GREEN FEED FOR HEN FLOCK
Providing It Is Relished by Fowls
There Probably 16 Little Differ
ence in Kind Fed.
Every poultry keejier has a favorite
green feed for ills flock. I suall.v it is
one that can be supplied with least ex
pense and effort. Providing It is rel
ished by the fowls, there probably i*>
little difference in what kind of green
feed Is supplied. United States depart
ment of agriculture specialists say.
fnbbages, turnips and beets are all
suitable for this purpose. The larger
roots urid the cabbages tuny he sus
pended by a wire or they may be
placed on the floor, in which case It
is well to split the turnips or beets
lengthwise with a large knife. Pota
toes may also be fed and should be
cooked. The mangel is excellent for
feeding raw'.
Ulmer, eut up and soaked In boiling
water, is good when fed with mash, as
is clover meal and ground alfalfa.
Sprouted oats or other sprouted grains
may also he fed and make excellent
green feeds, but require considerable
labor. Asa general thing the flock |
should have, once a day, about all the
green feed it will ont.
RANGE FOR GROWING CHICKS
puantities of Green Feed, Bugs
Worms and Other Things Obtained
in Place of Grain.
Nothing Is better for growing chicks
then a liberal supply of sour milk, it
|t can be obtained, it always should be
kept before them in an open illsh or
pan where they can eat and drink 11
freely. Where sour milk is fed, the
amount of beef scrap In the dry mush

Plenty of fresh, clean water Is ah

An abundance of free range with

are to grow rapidly and develop into

department of agriculture. Growing
chicks that have free range obtain
quantities of green feed, bugs, worms
and other things, therefore requiring
less grain, and they are also less liable
to sickness or disease, (live youi

VERMIN ON MATURE POULTRY
Careful Poultryman Will Soon Acquire
Habit of Looking for Injurious
Insects.
On mature fowls, the lice, or tbeii
eggs, can he found between or on the
.feathers of the fluff, the soft feathers
about the thighs and rear part of the
body, on the underside of the long
wing feathers, on top of the head ot
among the feathers on the side of the
thighs. The careful poultryman gets
the habit of looking continually fot
lice.
ENEMIES OF LITTLE CHICKS
Prevention Is Best Procedure Again?
Hawks, Crows, Weasels, Cats
and Other Pests.
Hawks, crows, rats, foxes, skunks
weasels, cats, and dogs are the tnos'
dreaded enemies of the growing chick
en and every spring thousands o’
chicks arc destroyed by them. Paul
trymen who have given thought ant
attention to the question of reducing
the loss due to these pests say th<
best method of procedure Is generallj
prevention.
NO BEST BREED OR VARIETY
Best Plan U to Select Stock' Preferret
and Breed Up to High Standard
of Quality.
There Is no best breed or has
variety of fowls. One person will sue
coed best with a certain breed and hii
neighbor will prefer a different breed
The best plan Is to select the breed o
variety that is preferred and. by prop
er mating, breed It tip to a high stand

Term “The Public."
Whnt we understand today by the
term “the public ’ did not exist during
antiquity, us it presupposes a great
number of simultaneous renders of one
and the same writings, a condition
that could not be realized before th*
invention of printing. The first book
that may be said to have had a public
In the sense as now understood was
the printed Bibie. The essential in
strument, however, for the formation
of “a public,” journalism, did not ap
pear before the French revolution.
