Alfalfa For Poultry. .the teen state has long in th g been recognized as an ideal poultry feed when used in conljun'ction :with the usual grains and marshes.

Ex- periments have shown that 20 per cent better fertility and 6.4 per cent better hatchability of fertile eggs can be obtained from birds where al- falfa hay instead of straw is used as litter in the breeding pens. 'The :al- falfa should be used as litter during the winter months preceding the breeding season and the same treat- ment given toorales and females; Ontario Farmers Advised to See Own Stock Sold.
