Beans For Poultry.

1t is an accepted fact throughout
many sections of the country that
poultry will not eat beans. Many of
the New York farmers state that it Is
utterly useless to try to teach poultry
to eat beans of any kind unless they
are broken into small pieces or cooked,
as is often done for the hogs. Nothing
could be better for poultry than beans
If they can be induced to eat them. We
are somewhat surprised, says the
Feather, to notice that a western writ
er states that poultry in his locality
is largely fed upon dry beans.
