WINTER FEED
FOR POULTRY

(By r. q. wEATHERsToNE)

(By r. q. wEATHERSTONE)
There is a general unanimity Of
opinion among experienced poultry
men that poultry do best upon some
form Of green or succulent food dur
ing the winter months. The function
of such succulent food is probably
largely In the nature Of digestive
stimulant, rather than as an addition
to the actual food constituents Of the
ration.
A green winter feed that is greatly
relished by fowls 10 sprouted oats.
Experience has shown that In order
to make q satisfactory green food,
however, the oats must be grown
very quickly. In order to get quick
growth it is necessary to have three
things: First, warmth: second. plenty
of moisture; and. third. sunlight.
BY sowing oats in shallow. fiat
boxes about two inches deep. and by
sprinkling and keeping the box in a
warm, sunny place. the oats will
sprout very rapidly. making a growth
OF from 4 to 6 inches In a week or
ten days.
The fats In which the oats are
sprouted must be thoroughly scrub
bed with half water and half for
malyn every time before they are
used, or the oats will mold in the
sprouting.
The best way to sprout oats is to
build a small closet into which the
fats can be slipped on cleats and sup.

Rake the sprouts thoroughly two or

wet. They must be sprinkled at least

As the oats grow, the fats are

SILK COMPANY DOES NOT START
Tickets Alert to Head Off Any lncom-

The directors of the Windham Silk Company held their regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening in the com pany's offices at the corner of North and Valley. Wednesday morning, when asked if there was anything of inhpor- tance transacted, officials stated, "Oh, no. only regular routine work"
 The meeting lasted until nearly 10 o'clock, and 1t Is presumed that the strike situation was thoroughly dis cussed.
 There was no change in the strike situation Wednesday, The plant did not start up for business. It is said that there were not enough strike breakers to warrant attempting to start the machinery.
 Supt. Lyman A. Nichols was seen to board Norwich trolley early Wednes- day near Thread Mill square. It Is be- lieved that he went in search of help. Tickets reported seeing MT. Nichols when he boarded the car.
 The strikers had their pickets out all day watching every incoming train and trolley, but no strike breakers put in an appearance. There are no signs of disofder or violence and the strik- CTS are very quiet.
