Roots and Ensilage for Poultry.

|3y Nkmo.| If roots and ensilage improve the health of animals, and cheapen the cosi of food, they will also, we are told, tic the same for fowls. It is too expensive to feed grain exclusively, when the winters are long, and as tbe beus prefor a variety, they should have it. It is mixed food -the combination of various elements— that enables tbe bon to proVide the different substances that wake np an egg. Lime, phosphorus, nitrogen, magneßia, and water are absolutely essential, and mauy foods contain an excess of some kinds and a deficiency of others. When a mixed food is giveß there is to some extend a balancing of the needful elements, and the several rarieties assint in digesting each other, thereby avoiding waste and undigested food. Finely chopped ensilage er clover, potatoes, tnrnips, carrots, or any auccnlent bulky food, served with an admixture of a variety of ground grain, will provide the hens with a larger supply of •gg constituents, and entail less cost for food than when the hens are compelled to subsist entirely on grain.
