sUMFL0WER SEEDS AS FEED
Value is Not Fully Appreciated by All
PouItrymer-With Grain Make
Excellent Ration

The fact that sunflower seeds make
good poultry feed is not fully appre-
ciated by all. With any grain they
make a well balanced ration These
flowers grow well upon all irrigated
tracts. The growth is very rapid and
the large broad leaves afford excellent
shade for the young chicks 1t is al
ways a wise policy to plant the seeds
SO that they can be conveniently used.
The falling seeds are thus saved and
the shade afforded is very valuable
Sunfiowers grow and produce the
largest heads whes planted in rows
and cared for like corn 1t is always
advisable to allow the heads to be-
come thoroughly ripe before harvest
ing. Cut as little of the stalk off with
the heads as possible. The heads are
conveniently fed whole. especially
during the winter months. When fed
in this way it will be found that the
leeds are relished by the fowls.
When the poultry is melting there
is no better feed known. Wheat and
m1llet re sometimes fed with the
sunfower feed This makes q ration
very valuable. not only because of
its affording variet.- but because of
the valuable feed constituents that
these grains contain This ration,
with an occasional feed of fresh meat,
Will make the hens lay. Corn should
never be fed more than once a week
for egg production. but it is very val
liable as fat producer

was bitten In the arm. He has near

In Crook county newspapers is as fol-
lows:
oh, yes, I'm getting along all right;
but the snake died as a result of his
lndiscretion. I've ridden the range so
long that no reptile that bites me can
survive.
