Just now [ cannot give this subject
the time and space necessary to
thorough understanding of it. We
are threshing out the subject of room
brooding just now and will in due
season take up other brooding meth
DDS.
CANNIBALISM IN CHICKS.
A. W., Kingston, WASH, asks if
chicks when In large focks ever get
the habit of picking each others toes
and wants to know the cure. This
cannibalism occurs IN most flOcks of
any size but can be stopped in the be-
ginning of the trouble by catching
and killing the chicks that began it;
sometimes there is only one click so
vicious that it must be killed; and
then feeding meat lightly two OF three
times a week. Liver, well boiled and
finely chopped, is the best for this
purpose.

Oxygen out of the air the chicks is

Yours Truly
We beg to take mild exception to
the writer's statement that this method
has been described ''from time to
time" by the Petaluma Poultry Jour
nal. In the two years preceding our
introduction of this topic the p. p j.
twice mentioned it cursorily and
without comment; once in reporting
a meeting of the Petaluma Poultry
Association and once when Mr.. R1zer
wrote to them asking them to take
notice of it, at which time it publish
ed his letter but in decidedly incon-
spicuous position. Probably Acc per
day would be the average cost OF
heating a room with distillate for the
first 10 days, possibly for two weeks,
but it would drop to little more than
half I'll at by the end of the fourth
week and | cannot run lamp breeders
containing 1000 chicks as cheaply as
that. 1t is absolutely unnecessary to
sit up nights to watch the retort burn
er and the burner this writer speaks
of using three years ago is no doubt
entirely out of date. In fact three
years ago there was no burner made
specially for this purpose.
Now with the following letter from
one of Petaluma' most successful
poultrymen we will bring the present
article to it's conclusion.
