times a sudden downpour, and lots Of

ems and poults out on the range, and
II ls impossible sometimes for US to
get them to shelter without half

hayo brought In drowned chicks by
the apronful or dozen after one OF
those showers, some dead, and others
died because didn't know how to np-
ply warmth. | have been taught since
by an older head TO double q piece OF
carpet or other thick cloth and cover
the bottom Of warm oven with 1t,
put the wet chick on this, and those
that seem dead immerse all but their
heads In warm water, have 1t so warm
that you can barely hold your hand
in 1t, and hold the chicks there until
they can move themselves easily. You
will be surprised to see how soon an
apparently dead chick will revive, II
you have never tried this remedy, But
alas, this remedy will not bring dead
chick to life,
After you take them from the wa
ter, wipe them with a dry cloth and
put them In the warm oven to dry. We
do not have all this bother with brood
er chicks, for their mother Is always
in the same place, not a gadabout all
over the farm, and the chicks know
which way to run when they need pro-
lection. We intend to do away with
hens for brooders as soon as possible
because artificial brooders are not half
the bother and we raise the chicks,
