FEEDING CHICKS AND cl. ovylsG STOCK

I'VE have found the best method of
feeding to be what is termed hopper
feeding. Practically all the feed IS in
the dry form. For small chicks up to
eight weeks old we have never found
anything which will put ON more
growth than the high-class grades Of
commercial chick feeds.
z For the first few days sprinkle
the smallest sizes Of this feed thickly
where the young chicks are. 80 that
every time they pick they get grain.
Az soon as they begin to come outside
the coop, which ID in two or three
days, all the feed is placed in hoppers
made on the same general principle
as our larger ones.
Many farmers neglect to furnish
their chicks with meat food. This Is
essential II one wants to get the proper
amount OF growth. 1t Is best supplied
in tbs form of beef SCRAPS Don't set
cheap scrap. The best balances the
ration so that you will get the best
possible benefit from the grain feeds.
We place this In the hopper SO the
chicks can help themselves They do
not eat more than they Will need. Tho
feed hoppers should not be allowed to
get wet or tho feed is liable to spoil
Good hoppers and a little care will
prevent this. The feed is always clean
and there Is always feed ready when
the chick IS hungry. How much better

only by attacking the insects and for
this class poisons are Of no avail.
Apple scab. brown rot Of plums and
peaches. potato rot. blight. rust and
other destructive plant diseases are
commonly, ascribed to weather con-
ditions. Indirectly this is often true.
but neither rain nor drought nor any
other atmospheric condition is ever
directly the cause of plant diseases.
Rainy weather does not directly
cause plum rot. but provides condi-
tons favorable to the development OF
the fungus, and probably unfavorable
conditions for the development OF the
>lum and its ability to resist the
evasion Of the disease.
Fungi (plant diseases) are propa-
ated by spores, minute bodies which
nay float in the air and are usually
90 small to be discerned singly with
mt using compound microscope.
These spores alight on leaf or fruit
md under favorable conditions Of heat
and moisture terminate. giving rise to
shrcadlike projections which pene-
trate the plants tissues.

than for the chicks to &C AROUND hail
starved for several hours and then
when feed Is finally thrown out to
them they will gorge themselves. =
We have often been able to get from
the baker a lot of stale bread (not
moldy).' This bread usually sells at
half price or less and is about as
cheap as the commercial chick feeds
pound for pound. This bread is soaked
in milk and then squeezed out dry and
fed to the chicks every day or two as
an extra feed. 1t is one of the best
growers one can get.
It does not pay to feed cheap feeds
or sparingly if one wants to make
good profit out of their poultry. 1t is
mistake to think that poultry can
pick up its own living during the
early spring, months unless one has
q very small drove If they have feed

Making Bordeaux Mixture.

The following formula for Bordeaux
Mixture is used as q preventive Of
sfungous diseases, as potato blight
apple scab. etc. Various formulas are
quoted. but the following is now
accepted as safe and reliable:
Copper sulfate. lbs: Fresh limo.
8 lbs; Water. SO gals.
Either arsenate of lead or Paris
green may be safely combined with
Bordeaux mixture. In fact, In all
orchard spraying operations It has
come to be common practice to add
either Paris green or arsenate Of lead
to Bordeaux at every application. BY
this means biting insects and fungi are
controlled at single operation. No
other fact is more important than this
in spraying.
Arsenate Of lead is poison for
biting insects and Is less liable to
injure foliage than Paris green. II
remains longer in suspension. It
adheres better to foliage. It may be
used for any purpose for which Paris
green is employed in liquid sprays
The formula Is: Arsenate Of lead.
to 3 lbs: Water SO gals.
