THE HENYARD 
Trouble with Oat Sprouts 
I have an oat sprouter that I marie my¬ 
self that is giving at times trouble from 
moldy oats. It is heated bv gas, but is 
out in the unheated feed room, and the 
temperature will vary from 40 to SO de¬ 
grees, depending ou the outdoor condition. 
What is the proper degree For the heater? 
What disinfectant could I use to kill the 
mold without injury to the hens? 
New York. E. M. F. 
Your trouble, no doubt, comes from too 
much heat and contaminated wooden 
trays. This can be overcome to some ex¬ 
tent by adding about a teaspoonful of 
formalin to a pail of water in which the 
oats are soaked before sprouting. We 
prefee sprouting oats in tubs, but have 
bad the same trouble when the weather 
gets too warm and the tubs become soaked 
and sour. Wo like a temperature of 50 
to GO degrees for sprouting in tubs, and 
usually have trouble when the tempera¬ 
ture runs up to 70 degrees or more. Of 
course, in au oat sprouter, where the 
vapor from warm water is used to keep 
the oats moist, the temperature should 
run from 70 to 85 degrees, and it is a 
great help to have metal trays which are 
kept clean aud disinfected after every lot.

The Plow for 
Irregular Fields 
For good work on either hillsides or level land, for plowing out the 
nooks and corners of irregular fields, around stones and other obstruc¬ 
tions, or up close to fences, thousands of Eastern farmers are using the 
Farm implements 
are your cheapest 
investment. The 
University of Mis¬ 
souri found the im¬ 
plement cost of pro¬ 
ducing a crop of corn 
last year to be only 
one-ninth the total 
production cost per 
acre. Based on this 
year's prices, the 
cost will be only 
one-thirteenth. 
“MY brothers were fine up¬ 
standing youngsters. As for 
me—I was badly sweenied 
and nobody gave a hook- 
joint whether I became a 
plough-horse or a saw-horse. 
I WAS swapped around ’till 
finally I got a regular boss 
who said, ‘Sound as a nut, 
except that blamed sweeny. 
We’ll soon get rid of that.’ 
And he did with Gombault’s 
Caustic Balsam”. 
GOMBAULT’S CAUSTIC BALSAM 
does the work better than 
firing. Hair will positively 
grow back natural color. 
A positive remedy for Curb, Splint, 
Sweeny, Cupped Hock, Strained

Practically Self - Oper¬ 
ating. The patented Auto 
Tailless Rooster 
Did you over hear of a rooster without 
any tail, or any tailpiece on bis body at 
all? The long, silky feathers that go 
down each side of the fail go straight 
down, and hang almost, to the ground. 
Tie is an S. O. W. L. Is he a freak? Do 
you think he is worth anything. What 
-hould I do to gel. tlie most out of him? 
o. F. G. 
We have never seen sueh a bird, hut. 
no doubt, this has happened before. Pos¬ 
sibly someone might like to try to produce 
a “tailless” breed as a novelty, though we 
can see little value iu sueh work. 
■lorm OEFRI 
Cure for Chicken Cholera 
C. .T. 8., of Essex, Conn., describes iu 
December Ml issue losing her chickens 
with what she thought might be cholera. 
Following is a recipe we have used for 
over MO years: Wlieu we would see sick 
hens, would give it, and we would likely 
lose two or three that were sick, but no 
move at that time. We have hot had 
cholera among our fowls for some time. 
Chicken Cholera Remedy,—Equal parts 
of pulverized copperas, alum, resin, char¬ 
coal. and cayenne pepper: mix well. Give 
two tablespoon fills to 20 fowls. We 
gave it iu a wet mash for two or three 
mornings, then quit for the same length 
of time, when we would repeat it. We 
never had to repeat it more than two or 
three times. F. w. o. 
Virginia. 
This is very similar to the “cholera 
cures” that are so much advertised, and 
probably equal to any of them. It is 
not. of course, a cure for cholera in 
fowls any more than a remedy for tick¬ 
ling in the throat is- a cure for consump¬ 
tion. but it is composed chiefly of two 
astringents which might check simple diar- 
rliu-a. Copperas is sulphate of iron, and 
alum is a salt of aluminum and potash. 
Roth are astringent, harmless if not taken 
in too great a quantity, and, as said, 
inight cheek simple diarrhoea. Diarrhma 
is not cholera, and simple colds are not 
roup; hut that does not prevent remedies 
for these conditions being called cholera 
and roup cures by those who do not real¬ 
ize the difference between the diseases or 
by those who wish to sell some medicinal 
preparation for poultry. m. b. d.
