MILLET FOR HENS. Millet seed is relished by the hens. ' and unless given too freely is one of | the best egg producers A good way feed it is to throw | the unthreshed straw in the shed and | let the hens scratch for the seed ~hut too much must not be given. Millet is almost as fattening aa corn, but since the seed is #0 small there is less danger from feeding it. If corn is given ® the hens before being shelled, they will work over it, getting .a grain at a time, and so far apart that the danger of over feeding is much less. Cowpeaa are highly relished by bens, but, like millet and corn, must be fed with care. Clover seed is also rich in fat-producing properties, and, with the others, must be fed in small lots, All kinds of sound grain are good for hens—and If we exercise care in feeding we will get good results from them, to HOG NOTES.
