WINTER CARE OF POULTRY

AS was driving along the ridge
road to Schleswig recently l noticed
several very good fields Of alfalfa and
clover. On one farm my attention
was attracted to beautiful flock of
chickens. l had been thinking con-
siderable of the fields of alfalf ia and
clover and, as noticed the chickens,
there seemed to be sort of a connec-
tion between the alfalfa and the chick
ems. This thought came to me: Do
these farmers feed the chickens alfal-
ia or clover during the winter? !
know many farmers feed it with good
results, and l know it makes a good
winter feed. I well remember the
first time I fed alfalfa hay to my
chickens. l bought two bales of alfal-
ia hay in the fall and stored them for
future use I made few racks out OF
woven wire and placed them where
the chickens could get to them. | was
greatly surprised at the amount OF
this hay they would eat. / also chop
ped up some of the hay and mixed 1t
with a hot bran mash and a little
cracked corn, which l fed cold winter
mornings. They certainly went to it
like "a lean sow to slop. Speaking OF
slop, reminds me that it is not advis-
able to be too generous with the water
when mixing the mash. 1t is a good
plan to mix the mash in candy buck
ct, pour boiling water over it and then
cover the bucket with blanket, or
something else equally as good, and
let the mash steam awhile. This same
mixture is relished by the horses. !
found that this warm mash with plen-
ty of good clean, warm water for a
morning feed. on frosty morning,
stimulates the egg laying. kale is
also an extra good feed for the chick
ems Hang stalk on the side of the
poultry house, where the poultry can
reach it, and they will do the rest. II
a farmer has surplus Of beets, cab
bage or turnips, store them for green
feed for the winter. They will never
regret 1t.
Eggs have been bringing a good
price. and they will continue to do so.
There is but little profit in feeding
chickens through the winter months,
and not have more than enough eggs
for your own use. Make money max
ing machines out of the star boarders
It is up to the man who owns the
chickens 70 do it.
Skim milk and butter milk are great
for the chickens, either winter or sum
mer. A hen seems to need variety
of food more than most animals.
