Lee Hatching Season. Cluclci do best in April, May or June in the central states because it is the natural hatching season. Eggs also hatch best then because it is the natural breeding season. 'Neither males nor females are in proper con dition for mating except during about three months of the year. 1 hat is one reason why chicks out of season do not do so well. It is important therefore that, as nearly as possible, you imitate -spring and summer con ditions when handling chicks in the winter.. It will not do to give chicks summer one minute and winter the next Don't try to raise chicks dur ing winter or early cold spring in a cold, unheated room. The brooder takes the place of a hen only in keep ing the chicks warm. You would not expect a hen and chicks to do well m a temperature ot or w degrees. Neither will they do well running In and out of a brooder at 90 degrees from a room or yard of 30 to SO de grees. Incubators. Don't expect to get as good a ma chine for $10 from one maker as for $20 from another. And don't think that even the $30 man is trying to rob you. If you really want a busi ness machine, don't patronize cheap ness. And when you do buy a ma chine, try and follow the directions given by the one who make, that particular machine. Don't run it the same as Mrs. Jones runs some other make, or according to your own ideas. (jive the manufacturer credit tor knowing best his own machine. Don't blame the incubator if the eggs don t hatch welt; at least, don't blame it entirely. It may be the fault of the eggs or of yourself But when the chicks arrive, then is the time to start right, in raising them and keep right, until they pass the broiler stage. Chicks should not be disturbed, 'either in the incubator or under hens, until they are thoroughly dried otf and moving about briskly. Thif will be twenty-four to thirty-six houra after they hatch. Fortunate are you if you have an incubator with warm nursery and sufficiently venti lated so that the chicks do not get chilled right at the start, or half smothered. Some incubator nurser ies will not keep the flame of a light ed candle burning longer than five minutes. What chance has a hun dred lively, breathing chicks in such a place for twenty-four hours? Chilling. Now, about the chilling, which is not generally understood. You can put a newly hatched chick into an ice box for five minutes without the slightest injury if you then put it back under the mother hen, or in a warm brooder; but leave it for a few hours, or over night, in a warm room that is perfectly comfortable for yourself, and it is irrevocably chilled and ruined. You could take a healthy, naked baby out of doors in the winter time and roll it in the snow for a mo ment without injury and with possi ble benefit, but let the same baby lie naked and uncovered all night in a room of 70 degrees and illness may be expected. This is the most impor tant thing about raising chicks. They must t no time he allowed to be come either chilled or overheated during considerable periods of time. A couple of hours, or an all-night ses sion, of very much above or below the heat point of comfort for the chick, and you have a bunch of in valids on your hands. It's no fun to doctor a lot of chicks for colds, roup. diarrhoea, etc., and all the result of improper brooding or improper food. Many, or most, of the brooding troubles occur at night. The at tendant must not forget that the amount of heat required depends on the temperature of the room and the number of chicks in the brooder. To keep a hover temperature of ninety degreel during the day when the chicks' are running in and out all the time, takes more lamp heat than at night when all the chicks are under the hover. Hen-raised chicles are well taken care of by the mother hen if she has not too many Don t give more than fifteen chicks to a hen, or even ten if the weather is cold. Better give her only as many as she can keep warm than to give her thirty or forty and lose three-fourths of them. Incuba tor chicks should have a dark nursery else they are apt to eat each other s droppings, and for the same reason should have a clean floor in the brooder until they learn what to eat and what not to eat. gaml, sawdust, fine chaff, etc., should not be allowed on the brooder floor at first, but coarse chaff, shavings, etc., are all right Most beginners are apt to keep the hover too cool by day and too hot at night, especially during the early evening. I lie result is that the chicks cannot run in under the hover and get warm quickly enough during the day and, at night, when all are in, it is too hot so that some of the chicks crowd out) or are crowded out from under the hover and do not find their way back again later in the night if it becomes colder. One should always keep a little extra heat during the day, turn down con siderably just about dark when the chicks , go to roost, and then up a advisable or necessary because of little at your bed time if it seems the chicks crowding close together or the room becoming colder. If the chicks huddle close together they are too cold. If they spread out just a tittle apart they feel fine. If they crowd well apart or out from under the hover they are too warm. Lie and Vermin. There is not much trouble with lice until chick, get well past the danger ooint if thev are kept well away from the old fowls or if the old birda are kept well rid of vermin. But all chick ens have lice or mite, eventually if you don't keep after them, just as all dogs have flea, if not properly cared for. And the lice and mites do breed wonderfully fast and spread like a prairie fire. I have many times counted 500 lice taken from one hen and as many as a l.undred from one chick. If you are going to make a success with chickens you cannot take too great precautions in getting rid and keeping rid of vermin. It may run smooth for a time, but you an sure to meet the bumps some day'. When using insect power it doesn't do a bit of good to just sprinkle it on their backs. It must be sprinkled on and then rubbed in through the fluff or feathers, so as to get down to the skin where the lice are generally found. v Feeding. They should not be fed for forty eight hours after they come from the shell. Then a little oatmeal, coarse cornmeal, cracked corn or wheat, or mixed chick food (small seeds . and grain), scattered on a clean spot cm the floor will soon show them how. Be a little patient in teaching them to run under the warm hovetjrequently, as they must do even in a warm room. The minute they begin to stand around and "peep," or commence to huddle in a corner, is the time to send them to bed ior a little while. It does not take them long to learn where to go to get warm. A chick needs nothing to eat dur ing the first twenty-four to forty eight hours, because just before it comes from the shell it absorbs the entire yolk of the egg, which consti tutes a very full feed, or enough to last it for a day or two. Many ama teurs are worried because the chicks seem slow to eat and drink during the first few days, but they need no teach ing and no forcing. Don't keep a pan or fount' of water in the brooder or pen all the time to make it sloppy and mussy. Oive them a drink three times aday only. XL's much better. Most home kitchens have on hand ideal food for chicks in the form of oatmeal, cornmeal and graham flour. These should be mixed in equal parts and may be fed either dry or wet into a crumbly mash with water or sour milk. It is -very important that the chicks receive fresh, unspoiled food. Meal of any kind gets quickly musty, moldy or wormy in hot or damp weather, and ready-to-eat foods are objectionable uhless you know th'ey are fresh. Chickens of all ages should have a pan or box of grit of suitable size or granulation Detore tnem at an times. A chicken has no teeth. The grit, which is nothing but broken pieces of hard, sharp rock or clam shell, of the size of corn for fowls and the size of wheat or rice for chicks, is used in the gizzard to grind the food. Grit is not absolutely neces sary, as the gizzard will grind the food to a certain extent without grit, but the feeding of grit is an enon- omy, ase.it enables the bird to utilize and digest its food to better advan tage. After the first few davs chicks should have the floor of the brooder and adjacent pen or yard well covered with a thick layer of straw chaff or other litter, with which should be mixed a liberal quantity of fresh gar den earth (not dr y dust). The fresh earth absorbs the droppings and keeps all sweet and clean much longer than chaff alone. Under the hover should be cleaned every morning and liber ally sprinkled with fresh earth and chaff, but the rest of the brooder or pens need be cleaned'or renewed only as necessary, once or twice a week. In the floor litter should be scattered frequently small grain, such as millet seed, cracked wheat, corn and rice, etc. The chicks should be fed lib erally and frequently, but riot so much that they will stand around and not scratch or leave food to get sour or musty. Musty, moldy or spoiled food is poison to chicks. Prepared chick foods should never be used unless known to be fresh. That is, I mean complete foods of ground grain, often of uncertain age. Chick food consist ing of small seeds and trains should also be fresh, clean and sweet. In too manv olaces the chick food bin is a dumping ground for any old seeds and grain that cannot be used for other purposes, for this same rea son the chicks should receive only as much as they will eat each day and not allow any to lay around in the straw or litter and become moldy and musty. It's quite a little trick to learn to feed chickens enough, but not too much. y They must be per mitted plenty of time for frequent going under the warm hover to rest and get warm, but when they are out side they should be busy and hustling most of the time, and yet should go to bed at night with a good, full crop. Orit should be supplied tor cntcK- ens, both young and old. It is their teeth by means of which they grind the food in their gizzards. Many are apt to overlook this through sum mer, thinking that the cnicKens can pick up plenty of grit anywhere. If deprived of grit they are apt to pick up things that they should not have, such as tacks. Small nails, lumps of salt or other improper material. Sand or round pebbles do not make good grit. Crushed rock or crockery is good. , uver-teeding ot concentrated iooa such as srain, meal, meat, etc.. with little or no fresh vegetables, causes gout, which is generally evidenced by lameness of one wing or leg. It is always the fattest and finest looking birds that are troubled in this way. They are simply overfed, or with in sufficient variety. Generally this de velops later into liver disease and finally into apoplexy, which is gen erally the trouble when a big, fat hen is found dead under the roosts in the morning. This is easy to prevent, but impossible to. cure. A head of cabbage or some beets, turnips, potatoes or onions should be kept in' each (n all the time A chunk of liver tacked to a board or hung up by a cord just above their heads creates lively interest; too much so if only one piece and a 100 chicks. Chicks, after the first few days, must have fresh vegetables every day in amount at least one third of their total rations. A good rule for feeding is one-third whole or cracked grain, one-third mash, one-third vegetables. A chicken must have fresh vegetables just as much as a horse or a cow must have hay. Cabbage, lettuce, beet tops, beets, turnips, potatoes, onions are all good. Finely cut grass, clover or alfalfa is good. Never allow strings or stringy food of any kind for chickens, young or old. It wads up in the crop and chokes the passage leading to the gizzard. Stringy meat, bacon rinds, etc., are especially bad. A chicken with a full, hard crop in the early morning is likely crop-bound.. A little castor oil administered through the mouth aifd the crop thoroughly kneaded or massaged will sometimes start a passage. Otherwise, only an operation will avail. A little fresh meat can profitably be given to chicks daily, but only a little. There is nothing that a chick likes better than fresh meat or even cooked meat, but it must be given only in small amount and choppee?" fine. Injured' Chicks. Wadfch carefully and immediately remove from the brooder any chick that is injured and especially if bloody. - Chicks are strongly canni balistic if once started and a will quickly tear to pieces an injured chick if they once get a taste of the blood. Smear tar over any in jured or bleeding spots. Keep tacks, small nails, etc., severely away from the chicks. A hen with ten to fifteen chicks can be put in a yard covered with shingle nails, tacks, sand, salt, poisonous weeds, wheat, corn, and other good and bad things for chicks to eat, and the hen will quickly show the chicks what to eat and what to let alone. If. however. 100 brooder chicks are allowed in the same yard, there will be a great loss. Une chick will pick up a tack, a shingle nan or a piece of poisonous substance, and if left strictly alone would probably not swallow it Anyone who has had ex perience with a lot of incubator hatched chicks knows-that if one chick picks up any new and strange sub stance, forty other chicks will immedi ately take after it, and the chick swal lows the article before having a chance to allow natural instinct to de tect the good from the bad. This is especially true regarding any1 new oi strange thing that a chick may run across, and care should therefore be used when putting chicks in new yards. When chickens die, Durn or Dury them. Don't let any dead birds or animals lay around, neither rotten eggs. Beware of lumps of salt, scraps of salt meat or fish, scraps or strings or meat or bacon rind. Some Facts. Care should also be taken in ar ranging pens and yards for mother less chicks, especially if kept together in larsre numbers, and nothing of a deleterious nature should be allowed in or about these yards. The same will apply to chicks after they are re moved from brooder to colony house, or regular poultry bouse. Until at least six or eight weeks old there is great danger, and the greater the numbet of chicks in the flock, the greater the danger. We know of one case where hundreds of chicks were lost annually before the cause was discovered. Chicks need protection from sudden storms and rain until several weeks only, should not have a large yard, but should be kept close to the brooder or brooder house. If, through accident, they should get drenched in a sudden rain, they should be ' dried and thoroughly warmed as quickly as possible. Many storm-soaked chicks are saved by the farmer's wife after apparently past saving by wrapping them in flannel and putting them in the kitchen oven for a time. 1 When the chicks feather too fast, with droopy wings, etc., it indicates lack of variety in the diet; generally lack of vegetables. Clipping the wing and tail feathers will help, but the food must be changed. When chicks are doing well and getting right feed Land care you can almost see them grow. If the leather:, grow fast and the wings commence to droop it in dicates a poor variety of food. If they appear lame, as the biggest, fat test chicks will often do, it is the resu': of too much concentrated food and not enough vegetables. Chickens don t need cooked tood. Lorn bread is all right and raw corn meal is jujt as good, if fresh, but neither will ci as an exclusive diet. CONSOLIDATED POULTRY AND EGG CO. Omaha, Neb. : " Council Bluff,, low.

Priam Dwitaa 1711 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Home-Hade Brooders. Q. Can you tell me how to make a brooder? , . A home-made brooder may be made from an ordinary box by padding the walls with cotton or other soft ma terial, which will insulate it nd hold heat in on the chicks. Small hole, should be bored around the side to allow for ventilation. Many chicks are raised annually on our farms with no heat and by such methods of brood ing. A hot-water jug is placed in the center of the box at night. During the day the chicks are kept busy working in the litter for, their feed and are not given very much heat Such a brooder should be kept in a warm room. Chicks raised in such firefireless brooders are usually thirfty hearty and very strong. Leg Weakness. Q.l have had considerable trouble in the past, with leg weakness, can you give me the cause and a remedy? Brooder chicks that are too closely housed and fed too heavily are very likely to develop weight too fast in proportion to their strength. The first symptom is an unsteadiness in the walk, followed by frequent rest ing and sitting while eating. A change from a forcing ration to a non-forcing ration, as well as a change from a heavy feed to a light one, is essential. The substitution of bran,' wheat and oatmeal for corn meal and corn, and the addition of bone-strengthening materials, such as skim milk, green feed and commercial dried bone, remedy the ration. Out door exercise and more room must also be given. Broody Hens. Q. Please tell me how to cure hens of brooding. The quicker ? broody hc:i is broken up the sooner she will start laying again. To break up a broody heu effectively place her in a coop v.ith a slatted bottom, where the air can cir culate underneath her body. Such a coop may well be built in a conveni ent place in the poultry house, where it is easy to take the fowls from the) nest and put them in the jail when first noticed. The yolks of the egg, will continue to develop if the hen is broken up immediately, but every day she is allowed to sit absorption takes place and only a longer tima is required for her to start laying again.'
