SUNFLOWER SEEDS AS FEED
Value Is Not Fully Appreciated by All
Poultrymen?With Grain Make
Excellent Ration.
The fact that sunflower seod? make
good poultry feed is ?ot fully appre
ciated by all. With any grain they
make a well balanced ration These
llowers grow well upon all Irrigated
tracts. The growth is very rapid and
the large broad leaves afford excellent
shade for the young chicks. It 1b al
ways a wise policy to plant the Beeds
so that they can be conveniently used.
The falling seeds are thus Baved and
the shade afforded is very valuable.
Sunflowers grow and produce the
largest heads whev planted In rows
and cared for like corn. It Is always
advisable to allow tho beads to be
come thoroughly ripe before harvest
ing. Cut as little of the stalk off with
the heads us possible. The heads are
conveniently fed whole, especially
during the winter months. When fed
in this way it will bo found that the
i.eeds are relished by the fowls.
When the poultry lb molting there
1b no better feed known. Wheat and
millet .re sometimes fed with the
sunflower feed. This makes a ration
very valuable, not only because of
Its affording a variety but because of
the valuable feed constituents that
these grains contain. This ration,
With an occasional feed of fresh meat,
will make the hens lay. Corn should
never be fed more than once a week
fo." egg production, but it Is very val
uable as a fat producer.
EXCELLENT BREEDS FOR EGGS
Leghorns, Minore
HoudanB and Ham
Profitable on
as, Andalusians,
burgs Will Prove
Any Farm.
If eggs alone are wanted, it will be
best to keep only non-sitting breeds,
of which Leghorns, Mlnorcas, Andalu
sians, Houdans, or Hamburgs will do
well on the farm. If necessary, the
eggs may be hatched In Incubators,
which, In careful hands, now do good
work; or a few may also be kept of I
some sitting breed. Pure bred fowls,
useless for showing, can usually be
obtained at a low price; and after all
is said against "fancy'' birds, as a
rule they will pay better, selected
with Intelligence, than average farm
mongrels. Hut any decently fine farm
stock can be greatly Improved by
White Leghorn Hen.
purchasing every year merely one or
two young cocks of the breed select
ed. Thus, If the cocks are Mlnorcas.
the farm stock will gradually be con
verted Into hardy black fowls which
seldom or never sit, near the Minorca
type- while If Dorkings be used, there
will Kaan be a fine race of table
fowls. Often, when there is any one
on the farm who cares about It. It
will bo best to make up every year a
special breeding lot of fine birds. No
farmer would expect to make his oth
er live stock pay unless he saw to
such things; and he cannot expect
fowls to pay either, unless he will
give the same ordinary thought and
care to them.
Whey seems like pretty thin diet,
but it is really better than nothing
In the line of milk.
The harder the hens dig, the less
you will hnve to dig.
A weak chick never makes a profit
able hen.
When your birds get big enough for
the market, let them go. That ends
the worry about hawks, crows and
diseases. <
Share the fresh lettuce with your'
birds. Good plan to sow some Just j
for tho poultry.
The hen that does the best with the
least labor on your part, is the one
you are after.
Some folks have their house* so
that they can open them up all
around the foundation walls when it
is hot and let the air circulate every
where.
Provide clean quarters, pyre water
and wholesome food for the chicks,
and disease among them will be a
thing unknown.
It is not wise to change breeds
every spring. All the stnndnrd breeds
are good. Make the one you already
have do its best.
It Is a mistake to wash eggs or to
mako them clean. It Is better to
have tho nests clean so that the eggs
need not k?i dirty.
Call out the poor layers ano give
the prolific hen more room to work.
. Ducks should have a plentiful sup
ply of sh'aip grit.
