Green Food For the Hens 
( Continued, from page 507) 
use by the poultry are cabbage and 
mangels, the cabbage during the fall and 
the mangels later. One year I found I 
had not planted the mangels early enough 
and it seemed that the crop would be 
small, so I planted a half-acre of turnips. 
These did not prove quite as good but 
were acceptable when the better feed was 
gone. I grow the Purple-Top Globe 
turnip. Prepare the soil early in August 
and sow the seed broadcast. They are 
easy to grow, no work in weeding and 
easy to harvest. Carrots are the poorest 
feed for hens of any of the root crops, if 
my experience is conclusive. The birds 
will eat them if nothing else is available. 
I suppose they are fully as valuable in 
food and medicinal virtue but the hens 
do not like them. 
Bob Veal for Meat Scrap 
Are day-old calves good food for laying hens in place of 
meat scrap, and should they be fed raw or boiled? If 
buttermilk is fed should a part of the meat scrap be taken 
out and how much or should both be fed?— A. C,, New 
York. 
V EAL makes a good and economical 
addition to a poultry ration when it 
is properly fed. It is much more laxative 
when fed raw than is meat from older 
animals. Hence, great care must be used- 
in feeding it. One-half ounce per hen per 
day can be given without any bad results. 
The best way to prepare it for feeding 
raw is to run both the meat and bones 
through a green bone cutter. It must 
always be fed fresh. It is possible to do 
this in cold weather, but in warm weather 
it spoils quickly and becomes poisonous 
and therefore dangerous to feed. 
When cooked it can be kept a number 
of days. Running it through a bone 
cutter before cooking makes all of it 
available as food. When this can not be 
done the meat can be cooked from the 
bones and only this part fed. 
| Cooked Meat Preferable to Raw 
Cooked meat and bone can be fed more 
liberally than the raw product. It may 
be used to substitute all or part of the 
regular amount of meat scrap or nearly 
all the milk. A small amount of milk is 
practical to give with any ration. When 
the meat is fed raw it would replace only 
one-third to one-half of the milk and meat 
scrap. Experiments have shown that hens 
do best when fed the same rations or 
combinations of foods each day, rather 
than making variations in the kinds given. 
It is, therefore, best to arrange a meat 
supply so as to give the same amounts 
each and every day, not alternate days or 
occasionally. While hens like variety, 
unlike people they evidently do not like 
changes. Sudden changes in a ration 
always check growth and production.—

Chick Feeding in Brief 
Will you kindly give me a few brief hints on feeding 
practice? I have plenty of information on what to feed. 
1. Do not overfeed but feed, enough. 
The chicks should always be waiting and 
ready when the next feeding time comes. 
2. Prevent leg weakness in chicks by 
using canned tomatoes daily in a wet 
mash, or cod liver oil warmed as follows: 
2 tsps. daily per 100 chicks, 
1 and 2 weeks. 
3 tsps. daily per 100 chicks, 
3 and 4 weeks. 
4 tsps. daily per 100 chicks, 
after 4 weeks. 
This is mixed daily in wet mash for 100 
chicks. 
3. Feed moist mash sparingly. 
4. If the chicks fill up on dry mash, 
do not exercise, and are not hungry for 
Trade Mark Reg. U. S. Pat. Off. 
Lively Chicks of the 
breeds you want 
Play safe. If you want real money¬ 
making poultry, get our Hollywood White 
Leghorns, Norfolk Spec. Farms Barred 
and Fishel. White Rocks, Martin White 
Wyandottes or Sked Bros. Rhode Island 
Reds. These are the most noted strains 
of these breeds. 
It’s Cheaper to buy Kerr’s Lively Chicks 
of these popular breeds than to hatch 
your own. They arrive when you want 
them, in exactly the number you would 
like to start. No risk; no trouble. We 
, guarantee 100 per cent, delivery — alive 
and healthy.

Contest. Send your name and address
