Give the Chick Fair Start
and Increase Your Returns
Proper Broodng During First Few Weeks Great Secret
Successful Poultry Raising Ignorance
Only Excuse for Failure

In the proper brooding of the chicks
during the first few weeks OF their
lives lies one Of the great secrets in
successful poultry production. II the
chicks are properly cared for at that
time they will get good. vigorous
start and be able to look after them
selves during the greater part of their
growing lives. There is no excuse ex-
sept ignorance and mismanagement
for Q large loss Of young chicks. for
given good care. practically all Of them
can be raised.
1t Is not bad plan to slightly
darken the nests when the hens are
Matching. for this serves to keep the
hens more quiet. Hathipg hens should
not be disturbed unless they are step
ping on or picking their chicks when
Matching. When this is the case the
eggs should either be transferred to
more quiet hen or the little, chicks
should be taken in the house as soon
as they are dry. A basket lined with
flannel and placed on the shelf Of the
kitchen range makes a good place to
keep these chicks until the hen Is
through Matching. though care must be
taken that the little fellows will not
get chilled ut night. II II Is necessary
to keep them in the house for that
long "a time. Remove the egg shells
and any eggs which do not hatch as
soon as the hatchhg is over. Hens
should he fed as soon as possible after
the eggs are Matched. as feeding tends
to keep them quiet. otherwise they are
likely to leave the nest, and If the
hatch is incomplete the remaining
partly hatched chicks are liable to be
chilled and die. In most cases 1t is
best to try 'and teep the hen on the
nest to brood the chicks about "a
hours after the Matching is over.
Insect Powder. so
When the hen and chicks are first
taken off the hen should be busted
with a good insect powder. 1t Is nec-
essary to dust the hen about every
two weeks until the chicks are
weaned. If the chicks should be trou
bled with head lice a little grease such
as lard or vaseline should be applied
with the fingers to the head. throat.
under the winds and at the vent. Too
much grease will blister the little fell
lows and stop their growth. in some
cases even proving fatal. The brood
coop should be cleaned at least once
a week and painted once in q while
with some strong disinfectant. Lice
cause more trouble to little chicks than
all other causes with the exception OF
improper feeding. .....,.
The hen and chicks should be
placed in clean brood coop. which
Is small enough that the hen does not
have much chance to wander around
during the first few days. Place plenty

need to be fed until they are from -
to ~ hours old. Start them out with
some chick food. such as very fine
grains. mixed preferably. dry bread

but always feed 1t dry. Wet food does
more injury to young chicks than any
thing that can be fed them. Chopped
hard boiled eggs. dry cornbread or
similar foods are very good. DO not let
the hen run loose around the yard for
the first few days and have the brood
coop so constructed that the chicks
can get in and out at will, but the
hen remain confined. Let the chicks
get two or three weeks, old before the
hen Is allowed her liberty.

other feeding grain represents money
at this time. still lambs give every
prospect Of reaching record levels this
fall and money invested now in saving
the lamb crop will be money working
at good interest. Feeding bills have
been high this spring. and 1t is neces-
sary to feed even more the next month

feed be largely wasted. Alfalfa hay

ton for ewes that will lamb before the

The guinea is the most suspicious
creature in the poultry yard. 1t eyes
askance the well-known mistress in a
new frock, and shrieks Historically at
a shadow 1t Is always hearing sounds
and seeing ghosts. Such behavior is
responsible for its hitherto limited list
of friends These peculiarities Of its
disposition account partly for the gen.
eral habit Of allowing guineas to breed
themselves. In no other fowl does the
instinct OF distrnst seem so much a
part of cell and fibre as in the guinea.
In spite of this timorousness there Is
both profit and interest in raising this
fowl. Except on limited areas, 1t re-
Nures little feed. They soon yield
their confidence to the attendant who
feeds them regularly. Rough treat
ment alienates them beyond home, and
their propensity for flying makes their
capture at the proper time difficult
The male selects his mate and clings
TO her faithfully. While she attends
TO the duties of maternity, he hovers
near, ready to shrill an alarm at sign
OF danger. When the brood appears he
shares equal responsibility Of food
shelter and protection. II misfortune
overtakes the hen, he assumes her
duties.

eludes their pertinacity. Such guineas
make good breeders. They roost in

often lay there. Sometimes they can
even be trustSd to raise a brood Of
their own.
Care Of Young Guineas.
Until the little guinea and the hen
learn each other. it must not be al.
lowed to roam. The chicks need
range which is best secured by inclos.
Ing the hen In small coop and pen,
The coop should have an earthen floor,
and the pen be grassy. After two or
three weeks the guineas. then boa sting

mothers "cluck." They then gradu-

with the mother. After this they re-
quire nothing but water and three
meals a day. 49,, q

thrive on hard boiled egg mixed with

proportion Of animal food. 1t Is pos

From Hotel Lobbies

John Garland. a merchant from To-
ronto, Ontario, was a guest at tho RAJ
leigh yesterday and told a Herald man
about his town.
'-one Of the things we are most proud
Of in Toronto" said Mr.. Garland, "is q
large department store founded by Tim
othy Eaton. We understand that It is
the largest department store in North
America. When the war broke out the
store allowed all married employees who
went and enlisted in the army full pay.
and all single men half-pay. When Mr..
Eaton died he left a large endowment
to build a Methodist Church and this
church today is one of the finest in
the city and has a sufficient endowment
to pay all expenses. Collections taken
are used for various charities. but the
endowment really pays the salary OF the
minister and all similar expenseA
I'VE expect Canada to furnish 900, 900
men in this war, and we have already
contributed about 400 900 men, most OF
whom are on the firing-line now. We
have done this out of a loyal popula-
ton Of 100000 and in spite of the fact
that the FTench-Canadians of Quebec
have not enlisted as numerously as men
from the British stock. The French
Canadians do not have much sympathy
for France because France deserted them
in the early days. and they are angered
at the Dominion government over re-
ugious disputes. They claim the gov
ernment has made too strict Quaufica-
tions for teachers in the parochial
schools. The western provinces have sent
every man available"
Mr.. Garland said there has been very
little trouble in the provinces with the
people Of German descent, the great ma
jority Of them being loyal to the Do
