Little chickens stand in a class by
themselves in respect to their rapidity
OF growth. baby under normal con-
ditions should double it's original
weight in about one hundred and
eighty days, while a chick should dou-
bic its original weight in about six
days. This rapidity of growth on the
part OF chick naturally indicates a
wonderful power for digesting and as
similating food, and in order TO supply
this requirement relatively a large
amount of food should be provided, of
an easily digestible nature, and con
tanning the necessary nutritive princi-
pies in a somewhat concentrated form.
Carbohydrates, protein and ash con-
stituents are the three great classes
OF nutrients which must be provided in
liberal quantities for a growing chick.
Any of the common grains like corn
or wheat, contain plenty OF starch and
fat to supply the necessary amount of
carbohydrates required. Grains. how
ever, do not contain enough protein
for best results and consequently
something should be included in the
ration rich in heterogeneous materials
or protein. One of the best materials
that we have for this purpose on the
average farm is skim milk or butter
milk. Milk is rich in the materials
necessary for building up the muscular
system Of the chick, and IL also con-
tains large amount of ash constit u-
ents required by the chick 20 build
up its skeleton. There is nothing bet
ter suited for this purpose. In fact,
milk is elaborated by the cow for the
express purpose of supplying nutri-
ment to build up the bones and tissues
of her calf and when milk is skim
med only the fat contained in it is re-
moved, and when skim milk is fed to
chickens in connection with the ordi-
nary grains, the deficiency in respect
to the fat is made up by the starch
which is usually present in large
amounts.
Not only is sour skim milk or but
termilk ideal ia respect to it's compost
ton as a food for little chickens. but it
has been found that it is one of the
best remedies known where there is
any trouble from White Diarrhea. 1t

be fed once a day and when the un-
fertile eggs are used up, this mixture
or mash, as it is called, can be mois-
tened with sour Hailk. In addition to
the egg mixture, it is a good plan
to provide a dry mash for the little
chicks right from the start. This
mash may be fed in little fat, which
is merely box with sides about one
inch high, into which the little chicks
can jump. The mash is put in this
box and 1t is good plan to cut
piece Of wire netting and lay on top
of the feed so as to prevent the chick
ems from scratching it out and vast
ing 1t. This mash may consist of equal
parts of corn meal, wheat bran and
middlings to which say about 10 per
cent of beef scrap is added. 1t should
be fed in such quantities that the chick
ems are not compelled to eat it up
clean, some remaining in the box after
each days feeding. That which re-
mains should be removed every morn
ing, fed to older fowls, and a fresh
supply provided. This gives the chick
ems an opportunity, to a certain extent,
to balance their own rations as they
will pick out those particular parts of
the mash which they like best and
which best meet the needs of their
systems for growth.
In addition to the mash provided.
as outlined above, it is good plan to
scatter chick feed in the litter that
covers the floor of the brooder This
chick feed may consist of small
Mic Of IL
pin-head oatmeal or millet seed. When
this mixture of small pieces OF grain
is scattered in the litter, it induces
the chicks 10 take plenty of exercise,
and exercise is essential if the chicks
are expected to make a rapid growth.
Just as soon as possible the little
chicks should be allowed to get out
on the ground, because then they will
provide themselves with green stuff
and other materials necessary for
their growth. If incubators and brood
ers are not used, 1t is a good plan to
| put the mother hen in coop and keep
her shut in until the chickens are
weaned, allowing the chickens to have
/ free range. This is a labor-saving de-
/ vice and greatly simplifies the rearing
of little chickens.
To sum up the whole matter Feed
little chickens literally on a ration
which contains plenty of the materials
! suitable for growth. Sour skim milk
or buttermilk when fed along with a
suitable grain such as corn OF, in the
case of little chickens, corn meal or
cracked corn, will furnish all of the
necessary materials for best develop.
ment If skim milk is not available
then 1t Will usually be necessary to
I provide beef scraps in order to have
sufficient protein and ash constituents
in the ration.

One OF the most noticeable develop
ments OF recent years along agricul-
tural lines is the extraordinary activity
displayed in the erection of silos. Ten
years ago the silo was a novelty; now
they are so common as to cease to ex-
cite comment 1t is said that 10000
silos were erected last summer in the
state CT Iowa alone. No figures are
available for West Virginia, but the
number is quite large. In most sec
tention, or where the winter feeding
OF stock is the chief line Of farming
carried on, the silo is being adopted.
Practical experience has shown the
si!o to make big difference in the
amount Of feeding value to be obtain
ed from given acreage and scientific
experiments and deductions can read
lily show the reasons for this result.
In addition to the changes brought
about in the proteids and sugar OF the
corn plant by chemical and bacterial
actions, there are certain other
changes which render the material
much more palatable and much more
desired by live stock. Dairy COWS or
fattening animals will consume much
larger quantities and the usual waste
of the harder portions of stalks occa-
stoned by feeding fodder will be avoid
ed. The succulence OF silage is the
nearest substitute for pasture that can
be secured in the winter.

Small Yields


The United states, which for more
than a half century has pIumed itself

and climate that cannot be surpassed

country on the globe Notwithstanding
the natural advantages our farms pro-
duce an annual yield Of about ia bush.

within the structure.
1t is essential that silo have a good
solid foundation. For this purpose, a
hole of the proper diameter and three
or four feet deep is dug in the ground.
The bottom of this hole is then COW
cred with layer of concrete and ce-
ment, and the sides walled up for a
foot or two above the top with a heavy
concrete wall at least one foot thick.
On top of this wall the silo is built of
whatever material is to be used Care
must always be taken not to go into
the ground below where good drainage
can be secured to carry off the water
that would collect in the silo.
A common mistake made is to build
a silo too large. OF course, the size
should always be determined by the
amount of silage to be preserved. AS
silage is moist feed that soon decays
when exposed to the air, the silo
should be of such size as to permit OF
at least two inches of silage being re-
moved daily; hence the diameter is
determined by the number of cattle TO
be fed. To insure the removal of the
proper amount, surface layer OF not
more than six square feet should be
provided for each COW. A silo of small
diameter and good height is much
better than one of a greater diameter
and less height.
Before building silo, it is we'll to
consider the different kinds and the
advantages and disadvantages of each,
together with the cost, but it should
be remembered that the cheapest
kinds have often proven to be the most
expensive, owing to the fact that they
did not preserve the silage properly

Where corn fodder is allowed to

the weather there is a large loss of
