FEEDING BABY CHICKS.
Too Liberal Rations the Cause Of Much
Bowel Trouble.

Bowel Trouble.
My experience has proved that the
best early feed for baby chicks Is steel
cut oats, writes correspondent Of the
American Agricu1turist. I have made
IL the only feed for eight to ten days
for a number of focks with good sue
cess. sometimes mix hard boiled
eggs crumbled fine with the oats IL tho
eggs are fresh. One time ] put sixty
baby chicks into the brooder, the bot
tom Of which was covered with finely
cut straw. fed them a tablespoonful
Of the steel cut oats every three or four
hours the first day. l sprinkled 1t in
the straw. and soon they were scratch
ing for 1t. l,5 taaH At
have found that overlooking at, the
start is the cause of much bowel trou-
bic, and SO I am careful to keep the
little fellows hungry most of the time.
They win 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 arc
almost empty. t
The baby chick should also have free
access to charcoal and grit. After the
first week the commercial baby chick
feed may be given, but always learn
its composition before feeding.

MAKING POULTRY HOUSES.

Suggestions For Locating and Arrans-
ING Sanitary Buildings.
Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural ~.
Poultry pests do not live in sanitary
yards Farmers who make speciality
Of poultry raising have comparatively
little trouble nowadays with mites and
lice, sanitary conditions and a close
watchfulness enabling them to check
and drive out threatened infestations
at their beginning. II the owners Of
small flocks on farms and in back
yards would observe simple precautions
in building chicken houses pest trou-
bles would be negligible. Important
suggestions as to how buildings may
be made parasite proof are given in
new publication Of the department Of
agriculture, farmers bulletin SO1,
mites and Lice on Poultry" by f. c.
Bishop and Il. P. Wood.
Selecting . Site For the Heues.
Many times 1t is possible to avoid IN
sect troubles by building In a spot fair
" well isolated from other poultry.
The yard first should be securely
fenced and new buildings and runs
constructed. The flock should be start
ed with incubator chickens Matched on
the premises, and all fowls brought on
the place should be first treated. Sec.
ond hand crates should not be brought
on the farm unless carefully disinfect-
ed beforehand. The possibility of In
sscts being carried from infested quar-.
ters on clothing. wagons and 30 on
should be kept in mind as well as the
possibility Of their carriage by spar
rows. t5* - 9'f" t'o& :. as f
Adequate air space. lighting and ven-
tilation should be provided, and the en-
tire house should be cleaned out at fire.
Quent intervals. While these things
cannot be depended upon to control
mites and lice, they aid the poultry
man in determining when these pests
are present and furthermore the fowls
are kept in vigorous condition, which
is conducive to the control Of various
pests. The following suggestions on
the construction Of the roosts and nest
boxes may be followed in old as well

houses the horizontal 2 by Is may be
fastened to the back wall with hooks
or screen hangers.
Another method of constructing the
roosts, especially applicable to the
southwestern states where the chicken
tick occurs, is to suspend a 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 be watched, however,
to see that mites have not been intro
duced accidentally, as they have been
known to breed even under such condi-
tons.
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 q 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 twelve inch board. This board

Sour Milk For Chicks,

The feeding Of sour milk to young
chicks as soon as they are taken from

putrefaction which 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, it has been
found that fifteen grains Of powdered
catechu dissolved in 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.
