Yards for Brooders and Chicks.


Millions of chickens will be matched
this month. If the chorus of peepings
all over the land could be concentrated
so as to be audible all at once, what
concert there would be. Breeders are
generally arranged to give warmth and
shelter to fifty to one Hundred chicks.
Many who have had large experie nee,
are entirely opposed to allowing the
best hen in the world to Lrood her own
chicks. The chicks that hatch strong
and we'll, are removed from under the
hen soon after they are dry. Their
heads are CREASED with any soft fat, and
little is rubbed under the wings so as to
be sure that no vermin from the hens
attach to the little cnes. Then they are
placed in the brooder, under tank of
warm or hot water. The temperature of
the brooding chamber should not be
higher than one hundred degrees Faer.,
but to secure this in cold weather, the
water must be often nearly boiling. For
day or two they will not leave the
brOoder, and must of course have food,
and water or milk, placed in the outer
and lighted portion for them. If there
are older chicks in the brooder, the little
ones will soon run after them, and must
be either shut in or watched, to prevent
their getting chilled. Yards ten feet
square, made with common plastering
lath, or wire netting, are of convenient
size, and the fence need not be higher
than one can easily step over, except up
on the south side, where it is well to
have a close board fence four feet high,
with n roof projecting about three feet,
making little shed where the chicks can
run in all weather. The sun on fair
days will strike all the ground under the
root except at near noon in midsummer,
at which time part of the ground will be
in shade. In the morning and afternoon,
in fair weather, all the ground will be in
the sunshine. When many chickens are
raised, several yards and brooders are
needed. The yards may be arranged for
convenience ON either side of three or
four foot passage, and the brooders may
be placed so that their hot water ends
will project into the walk for convenience
of filling with water, or adjusting the
lamps ifthe lamp-brooders are employed.
AS soon as the chicks get to be as large
as ones fist, the door may be narrowed
so that the large ones can not get into
the brooder, while the little ones run
easily in and out. When this is done,
box must be provided for sheteriug the
big chicks. 1t should have a pane OF
glass in the top, and be rather small so
that the chicks will keep one another
warm. Such box may best be placed
under the shed. The birds will soon
learn to occupy it at night.
