How to Raise Chickens

LESSON Soaring FOR BABY-CHICKs

Before putting the newly hatch
ed chicks into the brood coop, dust
them with some good insect pow
der and grease tops of their heads
with lard as a protection against
lice. Do not apply grease to any
other part of the body, however
The hen, too, should be busted
with the insect powder.
For the first SO or 48 hours feed
only the hen, as nature has already
provided for the chicks for that
length of time. Then their first
feed may be some bread crumbs OF
finely broken crackers. Feed them
lightly and often, and be sure that
they have all the CLEAN, fresh
water they can drink.
After the first 10 days feed the
chicks four times a day until they

himself sinking to the floor. He
clutched at the wall and bravely

was failing. He could not make

iperate effort he raised his rifle,
but sank under its weight. AS

Iare a month old, then three times
a day is sufficient. Prepared chick
feed, which you can buy cheaply
is to be advised, but a home ration
can be prepared by combining
equal parts of pin-head oatmeal
millet, finely cracked corn and
cracked wheat, with little finely
broken charcoal and fine grit
added.
Grit-ground up hard stone
must be given chickens, or they
will starve, as they have no teeth
Be sure to remember that.
Give them some johnnycake
crumbs, finely ground green bone
and green food. Everything must
be finely cut up. After a month
they will eat whole wheat, cracked
corn, and any other grain that is
handy, also they can then begin te
help themselves to table scraps.
Give the chicks plenty of shade
keep that CLEAN, FRESH water
near them, and let them run about
where the older chickens cannot
bother them. Keep them out OF
wet grass and damp places.
Watch for rats and cats. Both
are fond of young chickens. Let
the mother hen out for a little
while each evening, and given &C.
cess to a good dust bath.
If they cannot get to run about
in grass, you must feed them
green food, cut up lettuce is
good. Try to scatter their food
over the ground, raking it in ii
possible. That gives them exer-
else. Remember this, if you want
your hens to lay they must get
lots of exercise, and teach them to
|start early in life.
If possible, give growing chicks
la daily feast of milk, either sweet,
skinned or sour, but not souring
milk.
Keep an eye open for lice. Dust
them once a week with the insect
powder.
When the chicks are from a
month to six weeks old the hen
will show disposition to let them
shift for themselves. Send her
back to the chicken house, and let
her begin laying. Keep the chicks
in their brood coop until they get
crowded.
There is little difference in the
treatment of hen-hatched chicks
and artificially incubated ones.
Remove the latter from the ma
chine about So hours after hatch
ing and place them in the brooder,
which, of course, you got at the
time you bought the incubator.
Breeders are easily made, and are
intended to keep the little chicks
warm during the trying period of
their lives.
When they are about six weeks
old, take them from the breeders
and then they ought to be large
enough for the colony house.
After you once get the chicks
past the first four or six weeks,
you have crossed the danger line.
Their care from then until they
pass out of existence will be dis
cussed in tomorrow's Times.

All batter cakes are better
baked on an INCREASED griddle, as
they rise and keep their shape, and
do not follow the grease. You will
be rid of the disagreeable smoke
and the odor of burning fat. Your
griddle need not necessarily be of

griddle and clean it thoroughly,
being sure to remove all burned
fat or batter, it can be used in the
above way.
