With this brooder we have raised
80 chicks without single loss, taking
them from the incubator at 1903 de-
grees and placing them in on of the
breeders when there was yet snow
and Ice on the ground. We keep
breeders outdoors in small yards, IL
by 16 feet; for run for the chicks
as they get older. Last season we
raised some 600 chicks, and most OF
them when three, weeks old sold at
Is cents each. This is a good way to
do, as they do not have to be fed
long, and there Is less loss from
hawks, rats, etc. We find ready
market for all we can raise.

BR00DER THAT is PRACTICAL
PouItryman Experiences Little Trou-
BILE In Hatohlns Out Chicks, but
Hard to Raise Them.

AS It Is getting near the time to
get ready for Matching the early
chicks, the thought came to me that
! would tell Of our experience with
brooder without heat. We have no
trouble in Matching the chicks, the
trouble has been to get them to live
after we had them Matched, writes g.
W. Scott of Michigan in the Farmers
Review. We tried several ways. but
failed until we made our useful brood
er. Since then we have had good sue
cess. We made out own breeders out
of old boxes, that Is, we made them
over with lumber The boxes cost 20
cents each, and two Of them made a
brooder for hatch of rs to 80 chicks.
The brooder is made with two COM
partments, one for the hover and the
other for the run. The size is 30 by
60 inches. The house is 20 by 30
inches and is made with a tight floor.

Preservatives In Food.

Preservatives in Food.
The use of preservatives in our
food has been subject often dis.
cussed and even with our pure food
laws has not been settled.
All questionable preservatives are
more or less unwholesome, and when
taken into the body in any amount
will produce poisonous effects.
Borax Is widely used as preserv-
alive, especially In countries where
the market is at a distance from the
sources OF supply
The use OF borax seems to be fol-
lowed by no harmful results. but we
are not sure that many of the d.
gestive Ills may be caused by the con-
tinued use Of the drug in the food.
The only safe rule is to insist upon
having absolutely pure food. In the
home the use of such materials should
be unhesitatingly condemned: for
though they may produce no notice
able injury when used in small guam.
titles. it is not improbable that
daily use may cause trouble.
We have perfectly wholesome pre-
servatives. like sugar, salt, vinegar
and spices, though too much Of any
of these is not good. Sugar being a
food, the addition of it to our food
adds to the food value. Sugar is the
ideal preservative for fruits. Molds
and yeasts will not grow in solu.
ton containing considerable quan.
tity of sugar.
Fresh fish Is often rubbed with
sugar to preserve 1t for short time.
Condensed milk is preserved by add
Ing sugar; 1t changes the milk, but
does not injure 1t as a food
Salt Is another harmless preserva-
tive and Is the common one for the
keeping of pork, eggs. butter and fish.
Salt In too large a quantity is not
wholesome, and the food by the con-
tact of the salt Is somewhat changed,
making 1t less digestible. All salty
foods, like ham when too salt. pork
and fish should be well soaked in
water before cooking.
Acetic acid or vinegar is another
well-known preservative used to pre-
serve pickles of all kinds. The acid
serves two purposes, changes the fla
vor and at the same time keeps tho
pickles from spelling.
Spices. SO common in the home, are
good preservatives. Spice also serves
two purposes. favoring and preserv-
ing the food at the same time.
