RANGE FOR YOUNG CHICKENS
Problem Of Supply Green Feed Does
Not Receive Sufficient Attention
From Farmer.

The problem Of supplying a range
or green feed for chicks does not re-
ceive sufficient attention. This is an
important side of the proper rearing
of poultry and the farmer who has
sour skimmilk to spare and II good
green range has more than half his
chick problem solved.
For temporary feeding, one can soak
oats overnight in water, wash them
thoroughly next morning and spread
them in half-inch layers in boxes OF
trays. Place these trays in the shade
outdoors and sprinkle with water twice
daily. In from three to six days the
oats will be ready for feeding. For ba-
by chicks feed when the sprouts are
One-half inch long, giving once daily
what the chicks will eat in about ten
minutes.
Rape may be sown and, when grown,
cut up and fed to chicks. Cabbage,
lettuce. mangels, beets, turnips can al
sc be used for green feed.
The only really satisfactory way,
however, to supply green feed and a
good range is to sod a piece of land
to Bermuda grass by blowing the
ground and dropping a piece of Ber-
muda sod every 10 inches, and to put
some burr clover into this Bermuda
grass in the fall.

FEED PENS FOR BABY CHICKS
Wire Covered Yard of Laths, Placed
Close Enough to Keep Old Fowls
Out, Will Suffice.

If old and young chicks are allowed
to range together, feeding pens should
be made for the baby chicks. A wire
covered yard of laths, placed far
enough apart to permit the chicks to
get between, and wide enough so that
the older birds cannot reach their
heads in to feed, is cheaply and easily
made. A box deep enough to prevent
the old birds reaching in, with n wire
fence in front, will protect the feed
hoppers from the weather. In such
hoppers, keep "a dry mash of ground
grains, charcoal, cracked bone and
grit. The hoppers should not furnish
the only food cracked corn scattered
in the litter makes a good ~exerciser.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHICK
Egg Furnishes Feed, Water and Other
Necessary EssentiaIs-Heat Causes
incubation.

Each egg produced by good, vigor-
Gus hens running with a strong rOOs-
ter and housed and fed under proper
conditions is the possibility of another
chick. In the egg is a home and it
contains feed, water and all that is
necessary for the development of the
chick, except heat. It is the appli-
cation of this heat under favorable
conditions that is called incubation.
At the time the egg is laid the de-
velopment of the chick has been 60
ing on rapidly for several hours. AS
soon as the temperature drops down
below 20 degrees F. this growth stops
and the embryo goes into u resting
stage until the egg is again warmed
up. This very young chick, called
the blastOderm, rests on the upper sur
face of the yOlk.
Immediately surrounding the yolk
extending out at opposite sides toward
the large and small ends of the egg
is o dense Opaque layer of albumin
or white called chalaza which tends
to support the yOlk and lessons it's
movement, except as it ~revolves on
the chalaza as an axis to keep the
b%lastoderm at the top. The rest of
the white is more watery and more
transparent and is surrounded by two
rather tough membranes and the shell.
These two membranes separate at the
large end of the egg and form the air
cell which in a fresh egg is about the
size of n dime, but increases with age
due to evaporation of moisture. The
shell being porous permits the passage
of air or moisture in or out.

hard, but birds in good condition and
laying have pliable combs.
"With the White LeghOrn pullets
which have yellow pigment in the
earlObe at the start of the season a
white earlObe will be an indication of
high production. These birds with
yellow pigment IN the earlobe will lay
out this color until the lobes are
white.
"The smOOthness, pliability and Oili-
ness of the skin are indications of
egg production. A laying bird has n
softer, smoother feeling than the non
laying bird.
"Due to the yOlks developing In the
Ovary and the increase in size of the
oviduct, the abdomen swells out in
preparation for the laying season.
When a bird gets ready to stop lay
ing the abdomen shrlnks. This fact
is valuable in telling what the bird
may do for the next two or three
weeks, or by knowing whether the bird
is laying at a certain time of the year.
'The practical application of these
facts is TO discard It the end Of a lay
ing year all pullels which have yellow
shanks, dried-up combs and shrunken
abdomens."

It is not only possible but desirable
to pick out the high-producing hens
In the flock by means of external char
acteristics, according to w. A. Lip
pincott, professor of poultry ~husbandry
in the Kansas State agricultural col
lege.
Hens that mott late are high pro-
ducers,' says Professor Lippincott,
because they have a longer period in
which to lay. Late melting is the ac-
compartment of late laying, but the
mere fact Of late melting does not
make high producers. The hens that
mott late begin laying as early as the
early mOlters, because they mott much
more rapidly and lose less time.
"In the yellOw-skinned breeds the
paleness of shank is a very reliable
indication in the fall at the end of
the first year. The high producers lay
the color out of their shanks, and so
any bird with yellow shanks after a
year of laying has been a poor pro-
Queer for that year.
Those birds with soft and pliable
combs about October 1 are in general
better producers than those with hard
and dried-up combs. AS a bird molts
the comb tends to shrink and become
