THE YOUNG CHICKS.
Some Valuable Suggestions as to the

Some Valuable Suggestions as to the
Care of the Little Fellows.
When the chicks are thirty or forty
hours old they are carried In warm
covered baskets to the brooders, and
fifty or sixty are put under each hover,
where the temperature is between 95
and 100 degrees, says a writer. speak
ing from experience, in Inland Poultry
Journal. The temperature is not al
lowed to fall below SO degrees the first
week or 80 during the second week
Then it is gradually reduced according
to the temperature outside. care being
taken not to drive the chicks out by too
much heat or to cause them to crowd
together under the hover because they
are cold. They should flatten out sep
arately when young and little later
lie with their heads just at the edge Of
the fringe of the hover.
Under no condition are they allowed
to huddle outside of the brooder They
huddle because they are cold, and they
should be put under the hover to get
warm until they learn to do so of their
own accord. Neither are they allowed
to stay under the hover too much, but
are forced out into the cooler air,
where they gain strength in the day

They must not get cold enough to hud-
die or cry, but they must come out
from under the hover frequently.
The floor of the brooder Is cleaned
every day and kept we'll sprinkled
with sharp, fine crushed rock, known
in the market as "chick grit" The
floor of the house is covered with clio

For raising great numbers of winter
chickens the long piped brooder house
Is indispensable, and 1t has many adj

the year. The advantages are espe-
cially great when raising chickens If
April or May prove to be cold and
wet, for then the small houses are apt
to be cold outside of the breeders.
The expenditure is greater for the
piped houses for the reason that colony
houses should be provided in which
the chickens may be sheltered after
they leave the brooder house. In ordi-
