THE OLD BLUE HEN.

] a prominent farmer living in the
! southern part of Sussex has a most re-
| markable hen. Several years ago this
gentleman formed a habit of visiting our
! poultry plant, once and sometimes twice
each year. While he has made a success
OF farming, he has never gotten beyond
| the ''old hem in poultry raising. He
( always has new and most interesting
story to tell us about an ''Old blue hen"
/ that he owns. which he claims is now
more than twelve years old and from all
accounts has laid many hundred eggs
during her lifetime. He says no matter
when he visits the poultry house. this
''old hem can invariably be found on
her nest depositing her pearly egg. She
no doubt is descendant of the family of
blue Andalusions, which are classed
with the very best layers. This ''blue
hem is so highly priced there is no dan
ger of her ever dying from the use of
the hatchet, and / am quite sure that he
would not swap this old blue hen for one
of the Barron" birds that cost US $40
in England. Much to my surprise this
gentleman drove up one day last week
with his dipple gray horse that shows
good keeping. After looking over our
flock of snow white chickens, he asked
to be shown the STANDARD Brooder" that |
he had seen advertised in the Chronicle. |
| seldom show this brOOder to any one |
that is in need of device of this kind |
that fail in making the sale and to |
maintain my record, / felt more than |
anxious to make this sale, to one that
had driven sixteen miles through sandy
roads to see it. In less time than it
takes to write this, the sale was made
for he had decided to give the old blue
hen rest in mothering the little chicks
the coming season, and with a Standard
Brooder and Colony House he will begin
poultry raising on a much larger scale.
would like to add that my sales of the
Standard Brooder up to the present
time, far exceed last years entire sea-
son. The brooder has the quality, and
he price fits the farmers pocket. Come
and see this brooder and / will sell you
me. Large catalogue free.

FEEDING AND RAISING
The YOUNG CHICKS
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(AH RIGHTS Reseygeh

foods, in addition to that which is pickel
up on free range. Where the youngster
are allowed only a limited range ant
supplied this necessary ration you vii
find that the growth will be quicker
the development more rapid, and in all
the birds will keep healthier than where
the range is free.
Where the free range is adhered TO-
and the food supplied be not of a bal
anced fat-forming nature, but incidently
consist largely of corn, you will fine
that for the most part the birds will be
shaggy and suffer more or less from
bowel trouble, which is brought about
about by too much insect food Chicks,
in order to grow rapidly and at the same
time develop properly and be in good
health. do not need free range but if
for any reason they are allowed to have
it. they should be supplied with ration
which will balance that secured on the
range.
Where chicks are reared without free
range or in confinement, it necessarily
] follows that they must be supplied with
all forms of food needed for their proper
development and constant growth, while
at the same time, great care must be
taken in order to keep them free from
any form of disease. Chicks which de-
velop any form of ailment during their
infancy rarely ever amount to anything
afterward. They are absolutely unfit
for the breeding pen and will not be
profitable to keep for layers. except in
rare cases. Therefore. the great aim
of every breeder should be to ward off
any disease which will tend to lessen
the value of his birds
But to return again to the feeding
In order to attain maturity in a good
healthy condition and to produce winter
layers, the youngsters must be kept |
growing constantly.
In touching upon the proper feeding |
of the chicks, it might be well to return |
to the subject from the time the young |
sters emerge from the shell. ] have al
ready stated that they neither need, nor
should they be given, any food whatever
for at least the first fOrty-eight hours,
and unless your conscience condemns
you too much, refrain from supplying
it for sixty hours. Many persons wait
for 72 hours with excellent success. If
you are too tenderhearted to wait this
length of time, then forty eight hours
will answer very well
The best feed for the baby chicks
during their first week of feeding will
he found to be finely-grated or ground
stale bread crumbs, to which has been
added hard boiled egg, also finely grated
Or ground. The egg may be omitted if (
iesired, but when used, adds to the !
iOod. This mixture may also be moist 1
sned with a little milk, if desired, but ]
)nly enough to slightly moisten it. Don't
'eed it wet or sloppy, and boil the milk {
o ward off any possibility of germs be- t
ng in it. 4
As this discussion is a rather lengthy ;
me, it will be necessary to stop for this ]
ime, but it will be picked up and con- 4
inued next week. I

In reply to an inquiry as to how many

that the number has now reached eleven.
Those to be found in the list are Pekin,
Indian Runner, Rouen, Crested White,
White Muscovy. Colored Muscovy,
Aylesbury. Cayuga, White Call, Grey
Call and Black East Indians. Of these,
however, there are only four that should
be at all considered from the standpoint

When using the incubator for getting

the eggs begin to give up life. This
tends to keeping the chicks quiet, as
though they were under the hen, and
prevents their moving about and annoy
