Incubators.

Don't expect to get as good ma
chine for $40 from one maker as for
$40 from another. And don't think
that even the $50 man is trying to
rob you. If you really want busi-
ness machine, don't patronize cheap
ness. And when you do buy a ma
chine, try and follow the directions
given by the one who makes that
particular machine. Don't run it the
same as Mrs. Jones runs some other
make, or according to your own ideas.
Give the manufacturer credit for
knowing best his own machine. Don't
blame the incubator if the eggs don't
hatch well; at least, don't blame it
entirely. 1t may be the fault of the
eggs or of yourself
But when the chicks arrive, then is
the time to start right, in raising them
and keep right, until they pass the
broiler stage. Chicks should not be
disturbed, either in the incubator or
under hens, until they are thoroughly
dried off and moving about briskly.
This will be twenty-four to thirty-six
hours after they hatch. Fortunate
are you if you have an incubator with
warm nursery and sufficiently venti-
lated so that the chicks do not get
chilled right at the start, or half
smothered. Some incubator nurser-
les will not keep the fame of light
ed candle burning longer than five
minutes. What chance has a hun
dred lively, breathing chicks in such
place for twenty-four hoursl
Omaha daily bee., 1917-04-08
[Z[A Poultry and Pet StockANG

too much SO if only one piece and
100 chicks. Chicks, after the first
few days, must have fresh vegetables
every day in amount at least one
third Of their total rations. A good
rule for feeding is one-third whole
or cracked grain, one-third mash,
one-third vegetables. A chicken must
have fresh vegetables just as much
as horse or a COW must have hay.
Cabbage, lettuce, beet tops, beets,
turnips, potatoes, onions are all good.
Finely cut grass, clover or alfalfa is
good.
Never allow strings or stringy food
of any kind for chickens, young or
old. 1t wads up in the crop and
chokes the passage leading to the
gizzard. Stringy meat, bacon rinds,
ETC., are especially bad. A chicken
with a full, hard crop in the early
morning is likely crop-bound.. A
little castor oil administered through
the mouth and the crop thoroughly
kneaded or massaged will sometimes
start a passage. Otherwise, only an
operation will avail. A little fresh
meat can profitably be given to chicks
daily, but only a little. There is
nothing that chick likes better than
fresh meat or even cooked meat, but
it must be given only in small amount
and chopped fine.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-04-08
Matching Season.

Chicks do best in April, May or
June in the central states because it
is the natural Matching season. Eggs
also hatch best then because it is the
natural breeding season. Neither
males nor females are in proper con-
dition for mating except during about
three months of the year. That is
one reason why chicks out of season
do not do so well. 1t is important
therefore that, as nearly as possible,
you initiate spring and summer con-
ditions when handling chicks in the
winter. 1t will not do to give chicks
summer one minute and winter the
next. Don't try to raise chicks dur
ing winter or early cold spring in
cold, unheated room. The brooder
takes the place of hen only in keep
ing the chicks warm. You would not
expect hen and chicks to do well
in temperature of 80 or 40 degrees.
Neither will they do well running In
and out of brooder at 90 degrees
from a room or yard Of 80 to so de-
grees.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-04-08
Injured Chicks,

Watch carefully and Immediately
remove from the brooder any chick
that is injured and especially if
bloody. Chicks are strongly canni-
balistic if once started and will
quickly tear to pieces an injured
chick if they once get taste of
the blood. Smear tar over any in
jured or bleeding spots. Keep tacks,
small nails, ETC., severely away from
the chicks.
A hen with ten to fifteen chicks can
be put in a yard covered with shingle
nails, tacks. sand, salt, poisonous
weeds, wheat, corn, and other good
and bad things for chicks to eat, and
the hen will quickly show the chicks
what to eat and what to let alone.
If, however, 100 brooder chicks are
allowed in the same yard. there will
be a great loss. One chick will pick
up a tack, a shingle nail or a piece
OF poisonous substance, and if left
strictly alone would probably not
swallow it. Anyone who has had ex-
perience with a lot of incubator
Matched chicks knows that if one chick
picks up any new and strange sub
stance, forty other chicks will immedi-
ately take after it, and the chick swal-
lows the article before having a
chance to allow natural instinct to de-
tect the good from the bad. This is
especially true regarding any new o,
strange thing that a chick may run
across, and care should therefore be
used when putting chicks in new
yards.
When chickens die, burn or bury
them. Don't let any dead birds or
animals lay around, neither rotten
eggs. Bewafe of Jumps of salt, scraps
Of salt meat or fish, scraps or strings
or meat or bacon rind.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-04-08
Some Facts,

Care should also be taken in ar
ranging pens and yards for mother
less chicks, especially if kept together
in large numbers, and nothing of a
deleterious nature should be allowed
in or about these yards. The same
will apply to chicks after they are re-
moved from brooder to colony house,
or regular poultry house. Until at
least six or eight weeks old there is
great danger, and the greater the
number of chicks in the flock, the
greater the danger. We know of one
case where hundreds of chicks were
lost annually before the cause was
discovered. Chicks need protection
from sudden storms and rain until
several weeks only, should not have
large yard, but should be kept close
to the brooder or hrooder house. If,
through accident, they should get
drenched in a sudden rain, they
should be dried and thoroughly
warmed as quickly as possible. Many
storm-soaked chicks are saved by the
farmers wife after apparently past
saving by wrapping them in flannel
and putting them in the kitchen oven
for a time.
When the chicks feather too fast,
with droopy wings, etc., it indicates
lack of variety in the diet; generally
lack of vegetables. Clipping the wing
and tail feathers will help, but the
food must be changed. When chicks
are doing well and getting right feed
and care you can almost see them
grow. If the feathers grow fast and
the wings commence to droop it in
dicates a poor variety of food. If
they appear lame, as the biggest, fat
test chicks will often do, it is the
resu.; of too much concentrated food
and not enough vegetables. Chickens
: don't need cooked food. Corn bread
is all right and raw corn meal is
just as good, if fresh, but neither will
q as an exclusive diet.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-04-08
Lice and vermin.

There is not much trouble with lice
until chicks get well past the danger
point if they are kept well away from
the old fowls or If the old birds are
kept we'll rid Of vermin. But all chick
ems have lice or mites eventually il
you don't keep after them, just as all
dogs have fleas if not properly cared

for. And the lice and mites do breed
wonderfully fast and spread like a
prairie fire. l have Tany times counted
500 lice taken from one hen and as
many as a Hundred from one chick.
If you are going to make a success
with chickens you cannot take too
great precautions in getting rid and
keeping rid of vermin. 1t may run
smooth for a time, but you are sure
to meet the bumps some day.
When using insect power it doesn't
do a bit of good to just sprinkle it
on their backs. 1t must be sprinkled
on and then rubbed in through the
fluff or feathers, so as to get down to
the skin where the lice are generally
found.

Broody Hens.

Q.-Please tell me how to cure
hens of brooding.
The quicker broody hen is broken
up the sooner she will start laying
again. To break up broody hen
effectively place her in coop with
Slated bottom, where the air Can cir
culate underneath her body. Such a
coop may we'll be built in a convent
ent place in the poultry house, where
it is easy to take the fowls from the
nest and put them in the Jail when
first noticed. The yolks Of the eggs
will continue to develop if the hen is
broken up Immediately, but every
day she is allowed to sit absorption
takes place and only a longer time
is required for her to start laying
again. Persistent sitters are poor
layers, and unless the fowl is other.
