TO RAISE HEALTHY CHICKENS Lack of Vigor In Newly Hatched Chicks lo Often Traceable to Weakness of Parents. (Prepared by the United States Popart mcnt of Agriculture.) To bo -successful In raising chickens It Is necessary to have healthy nnd vigorous breeding stock, for tho lack of vigor In the newly hatched chicks Is often traceable to weak parents. Only the most vigorous nnd tho 'best grown birds should be put In the breeding yards. Each bird should bo full of llfo nnd energy and frco from any serious deformity. Yearling hens nre usually better than pullets for breeders, for the reason that tho hens nre more mnture and do not lay so ninny eggs during tho early winter, nnd consequently do not reduce their vitality so much before the brooding season. Vigorous hens 2 to 4 years old can often bo ndvantngeously retnlned In tho breeding yard. Tho mnlc bird chosen should bo young nnd active. An early hatched, welbdevel- ........ '. . .' .

The hens used for breeding purposes should bo given the best care possible; they should bo provided with largo runs, nnd should not be forced for heavy egg production during tho early win ter. DIPPING CHICKENS FOR LICE Likely to Become More General Than Dipping Cattle Because Pest Is More Numerous. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) "Dip that chick !" It Isn't done Just for the sake of ranking a rhyme for "dip that tick," either. Dipping chick ens Is likely to become more general than dipping cattle, because the chicken louse Is a more widely distrib uted Insect thnn the cattle tick. The "dip" consists of 1 ounce of sodium fluoride to the gallon of water, which should be nt a temperature of 70 to 85 degrees. The dipping should be done on a clenr, warm day never on a cold day. Tho old way of getting rid of chicken Hco wns by dusting with dry sodium lluorldo. It was effective, but In the case of large flocks it was slow and wasteful, a great deal of tho dusting material being Inevitably lost. Recent dipping experiments proved successful, and tho results promise a sure and speedy means of getting rid of one of the worst pests of poultry.
