New French Poultry Lettuce
Every poultry raiser should know how eager poultry are to eat lettuce, how they seem to enjoy it, and when opportunity offers, to actually fight for it. The French and Belgians are said to produce the finest flavored poultry grown, and largely attribute their great success to the great quantities of a certain lettuce which they freely feed their fowls. It is a very strong grower; a small plot of ground will yield a prodigious quantity of this lettuce which contains certain valuable properties both medicinal and food which makes it so valuable to the poultry raiser. All kinds of poultry eat it greedily, chickens, ducks, guineas and geese eat it with great avidity. Freely fed in connection with other foods it keeps them in the best physical condition and greatly increases the egg production, as well as imparting a delicious flavor to the fowl when cooked. It is a very cheap food, and very easily grown. We recommend sowing it in rows. When 8 or 10 inches high it is ready to feed. Every poultry raiser, large or small, should if possible produce his own poultry food, and there is no poultry food he can produce as cheaply as growing our New French Poultry Lettuce. Pkt. 5C; oz. 10C; 2 oz. 18C; ¼ lb. 30C; ½ lb. 50C; lb. 85c.
