Unfortunately much Of this
States great corn crop of this
year is frosted and soft and fed
to poultry, especially when fed
to poultry az an exclusive grain
food causes digestive troubles,
loose bowels, blue combs and
many deaths.
A farmer from Monroe county
reports to the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture that he
has had over 10i chickens aud
turkeys die lately from this
cause, and many reports from
all over the State of sick chickens
and turkeys are probably due to
the same cause.
The advice of the Department
IN all cases Is to dry or parch the
corn II there is an old fashion,
ed bake oven on the farm this
can ne done in quantities, II not,
theskitchen range must be used.
Burning the corn or parchlng
1t so hard that it approaches
charcoal Is a waste. Also feed
ing it hot is dangerous. Slightly
warm wlll'not hurt.
Moul6y corn Is never a safe
chicken eed and every effort
should be made at this time to
save enough dry and sound corn
to last to feed the chickens this
next year. If this is not done
and the mouldy corn Is fed ther e
are bound to be a lot Of mysteri--
ous deaths among the chickens
and turkeys all this next year.
