Show Saving Green Food. When the green food is scarce or difficult to obtain it pays to plan some way to prevent its being wasted. Cut two pieces for the ends of a box, each 24 inches long, getting proper curve by using a compass. Make the back of the holder of thin boards four feet long and 24 inches wide, and nail one end in place, hinging the other end and using small straps of leather to hold It shut. Cover the holder with coarse mesh wire netting and hang It in a convenient place high enough so that the fowls cannot roost on it, yet so that they can feed from It readily. Use hangers of wood, tin or leather. This box will enable the fowls to pick at the green stuff, whether it is clover, grass or chopped cabbage, without danger of the mass becoming soiled or destroyed by the chickens scratching in It. |
