WINTER RATIONS
FOR LAYING HENS

We store everything in the line Of
green stuff and vegetables that we can
get hold Of to feed to the hens during
the Winter-pumpkins, beets of any
kind, carrots, turnips and cabbage,
writes correspondent of the Nation
al StOckman.
a good way to feed the large beets
and mangels is to lay them on heavy
plank and drive a spike through the
vegetable and far enough into the
plank so it will hold the beet in place
SO the hens can pick at it, as in this
way it can be kept clean. 1 have heard
people say that hens would not eat
turnips. This is because the turnips
are so tough, but if they are chopped
rather fine the hens will eat them
greedily. This plan can be followed
when feeding any kind Of vegetables
the fowls are slow to take hold of, in
cluding apple and potato parings. that
are to be fed raw. We cut the pump
kins in halves for the hens, and in a
short time there is nothing left but the
rinds. We do not allow the hens to
eat frozen vegetables.
A warm mash once a day, made by
cooking any of the above mentioned
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1915-12-23

vegetables until soft. with a little meat
scrap and salt and pepper added and
stiffening the whole with bran until
not a bit wet or sloppy, is a great in
ducement for the hens to lay. A few
oats may be cooked with the vegeta-
bles, and they make fine feed. Feed
the mash in clean troughs.
Wheat is one of the best of rations
for the laying hen. Clover hay or sift-
ings are not exactly green food. but
are nitrogenous food and about as
near a green food as We can get late
in winter. Steam or scald the leaves
or siftings or run some Of the hay
through feed cutter and then steam
it. A good way to feed the clover
leaves, etc., is to place them in a
bucket, add some boiling water and
cover very snugly to keep the steam
in. After it has stood for half an hour
thicken with wheat bran and feed
warm. Use hot water to make the de-
sired wetting for the mash. mixed stiff
and dry.
, When we do not have time to prepare
the mash we gather basketful Of clo-
yer leaves and scatter them in the
feed troughs or in clean litter in the
scratching room. The hens will eat
the most Of them and sing happily as
they work.

Curtain Front Henhouses.

One of the most important advan-
tages Of the curtain front house is that
there is perfect ventilation all the time
During stormy and windy weather
when the curtains are down the air cir
culates through the cloth. and when
the weather is fair the curtains are
raised. In either case the dampness is
drawn out in the steady current of dry
air passing in and out. And when the
front is open the sun has good chance
to shine in, which is of great benefit to
the fowls, especially in cold weather.
What glass is used in the windows
should be frequently cleaned, as the
dust, if allowed to remain. will make
ahe room dark and gloomy.
