The Brooder for Early BroiIers

To hatch the chicks in the incubator
and raise them in brooders, give the
best results for early broilers. A day
or two before time for them to hatch,
heat the brooder to 80 degrees, and
keep it as near that point as possible
for two or three days after the chicks
are put in. Then 1t can run down
few degrees until it is as low as 65 or
20 degrees.
Keep a lamp burning all the time,
day and night for two weeks, for fear
of sudden change. OF course they
are let out on a run when they are
a week old, but when they begin to
feel cold they will go back to the
brooder Spread chaff on the floor for
bedding or for feed. and use corn
bread well cooked so as crumble well,
for the first few feeds. with a little
fine grit scattered on the floor: char
coal is kept before them a great por-
tion of the time and fresh water
always.
After two or three days begin to feed
prepared chick food and feed nothing
else for two or three weeks. When
they begin to feather a little feed sor-
ghum seed. milo maize, with little
cracked corn and wheat. This method
of feeding is as good as any, and very
few are lost from bowel trouble when
fed this way. They grow as fast as
when fed in any other way and by
the time they are eight or ten weeks
old they will make good broilers.

STRANGE DOINGS

Some years ago Frank A. Munsey,
the magazine man, hired pr vate sec
retary. Speaker Reed dropped in to
call on Mr.. Munsey, who was an old
friend of his. The secret ry said that
Mr.. Munsey was engaged.
"All right said Reed, 'I'l wa t."
At the end of half an hour Munseys
door opened and the publisher appeared
showing his caller out.
Seeing the speaker he grasped his
hand and dragged him into his Off e.
An hour later, when Reed had gone,
Mr.. Munsey called his secretary.
Look here, Block" he said, what
do you mean by letting Speaker Reed
wait unannounced half an hour?"
"Wa-wa-wat that Mr.. Reed?"
"It certainly was"
why, I thought 1t wath the Rv.

"Dr. Hall has been dead for two
years." answered Munsey, severely.

the goose is the wisest fowl among the
lot. She never quarrels without cause,
she sees danger before any other fowl,
she has more courage than the rooster,
and If given fair show she can beat
off almost any foe.
A flock of geese in the barnyard at
night is as good as watch dog. The
geese are light sleepers and will give
the alarm the instant they see a strang-
er moving about. We must say LAS

become sticky and nasty. A building
open around the bottom and without a
board floor is less expensive than the
other. A very proper height for
house is five feet high at back and eight
in front
The roosts are usually about three
feet from the floor and should be
twelve inches from the wall. Do not
have roosts too small or too narrow, as
ii compels the fowl to grasp the perch
so tightly in order to maintain her
position that it affects the circulation,
cramps the foot and frequently results
in corns from the irritation. On the
other hand, do not have the perches too
broad as they will invariably roost on
the front edge of the board with the
toes reaching down over the edge. III
you should happen to see chickens go
ing to roost in a tree some time you
will see that they never choose a large
round limb, but will select a branch
not over two inches in diameter, around
which their toes can reach comfortably,
where they feel safer and rest easier
than on broad surface.
A convenient roOst is make by TAX
Ing a couple of supports such as car
penters use for saw benches, and have
notches or nails to hold the roosts

the house will be cleared for clean
ing, too.
Be sure to have the droppings board
sufficiently wide. BY using sand or
fine earth the droppings board can be
cleaned every day with little trouble.
Use a wide scraper; one can be made
at home. using a board and mailing 1t
to handle like a street sweeper
brush.
Nests
The nest should be about fifteen
inches square and the same height,
with a small opening into each. The
nests can be arranged Under the drop
pings board or i'm corners. For the
pleasure of some hens who will prefer
to go up instead of down to lay their
eggs a nest or two may be placed up
nearer the roof. AS precaution
against egg eating keep the nests
dark. If a nest is dark a hen will go
in only to lay and will leave as soon
as the egg is deposited.

NO BIRTHS IN 2059

IF the present decline in the b'r h
rate should continue for a century
and a half there would be no more
births at that time" said Prof. Walter
F. Wilcox, the Cornell statistician He
warned against the small number of
births among the better classes.
He said: "There has been an in
crease of perhaps 100000 900 in the
earth's population since 1870. This in
crease was not due t0 an increased
birth rate, but, rather to the decreased
death rate, ~ured bv The progress Of
science and of government Unde-
earlier conditions "A famina, pestilence
or war killed many persons.
1.-The decline of the birth rate in the
United States has probably been as
rapid as in any country of Europe,
and if it should continue unchecked
for a century and half, at the end
of that time no births would take
place. The decrease is greater among
the classes whose children would prob
ably inherit most social worth and
capacity for leadership"

have two cleats each to make them

netting and at the edges are strips of
three quarters by one and one-half
inch stuff to insure rigidity. In one
corner, as shown, is the nest, four
inches deep and fifteen to eighteen
inches square. according to the size
of the hens kept. The board floor is
covered with sawdust or sand. Food

Poultry Pointers

good scratching pen may be made
from large dry goods box by cutting
ii down or by mailing boards together
and having the sides high enough to
hold straw i'm when the hens get to
scratching.
Potato parings and scraps from the
table are relshed by the fowls. Po-
tato parings, cleaned and boiled, mixed
with meal and salt and then cooled,
make fine evening meal for the
chickens.
Do not forget that chickens require
salt as much as W. do
To keep chickens WELL protect from
rain and cool winds.
Plenty of shade is necessary in very
warm weather.
Keep plenty of bone, shell and char
coal where the chickens can find them
at all times.
Keep brooders and houses clean and
disinfect once a week.
Worth Knowing
Guinea hens are good layers. Though
the eggs are smaller the shell is full, so
they afford quite as much eating as
the average hens egg.
If one keeps a few guineas, there is
nc danger of chickens being carried off
by hawks, as the guinea will utter an
ear-piercing shrek If danger threatens.
Any one without experience, who
wishes to engage i'm the poultry busi-
ness, can acquire more by working for
or with some successful breeder than
by any other way. Though experience
is a good teacher. she is sometimes an
expensive one.
Anything worth doing at all is worth
doing well. This includes poultry rails
ing.
