cheese boxes. 25 chicks being kept
in each until two weeks old. The
number is gradually reduced 10 10
at four weeks of age. When six
weeks old the hovers are removed.
Two Sxl0-foot buildings are used
for brooder houses. There is a sand

sand inclosure attached To these
houses. After the chicks are four
weeks old they are given the run Of

glass front TO admit plenty Of light.
4 Nine birds are kept in each coop for
a week and are given a fattening ra-
tion to finish them for the market.
The chicks are not fed until as

given boiled infertile eggs mixed with
bread crumbs. No sloppy food is
given. Sour milk is always kept be-
