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-

oped cockerel Is usually satisfactory,
or a good vigorous yearling or 2-year-old
cock may be chosen. 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.
UP-TO-DATE SUMMER HOUSES

Great Number of Farms.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart

Tho curtalif-front or partial open
front house Is conceded to bo tho best
type for most sections. The colony
plan of housing poultry mny bo
adopted to advantage oh many farms.
This system does away with the (lun
ger of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the
same level, 'A feet frpm the floor, with
a dropping bonrd about 0 Inches bo
low them. Good roosts may be made
of 2 by 2 Inch material with the upper
edges. rounded.
The nests may be plnced on the
side walls or under the dropping
boards. It in best to have them dark
ened, as the hens prefer n secluded
plnce In which to lay.
Let the hens help themselves U u
dry mush.
Market white-shelled and brown
shelled eggs In separate packages.
Ship or deliver egga at least twice
or thrco times weekly. x
Cull the flock so ns to ellmlnnte the

fertile eggs,
Market hens which you do not wish
to carry longer us soon us they stop
