Show J Turnips for Poultry I Turnips may be fed to poultry either raw or in cooked mashes. When fresh and sweet, they appear to be as good raw as are mangels but they do not keep so well and, as soon as they begin be-gin to decay, are likely to give a disagreeable dis-agreeable flavor to the eggs of fowls eating them. The feeding of turnips not perfectly sound is probably respon-I respon-I sible for the general belief that any turnip will taint eggs. Turnips con- tain a large amount of vitamins but they are hard and woody and for that , reason are not quite as good as soma : other root crons. |
