furnish heat in some artificial way if
il is colder than this. Having brood
er too warm is Just as injurious as
having no heat at all or not sufficient
heat to keep the chicks comfortable
To an old hand at the business, it is
easy to distinguish when the chicks
are comfortable. When they sprawl at
ease in the bottom of the brooder they
are usually comfortable; when they
stand around bumped up and cheeping
they are not comfortable, and that is
all there is to it. If they are not kept
in reasonable degree of comfort they
will not do well.
The brooder that appeals to me is
the one with the hover section warm
enough so the chicks will not crowd
each other, but spread out evenly over
the surface of the little room, after
being fed and watered and otherwise
cared for Then the feeding or eXer-
cising department should be cold
enough so that they will not linger
here after they secure a sufficient
amount of food. A chick will enjoy a
cool we'll ventilated apartment while
feeding. but they are nothing more
than babies, and after getting what
they want they should be able to crawl
under the warm breast of their mother
or of the best possible substitute and
sleep. The first two or three weeks Of
the clicks life is the most important
time in it's existence. If brought
through this period safely and given
reasonable amount of care afterward,
they will grow and mature steadily
and surely, the rapidity of maturity
being controlled to a great extent by
the chara cter of the feed given. For
breeders, / do not believe in rushing
them to maturity. but am of the opin
ion that a reasonably slow. steady and
healthy growth viii build up a stronger
constitution than a dollhouse forcing
system. Chicks for market should, of
course, be pushed the limit. There is
more money in them at two to two
and one-half pounds than at any time
afterwards. considering the care and
feed.
Another thing to be taken into con-
sideration: Incubator and brooder
chicks must have the strongest of par
ents If we wish to be successful. No
where does constitutional weakness
show forth more strongly than in a
bunch OF artihcially Matched and rear
ed chicks.
Free range stock will always give
the best results in producing eggs for
incubation by the artificial method. If
we wish high fertility We must keep
the breeding stock close to nature. If
we wish to incubate successfully, we
must get just as near the natural as
possible by artificial means; if we wish
the chicks TO grow and thrive. We
must initiate the ways of the old hen
in brooding.-By NJ. z. Long in Poul-
try Ideas.

THE PROBATION
OFFICER HAD A
BETTER MONTH
ACCOUNT SHOWS A DECREASE
OF ABOUT SIXTY PER CENT IN
THE NUMBER OF ARRESTS OF
JUVENILE oFFENDERs-MANY
CASES SETTLED WITHOUT AR
RESTS BEING MADE.

Probation Officer Paulsen is of the
opinion that the month Just closed
has been the most satisfa Glory one in
his line since he assumed the Office,
four and a half months ago, just after
it was established. In fact, from the
account of the probation officer it
looks as though the establishment of
this office is already resulting in good
and that the money expended for the
purpose is well invested.
The month just closed shows a de-
crease of about so per cent in the
number of arrests made in the Juvenile
department as compared with the first
two months after the court was estab-
lshed, according to Mr.. Paulsen. He
accounts for this decrease. in q large
measure, because of the fact that peo-
pie are just now learning that the
court is in operation and many COM
plants are now made to the probation
officer and settled outside of court.
which formerly were reported to the
police department and handled in that
way.
AS an instance of the decrease
shown. the probation officer says that
for the first two months he held office
he handled an average Of seven cases
per week through the police court,
whereas during the last two months
he has averaged about two cases per
week from this court.
More cases are turned over to him
by the city court than the county court
because the county officers do not ar
rest the juvenile offenders except at
the request of the probation officer.
While the number of arrests are de-
creasing. however, the work of the
Office is increasing, Mr.. Paulsen says.
He says each week he adjusts numer-
Gus cases Of which there is never any
record in either the police or county
court. However. this, he says, is what
he considers the object and purpose
of the court, to keep the juvenile
offenders out of the criminal courts.
