FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Below we give you some facts that will interest you in case you are interested in electricity:
 Electricity is the cheapest light you can use; it's the best and safest. The meter rate for business houses is 10-cents the kilowatt hour and 12 1-2 for resi- dences. One kilo w a tt hour means the burning of l, ,00O watts for one hour: For instance the most practical sizes of lamps are the 40 and 60 watt and it takes a 40 watt lamp 25 hours to burn a kilowatt hour and 60 watt 16 2-3 hours. On short notice we can wire your house by the most approved methods of the underwriters. In lights and fix, lures we can furnish you any thing you want. G. r. Light | Co.

CARE FOR BROODER CHICKS
Losses During Breeding Period Cause Many Poultry Farms to FaiI--
 Classification of Devices.

(By PROF JOHN WILLARD BOLTE)
 A brooder is any device for hous- ing baby chicks and furnishing them with the protection and warmth that they get from the hen under natural conditions
 Like all domestic fowls, the baby chicken lacks the power to keep him. self warm enough to develop, and he must receive heat from outside sources at regular intervals, even in mild weather, or he will die. It is really remarkable how many different things can kill chicks, and it is the losses during the breeding period that cause thinking or he will fail.
 The use of artificial breeders is ab- solutely necessary where the eggs are matched in large numbers by incuba- tors, because it is hard to get hens to care for chicks which they have not matched, and it takes no more time or space to handle hundred chicks in a good brooder than to manage a hen and a dozen chicks.
 Hens will usually rear larger pro- portion of the chicks, though, because they call the babies to them when it grows cold or stormy; they are con- stantly on the lookout for danger, teach the chicks to eat and are always on the job. Mans inventive genius has developed breeding devices that do everything but think like a hen, and the man in charge must do the thinking or he will fail
 Breeding devices may be classified as follows:
 Indoor types-Fireless, lamp-heated, electric heated and continuous hot wa ter heated breeders.
 Outdoor types-Lamp-heated lamp heated colony house breeders and gas oline-heated colony house breeders.
 For the small poultry keeper who does not wish to use hens, we unhesi- tatingly recommend the use of the in door lamp-heated brooder Because of his modest requirements, the only other type of brooder that fits his needs is the individual outdoor lamp. heated type, and this device is too much exposed to the temperature changes to be safe for the amateur, unless he is about the place all day Fireless breeders are not advisable eX- cept for experts, as they derive their heat from the chicks themselves and the heat varies too much.

WATER FOR THE DUCKLINGS
Arrangement of Drinking Fountain H. Iustrated Will Be Found Useful
 in Keeping Them Dry.

Although the natural thing is to see ducks in water, when very young they should not be allowed to splash around in it. Ducklings should be kept as dry as possible until their feathers have formed. They have a habit of stopping the water around when drinking, and the arrangement of the drinking fountain illustrated will be found useful in keeping the ducklings dry.
 A piece of galvanized wire cloth, quarter-inch mesh, IS inches square, is tackled to a wooden frame and placed on the ground. If the soil IS gravelly or sandy the drainage will be good, but if not it is better to dig

Fine Mothers for Chicks.

Turkeys make fine mothers TOT chickens In France they persuade the turkey hen to sit before she has laid an egg. They fill box too mar row for the hen to stand upright in with hay to within twelve inches or the top, give the turkey good feed of grain and some eggs, fasten her down and leave till the next day, when she is taken off to feed and wa ter Tn four days it is claimed she is ready to adopt the nest and eggs and can be given the eggs to be matched.

Water Fountain for DuckIinas.

a hole about two feet deep and i'll It with small stones, over which the frame is placed on the wire screen Ill the center and fastened there. For very small ducks the weight of the fountain and the water it contains Will be sufficient to hold it in position and prevent it upsetting.
 This method of placing the fountain will allow for good drainage ot the water spilled around the fountain, and the ducks standing on the wire screen will be kept dry and not splashlng around in puddles of mud and water as is usually the case.
