Winter Conditions Must Be Made
As Near Like Spring and Sum-
msr - Possible-Vslus OF
Sprouted Grains


Many people believe that if they
furnish reasonably comfortable
house, and supply a little corn, or
whatever grain happens to be avail
able, that there is no excuse for
their hens not filling the winter
egg basket.
Spring and summer seasons are
the natural times for hens to lay.
and if they are made to lay through
the winter, conditions must be
made as near like their natural
LAYING season as possible.
Sprouted grains furnish the best
solution. As a protein or egg-pro-
ducing feed, oats rank much higher
than corn and contain more fat
than wheat. Its high proportion
of hull to kernal makes it bulky
and unpalatable. SprOuting over
comes this difficulty. and also fur
nishes the green feed so essential
Oats can be sprouted and fed at
four to six inches high more econ
omically than roots or vegetables
can be produced. The time re
quired for the growth is short, the
amount of succulent material is
large and increased egg production
is invariably the result. One hun
dred pounds of oats can be increas-
ed to $50 to 400 pounds of succulent
feed
1t is an easy matter to construct
a home made sprouter, but unless
warm room is available, and if
many birds are to be fed, it is adj
visable to purchase one of the sew
eral reliable sprouters on the mar

BELGIUM ASKS US.
TO HALT GERMANY
Minister Havenith Communi.
Gates More Information on
DepOrtations.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1s.-Germany's
action In deporting civilians from Del
gium has aroused the Belgian Govern
ment to make an emphatic protest
through the American State Department.
Z. Havenith. the Belgian Minister. has
communicated further Information on
the subject TO Secretary Lansing with
the understanding that 1t will be cabled
to Berlin.
The Belgian Legation made public
tonight this communication which Mr..
Havenith sent 10 Secretary Lansing:
"The German Governor General In
Belgium Is forcing thousands OF Belgian
workTen who are unemployed or with
out work to go TO Germany to work In
the quarries In manufacturing concrete
and in the lime k!lns under pretext that
they are a charge upon public charity.
Tho Belgian Government protests
energetically against this coercive meas
ure. which is contrary to the law OF
nations and the laws OF humanity.
"1'he Government OF the King asks

ment OF the United States to obtain the
cessation Of this deportation OF Belgian

'The Germans claim that these work
men are not employed In war Industries
II should be remarked, however. that
they are employed IN Industries directly
connected with the war and that the em-
ployment OF this Belgian labor releases
great number OF German workmen
who are sent TO the front. Thus these
Belgian workmen are compelled practi-
cally to fight against their own country" ="
Another statement from the Belgian
Legation adds:
THE Belgian Minister calls attention
to tho fact that the Unemployment Of
Belgian wrkmen Is due entirely TO the
action OF the German Government. which
has requ!st!oned all tire supplies Of raw
materials and destroyed the Industrial
plants by removing the machinery.
