Winter Green Feed
(E'xperimental Farms Note)
Farmer . poultry flock owners who
utilize home grown feeds to the
fullest possible extent sometimes
find it difficult to. supply enough
green feed to the birds.' Succulents
in the form of turnips may not al-
ways be available .and alfalfa leaf
meal, in small lots, is now practic-
ally .off the market.
To meet this emergency the Dom-
inion Experimental Station at Char-
lottetown, P l., has been gathering
green food from two sources, lawn -
clippings, and aftermath, or second -
cut clover, says B. F. Tinney, Assist-
ant to the Superintendent. While' it
is appreciated that lawn -clippings
are not commonly available in large
quantities on the average farm,
this short -grass material does form
an excellent source of green feed fpr
hens.
As gathered at the Charlottetown
Station lawn clippings are from one
half to one and one half inches long.
They may be collected in a grass
catcher attached to the lawn mower,
cured by. spreading several inches
thick in a Current of air and turned.
onle or twile so that they will dry
quickly: During the drying process
they are not exposed to rain or dew:
When thoroughly dried -they enay be
stored like any other hay crop.
Second -cut elover was harvested
when, coming nicely into bloom and
cured and stored in the same way as
grass clippings. •
'rwo methods of feeding were tried.
The first, the material was fed dry,
hi chicken wire racks attached to
the wall. ` Birds seemed to relish
either one and ate practically every,
particle ekcept, the clover stems.
In the second method the material
was placed in a tub or cask and a
relatively small quantity of scalding
hot'water'was poured over it, the
container being covered immediately
with sacking. Sufficient water was
used so that in a matter of fifteen to
twenty minutes the feed would be
well softened by the steam retained
within the container., The commonly
accepted practice, however; is to
soak the lawn clippings or clover
over night in cold water, •
This feed was then placed in wire
racks or on a clean platform and
was eagerly eaten by the birds.
Production ' was maintained at, a
high level without any other` source
of .green material, and observation
disclosed that " pens receiving . this
material were of better appearennce
and gave, less evidence of feather
pulling.

GREAT-GRANDMOTHER'S QUILT
While I lay ill one winter -time
Over my' blankets another laid
The lovely patchwork counterpane
That may great-grandmamma once
made.
It's made ::of tittle different bits, ;.
All colors and. shaped every way;
Old chits with tiny rosy sprigs,
And lavender and silver grey.
I lay and lay :and looked at, it,
And touched the pretty little scraps
And wondered if greatrguandtnamma,
Had guessed that I should use it
perhaps.
And then I fell' asleep and dreamed
And 'soon 1'was quite well again;
It is .a kind of fairy puilt,
I' think—great-grandma's counter-
pane.

PRAYER FOR A FALLEN AIRMAN
DEAR God; His wings are broken
now, and You
Must find some worthwhile spot to
post him to.
Let him have charge of winds that
like to play
With boys, and kites and northing
gulls' in May—
Gaymewinds' that stir•tine drowsy pines
awake
And trail their playful fingers in
the lake.
So can' I calmly face the breathless
starlit night,
And know that be is. only resting
from .a flight.
