TURN ALFALFA INTO EGGS.
/ do not find much written about
alfalfa in any of the poultry jour-
mails, says writer in Modern Farm
ing, and yet I have demonstrated to
my satisfaction during the past year
that it excels clover both as green
food for growing chicks and a WIN
ter relish for adult fowls.
We have field of ten acres sown
to alfalfa stretching just below the
colony coops and pens where | raise
my chicks.
Last summer noticed that as soon,
as l gave the chicks free range they
would seek this field and spend hours
in the growing alfalfa, particularly
when it blossomed ready for cutting
BY close observation I found that
they ate the tender tops and purple
buds ravenously and certainly seemed
to thrive on the food. &
/ tried sowing some seed in my
nursery pen and it was wonderful to
see how the chicks enjoyed it-wee,
fluffy fellows just from the incubator.
This set me to thinking.
When winter came I housed 100
pllre Buff Cochin pullets in a fairly
roomy and comfortable house.
Tho large hay barn was stored to
the roof win alfalfa and millet hay.
From the former the leaves and dried
blossoms, still green in hue, fell In
masses of fine fragrant litter, useless
to the cattle and horses. which ate
only the bulkier stems.
All winter long / used this alfalfa
chaff for liter in my houses bed

The hens scratched in 1T for their
grain and ate every available bit they
could pick up BY night the floor
would be bare and fresh supply was
thrown in ready for the morning
meal.

TEST OK FERTILITY OF EGGS.

The third or fourth egg laid after
being mated will usually prove fer
tile. The whole clutch of eggs are
not fertilized at one service OF the
male, but usually several eggs are.
Recent experiments have shown that
in case where the male had been
removed from the pen four eggs
Matched and five more had germs.
Other tests do not show so large a
number, but the superstition is that
the male will fertilize two or three
eggs at service.-From the Farm.
