EXCELLENT FEED FOR HENS

Turnips Nailed to Board With Cut Side Up Affords Fowls Green Truck Needed in Winter.

Turnips make an excellent green food for laying hens during winter. The best way to feed them is to cut

them in halves, nail them on a board with cut side up, and place where the hens can have free access. Turnips take the place of grass and other greens which cannot be had in winter. The object in cutting and feeding in this way is to prevent the hens from scratching them through dirt and litter. Potatoes and apples can also be fed in the same manner.
