sPRoUTED OATS FOR WINTER
Excellent Feed for Chickens ourino
Cold Weather-Traps May Be
Placed Near stove.

Sprouted oats have proved IN excel.
lent feed for chickens during winter
months. The oats may be sprouted in
q regular sprouter, in trays by the
kitchen stove, in the cellar, on dirt OF
on burlap.
The trick is to soak the oats with
water. spread them out in the light
and keep them warm and moist until
the blades are from three to six incher
long.
A successful feeder soaks the oats
for "a hours, spreads them in a shall.
low box and place 1t in the cellar.
Frequently an inch or more of sand
is placed In the bottom Of the box up.
on which the oats ore spread.
