KITCHEN WASTE SAVES
HENS UPKEEP-GRIND 1T
You can't maintain a backyard flock
on kitchen waste alone-not in these
days of patriotic conservation - but
you can make waste material 60 a
long way in the hen yard. With egg
prices at high tide it will not pay to
skimp in feeding the layers, but US
ing all the kitchen garbage and left
overs available will help reduce the
amount of grain needed.
Scraps Of meat, or leftover vege-
tables which cannot be utilized in
any other way, make excellent chicken
feed. There are also many other
waste products, such as beet tops,
turnip tops, carrot tops, potato peel
ings, onion peelings, watermelon
rinds, the outside leaves of cabbage,
waste lettuce leaves, bread and cake
crumbs and so on, all of which are
relished by the hens. In saving the
scraps from the waste it is we'll to
separate the portions adapted to feed
ing and place these in a receptacle or
pail by themselves. Decomposed waste
material or moldy bread or cake
should never be saved to feed to the
hens, as it is harmful to them. Slop
material such as dishwater should not
be thrown in with the other waste for
the flock. It is also useless to feed
such things as banana peel or the
skins or oranges, as these have little
or no food value. Any sour milk which
is not utilized in the house should be
fed separately, however, either by al
lowing the hens to drink it or by al
lowing it to clabber on the back Of the
stove and then feeding it in that con
dition.
Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat grind
er. After the material has been put
through the grinder it is usually a
rather moist mass, and it is we'll to
mix wit it some corn meal, bran or
other ground grain until the whole
assumes a crumbly condition. The
best method is to feed the table scraps
at noon or night, or at both times, as
may be desired, in a trough or on a
board. All should be fed that the hens
will eat clean.
With the table scraps it is well to
feed some grain. Perhaps this may
best be given as a light feed in the
morning. Four or five handfuls of
grain-about one-half pint-scattered
in the litter will be sufficient for a
flock of 20 to rs hens. By handful is
meant as much as can be grasped in
the hand, not what can be scooped up
in the open hand. By scattering it in
the litter the hens will be compelled to
scratch. in order to find the grain. and
in this way they get exercise which is
decidedly beneficial to them. If the
house is too small to feed in, the grain
can be scattered on the ground out
