am not the only man who has thrown
out the brooders and uses a large room
with a stove in the center. Like
everything else they require attention.
You have to regulate the ventilation

we'll Rest the stove on bricks thus

leaving an opening of about IL inches
for them to run in and out; have feed
ing rlace In one end and rCosts in the
other and nothing can beat the stove
house, with either wood or oil AS fuel.
If you put healthy chicks into them
you can raise a greater percentage
with less risks of loss than in the
sweat boxes. Lots of people are very
successful with sweat boxes but they
are too complicated. There are times
when the lid has to be raised: certain
times, certain ages; and at night time
so much. Put the chicks into these
brooders and you will be success full as
long as you know how to manipulate
them, but let anything happen to the
chicks in those breeders under heat,

When the writer returned from a
trip to California, during which he
had seen numerous successful examples
of the new way of bi oodlng he found
the poultrymen of this section inclined
to disbelieve his stories concerning
it. 1t was so maIvelousy simple as to
seem Incredible. One breeder said,
eff that's SO why we're brooders ever
invented any way and in the light

thing is certain; If brOoders had
never been invented the business of
poultry raising woul be on a much
more successful footing at the present
time. But its no use mourning for
the millions of chicks that have given
no their lives in the "sweat boxes
as Mr.. Lee calls them. The only
thing to do now Is To be modem and
fall into line with the prol gessive me o
who are making poultry raising prof

.. Can you recommend hopper
that will not waste the feed?
Ans. No. | wish could. Most of
us are looking for just that kind of a
hopper and have rosy dreams Of find
ing one some of these days. A neigh
Dor of mine claims to have one that is
just abont right and am going over
to look at it soon.
3. Can young chicks be fed the dry
mash and is it true that feeding corn
imparts yellowish tinge to white
pIumaged fowls?
Ans. Yes, to the first part of your
question and No, most decidedly TO
the latter Don't be afraid of corn
as feed. 1t never discolored any
birds plumage and in moderate Quanti-
ties Is all right for laying hens while
as food for the Young stock on ranges

Can you give me the name of some
good manual or book of instruction on
the subject.
Ans. Unfortunately l can't. Most,
if not all, of the books on the subject
are published in the East and as they
are not suited to conditions on the
Pacific Coast would do you more
harm than good. Write for the U. S.
Government Bulletins. You ought to
get some benefit from them. You will
find articles on the various branches
of chicken raising published in this
paper at the proper seasons.

gen, bandage foot and turn bird out
foot weekly.

Give your birds plenty of it and when
you think they have had enough give
them some more. 1t will work won
ders in improving the condition of the
moulting birds.
When your birds have finished the
moult, mate up a pen and get out
some January Matched chicks. They
will be hardy lot and will be laying
strong early next fall when eggs are
at a good pcice.
OF course they will moult hut they
will be laying again by New Years and
will lay much better then than the
yearling hens.
