EXCELLENT FOWL FUOD.
Examination Shows Water HyaeInths
To Be Alive With Shrimp.

Walaka, Flat is found upon
close examination that the long black
rootlets Of the water hyacinth rs alive
with various sized shrimp from the
tiny one just from the egg TO the full
grown one In there In hiding.
Fowls al once eat the leaves and
only after grain, like oats or wheat,
has been scattered on the roots do
they begin 10 find and scratch out the
young shrimp. From then on they
seem more fond OF catching them
than eating the grain thrown out.
The hyacinths are EARLY gathered by
all near the ST. Johns and Ocklawaha
rivers and that grain Is so very high
and the food they provide so complete
that no doubt Uncle Sam will provide
shelter for numerous beds OF them
along the rivers that they may not
become extinct by extreme cold In
winter.
