QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q-I made a purchase of some July
hatched chickens. They had had very
peor care and attention and we began

lose their feathers and are moulting very
freely. What is the cause?

pareDtly healthy and does not appear to
be at all roupv. What could be thecanse
A While it is of course not custom
ary for pullets to moult, especially when
so young, vet it is not at all impossible
for them to do so From what YOU saw
l am to believe that the trouble is due
largely to the feeding which the pulets
received prior to your having purchased
them, superinduced by the liberal guam
tity of feed allowed by Yourself. This
sort of feeding is calculated to make snv
fowl lose its cOat.even though it be pul.
let. l would advise you to continue your
method of feeding, and believe that the
birds will feather out and become nat

Colds sometimes develop slowly and other
times very rapidly. Treat the bird for
the cold at once or it may develop into
roup, if it has not already done so. Mix
two parts coal oil and one turpentine to

the bird and into the roof of the mouth.

taking CARE OF The YOUNG BROOD;
PREPARING Them FOR LIFE'S JOURNEY
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.

Brooders should be properly ventilated
and sufficient light admitted.
If these conditions are provided ano
the proper food given at the proper tune
the percentage of mortality Will be greatly
reduced and the profits increased.
The problem of feeding young chicks
is one that las been much experimental
with; and besides, is point on which
many poultrvmen differ Be this as it
may, a good method and one that has
been fairly successful will be found in the
! following As stated above, do not feed
| for at least SO hours: after which, Tor one
week, feed a mixture of grated STA e
bread crumbs and hard boiled egg, mois.
tened with scalded milk and squeezed
comparatively dry or to crumbIy con-
sistency. If you so desire, the egg may
be omitted and only the bread and milk
used, but in either case, the milk with
which it has been moistened should be
squeezed out until the mixture is almost
dry. Following this, feed the chicks a
good grain ration commonly referred to
as chick starter. 1t should be scattered
in the grain. The chicks should be fed
at first about five times each day, and
only enough at each feeding that thy
will clean up. The chick starter may be
continued until such time that the chicks
have sufficiently developed to allow the
feeding of larger or intermediate grain,
and likewise, this continued until they |
may be given the larger size Of cracked |
grain or scratch food which is fed to the
old fowls.
For the proper development OF chicks,
it is necessary that grit and charcoal
should be kept before them at all times,
from their babyhood up. OF course, at
first it should be very fine, and its size
as is the grain food. In addi
ton to this, keep before them bran, fine
Deefscrap and hone meal, and feed finely
chopped green food.

 The mechanical operation of launch ing the Arizona. which when ready to take the water will have q dead weight of 13,Oo0 tons, is by no means a simple or easy task. When the keel of the battleship was laid on March 16, 1914, more than q year ago, the stationary launching ways from which the New York had slipped into the waters. were left Tn position. and the Arizona was built above them. As the various picc- cs were fitted together. supporting beams were braced against the side of the vessel to relieve the blocks under the keel of the gradually increasing burden and at the present time these upright beams carry the largest DOT tion of the vessels weight.
 Although some two thousand tons of interior plates must still be fitted to the Arizona before she will he launched. the work of building the cradle" and sliding ways upon which the vessel will pass by gravity over the heavily grcaScd stationary ways into the water, has already been begun.
 When launched the Arizona will he completed as to her hull. interior or nor and boilers, but d full year and a half will be required after she first takes the water before she can be com pletely fitted out. When this is done she will he placed in drydock while her propellers are installed and a fresh coat Nof paint is applied to her bottom be- fore she formally begins her career in the service of the country.
 Officially the Arizona is known only as BattIeship 29. as she has not vet been christened. She is sister ship to the PennaYlVania, but will differ in the respect that she will burn oil fuel and will be equipped with different form of propeling machinery. The AriZona's $ measurements are: Length over all eos feet: breadth. 97 feet F inch: displacement. 31,400 tons: mean craft, 2S feet inches. and total oil fuel storage capacity, 2,922 tons The Arizona will have a speed of at least tWenty knots and will carry an armament. including a main bat tery consisting of twelve 14-inch guns and four submerged torpedo tubes: d secondary battery of twenty-two 5 inch rapid-fire guns four 3-pound sa- lIting guns. two 1-pound guns for boats, two .-inch field pieces and two .3D-cal;ber machine guns Her total cost when completed will be somewhat more than s130O0000
