have bowel trouble? There may be
various reasons, but the actual facts
are that most all troubles of
this nature are due to either
improper care or improper feeding.
BY the latter we include improper
housing. insufficient heat and various
other items too numerous to mention.
AS to Brooder Chicks
AS rule, a greater proportion of
brooder than hen-raised chicks are
lost. This is through bowel troubles,
due to the fact that the operator is
afraid of over-heating the chicks.
There is little danger of this if the
brooder is properly constructed, be-
cause, if too warm. chicks will retreat
just a sufficient distance from the
brooder to be comfortable. On the
other hand. If the hover is not sufIi-
ciently warm, the chicks have no.
where to go for heat, and soon chill
This chill affects the digestive organs
and bowel trouble results.
An experienced brooder operator
needs no thermometer. The chicks
themselves furnish a better clue TO
ideal conditions than, any thermom-
eter. The observing operator soon
lie. ms when they are comfortable and
also when they are not. He is not mis-
led into thinking that his brooders
need more air when he finds a few
CIiChS SInOLnereQ IN the morning.
Better keep the hover too warm by
far than the least bit too cold. Hover
chicks can and will get away from too
much heat, but cannot get away from
the cold.
Hen-reared chicks get chilled. too,
but the hen can usually keep the
chick warm. In the early Spring she
is provided with suitable protection
and she protects the chicks from cold
at necessary intervals. Later in the
season, when allowed the freedom of
the earth, one temptation to her to 20
out is juicy worms, but in getting them
she gets wet with the dew, which is
bad for the little chicks, as they are
not as vet able to withstand the damp
ness. Small chicks should then be
confined to the coops or houses dur
ing the night and in the morning until
the sun has thoroughly dried and
warmed the ground, when they should
be allowed to roam at will on pleasant
days with the mother hen.
Attention to Feeding
lt is, OF course, absolutely necessary
that all the food given chicks of tender
age should be the sweetest and most
wholesome, but that is not all. Some
Investigators have found that the first
feed should be withheld for TWENTY
four hours after Matching: another has
decreed that thirty-six hours is the
proper time, while another goes IN
the extreme of directing that the first
feed should be given seventy-two hours
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-03-27

termed the feathering age, may be
said to extend from two weeks to SIX
weeks of age. Coarser and somewhat
cheaper foods may be fed The tlnely
cracked grains may be now gradually
replaced by wheat and cracked corn
of the ordinary size. The number of
hard grain feeds may be reduced
gradually from five to three.
At ten days or two weeks of age it
is advisable to feed a dry mash. The
base of this is wheat bran, but the in
gradients and proportions may vary
considerably without affecting the re-
suits as determined by the chicks
health and growth. Equal parts of
wheat and bran, corn meal and ground
oats which have been passed through
a fine sieve to remove the hulls make
a mash that is about as good as those
of more complicated composition.
During this age, the system demands
large amounts of protein and ash. To
provide these constituents add to this
mash five per cent. of beef scraps that
have been we'll and thoroughly pre-
pared, and are sweet, and from ten to
fifteen per cent, of the bone meal.
The third stage, or what might be
termed the range age" may be said
to exist after the chicks are from six
or eight weeks old until maturity
Nearly all dangers of losses by dis
ease having now passed, all sorts of
economies, both in foods and labor,
should be practiced, such as allowing
free range and hopper feeding, etc.
Placing the House
Place the house or coop so that it
receives the earliest morning rays of
the sun. Provide shade, but let the
chicks chose it. Do not place the
house in the shade. The chicks will
grow faster and will be healthier if
YOU do not. 1t has been tried season
after season.
The essential features of successful
chicken raising often overlooked are:
TO keep them warm, to protect them
from dampness, to destroy lice of all
kinds by rational methods, to provide
grit and an even balance of the diff
ferent kinds of food necessary, viz,
grains, green's, grit and mineral mat
ter Seventy-five to ninety per cent.
of all normal chicks hatched should
be raised to maturity unless de-
stroyed by some natural enemy.

lanky and feather out and are not
again in good table condition until
they reach maturity and at that time
their flesh is not to be compared to
certain other breeds of poultry.
The fowls are hardy, active, excel
lent foragers and small eaters and are
of rather wild disposition. They do
better on free range than in limited
quarters. In fact it is difficult to keep
them successfully in small yards
In size and shape they resemble our
own well-known White Leghorn, but
in coloration are strikingly different
from any other known variety of pouI-
try.
In both sexes the body color is
white and the neck, tail and saddle
hackles are jet black. This colorins
is not easily attainable and it is a con-
tinuous breeding problem with the

This is one of the old breeds of Hol-
land, from whence it was introduced
to England. Germany and America.
The first specimens of the variety
made their appearance in America
only about a dozen years ago, although
the breed has been known for up
wards of eighty years in Holland. 1t

Like all the small, lighter bodied
races, the Lakenvelder is a layer. It
produces large number of eggs, each
year, that are described as being of
porcelain whiteness and of fair size.
1t is not in any sense a table fowl,
though, like all the lighter bodied
fowls such as Leghorns, Anconas,
Campines, etc, it is excellent for the
production of 'squab broilers" to be
sold at from q to one pound weight.
This is due to the quick growth of the
chicks during that period (about seven
weeks). After that the chicks grow

The subject of heavy losses among
chicks has been the great problem for
years among poultry raisers It has
been deeply investigated, with the re-
suit that experts now know pretty well
what to do to insure the raising of q
large percentage of the young.
What and when to feed the young
seems to have been proven to be the
most important problem to solve. OF
course, there are other causes of dis
ease among chicks, such as exposure
10 cold, bad ventilation, lack of exer-
else at the proper age, but If the feed
ing problem is solved the poultryman
can figure he has won a big battle.
The following article handles the
subject in broad and instructive man.
ner.
The great loss of chick life has been
studied long and diligently, and be-
cause the loss was not prevented, the
students came to the conclusion that
for these big losses, which have sound
ed the death-knell of many large un-
dertalSings of this character.
No one in these days disputes the
germ theory of disease, but germs or
no germs, chicks that hatch strong
and normally should be and can be
raised if properly fed and cared for.
Eight or nine-tenths of the losses can
be attributed to improper care or i'm
proper feeding.
To avoid the technical side of the
case and still deal with facts as they
are, most of the losses by disease oc-
cur while the chick is still young, be-
fore it becomes three weeks old per-
haps we might say two weeks or ten
days old. Head lice kill many, it is
true, but bowel trouble of one form or
another is responsible for the death of
a great majority. Why should they

only been possible through the inn
proved appliances for brooding
tested out by long experience.
The natural method of raising
the young would be all but impos-
