FEED
FOR ALL POULTRY
Sprouted Oats Is One Of Best
Things That Can Be Given
to Little Ones.

Oats Is one OF the best feeds one
can give chicks for growth, but II is
hard TO get in suitable form for feed
ing to poultry. One OF the best meth
ods is to sprout II. A pail OF oats Is
covered with water and allowed to
soak about twelve bours. In winter
we use water which is heated and just
cool enough that you can bear your
hand in It, In summer, cold water.
After soaking, the oats are poured
out into trays two feet wide and three
feet long and two inches deep. The
bottoms OF these trays are made OF
galvanized one-fourth inch mesh wire
screen. We start bucketful OF the
oats every day. piling the trays on top
OF each other until We have four or
Ave.
Meanwhile we must thoroughly stir
the oats in each tray every day and
wet with water. The oats will. no
doubt, heat some and this makes them
sprout fast. but II they have a ten.
dency to get too hot, cold water could
be used to keep them cool. BY the
fourth or ffth day the sprouts are
perhaps one-half to one inch long.
For summer feeding. when the stock
ean get plenty Of grass, they will eat
The oats readily at this stage and II
10 As good a growing feed as can be
obtained. The sprouts are very good
for early chicks that can get no grass,
For winter feeding to the poultry. II
Is often advisable to let the oats grow
more and turn green. Then you will
have to let II grow q few days longer,
and II you can get suitable rack to
hold the trays several inches apart II
will be very convenient. BY starting
one tray each day and feeding the far
therest developed each day continu-
ous supply may be had. This feed
Vas been advertised extensively as a
secret and the books explaining this
method have sold extensively at from
81 to IS each.
In feeding 70. growth and early
development remember that the best
feeds are cheapest, and that plenty
OF clean feed OF such variety to pro-
duce a balanced ration and plenty OF
pure water will make you more profit
than II the birds are scantily fed and
allowed to stay In filthy quarters and
DC stored By lice.
