Kiln-dried  Hen  Manure 
We  have  several  tons  of  hen  manure 
we  have  been  keeping  in  a  dry  place, 
but  the  manure  is  not  dry  enough  to 
grind.  Would  it  detract  from  the 
Strength  of  the  manure  to  kiln-dry  it? 
We  have  been  thinking  of  making  a  kiln 
and  drying  it,  then  grind  it  and  sow  in 
our  drill  with  our  corn  and  in  tho  Fall 
with  wheat.  What  fertilizer  would  he 
the  best  to  mix  with  it  for  these  crops? 
Our  land  is  a  stiff  clay;  blue  slate  land. 
Timberville,  Va.  j,  e.  r. 
Under  these  circumstances  we  think  it 
would  pay  to  kiln-dry  the  manure.  Some 
ammonia  will  be  lost  in  this  drying  but 
not  as  much,  we  think,  as  where  the 
manure  is  left  in  a  damp  pile.  The  great 
object  of  drying  and  grinding  is  to  have 
the  manure  ns  fine  as  possible.  We  should 
mix  acid  phosphate  with  the  manure — 
about  1>50  pounds  to  each  1000  pounds  of 
dry  manure.

Poisoning  from  Moldy  Oats 
I  was  much  interested  in  the  oat- 
sprmiting  _rac-k  slmwn  in  your  issue  of 
•January  15.  I  have  tried  sprouting  oats 
hut.  notice  that  the  growth  quickly  be¬ 
comes  moldy,  and  have  been  told  that 
moldy  oats  will  cause  a  fatal  disease  in 
fowls.  Just:  after  I  started  feeding  the 
sprouted  oats  one  of  my  pullets  became 
sick.  She  staggers  and  falls  and  cannot 
rise  without  help;  after  several  days  can¬ 
not  stand  at  all ;  eats  little.  wi.ll  not 
drink,  but  head  and  throat  look  perfectly 
healthy.  G.  V.  ‘ 
Moldy  sprouted  oats  upset  the  digestive 
system  very  quickly,  and  this  is  undoubt¬ 
edly  the  trouble  ailing  the  pullet  men¬ 
tioned.  When  placing  the  oats  to  be 
sprouted  in  the  pails  to  soak  for  12  hours 
add  a  few  drops,  not  more  than  eight,  of 
formaldehyde  to  the  water,  this  for  a  12- 
quart  pail.  This  kills  mold  and  avoids 
much  trouble.  I  would  suggest  that  G. 
V.  get  in  touch  with  the  N.  J.  Experi¬ 
ment  Station,  New  Brunswick,  N.  J., 
which  has  literature  on  the  subject,  free

Washing  Eggs. — I  always  wash  my 
eggs  as  the  time  and  labor  brings  me  the 
good  will  and  courtesy  of  my  grocer.  I 
ofi'er  him  clean  eggs  and  lie  takes  pains 
to  deliver  me  clean  groceries.  Nothing 
equals  a  five-cenl  scrubbing  brush  for 
cleansing  the  porous  surface  of  an  egg¬ 
shell.  I.iiy  the  soiled  eggs  in  perfectly 
clean,  hike- warm  water — preferably 
drinking  water.  After  brushing  off  ail 
stains,  lay  them  in  a  colander  to  drain 
dry  or  use  a  dish  towel.  (If  course,  when 
my  grocer  tells  mo  that  liis  wife  always 
uses  my  eggs,  so  she  can  put  the  shells 
in  coffee,  T  am  complimented.  One  of 
my  acquaintance#  washes  her  eggs  in  her 
dish  washer,  bill  I  do  not  find  this  satis¬ 
factory,  and  it  stirs  the  contents  uuuee- 
essanly.  The  egg  jobber  or  middleman 
receives  more  for  “cleans”  than  “dirties,*' 
therefore  he  pays  my  grocer  more  for  the 
ronner.  a  a  o
