Brewers’ Grains for Poultry and Pigs 
Have you had any experience in feed¬ 
ing wet brewers’ grain, better known as 
malt, to ducks, chickens, and pigs? If «o 
will you give me the results of same, with 
the amounts that can safely be given to 
each. I should like to substitute this for 
bran and flour if it be practical. 
I’ennsylvania. w. J. s. 
While I have not had personal experi¬ 
ence in feeding wet brewers’ grains to 
classes of animals you mention, I know 
they are sometimes fed to hogs. When so 
used a carbohydrate feed such as coru 
meal should be mixed with them. They 
may be fed to poultry with good results 
if not used as sole feed. The price must 
he taken into consideration; unless one 
lives handy to the brewery, it does not 
usually pay to use this feed, which runs 
75 per cent, water. n. F- J-

Trouble With Laying Pullets 
I have two pens of April-hatched K, I. 
Red pullets, 100 in each iien. The pens 
are 20 feet square, open front, clean, new, 
sunny and dry, I have been feeding dry 
mash composed of 200 lbs. bran ; 100 Ihs. 
middlings; 100 lbs. corn meal; lOO Ih.s. 
gluten ; 100 lbs. meat scraps; 25 lbs. fine 
charcoal; .3 lbs- table salt. This is before 
them all the time. For wliole grain I 
feed scratch feed 4 (piarts to 100 twice 
a day, about % bushel mangel beets jicr 
day for green stuff, or what they will eat 
ui)' clean. The water is clean and pure, 
about eight inches litter on the floor. All 
went well until November 27, was getting 
about 70 eggs per day, theu they knocked 
off eating, only eating about one-fourth the 
usual amount since. They have practi¬ 
cally stopped laying; in three days three 
h.ave died and sevoraFinore look sick and 
have been removed. ’They dump around, 
comb and wattles turn dark, and die in 
about 24 hours. Since this trouble has 
started we have examined everything and 
we find the wheat in the scratch feed is 
dark and sour, F. K. C. 
Maine. 
I cannot make a positive diagnosis 
from your description, but suspect that 
the trouble is at least indirectly due to 
heavy feeding and close confinement- All 
f(K)d 'should be inspected for evidence of 
mustinoss or deca.v. the meat scrap being 
particularly looked after. You are feed¬ 
ing rather lightly of whole grain and it is 
possible that the pullets are gorging them¬ 
selves with mash and getting little or no 
exercise. Mash hoppers may be kept 
closed during the forenoon if the birds 
spend too much time at them and too lit¬ 
tle in hunting for grain in the litter. Ite- 
move any pullets that show signs of in¬ 
disposition and give each bird a good 
physic, such as a teaspoonfnl of castor 
oil or of Epsom salts dissolved in a little 
water. Then feed lightly and induce ex¬ 
orcise by compelling them to scratch in 
' deep litter for their food. M. B. D.

Noodled Geese

UnOICeUOCKereiS Anconas, and R. C. R. I. Reds 
Homer Biceous. C. J. ishelmidine, Lorraine. N, V. 
Can you tell me how to feed noodled 
geese? c. J. ii. 
Noodle is the name, of more or less 
local use. I think, given to a cooked food 
for fattening geese- The only recipe I 
have ever seen is; Cornineal, two parts ; 
ground wheat and sifted ground oats,^ one 
part; with enough red dog or other cheap 
flour to make a stiff batter when mixed 
with water. When thoroughly mixed the 
dough is put through a sausage_ stuffer. 
The roll of dough, one inch in diameter, 
is cut into two-inch lengths, rolled in flour 
and boiled like dumplings. When cooked 
they rise to the top of the_ boiling water. 
They are then removed, dipped in cold 
water to prevent sticking, it is said, and 
fed to the geese while warm. The geese 
should be put into the feeding p''ii about 
three weeks before they are to he killed. 
The pen should he small enough to pre¬ 
vent extoiuh'd exorcise. Some of the 
reputed cruel methods of Europe in con¬ 
fining the geese are not at all necessary. 
A supply of fresh water should he acces¬ 
sible at all times. The warm noodles 
should be fed at regular intei-vaks and as 
often as five times a day. The goose 
should be held between the knees and the 
noodles gently forced down the throat. 
From two to five noodles at a feed are 
the usual amount, depending iipou the 
size of the goose and other thing.s. If 
there is any food left in the crop from 
the last feeding no more should he given. 
These are the bare outlines of the 
process. No set rule can be given for all 
the things to be done. Feeders of niauy 
years’ '-exijerieuce declare that conditions 
vary with the season, weather, age of the 
goose and other less tangible things. Only 
experience can tell one just what to do. 
The greatest of care must be exercised at 
all times. If the birds are uot fed enough 
of course they will not fatten rapidly 
enough- If fed too much they may be¬ 
come ill and die. If frightened or ex¬ 
cited in any way they will stop increas¬ 
ing and may decrease in weight. Just 
when they are “finished” can be learned 
only by experience. This high feeding, 
with little exercise, develops large livers, 
a highly prized delicacy in some markets, 
as well* as much fat and tender meat.

back of these classified advertisements with our 
"Siiiiare Deal Guarantee,” as we do the displ.ay 
advertisements. Those purcliasing eggs for 
hatching and baby chicks must understand that 
the.v are assuming some risk when ordering from 
a distance. For the most part eggs and chicks 
carry safely, bn. sometimes rough handling by 
the express companies or exposure to heat and 
cold causes damage. That eggs fail to hatch or 
chicks die is not conclusive evidence of bad 
faith on the part of the seller, and we shall not 
consider claims on that basis. To avoid contro-
