RAISE CHICKENS m COLUMBUS
AND FEED spROUTED OATS

During the winter months Il isl
often difficult 10 obtain green food
for the laying hens. This difficulty
can always be easily and probably
met by the use Of sprouied oats. Al
though there has been some contro-
versy as TO whether The sprouts
should be one-fourth Of an inch long
or longer, that question is imma-
terial when the main fact Is that
either the long or the short sprouts
will give good results.
The method Of s%prouting oats IS
not complicated. A tier OF trays
about two inches deep and with an
area Of one square inch for each
hen 10 be supplied each day should
be provided. These trays should
have a perforated tin or wire cloth
bottom 10 allow the surplus water
10 drain on the oats. One square
inch Of tray space per hen Is sug-
gcsted. because the trays should be
filled about one inch deep with oats
which have been soaked for twenty
four hours in a bucket or can, and
each hen should have al least ono
cubic inch Of sprouts each day.
Then for a flock Of fifty hens. a tray
1--WE by ten inches will do for each
day. more would be better but this
much will do. Seven trays should
be provided II the temperature OF
the room where the oat sprouter Is
located docs not drop below 90 de-
grees. The process Is then simple.
Each day put enough oats TO soak
10 an n tray. Each day n tray
will he cmpiied and fed TO the hens.
Feed the tray that Il on the bottom
shelf each day and move all tho
trays down one notch. This will
leave the top notch for the newly
filled tray. The oats in the trays
should be sprinkled with warm
water nj least once each day. and
in some cases twice. II mold should
occur In the sprouting trays. a little
formalin, or formaldehyde, should
he used in tho water TO scrub out the
trays each day before putting tho
soaked oats in 10 sprout. Care must
be taken 10 sec that the oats do moi
become too wet in the trays. II
plenty Of drainage holes are provid-
ed. this should not occur. 10 secure
hest results. the sprouted frame
should be placed near a window
where all the sunshine available may
be secured. The sprouted oats mas
70 fed nj any time during the day.
