am glad to say that every season
that have brooded chicks by this
method, have learned something
about the proper temperature to be
maintained. My success with the last
brood has been remarkable. Of the
whole number OF chicks placed in the
brooder have 931a per cent of fine
active chicks remaining five weeks
afterward. [ think this success is
mostly due to my continuing the heat
at full height, almost without diminu-
tion ever since the beginning of the
brooding OF course the heat varies
in different parts of the room and at
different heights from the floor. l
select the position for my thermom-
eter IA thoroughly tested one) after
this fashion: When the chicks are
first placed in the brooder, around
the stove in center, regulate the heat
SO that the chicks dispose themselves
in a ring-or belt-around the stove
with the inner edge of the ring from
16 to 10 inches from the sides of the
stove. This belt of chicks will be
from foot to foot and half wide,
according to the number of chicks.
Hang the thermometer from the cell
ing by wire in such a manner that
the bulb of the instrument will be
six inches clear of the floor and six
inches back from the inner edge of
the belt of chicks, or just about over
the middle of the belt. Leave the
thermometer in same place until end
of brooding period. The temperature
to begin with will be found to be
about 80 degrees. My own plan is to
place thermometer where it will
register 81 degrees when the chicks
are settled in position, as described
at the beginning of the brooding
Just five weeks have elapsed since the
brooding began and the heat has never
been allowed to drop below 80 degrees
between bedtime and O'Clock in the
morning 100 degrees is the minimum
I desired). In the day time the heat
was allowed to drop to 85 degrees the
first fortnight and since then, by easy
gradations, to 80 degrees now. These

Both of these methods of brooding
call for great care and watchfulness.
The person who makes a failure Of
one method would be likely to have
equal ill success with the other. At
least that is my opinion. Of course a
failure with a room brooder means a
big loss but any one who can get good
results from bunch of lamp brooders
ought to be successful with the room
brooder.
