VALUE OF CABBAGE AS FOOD
Green food is to fowls what fruit and vegetables are to the human being, correcting and toning the system. Cabbage is particularly valuable because it has a large proportion of nitrogen, hence it balances the carbon of green rations. If you want your fowls to lay in winter, feed them on a .nitrogenous rather than a carbonaceous ration, and one of the vegetables richest in nitrogen is cabbage. When feeding cabbage do not throw on the bottom of the pen or run. It is best suspended from the roof by a piece of string, Just high enough for the birds to reach it. By adopting this method you will be surprised how little will be wasted.
