Black, Extension Poultryman, New Jersey State College of Agri- culture.—WNU Service. In recent years the craving of poultry for tender green morsels has not been satisfied mainly be cause poultrymen found it easier to purchase a sack of dried alfalfa meal and incorporate it in their feed mixtures. By so doing, the labor of feeding the flock was re duced and hours of toil in the broil ing sun have been averted. But, have the birds been satisfied with the change in practice? Anyone who has offered green plant food to chickens knows that the offering was eagerly accepted and that it served to awaken new evidences of energy in the flock. Besides promoting activity, green and succulent feed offers natural plant juices that tend to whet ap petites, bulk that aids digestion, minerals and vitamins that may be essential in the proper nutrition of birds. Surely, these are suffi cient reasons for taking pains to provide an adequate supply for both layers and growing birds throughout their lives. Furthermore, poultrymen are agreed that modern commercial practice tends to increase the per centage mortality in adult flocks. Without question, a daily feeding of some green or succulent feed would tend to keep the mortality problem under control. A little planning and some work may be necessary to supply this portion of a poultry flock’s ration, but one season’s endeavor to do so will convince even the most easy-going poultryman that his ef- forts were well expended and re sponsible for reducing losses and increasing profits. Clean Poultry House Now, Avoiding Disease, Vermin Poultry houses require cleaning out thoroughly except in cases where constant cleanliness is main tained. Dirt causes disease and, apparently, creates vermin. The actual process of cleaning is best done on a bright sunshiny day. In addition to removing all the litter and droppings and burning them or storing them in a screened manure shed, the walls and ceil ings should be brushed down and the floor given a thorough sweep ing and washing out. Nests should be removed from the house and old nesting material disposed of with the litter. If a hose is available, the entire interior of the house should be flushed out, making sure that the water gets into all cracks and crevices where dirt or v . i in might be hiding. After this is done, disinfecting should follow. It will also pay to wash the win dows. By doing this work as early in the day as possible, it will give the house a chance to dry out be fore placing fresh nesting material in the nests and fresh litter on the floor and letting the birds back in the house again.
