You can make a better 
sprouter than you can buy. 
This sprouter was made in one evening by a 
14-year old boy with a saw and hammer. The 
cost, with heater, was <2.99. Thousands in use. 
All say it is the best and handiest made.

Make Layers Out of Loafers 
To make hens lay their best in winter, growing 
green feed, rich in vitamins, must be fed. Sprouted 
oats are best. The Putnam Home Made Sprouter 
yields the best and sweetest sprouts and with the 
feast work. I will send, free, plans for making this 
sprouter with description of Little Putnam Stove 
to heat it. Also instructions for use of stove to keep 
fowls’ drinking water unfrozen. Stove holds three 
pints of oil. Bunts a month without trimming or 
filling. Patented burner. Nothing like it. Ask your 
dealer, or send me his name and $2.50 and get one by 
return mail, postpaid. Try it. If notsatisfled, return 
in 10 days and I’ll cheerfully refund your money.

Figures from an Egg-laying 
Contest 
The end of the Conecticut egg-laying 
contest gives occasion for producing 
some interesting figures. The following 
table shows the winners for each of the 
13 years of this contest: 
Year Breed Score 
1914 White Leghorns .2088 
1915 White Wyandottes .2072 
1916 White Wyandottes .2265 
1917 Barred Rocks .2119 
1918 Oregons .2352 
1910 Barred Rocks .2022 
1920 Barred Rocks .2234 
3921 White Wyandottes .2234 
1922 White Leghorns .2218 
1923 White Leghorns .2237 
1924 White Leghorns .2531 
The following table shows how the 
birds of different breeds compared: 
400 White Leghorns.179.0 
240 Rhode Island Reds .166.0 
180 Barred Rocks .162.1 
100 White Wyandottes .158.2 
80 White Rocks .141.3 
1000 Average for all breeds.167.7 
shows how they ranked : 
Rhode Island Red, No. 501 ....324 eggs 
White Leghorn, No. 796 . 290 eggs 
White Rock, No. 243 . 281 eggs 
Barred Rock, No. 23 .269 eggs 
White Wyandotte, No. 292 .252 eggs 
Thus in the first five we have one Red, 
one Leghorn, two White Rocks and one 
Wyandotte. In the first 20 pens of 10 
pullets each there were 12 White Leg¬ 
horns, three Reds, one White Rock, three 
Barred Rocks and one Wyandotte. 
Mash for Breeding Stock 
I have a pen of 115 Barred Rock year¬ 
ling pullets, to which I am feeding laying 
mash. Would it be advisable to set their 
eggs for hatching, or should I stop feed¬ 
ing them mash? y. w. 
Bridgeton, N. J. 
Don’t stop feeding them mash if you 
wish them to lay, and you probably do. 
If these are “yearling pullets,” they were 
probably a year old last Spring and will 
be two years old next. After a fowl 
reaches the age of one year it ceases to 
be a pullet or cockerel. liens two years 
old, or older, are best for the breeding 
pen, other things being equal. Feed these 
hens mash during their molting period, as 
you would if they were laying. They will 
rest, grow new plumage and begin to lay 
in late Winter or early Spring; at least, 
they should. Their eggs will then be 
ready for hatching. You can, of course, 
hatch from them now, if you wish Fall 
chicks, but the eggs will not hatch as well 
as they will next Spring. m. b. d. 
Sneezing Pullets 
My pullets sneeze, and inside the 
mouth, on the tongue, all is yellow, and 
they die. Is there anything that can be 
done for it? j. d. 
Wallkill, N. Y. 
First, go through your flock at night 
and remove all pullets that are sneezing 
or displaying a rattle or wheeze in breath¬ 
ing, to other quarters. See to it that the 
quarters of all are dry, clean and well 
ventilated, without • drafts over the 
perches, but don’t shut up all the win¬ 
dows and close the fowls in with their 
contagion. Paint the yellow spots within 
the mouth, or wherever else they are 
found, with tincture of iodine, and repeat 
if necessary. Clean and scald the drink¬ 
ing utensils and dishes from which they 
eat, and keep everything about their 
quarters in sanitary condition. Kerosene 
is a much-used remedy for these roupy 
conditions; a drop or two may be placed 
in each nostril and the fowl’s whole head 
dipped for an instant beneath the surface 
of a bucket of water, upon which a film 
of kerosene is floated. m. b. d. 
Homemade Yeast for Hens 
I have a large quantity of hops, and 
have made yeast from the recipe you 
printed last year. Can you give me any 
information about feeding homemade 
yeast to hens? If so, how much yeast to 
100 lbs. of mash, dry, or must it be fed 
in a moist mash? In that case, how much 
to 100 hens? . b. w. n. 
Mardela Springs, Md. 
Manufacturers of dry yeast for poultry 
feeding recommend that one ounce of 
their product for each 25 birds be fed 
once daily in a moist mash. I do not 
know how this quantity compares with 
homemade liquid yeast, but if you have 
used both the dry yeast in cake form and 
your own product, you may be able to 
make a fair guess as to how much of your 
liquid would replace one ounce (two 
tablespoons) of the dry powder. It is not 
a matter in which you must exercise great 
accuracy in dosage, since the yeast is 
harmless. Why not experiment a little 
on your own account; the whole process 
cannot yet be said to be beyond the ex¬ 
perimental stage. m. b. D. 
PANACEA 
starts both pullets and 
moulted hens to laying 
Are your moulted hens back on 
the egg job? 
Are your pullets laying? 
Is their feed going to flesh or 
eggs—which ? 
What you want is to start the 
feed the egg way.

Pan-a-ce-a. 
Pan-a-ce-a is a tonic that puts 
the dormant egg organs to work. 
That’s when you get the eggs. 
Add Pan-a-ce-a to the ration 
once a day and your hens will give 
a good account of themselves in.

Costs Little to Use Pan-a-ce-a 
The price of just one egg pays 
for all the Pan-a-ce-a a hen will 
eat in six months. 
There’s a right-size package for 
every flock.

Feed Plenty of Minerals 
Feed FOS-FOR-US 
Recent experiments have 
shown that cheap vege¬ 
table meals—such as soy 
bean, peanut or cotton 
seed meals — can be fed 
successfully to fowls — 
•when minerals are added . 
The minerals increased 
egg production and 
growth more than 40%. 
Because of the high lime 
content in FOS-FOR-US, 
you can feed less oyster 
shell — save money and 
labor. 
FOS-FOR-US 
The Phosphate-Lime Qrit 
contains 22% tri-calcium 
phosphate, 70% carbon¬ 
ate of lime. A hard, sharp
