How to Sprout Oats 
On page 451 M. It. asks the best way 
to sprout oats, and on the same page is 
aptly answered by M. B. D. Here is a 
method of sprouting oats that was passed 
on to me by a fellow poultryman, and I 
am giving it to you to sort of even up 
our accounts. 
To try this method out get about four 
empty lard tubs from your local mer¬ 
chant:. and bore a %-in. hole in each one 
of them on the side, as near the bottom 
as you can. It may be necessary to cut 
the hoop a little to get to the bottom. 
Then fill one of the tubs about half full 
of oats, cover well with water—warm or 
cold, depending on the season—and let it 
soak just four hours. When you drain 
the water off place a burlap bag soaked 
with warm water over the oats, if the 
weather is cold, and leave until the oats 
develop heat, which will be inside of 36 
hours under normal conditions. When 
I he oats have warmed up they should he 
dumped into another tub, flushed well 
with water and left, so they will drain off 
quickly. Follow this method out every 
morning, seeing that you use plenty of 
water, and being very careful not to let 
the oats get too hot. Follow up with 
soaking more oats as you need them and 
^•ou will always have an abundant sup¬ 
ply of green feed for your chicks and old 
stock. 
This system is very simple, and it does 
away with the lamp-heated sprouter and 
all such trails. By using these tubs and 
a half-barrel to soak the oats in many 
breeders supply thousands <>f hens daily 
with very little trouble. 
Remember, in Winter use warm water 
and set your tubs in the cellar or other 
warm place. In Summer set your tubs 
in the shade out of doors some place, and 
water twice a day regularly with clean, 
cold water. Also use no bags to cover 
the oats in Summer, as the trouble then 
is to keep heat down. Should mold de¬ 
velop. use more cold water. Rinse the 
oats off well twice a day, and keep them 
broken apart. The very best chickens 
we have ever raised were fed on oats 
treated in this manner, and we have 
never had a sick chick on account of 
moldy sprouted oats. All you need is 
plenty of water, good drainage, and a few 
good, clean tubs. Remember that cleanli¬ 
ness keeps down mold, and that a good 
sunning will make your tubs sweet after 
using. The sprouts made in this way are 
not th(> green kind. T might add. but the 
tender, crisp, white kind that the birds 
Lke best of all, and. incidentally, gets 
the most nutriment, from.

Leg Weakness 
T have 130 chicks three weeks old. AH 
were and are doing fine except that I 
notice two have leg weakness. They are 
brought up under a hover and now they 
never use the hover but sleep around if. 
The room is light and airy, the feed is 
a prepared mash which is before them 
always, and I scatter some scratch grains 
in over two inches of straw once a day. 
The chicks affeected cannot walk on their 
toes. It’s on the whole feet that they 
creep along. Could you tell me the 
cause of the ailment and also the cure, 
if any? M. R. 
Quakertown, Pa. 
Leg weakness will develop after 1\vo 
or three Weeks in chicks that are kept 
indoors and upon board floors. A run 
should be arranged so that the chicks can 
get out of doors onto the ground, even 
if that ground has to be largely mud. 
A clean grass run is, of course, the ideal 
place for little chicks but clean mud is far 
better than an indoor floor to which they 
must be confined. I know of no way 
to prevent leg weakness in closely con¬ 
fined chicks. m. B. D.
