THE DAY OLD CHICK INDUSTRY.
BY Elizabeth Clark Hardy.

There is good money in the day old
chick industry, both to the buyer and
the seller In going into the poultry
teur tc learn is to make haste slowly,
instead of investing too much money
in an untried industry. A woman may
raise n few hundred chickens on a
small lot, without investing in an in
cubator and high priced eggs. 1t will
be much cheaper for her to buy day
old chicks. and in caring for them she
will learn some valuable lessons, and
gain fair working knowledge Of
poultry business. In the spring there
will always be found advertisements
in the agricultural papers for the sale
of baby chickens. and these may be
bought with but little risk to the pur-
chaser. for II any should die during
transportation the seller will always
replace them free OF cost.
The price OF day old chicks range
from 4 to 20 cents, according to the
breed. 1t is not advisable to buy the
cheapest grade as they usually come
from weak parent stock. and inferior
chicks are Improbable to raise wheth-
er they come from the hatcheries or
are hatched at home. But 1t is much
safer and cheaper to buy day old
chicks from reliable dealer than to
buy eggs for Matching, as in buying
chicks you get guarantee OF safe ar
rival and full count, while in buying
eggs you have to take your chances,
and sometimes they are disappoint-
Ing.
In starting In with day old chicks
one must, of course. understand some
thing about their care and feeding or
things will go wrong. but until one
has had some experience with an In
cubator things are likely to go
wrong, which is still more expensive.
and chick In the hand is worth two
eggs in the incubator.
OF course when chicks have been
ordered preparation for their care
must be made. Warm brooders must

HATcHiNo AND BRoopINe.
BY kathrlne Atherton Grimes.

The boy with ten to twenty fowls
will probably do most of his Matching
with hens. But where the breed kept
is of some non'sitting variety, the in.
cubator becomes almost a necessity,
especially IL one wishes to get early
chicks-the only ones that pay well.
For flock of this size, a 50-eggs
machine is plenty large enough, and,
as these may be had at quite small
cost, 1t is about as well to use one
OF these, and let the hens go on sit
ting. The eggs they will lay while
it is doing their Matching for them will
soon pay for the machine.
II an incubator is not used, the best
plan is to get hold of some-two-year-
old hens, of one of the large, quiet
broods, and keep them just for sit
ting. II they are fed for eggs from
November on, they will be ready for
business by March. Even with q
machine, half a dozen hens Of this
kind will prove good investment, for
reasons which you will see a little
farther on. They may be disposed of
as soon as their work is done, SO one
need not be out much except their
feed to secure their services during
the Matching season.
Those who have had considerable ex-
perience with incubators tell us that
ban.batched chicks are usually the
most vigorous. Even the best incuba-
tor is likely to turn out few weakly
or crippled chicks with each hatch.
But the machine is far more likely
than the hen to behave well at the
critical time when the fluffy babies are
coming out OF the she'll, so, as the say
ing is, 1t is about six of one, and half
"a dozen of the other"
A system that makes out to take
advantage OF the good points and
avoid the worst drawbacks of both,
has been devised, and carried out with
good results. The plan is to put the
eggs under the hens for the first two
weeks, and then remove them to the
incubator. and let 1t finish up the

1t Is not absolutely necessary to
test the eggs, but 1t is best to do SO.
/ usually test eggs after the morning
of the eighteenth day. The chick is
full formed by this time; the eggs do
not need turning.
Do not open the egg chamber after
the chicks begin to pip the shell. This
rule is not invariable, but the only ex-
ception is to take out the chicks when
very good hatch Is secured and
they crowd to the light in the door,
Then open the door, roll the chicks
out into basket and close the door
as soon as possible.
Don't try to help a chick out of the
shell. If it cannot get out without
help 1t Is not worth saving.
Don't worry If ythe chicks gasp and
struggle for breath. This is natures
way of opening up the lungs and CIV
ing the chickens strength.
Don't worry about the machine. If
the temperature the first week is be-
tween 101 and 103 degrees it is good
enough! only try to keep it about 103.
1t will not hurt anything II the tenn
perature happens to run down to 95
degrees some night.
Don't be alarmed II the tempera-
ture gets up to as high as los degrees
for an hour or SO. Simply take the
eggs out and let them cool and change
the regulator little. If very good
hatch is coming off the temperature
will rise the last week.
In warm weather have often taken
the lamp away from the machine dur
ing the middle of the day. At this
time the animal heat of the chicks
tends to increase the temperature and
104 degrees Is common.
Be sure to get perfectly fresh eggs
from healthy hens. Use only the best
grade of oil. Fill and trim the lamp
in the afternoon rather than in the
morning and do this every day.
Do not trim the lamp wick with
scissors, but gently rub the charred
part of 80 as to give an even, broad
fame.
II these directions are followed a
good hatch may be anticipated. They
are based on an experience reaching
back to about 1884.

be provided and suitable runways and
food. AS soon as the chicks arrive
they must be taken from the crate one
at time, their bills dipped in water
and then put Immediately into a
warm brooder. If they are 4S hours
old they should be fed with hard boil
ed egg and dry bread crumbs, but care
must be taken not to give them sloppy
food or to overfeed at any time, they
must have plenty of fresh water and
their runways and brooders must be
kept clean and dry.
On the other hand, If one is in the
poultry business for keeps there is a
good profit in selling baby chicks.
With two or three good incubators one
may hatch and sell several thousand
in season with much less labor than
to raise them to maturity, and with
good profit. There is but little risk in
shipping chicks. They have been
known to have been shipped 1000
miles and to have arrived at their des-
tination none the worse for their jour
ney.
In March, April and May the supply
OF day old chicks never quite equals
the demand and in July and August
the business is fairly good. In Sep
tember and October it again increases,
but later than this we would not ad-
wise shipping them, as the risk from
cold is too great in northern states.
In raising chicks to be shipped great
care should be taken to keep the
breeding stock strong and vigorous.
They should be given plenty of fresh
air and exercise and their food should
be such as will produce bone and mus
Gle instead Of fat. Run down stock
always produce weak chicks, and weak
chicks are an Improbable investment
both to buyer and seller. 1t is not
advisable to buy eggs from hatchers
who have mixed breeds and sell
named chicks.
A good crate for shipping chicks
may be made OF shallow box FIVE
inches deep by IL wide and 80 long.
Some chaff or sawdust may be put in
the bottom and the crate lined with
burlap or some coarse meshed mate
rial to give the little fellows a foot.

writes: Their boots are made OF rein
deer skin and are worn very large. and
the toes are pointed and curve upward
so as to be easily slipped into their skis.
The Lapp usually ILLS his boots half
full with peculiar green grass. into
which he thrusts his naked feet. He
then packs the boots full with more
grass tucks the ends of his trousers
inside and binds them tightly round
with many turns of brightly woven
braid With these precautions they
never suffer from cold feet. and chill

paints are an unknown horror to
