GREEN FEED IS ESSENTIAL FOR CHICKENS

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Chickens confined to small yards should always be supplied with green feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats, alfalfa, or clover, but the best P ,ace to raise chickens successfully is on a good range where no extra green feed ia required. Where the chicken? are kept in small bare yards fine charcoal, grit, and oyster shell should be kept before the chickens all of the time and cracked or ground bone may be fed. The bone is not necessary for chickens that have a good range. \ . ■ . >
