For years past have maintained
what | call my poultry garden, which
Is about three quarters of an acre.
First come sunflowers-six or seven
rows OF mammoth Russians, having
immense heads composed almost en-
tirely of seeds. with only an outer
fringe of petals. During August and
September they ripen. when the heads
are cut off and placed face downward
on wire screen to dry, for IL left on
the stalk sparrows and other birds
strip them. When the heads are dried
sufficiently for seeds to loosen, they
are beaten out, put in small bags and
hung on the clothesline to finish dry
ing, and unless this is thoroughly done
they are liable to mold when put away
A small cupful mixed with every four
quarts of grain, fed at supper time,
helps the birds when melting and
keeps the plumage bright and glossy
through the winter. Next come few
rows of sugar beets and cabbage, both
of which are pulled up and stored in
pit until middle of winter, when the
mems greatly ENJOY a CndHRe OF O1et.
Several rows of celery are sown thinly
foot apart and fed to young ducks
when being fattened for market in
June and July. as the flavor 1t imparts
is the secret of our never having to
look for customers or sell at regular
market prices. One hotel has taken
all we could supply at rs cents pound
for four years.
Rue is given turkeys. though oc-
casionally a teaspoonful of the dried
leaves rubbed to powder is added to
quart of morning mash and fed to
breeding stock in winter, and turkeys
have the same once a week. as main
tain rue is a great help in warding off
bleachhead, liver and intestine trou-
bles, which have caused havoc among
turkeys of late.
Curled upland cress Is a little plant
which should be sown thickly in rows
three inches apart and has a pungent
flavor, like watercress, is one of our
favorite salads, though supposed to be
grown especially for chicks. and, once
sown, continues to yield all summer
IL cut little distance from the ground
when not more than two inches high
and well watered after each cutting.
1t Is excellent for chicks and turkeys,
as its peppery flavor is warming, helps
to stimulate the liver and wards Off
ailments.
