Sunflower Culture.
The sunflower is the best eggproducing food known for poultry, keeping them in thriving condition and largely increasing the production of the eggs. Every poultry raiser who tries it will find that this is the best food known for glossing the plumage of fowls, and is almost indispensable for those who want to fit their birds for exhibition to the best advantage. The Russian sunflower is easily raised, requiring very little cave, and can be grown in fence corners and other places difficult to cultivate. Its production of seed is immense, yielding often at the rate, of 100 bushels to the acre. It should be planted in hills four feet apart. Three quarts of seed will plant an acre.
