FEATHERiNG OF CHICKS.
II Is Exhausting Growth and Healthy
Feeding Is Necessary.

The sooner the young chick deyel'

down the better. The time at which
the chick is putting out feathers Is
considered n crisis in his life. 1t IL
therefore necessary to give him nutri'
tIous food so as he can build the
feathers as soon as possible. a part
ration OF meat daily is very good to
help him in this work. which comes
as an extra strain at this time. The
fact that some chicks feather too rap
idly is n cause OF weakness with them
There is no other way TO do than TO
give the very best food that can be
given, those feeds rich In body build
ing material. Skim milk Is good.
But feeding Of corn meal Is COM
mon on some farms, the young chicks
being given very large amount Of
this kind of food With corn meal,
rays Prairie Farmer, the chick has to
digest n great deal Of food to get the
amount of nitrogen needed for tho
building of the feathers, and the feath-
ers are rich in nitrogen. One OF the
best feeds at this time is oatmeal.
