POULTRY
CONSULTING DEPARTMENT
Outlines Daily Menu for Chicks

Appeals from poultrymen through
out the state for information on how
best to feed young chicks have
brought from the poultry department
of the Michigan Agricultural college
a tried and proved" ration for day
by day feeding.
These recommendation follow:
"Place chicks in the brooder within
twenty-four hours after the last one
matches, and preferably just before
dark. Feed sharp sand on shingles
and give buttermilk to drink. Sour
milk can be used, if buttermilk is
not available. Keep chick size oy-
ster Shells, grit and charcoal before
them at all times. Feed the chicks
regularly, five times a day, until
they are four weeks of age.
First day.-Mix thoroughly one
raw egg with one quart of bran, al
lowing this amount for 200 chicks at
each feeding. See to it that each
particle of bran has egg on the sur
face.
Second day.-Increase the amount
of egg, but not more than one egg to
100 chicks.
"Third day.-Mix little chick feed,
commercial, with bran and egg, for
two of the regular feelings, $1,000
a. m. and 800 p. m.)
Fourth and fifth days.-Feed the
bran and egg four times a day, and
for the three o'clock feed give them
clear chick feed in little punches dis
tributed about the room on the lit
ter so that they may be taught to
find it. Allow a cupf1l to 100 Chicks.
1t is advisable to cover the floor with
inn IF orrf ctr o1n
leaves. Alfalfa meal can be used,
but it is not advised.
"Sixth and Seventh days.-Feed
three times per day with bran and
egg ration. Feed chick feed at 1000
a. m. and p. m. 1t is suggested
to at 1000 a. m. about one cupful to
100 chicks of commercial chick mash
containing fish scraps, or good
meat scrap be fed. Clean the boards
or shingles after the mash has been
before them one hour.
Eighth to fourteenth days.-Give
two feeds of the chick mash, 10 a. m.
and 3 p. m.-not more than will be
cleaned up in am hour. Give two
feeds of bran and raw egg, but de-
crease the amount from the seventh
day until the fifteenth day, when they
are getting but single feed per day
of the bran and egg. Start feeding
sprouted oats, sprouts about one-half
inch long, on the third day. Gradu-
ally diminish the number of feelings
per day during the fourth week, until
commencing the fifth week they are
getting but three feeds per day. Be-
ginning with the fifth week, replace
one feed of the small chickweed size
with one feeding of the medium size
or growing chick developer. Con-
tinue this until they are fed entirely
on chick developer"

st. Johns.--A crafty thief entered
Wilson Bros. clothing store by way
Of the cellar last Monday night and
stole about eighteen shirts, worth
in the neighborhood Of $50. He also
opened each of the drawers Of the
cash register and took about SIS in
cash. He made his exit by way Of
the rear door. The cellar window
through which he entered was care
fully closed afterward, as were also
each Of the cabinets from which the
shirts were taken. Apparently the
thief was not novice at the bust
ness, as he knew how to work an
electric cash register. The only
clew are q few finger prints. The
officers are working on the case.

Payment for G6od Bridges

No matter how good the surface of
a road may be, if the bridges are
weak and the culverts poor, the high
way is far from satisfactory. The
annual record of bridge failures un-
der threshing machines and other
heavy loads makes a long list, and
the cost of repairing the annual dam
age to poor culverts is a large sum.
In progressive communities, there
fore, strong steel and concrete
bridges and we'll built culverts are
being constructed before expensive
road surfacing is done.
This work is often paid for out of
the annual tax levy for road and
bridge construction, and absorbs such
a large part of the funvs that too lit
tie money is left for grading the
surfacing. Good bridges and Gull
verts are permanent structures, and
the deputy minister of highways of
Ontario, Hon. w. A. Mclean, has
advised the taxpayers of that prov
ince to pay for them by bond issue
where the total expenditure for the
purpose is large. In such case he
suggests compiling complete list of
the bridges and culverts needed, pre-
pairing plans and estimates for their
COHSl IuCblOH, anu Jnen financing Jne
work so that its cost will be equitably
distributed over a period of years
rather than be concentrated on the
taxpayers of few years. Where
there are few of these structures and
none is expensive, the policy of paying
for them out of the annual tax levy
cannot be criticized, in his opinion,
for it does not interfere appreciably
with satisfactory progress in grad
ing, drainage, surfacing and main
tenance

A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one because the ferti-
lized germ responds more readily to
high temperatures than the unferti-
lized one. 1t is impossible to hatch
an infertile egg or to cause a blood
ring to form in one. Such eggs are
much more likely to reach the table
in good condition and there is much
less spoilage in shipments of fertile
and infertile eggs.
After the Matching season, there
fore, the male birds should be cooked,
sold or confined. In approximately
ID days after this all the eggs laid by
the hens will be infertile. These can
be marketed much more successfully
under the adverse conditions that fire.
quently prevail in hot summer months.
Rules for Handling Eggs on the Farm
Heat is the enemy of eggs, both
fertile and infertile. Farmers are
urged to follow these simple rules,
which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns:
/. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
3. Keep the eggs in cool dry cell
lar or room.
A. Market the eggs at least twice
week.
5. Sell, Kill, or confine all male
birds as soon as the Matching season
is over.
Waste baskets may have swallow
ed some classic stuff. But it's a
cinch they've prevented a lot of tom
myrot from getting loose literarily.

Roads Too Bad to Go to Grand
