Get out all the chicks You can before
midsummer.
Provide green food for the clllcks il
ysu want them to thrive.
Set your hens in cool place and on
the ground as the weather begins to
get hot.
Chicks that are allowed 10 remain
lousy won't do any good. Grease the
old hen.
A good condition powder should be
administered to fowls once or twice a
week. II viii keep them healthy and
ward on disease.
Covers for the hen and her brood to
roost in should be made rat-proof and
covered securely to keep ont rain.
Covers should be fastened down sothat
they can't blow OIL.
Not more than fifty per cent. OF the
chicks that are Matched are raised 10
maturity. Figure il up and see how
many millions OF dollars poulterers lose
annually by carelessness.
As soon az you can spare the old
hens, fatten them for market. They

no gapes. TO rid n chick of gapes,
double a horschair and tie knot one
