to 11 pounds per bushel and from 10 to 14 bush els per acre by sowing only large plump seed the farmer will find it a paying proposition to get the old fanning mill out of the storehouse fit it up properly with screens and
