DUST BATH is A NECESSITY
Fine Particles Close Pores of Little
insects and Suffccate Them
Any Dry Dirt Is Good.

In every poultry house there should
be a dust bath, where the hens may
get rid of lice. Poultry lice breathe
through pores in their sides, and fine
dust fills these pores and suffocates
the vermin. Road dust. hard coal
ashes, or dry dirt of any kind, will
accomplish the purpose. Wood ashes,
if damp, may stain the feathers and
otherwise harm the fowls.
Sometimes, If the hens are badly in
tested. Persian insect powder may be
added to the material in the dust
bath. A tight box, three feet by three
feet, and one foot deep, is a good re-
ceptacle for the dust. 1t should be
placed where the sun can shine on 1t,
as many hours as possible; for, when
the hens are not exercising by
scratching for their feed, they will
spend good deal of their time in
the dust bath, which induces exercise.
The hens will not use the bath
freely unless the air is warm, for they
dislike to open their feathers and eX-
pose their bodies to air below 60 de-
grees.

half OF the Centaur Company OF New

FEEDING THE YOUNG CHICKS
Haro-6oiIed Eggs, Stale Bread Crumbs
and Milk, Oatmeal or Rolled Oats
Are Recommended.
By ALICE MFEELY. University Farm,

(By ALICE M'FEELY. University Farm,
St. Paul. Mimi
When Matched the chick contains
natural supply of food, sufficient for
thirty-six hours. For this reason it
should not be fed until this natural
food is absorbed and it is able to run
about and seek food for itself.
This first feed should consist of
hard-boiled egg (shell and all mashed
together), stale bread crumbs, stale
bread and milk, pin-head oatmeal or
rolled oats. ANY of these will be
found a satisfactory food for the first
two or three days. For brooder chicks
the dry feeds are recommended.
Chicks should be fed these feeds on
a broad or shallow pan and what is
not eaten within ten minutes or so
should be removed from the pen and
the board or dish cleaned. Five meals
a day is sufficient, though If con-
venient they may be fed more oft
en- and in smaller amounts. After the
first few days, these feeds should be
replaced with such grains as finely
cracked corn, pin-head oatmeal, crack
ed wheat and millet seed
The prepared and already mixed
chick-feeds that are found on the
market are usually satisfactory. Corn
bread baked rather hard or dry),
either dry or moistened slightly with
sweet milk, pieces of stale bread, cot
tage cheese, and similar articles of
diet make delicacies that are relished
by the young chicks, if fed occasion
ally. The manner and time of feed
ing these is immaterial if the chicks
are not overfed, but the hard grain
and seeds should be fed in litter of
cut straw, cut hay, hay chaff, or cut
alfalfa or clover. Some form OF green
food should also be given.
Pure water should be supplied, suf-
fcient for days requirement, each
morning. If possible, milk should be
given in addition to the water; for
young chicks, the milk should be per-
fectly sweet. A good rule to follow
is to keen chickens busy and hungry.
Do not feed them until they are hun
sry enough to run for the food. They
will not develop quite so rapidly IN
der this method, but will be health
