| think you all understand that
principle. Therefore for best results,
absolute control must be had of the
admission of the outside air into the
brooder, so that it can be admitted or
excluded according to the outside
temperature and the requirements of
the chicks. 1t can be easily seen that
il the same amount of cold air was
cold for baby chicks, while it would
be too warm for them at about six
weeks of age. A gradual decrease in
temperature is what is needed. Ii
there is no means whereby this in
crease is made, failure is sure to
follow.
The best place to operate a hreless
brooder is unquestionably in brooder
house, constructed for convenience,
it enables the operator to do his work
in the dry. Also provides dry place
for the chicks outside of brooders for
exercise. Without sufficient exercise
for chicks it is impossible to raise
strong, hardy chickens that will grow
up into money makers for their
owner. If they are kept in a very
small space too long, their vitality
suffers in consequence. The tireless
brooder is the most practical for
faDcier, farmer and commercial
poultry raiser. A few chicks may be
raised when and wherever you want
to. Large numbers can be handled
with less labor and expense than in
any other way. One man can care for
1000 to 5000 chicks in freless
brooders, depending on the convenient
arrangements of brooders, the ex-

with the president and secretary so
that they can be ordered in large
quantities and thus save the growers
money in the purchase.
The meeting was attended by
number of enthusiastic mel who
realize the necessity of making their
land yield greater returns in this
vicinity. The East Hill is especially
adapted to the strawberries and there
is already a large acreage planted and
many more will be planted this
spring. President Williams spoke of
the benefits combined in raising of
berries, poultry and bees on the same
ground, saying it was the most sue
cessful and profitable way to farm in
this district. John A. Stewart,
the we'll known nurseryman of
Christopher, gave some excellent adj
vice as to starting berry fields. In

Berry Growers Organize.

A most enthusiastic meeting Of
berry growers was held at the Grange
hall north Of Kent Saturday, Jan
uary 10. After considerable dis
cussion as to the best berries to
plant, best soil and berry markets, it
was decided to form an organization to
be known as the White River Berry d
Fruit Growers Association of Kent,
with headquarters at Kent. There
we're abont 30 men in attendance, Is
of whom joined the Association, and
many more are joining.
L. Y. Williams, who has had
splendid success in raising berries
near this city was made president
of the Association; g. HI. Cottrell Of
the East Hill vice president and j. D.

decided to ask all those who desire to
plant berries to leave their orders

Breeders and Their Operation
By Capt. A. Waldwick.


Now that another season for the
Matching and raising of chickens is
approaching, the poultry raiser natur-
ally begins to look about for the best
way and method for raising of his
chicks. The most practical, easiest
and cheapest way and at the same
time the way or method that raises
the best chicks, is what the poultry
man should adopt. Whoever has
raised chickens knows the old hen
method, and nothing need be said
about that.
A great many have used the lamp
heated brooders with varying results.
We know what it meant to trim and
fill lamps, get up in the middle of
the night to look after the chicks and
lamps. Not few have gone to bed
at night with everything apparan thy
all right, but before morning has had
chick, brooders, brooder houses and
other property go up in smoke.
There has been failure after failure
in the poultry business on account OF
fire caused by brooder lamps. Many
men have given up on account of the
drudgery caused by the continued
care and watchfulness made necessary
by the lamp heated brOOders
Another serious difficulty when US
ing lamp heated brooders is the likeli-
hood of overheating the chicks, vitiat-
ing the air they breathe, and as
result of these conditions weakening
their vitality.
The writer's experience is that the
best chicks are raised in good fireless
brooders, with less labor and expense
than with the heated brooder. 1t is
an established fact that chicks reared
in a properly constructed hreless
brooder grow faster, mature more
quickly, are stronger and better In
every way than those reared in lamp
heated breeders, or even under hens.
Yes even under hens!
The reason for this is not far to
seek. When chicks run with hens
they often get chilled because the
hen will not stop to hover them when
they need it, To be successful in the
operation of a hreless brooder, the
hover should be adjusted to the size
of the chicks as they grow up, there
by increasing heights of brooding
chamber, and also admitting a large
space for air and ventilation. Venti-
lation should be arranged for in such
a way as to enable the operator to
have full control of conditions in
brooders at all times. The most COM
mon fault with fireless brooders today
is that there is no way whereby the
ventilation is controlled. In cold
weather less ventilation should be
admitted than in warmer weather, for
the greater the difference between
the outside and inside temperature
the greater will be the amount of air
that will pass through the broOder.

perience and activity of the person
doing the work. This would be i'm
possible under any other method or
system of brooding.
