Necessity of Green Food to Fowls

Ay "a NhCVA EOOu " EO"Ibs
The last requisite in the shape of diet
ISL regular supply Of green food. Here,
again, fowls kept on grass will need no
attention. but for birds penned up, the
daily provision Of 1t is an absolute neces.
sity though most beginners arc ignorant
OF 1t. We we'll remember, in our own
early experience, how our fowls died, we
could not at first tell why; and one fine
buff Cochin cock, whose only fault was a
strong-vulture hook, was, in particular
greatly regretted. An experienced friend
let us into tho secret; and after that we
had no difficulty in keeping fowls, even
where It is often said they cannot be kept
IN health, viz. in a yard paved with
large hag.stones. The best substitute for
natural grass is large fresh turf thrown
in daily to each four or fine hens; and
even in towns it Is often possible to pro.
cure this BY giving children few pence
every week 10 keep up regular supply.
Where turf Is not allowed to be taken,
grass may be cut or pulled; but in this
case must be cut into green chafftwlth
shears or chaff machine. The latter
plan Is how We actually managed for
years in a yard only sixty.seven by thirty.
five feet, divided into six pens; paying
some child few pence TO bring fresh. cut
grass daily, cutting it up and mixing 1t
with their soft meat.-W Wright's Ns,o Serial
