FEEDING BABY CHICKS.

Tee Liberal Rations the Cause Of Much

Ny experience has proved that the
best early feed for baby chicks Ia steel
cut oats, writes a correspondent Of the
American Agricultural. I have made
It the only feed for eight to ten days
for 4 number Of docks with good sue
cess. I sometimes mix hard boiled
eggs crumbled fine with tho oats II the
eggs are fresh. One time put sixty
baby chicks into the brooder, tho bot

BILE, and 80 ! am careful to keep tho
little fellows hungry most of the time.
They will make lots of racket calling
for feed. but their appetites will be
keen and their bowels healthy. An
owner can regulate the feed by feeling
their crops and feeding when they are
almost empty
Z The baby chick should also have free
access to charcoal and grit. After the
hrst#week; the commercial baby chick
feed may be given, but always learn
Its composition before feeding.

nail the latter. The roosts can be re-
moved easily when the chicken house
is to be cleaned, and a coat Of one Of
the mite destroyers can be applied to
the ends of the roosts occasionally. II
dropping boards are used they can be
made to fit the four posts. In larger
houses the horizontal 2 by IS may be
fastened to the back wall with hooks
or screen hangers. ~a-
Another method Of constructing the
roosts, especially applicable to the
southwestern states where the chicken
tick occurs, is to suspend frame from
the ceiling on baling wire and place
the roosts across this frame. None of
the structure should be allowed to
come in contact with the walls. There
Is then little opportunity for mites to
reach the chickens The under side of
the roosts must he watched. however,
to see that mites have not been intro

Easily Cleaned Nests.
The nests preferably should be en-
tirely apart from the roosting quarters.
They may consist of boxes, which are
easily handled. cleaned or If infested
destroyed. A series of nests made Of
boards is not Objectionable if placed
on a framework free from the walls of
the henhouse and easily removable for
cleaning.
Wooden or iron brackets are faS-
tened to the wall. and upon these Is
laid a twelve inch board. This board

Sour Milk For Chicks.

The feeding OF sour milk to young
chicks as soon as they are taken from
the incubator appears to be the most
successful treatment toward controll-
ing white diarrhea. The purpose Of the
sour milk IL t" suppress any intestinal
putrefaction WI oh the bacillus may
set up. In other words, the sour milk
contains ferments or bacteria which
are calculated to counterfeit or Offset
the parasites OF the white ,diarrhea.
Lacking the sour milk, 1t has been
found that fifteen grains of powdered
catechu dissolved in q gallon of drink
ing water tends to prevent the develop
ment of the diarrhea. This treatment
should be continued for about ten days.
or until the danger period is past.

Hatchino 1urkoys.

When the turkey hen wants to sit
she will have to be given the eggs. II
this is not done, by the time she is bro
ken Of sitting, lays and sits again the
first laid eggs will be too old to hatch.
Care is needed to see that the hen goes
to the nest free from lice. No grease
must be used to kill lice while sitting.
Use some good louise powder for this
purpose. Some feed in the way Of
corn and water should be kept near the
nest while the turkey is sitting. 1t is
seldom If ever necessary to shut the
hen on the nest. Turkey eggs incubate
in about twenty eight days. Do not
disturb the hens too much at Matching
time, especially if the fowl are little
wild.

IN Selecting q Site For the House.
Many times it is possible to avoid in

The yard first should be securely

s. In a recent speech before meeting
of the Federation Of Women's Clubs In
the District Carl syrooman, assistant
secretary of agriculture, asked his au-
dience If they had thought Of what the
price Of food would be in the event Of
the United States going to war and the
government communicating all trans

said: "As 4 matter of food prepared

eral cities where, city farming had been
adopted, a few. years ago, and where
they were entering on a new campaign

and getting ready to promote the work
among all classes.
The public had 4 rude awakening
several weeks ago BY paying prices for
many articles Of food which exceeded
those; commanded BY the same com
modities in some Of the warning coun.
tries Of Europe. When Ambassador
Gerard arrived in America from sBer-
lin he was surprised to find potatoes
selling here for the same price per

In Italy, reputed as one Of the poorer
countries" OF Europe and at war for
nearly two years, wheat bread was
selling at Al cents pound last Octo-
ber,a the last month for, which figures
were obtainable, and wheat -four at 4.3
cents per pound. Contrast this with
the average price per pound of bread
in this country in November, which
was 6S cents. and a pound Of -four
Sc cents. During February flour re-
tailed in Washington at "a cents a
pound, or s1.335 for one-eighth of a

Portable, but the startling fact remains
that for several articles of food in the
daily diet of American families living
in modest circumsta noes prices are
higher than they were in the last year
of the war between the States.
If scientists who spend their lives
In working out problems for the better

back yard farming is the logical solu-
ton in the present situation it is the
duty of every patriotic American to
rally to their standard and take their
advice. $
To facilitate back yard farming
many authorities are of the opinion
that the solid board fences. so evident
in many cities and towns. should be
done away with and replaced by wire
