Answer:

Wheat screenings are almost worthless. There is of course a wide difference in them, but even the best are of little value.

The proportion of good sound grain in them is very small, and a much greater bulk must be consumed by the fowl in order to secure the same result.

This excess of worthless matter is not only injurious to the fowl but makes the cost of feeding greater, because much more is required to sustain the fowl.
