How to Grow the Chicks.

Every one who attempts to grow poul-
try OF any kind during the present season
will be more or less concerned about the
speedy growth of the youngsters This
can be considerably advanced and hasten
ed through proper care and feeding.
Early and often is very good rule to
follow in feeding the young chicks; they
cannot possibly have their first meal too
soon after daylight in the morning 1t is
a habit of many to go about in the even
ing just at dark and place some food
where the young chicks will find it at the
first peep of dawn. This will provide for
the first meal and remove the necessity
of early rising for those who have moth
ing else to call them up early in the
morning; follow this by other feeds at an
interval of every two or three hours dur
ing the day. Where the hen is caring
for the chicks, see that she has a full
food supply at least three times a day
of larger grains, such as whole corn and
wheat. Change the diet of the young
chicks unless you are feeding them one
of the prepared chick foods. This, when
used Is a proper ration for the young
chicks until they are four or five weeks
old.
Following this, nothing can be better
for the young chicks than a mixture of
whole wheat, hulled oats. cracked corn,
and little beef scrap. After the chicks
are three or four weeks old, dry bran
equal parts of very finely ground oats,
corn meal and white mlddings, with
little beef scrap, makes a fine meal for
mash food, which may be scalded with
either boiling milk or water an hour or
two before 1t is fed. This should be fed
to the chicks cool, never hot always in
the consistency termed dry, crumbing
mash.
Sweet skinned milk or milk of any
kind cannot be put to better use than to
he fed to the growing chicks Never feed
the young or growing chicks slops or
sloppy food of any kind. Nothing is
more injurious.
The young and growing chicks must
have grit of some kind provided for them.
Where there is plenty of good sharp sand,
coarse gravel and material of this kind
specially prepared grit need not be given
to them. little small charcoal broken
as fine as a grain of wheat is always of
advantage, both for young and old.
