A MOULTING HINT.
It will help the fowls to get through the moult if cabbage leaves are boiled and the water used for the mixing of thp bran and pollard mash. Cabbago contain sulphur in addition to vegetable salts of a cooling naturo. If a pinch or two of carbonate of soda is added to the water while, it is boiling the medicinal properties of the cabbage leaves will be moro quickly extracted. If this were done two or three times a week the moulting job would materially bo assisted. The hot water should be poured on the bran and pollard and mixed in, and the mash allowed to cool off before being fed. The scalding will increase the attractiveness and palaiability of . the mash, which is all to the good, because moulting fowls sometimes don't eat much.
