Alfalfa for Fowls

chopped fine for feeding the poultry.
It can be even steamed and mixed
with a soft mash to be given once a

now being extensively fed. Some com

very fine meal of It, which is selllng
at about the same price as bran. II

difficulty of breeding 1t in confinement
Is very great unless the males are
kept separate. The males will fight
each other to the death. 1t is thus
necessary that each male have sep
