When I wan. tew raze chickens | ioant
az 4 mite OF help from the ole hen ar;er
shezs dun hatchin 'em, and | dOant az
that if l had emmy incubitater. But the
her will dew the bizness and you doant
hev tex warm her Il? with emmy hot
water or karseau lie lamp, nor hang euy
furbnmeter tew her. sosto know If the
thing doaDt git tew hot. Arter the leetle
y;,ller, downy things air out OF the shell,
| take 'em immeietely away an put 'em
INTO a box, what has lot of sand on the
bottom OF IT. This ear box shoOd orter
be about tew feet square and about
twelve inches deep. try and hev two
hens at least tew hatch at the same time
and as many mOar as wants tew so that
i.e got even number. | dew this sostO
have about the ritz number in each box,
which is frum 20 to 80. When they kan
siY out over the top OF the box let 'em
run where their mindter and gather
all the bugs and worms they kin find.
Bn5s and worms and insecks air crop
yo. Kan raza without emmy plowin. and
their AIiEhty refreshin tew chickens.
These ear boxes what the chickens al
pat into, have 4 peese OF cloth a little
bigger than the size of the box tackled
Onto one side and when they all huddle
cluss together into one corner as they
alters dew, / pull that air cloth down
over 'em and kiver em up all snug and
warn. This ear way is satisfactory tew
the hens, tew the chickens and tew me.
OF course when these ear poor little or
fans arrive IN this onfrieniiy world
without a single tooth and no hare to
brag o., they hev to be KEEP warm and
dry, so that they won't catch cold and
