GRASS FOR CHICKS.

There Is scarcely one thing so con.
ducive to the health of young chicks
as n plat OF ground where grass or
clover grows abundantly. The little
fellows run about gathering n sprig

time growing and gaining strength and
vigor Chicks that stay where the
grass grows are always thrifty, never
have gapes. and invariably grow rapid.
ly. They learn early in life to hustle.
and after they have reached maturity
the habit does not forsake them.
A woodland makes n delightful spot
for rearing chicks, the shade. the insect
life and the grass all combining to aid
the growth and develop the health OF
the chick. The only objection to such
a place is the danger from Wild ami
mails and hawks, but this Is not always
the case, and when possible, we should
advise selecting rolling, sparsely
tlmbered woodland. In any event,
though, select spot where grass grows
abundantly.- and Farm.

If any Of the hens wish to go on the

Is no better way 10 get n hen In good

on the nest two weeks and then break

they do so because they are out Of

break them up at once Is TO violate
