SUNFLOWERS FOR WINTER 
EGGS 
f T , HE most successful year we ever had 
A with old hens was when we had over 
an acre of land planted with sunflowers 
between hills or in the drills with other 
crops, to the detriment of none of them. 
We had enough sunflower heads to feed 
the hens and chickens two bushels a 
day for six weeks, during September and 
October. Young stock are not so fond 
of them as hens, who eat them voraciously. 
I had read that sunflowers contain 
more feather-making material than any¬ 
thing else and I have reason to believe 
this for the old hens were all feathered out, 
Merit Brought Their Fame 
To be “Quality” a chick must come from breeding flocks time to breed, 
known heavy layers, and kept unrestricted in surroundings that promote 
constitutional vigor. , 
To “Omlitv” a chick must receive the benefit of skillful, experienced 
hatching tS coupled with the chick’s own inherent vitality, leads to ch.cks that live, grow lay and pay 
Our^hicks are from HiUpot Record Layers. They get life through HiUpot Standardized 
Methods of Hatching. Hence they are—HiUpot QUALI7 7 Chicks.

had red combs and began to lay the first 
part of November, outlaying the early 
pullets. The latter also grew their last 
feathers very quickly. 
The sunflower field joined the hen 
yards and the heads were picked in two 
large pails and tossed over the fence. 
We have plenty of fertilizer, which is 
necessary to do this. We apply the 
barnyard manure before plowing, the 
litter from hen-houses before harrowing 
and put clear hen manure in the drills 
before planting. To get large sunflowers, 
they must have a great amount of suste¬ 
nance. 
Another way to feather out hens 
quickly is to feed all the green-cut 
bone they will eat. Our method this 
winter has been to put about 30 pounds 
of butcher’s waste in a washboiler in the 
forenoon, together with two pails of 
barley (on top) and yi cup of salt. This 
cooks until we go to bed and is warm in 
the morning for their breakfast. This 
quantity is enough for 450 birds and 
makes over five pails of feed. There is 
always some corn left in the litter for the 
birds to scratch for. Some kind of green 
feed is fed at 11 A.M.—Addie Graves.
