Simple Rules for the Amatuer.
" By George H. 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.

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.' Persistent sitters are poor
layers,' and unless the fowl is other
wise valued as a breeder she had bet
ter be sent to market. Sitting is th,
trait of a laz; hen.
