Green Feed for Poultry
At all times of the year an abmul-
ance of green feed is essential to the
health of the poultry .flock. In sum-
mer it may be provided by free range
on the .farin, but in winter it must be
supplied by some form of stored feed.
Roots, cabbage, sprouted oats, and al-
falfa bay are cominonly used for win-
ter feeding. Probably alfalfa is the
most valuable element in the winter
poultry ration, and if the following
precaution is taken in feeding it may
he used in unlimited quantity.
.For „several years it has been the
practice at the Experimentai Station
at Harrow to chop .fine the young, al-
falfa shoots for the baby chicks and
to use .crit alfalfa hay as the sole
means of supplying the necessary
roughage and -greens for 'winter egg
production. A good grade of second
or third coifing hay is nun through a
cutting box in about half-inch lengths,
steeped for twenty-four hours by en-
tirely covering with cold water, strain-
ed, and fed in shallow tubs, for the
best results it is fed immediately after

After a careful survey 101 the seed

that 'because their grain this year is off
