their succulence and bulk, which
lighten the grain rations and assist In
keeping the birds In good condition
The poultryoian should secure a suf
ficient suppty of auch feeds to last
through th winter months In sections
where growing greea feeds cannot be
obtained. When chickens are fattened
without the use of milk, green feed
helps to keep them In good condition.
Cabbages, mangel wunela, clover,
alfalfa, and .sprouted oats are the green
feeds commonly uavd during the win
ter. Cabbages do not keep as well in
ordinary cellars as mangel wuraels, so
where both of these feeds are avail
able the cabbages are fed first. They
are often suspeaded. while the mangel
wurzels are spilt and stuck on a nail
on the wall of tlm pen. Clover and
alfalfa may be fed as hay. cut Into
one-half to one-Inch lengths, or may be
bought in the form of meal. Alfalfa
meal has a feeding analysis equal to
bran, but Is not as digestible on ac
count of its larger percentage of fiber.
Clover and alfalfa should be ciut while
slightly immature If they are to be
cured and fed to poultry. The leaves
and chaff from such hay are especially
adapted for poultry feeding.

DRIED FRUIT.
I'nless dried food Is prepared In a
palatable fashion, famlHes will tire of
it and it will be wasted. This will react
unfavorably on the gardens for next
year and on the drying campaign.
i lie main difference between drieo
and fresh foods lies in the proportion
of water thay contain. Therefore the
first step In preparation is to put back
water about equal in amount to that
lost during drying.
one reason why dried foods have been
unpopular Is that they so often have
been undersoaked and overcooked.
When the time of soaking Is long and
that of cooking short, the flavor will
be more like that of fresh food.
Shape and texture must be consld

lorsaer the time required for drying, and
henVe the longer the period of soaking
required. After washing, such foods
shoufid he put into three or four times
their bulk of water and left covered
in a tool place from three to 48 hours,
according to their substance. Should
any indication of fermentation appear,
they niist be scalded at once. Other
