CARE FOR THE LITTLE CHICKS
Especial Attention Must be Given
During First Ten Days-EssentiaIs
for Successful Broodina.

(By Fl. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri Expert.
ment Station.)
New Matched chicks require special
food and care. especially during the
first ten days. After they are ten
days old the following mixture should
be kept in a trough where the chicks
can run to it at all times. Thirty
parts cornmeal, 80 parts wheat mid
lings, 10 parts pure beef scrap sifted
fine and one part bone meal, and
finely cut green food.
AS the chicks increase in size the
mixed chico food can be replaced by
coarser grains. At this stage It may
be advisable to feed a wet mash once
a day, about 4 p. m. The chicks
should be given no more feed than
they will eat up before going to
roost. AS they increase In size they
should have access to dry mash in
a hopper. where they can help them
selves.
Some essentials for successful
brooding are, clean food, consisting
Of both cracked grains and ground
feed; animal food, such as milk, but
termilk or commercial beef scraps;
extra bone-making material, such as
bonemeal; clear water; plenty of
comfortable dry quarters; free
dom from lice, and access to clean.

Those who raise clover seed on a

the growers are aware Of It or not.
Under the same conditions Of soil and

crop unless certain precautions are
taken. Many influences combine to
reduce the crop of seed. The worst
injuries to the seed are insidious in
their nature, and are caused by in
sects. These injuries are of three
classes: a. Those of a negative kind,
due to lack OF pollination. (2) The
positive injuries due to miscellaneous
insects that eat clover heads in an in.
cidental way. (S) The positive injuries
caused by insects that feed solely upon
clover seeds or fiorets. The first two
groups are relatively unimportant in
comparison with the last.
The importance Of the bumblebee in
the p~ollination of red clover is so we'll
established as to need no discussion.
That of the h~oneybee. however. 10 not
sunciently recognized. The honeybee
pollinizes clover to some extent, even
though Its tongue is two millimeters
shorter than the average coralla tube.
A field Of red clover is always
thronged with ~honeybees II any of
them are being kept within a mile or
two of the place; and these bees Sc
cure nectar from flowers that are un.
dersized, especially in times of
drought. when most of the flowers are
smaller than usual: also from flowers
that secrete a copious amount Of nee
tar. The bees. bumblebees especially,
should be protected always. They are
the best friends of the clover grower.
Early pasturing is the secret of a
good seed crop. as the growers in New
York, Ohio, Michigan and other states
have found. The explanation Is sim.
pie. The fact is that pasturing gives
a good seed crop for the q that
1t delays the heading Of the plant until
q time when the seed-midges and
seed chalcids are no longer on ths
wing and laying eggs. When precaa.
tons are not taken against these
pests. they a be counted upon every
year to destroy most OF the clover
seed. In some localities these two in

The combined efforts OF all the In

crop materially every year. Aside
from the occasional conspicuous in

drain on the plant through the attacks
of insects. This annual drain is not
