ATTENTION TO CHICKS
WARM BRoopER AND PROPER RA,
TON ARE ESSENTIAL.
Eggs Should Be From Carefully Sc.
lected Stock, We'll Fed and
Housed to Produce Sturdy ,
Stock-What to Feed,

CBy DR. SANBORN. Holden, Mass. Copy
right. l9li.)
There is less fuss In rearing of
chicks than a few years ago. A warm
brooder. some fine litter, cracked grain
and grit, with perhaps a mash con.
tanning ground grain and animal food,
and you should raise 80 per cent of
the chicks.
Every chick deserves to be well
Matched. of sturdy ancestry and prop
erly reared. The eggs should be from
carefully selected stock, we'll housed
and fed, to produce chicks that stand
adverse conditions. The hen or incu.
bator should do its part well, as many
a slip Is made between the laying of
the EGG and the Matching Of the chick.
l prefer the lamp heated brooder to
either the hen or the heatless brooder,
for while some hens do good brooding
and In some seasons you can raise
good chicks with the flreless brooder,
yet for easy, successful brooding of
30 chicks my preference is for the
heated brooder.
The chicks, when dry, are taken
from the hen or machine and trans.
ferred to the well warmed brooder.
prefer 1t should be fully as warm un.
der the hover as was the incubator,
then. IL too hot, the chicks can be
spread out into the less warm part of
the brooder floor, or If at any hour
the temperature drops the chicks can
retire to a warmer place under the
hover.
B.. What to Feed --hem.
At the start the chicks get cool wa.
ter to drink and only the food that is
in the barn waste is used to cover the
brooder floor. Really they need no
food, and what they find in the waste
is plenty. When a few days old they
need light feeding Of cracked wheat,
good fish or beef scrap personally !
have found nothing better than a good
grade Of fish scrap) added at eight
days Of age and finely cracked, dry
corn at ten to twelve days. It is i'm
portant that all chick feed be sound,
sweet and clean. Avoid musty corn,
scrap that Is fit only for fertilizer,
and stale drinking water. Unless
there is some grit in the barn waste
that Is used for brooder floor it should
be supplied. Chicks need a warm
place to retire to when cold, an open
room to get out into and exercise, as
well as a grass run to range over
when two weeks old. Close confine.
ment to hot brooders tends to give
leg weakness. AS the chicks grow
in age the heat Of the brooder can be
reduced to about 80 degrees. Too
many chicks are Matched that are
doomed to die because from weak
stock or incubated wrongly, but the
blame is usually laid on the brooder.
Yearling hens make the best Of breed.

VALUABLE HINT FOR FARMER
~propplnss From 1000 Fowls, n Prop.
erly Cared For VIII Return
Profit Of $500 Yearly.

The p%oultryman or farmer can ma,
torially add to the profits Of his bust.
ness by properly caring for the drop
pings Of his fowls. For example, It is
shown that the droppings from 1000
fowls II preserved without needless
loss are worth at least $500 per an
mum, and this estimate is based on
the assumption that less than half of
the droppings, or only 80 pounds per
hen per year. a be collected.
According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected daily,
and mixed with substances which will
(1) prevent loss Of nitrogen. (2) add
sufficient potash and phosphoric acid
to make a better balanced fertilizer,
and (3) improve the mechanical con-
dition Of the manure so that 1t can
be applied to the land with a manure
spreader.
This a be done as follows: To
each 80 pounds of the manure add 10
pounds Of sawdust, good dried loan,
or peat. 16 pounds Of acid phosphate.
and 8 pounds of kainit. Such a mix.
ture will contain about LBS per cent
OF nitrogen. as per cent Of p%hosphoric
acid, and 2 per cent Of potash, which.
used at the rate of 3 tons per acre
would furnish 80 pound of nitrogen,
1s5 pounds Of %phosphoric acid, and 80
pounds Of potash. and at the present
price Of fertilizing ingredients is worth
about $40 per ton. The mixture would
furnish a well-balanced stable fertil.
izer, which, although not fine enough
to work well in drills, car be Gee
fully applied with Q manure spreader.
The treated manure should be well
sheltered until time to apply to the
land-that is. shortly before blowing.

DOES NOT CAUSE SOIL ACID
Doubtful n Small Amount Of Land
Plaster Generally Applied Has
Any Serious Effect

The fear that the application of
land plaster makes soils acid, Is I'M
founded. At least 1t Is doubtful II
the small amount generally applied
has any serious and immediate in
tiuence upon the acidity Of the soil.
This is the belief Of q. B. Hart Of
the College Of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. who from time
to time has carried On numerous ex-
periments to determine the influence
Of applying land plaster. rock phos-
phate and other fertilizers to fields
upon which various crop rotations
were followed. =.
The theory that land plaster ap-
piled to soil would make 1t acid, is
based on the assumption that the
plants remove from the soil more
calcium than sulphur, thereby leaving
behind a greater proportion Of the
acid part Of the land plaster. On the
contrary. It has been shown that the
common cereals. wheat. oats. orr.
barley and such other plants az the
turnip, rutabaga. cabbage and onion.
make positively greater demands for
sulphur than for calcium and appli-
cations Of land plaster for such crops
will tend to make the soils alkaline
rather than acid. Such plants as
the meadow grasses, clover, alfalfa.
sugar beets and tobacco. use more
calcium than sulphur and In their
case the application Of land plaster
would have q tendency toward devel.
oping acid soil. Potatoes use about
equal amounts Of calcium and sui
phur. and land plaster could not pos
sibly influence soil reaction in this
case.
