GREAT DANGERS TO CHICKS
Chilling and Lice Cause More Loss to
the Poultryman Than Any
Other Two Causes.

By W. z. vAPLON, Poultryman, Colo
RADIO Agricultural College)
The greatest enemy of the chick
and that which causes more loss than
any other one cause, is chilling; the
second enemy in importance because
of amount of loss Is lice; both lice and
chilling are the indirect cause Of bowel
troubles, because both sap the vitality
and life Of the chick, making 1t impos-
sible for the little fellow to resist the
organisms of disease which are always
ready to attack it.
busting the setting hen helps, but
some lice are quite sure to escape, and
can later be found on the head of the
chick; rub little dab of lard on top
Of the chicks head, getting 1t into the
down thoroughly, and you will get
these; repeat the dose In a week, and
II the hen Is furnished good busting
place, the lice are not likely to give
any more trouble; but whenever you
see chick that seems unhappy. eyes
closed. droopy. look for lice.
The brood coops should be thorough
ly sprayed before using with some
coal tar preparation. sheep dip white
wash. or mixture Of four parts coal
oil and one part crude carbolic acid:
1t pays to be ahead, and that explains
why SO few Of US are making anything
on our poultry; we neglect these little
things: because Of neglect disease
gets the start OF US, we become dis
couraged because OF the losses. and
give up and blame our luck. when all
the bad luck might have been pre-
vented by a little careful preparation.
Give the chicks a clean place. all
the heat they can stand. keep them
free from vermin. and you can safely
count them before they are raised.

Farmers Hate to Write Letters

In the current issue OF Farm and
Preside a professor in the Arizona
Agricultural College is quoted as
saying that he has observed that the
most successful farmers are the
ones who are readiest to answer
letters and TO respond to circulars
sent out by the college. II is a rule of
the business world that one who does
not reply to letters is a poor BUSH
ness man; and people doing business
with farmers complain that they are
more likely than any other class
OF men to fail in answering business
letters. The explanation Is that
farmers work longer hours, more
days in the year, and live under con-
ditions which make letter writing
difficult.

FARM FACTS
Nv Peter Radford

The need OF the rural communities
today is intelligent and consecrated
leadership.
The farm is the power house OF all
progress and the birthplace OF all
that is noble.
The farm is the nursery OF civil
ination and the parsonage of all re-
ligious denominations.
The farmer asks no special priv
ileges The business Of farming on
ly wants the same opportunities az
forded other lines OF industry.
It.is as much a duty Of the country
pastor to exhort us to own a home
while on earth as IL is to inspire us
10 build a mansion in the skies.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are trinity OF powerful in
fluences that the farmer must utilize
10 their fullest capacity before he
can occupy a commanding position
in public affairs.
