THE HENYARD 
Oats for Hens. 
I occasionally see discussed the ques¬ 
tion of feeding oats to fowls. It is cer¬ 
tain that dry oat.s are unpalatable food 
for hens, and a lack of other food is the 
only incentive to their ready consumption. 
It is apparent that tlm sharp points and 
thick hulls of dry oats when in that con¬ 
dition have certain disadvantages—per¬ 
haps danger from apparent causes. A 
lien’s crop packed full of dry oats swells 
tremendously in the crop when brought 
in contact with moisture, causing great 
distension, uneasiness and possible injury 
to the tissues. This difficulty I have 
overcome by easy means as follows: The 
night before feeding I place what is 
desired in a pail or water-tight receptacle, 
pour on them sufficient hot water to cover 
them well—place over the top an old 
gunny sack and by morning all are so 
swollen and softened that they make a 
valuable and palatable food which the 
liens seem to appreciate and put to good 
use. L. B. CROOKKR.

Marking Hatching Eggs. 
What is tlu> best way to mark eggs for 
hatching in order to recognize infertiles 
when returned? N. r. 
New York. 
If you do not wish to depend upon the 
ordinary method of marking with pencil, 
why not have a rubber stamp with some 
small, simple design that would not be 
imitated and mark your eggs with that? 
No one would he apt to go to the trouble 
to have a duplicate stamp made and the 
expense would be small, as such stamps 
are inexpensive. M. b. d. 
A Few Chicken Notes. 
Prof. Mitchell of the New Hampshire 
State College, whom I have quoted be¬ 
fore. is a firm believer in sour milk for 
chickens, both as a food and as a prophy¬ 
lactic. lie asserts that it pays to dip 
the bill of every newly hatched chick into 
sour milk so as to make it take a little 
into the stomach, lie claims that this 
will do more than anything else to cor¬ 
rect or prevent bowel trouble which is 
often so prevalent and so fatal with 
chickens. 
We all have our favorite remedies in 
barn or house. One of mine is tincture 
of iodine, which I buy in quantity and 
keep constantly for use, principally as a 
sterilizer. It is a little severe for a few 
seconds when applied to a fresh cut or 
bruise, but it is effective. When inflam¬ 
mation begins around a scratch or bruise, 
often the beginning of blood poisoning, 
daily painting with iodine is usually ef¬ 
fectual. I have known of the removal of 
shoeboils on horses by persistent painting 
with it. Two years ago a colt in my 
stable produced a bunch on its breast by 
continuous bumping against the crib. I 
applied iodine two or three times a week 
for two months and the bunch disap¬ 
peared. Last Spring a valuable goose 
had a growth on the under lid of one eye, 
the result of an accident, that threatened 
to cover the entire eye. I tried iodine. 
It was rather h.irsh medicine, but it 
worked. The growth entirely disap¬ 
peared. It is possible that faith might 
assist it on my own flesh, but I doubt 
its efficacy in the mind of the goose, al¬ 
though her gooseship has more mind than 
most people give her credit for. When 
one invests in tincture of iodine it should 
be remembered that it is for external use 
only, and should never be taken intern¬ 
ally unless one wishes to take an exceed¬ 
ingly disagreeable route to the great un¬ 
known. 
I suspect that as long as human nature 
remains as it is there will always be 
poultrymen who will wait till the last 
minute before buying breeding stock. A 
breeder not only has more birds in the 
Fall from which to select, but he can 
sell them at a smaller price then than after 
he has fed them all Winter. The wise 
purchaser has the pick of the flock in 
the Fall. The procrastinator takes what 
is left, if he doesn’t discover that he is 
the one who is left. I am writing this 
after personal experience with belated 
purchasers. 
A breeder of blue ribbon geese received 
a letter of inquiry concerning the price of 
eggs. He quoted eggs from his best birds 
at two dollars each. In reply came a pos¬ 
tal card acknowledging the receipt of the 
information and adding: “I had read the 
story of the goose that laid the golden 
eggs, but I didn’t know it was true be¬ 
fore.” 
An amateur poultryman sent to a 
breeder of liigh-record utility birds and 
paid him nine dollars for 30 eggs. In¬ 
cubated under two hens they produced 23 
lively chickens, which was good. As they 
matured they proved to be seven pullets 
and 10 cockerels, which was not so good. 
However, after selecting the best cock¬ 
erel to head an unrelated pen, and eating 
the poorest three, he readily sold the 
other 12 for two and three dollars each. 
He is ready in the future to pay any 
reasonable price for the best he can find.

Can a feed 
be too good ? 
Not for chicks. They must have sweet, sound grains which are 
made easy-to-digest. 
Why not play absolutely safe ? It’s just as easy to get

It contains carefully selected grains —including cut oatmeal, steam-
