Heat for Brood Chicks.

The best temperature at which TO
keep a brooder or hover depends upon
the position Of the thermometer, the
style of the hover, the age Of the
chickens and the weather conditions.
Aim to keep the chickens comfortable.
As the operator learns by the actions
of the chickens the amount Of heat
they require, he a discard the Their
mometer If he desires. When too cold
the chicks will crowd together and
try to get nearer the heat.
It is not possible to say for each
case at what temperature the brooder
should be kept to raise young
chickens, but it will run from 90 to
100 degrees in some cases, as some
broods Of chickens seem to require
more heat than others. Average tenn
peratures approximate 90 to 90 de-
grees for the first week or ten days,
when the temperature is gradually re-
duced to So degrees for the following
ten days. and then lowered to 20 or 20
degrees for as long as the chickens
need heat. This depends somewhat on
the season Of the year and the num-
Der OF the chickens. as It can be read
lily seen that the heat generated By 50
chickens would raise the temperature
under the hover to a higher degree
than the heat given OF by a lesser
number.

fastened together by a saddle Of two
! by 6-inch boards.
There should also be O board nailed
across the front to help hold the sides.
AS a framework for the back, 2 by 4
inch pieces r placed upright 2 feet
from each side and nailed to the floor
and sides. A c%rosspiece is put in 2 feet
from the floor. The back boards are
nailed to this framework and to the
sides. A guard rail should be placed
across the back the same as on the
sides. The sides should be fastened
firmly together so that no storm will
blow them down. The cracks should
be covered with batten. Guy wires
should be put in place to keep the
house from blowing over if in an ex-
posed position.
For Fattening Pigs.
The A-type house is very good for
a few fattening pigs and may be used
to house a sow and litter in warmer
climates. In sections where cold win
tiers are experienced the front should
be closed in. This will make a good
shelter for a sow and her spring litter.
If the front is to be closed this should
be decided before the house is built.
This is necessary for two reasons
First, provision for ventilation should
be made, which can be done by insert
ing three or four 6-inch pieces of 2 by
4-inch material at the apex and spiking
the sides firmly to them, thus provid-
ing a series of pinch spaces for venti-
lation. The saddle-boards are raised.
Second, the insertion Of the blocks to
provide for ventilation will change the
angle at which the boards for the
back are cut.
In building the front proceed the
same as with the back. The door
should be % inches by 3 feet. If the
front Is closed the window In the front
should be on hinges so that 1t may be
opened to give ventilation.
If the weather is evere at narrowing
time, one or two lighted lanterns hung
in the top Of the house will make 1t
quite comfortable for the young pigs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agrieulture.)
The most effective method of reduc-
ing injury to fruit trees by certain
borers, as the peach and apple tree
borers, is to sworn" the trees regu-
larly in the spring and fall of each
year. Previous to worming, the earth
should be removed from around the
crown of the tree to a depth of four
or five inches and the trunk brushed
or scraped free Of bark and loose dirt.
With a little experience the worker
can readily locate the bOrers in their
burrows and remove them by means of
a knife, stiff wire or other suitable
tool.
A combined scraplng and gougIng in
strument is in S in the South and
is reported to be a valuable tool In
worming. A piece of steel bar or a
suitable waste steel strip around the
farm is fiattened out along about two
thirds of its length into a dull blade
two or three inches wide and gradu-
ally tapered to a point. The point
is bent out and slightly upward to form
a hook for gouging the insects in their
burrows. The other end of the blade
is fastened firmly into a u or IA inch
piece Of woodN o a handle, as a sec
ton cut from an old hoe or shovel
handle. The whole tool is not more
than IS or 20 inches long.
In wOrming care should be taken not
to cut the sound bark or wood more
than necessary, and the cutting should
be done vertically. CarelessnesS in the

Supply Heat.

Movable or colony hog houses are
especially suited to the needs of the
farmer just starting in the hog bust
ness and also for pig club members
who are doing their part to help the
10 per cent increase needed in hog
population. These houses, especially
where the winters are mild, will meet
all the needs of hogs for shelter both
from the hot sun of summer and the
dampnesS and storm of winter. They
can be moved from field to field as
the pigs are changed from one grazing
crop to another. Their use makes It
easy to keep the hogs healthy, as the
house can be moved as soon as one
place becomes unclean.
A.Shaped House.
Two types-the b~ox-shaped house
and the A-shaped house-are described
by specialists Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture In a recent
publication. This article deals with
the construction Of the smaller or
A-shaped shelter. The A-shaped house
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton and plans, is s feet wide and 6
feet from back to front. The founda-
ton is made of three MI of 4 by
4-inch material or straight poles. A
floor of 1-inch material is nailed to the
three n Pieces 2 by 4 inches
are nailed along the outside of the
floor to keep the sides from spreading

The sides are built on the ground
and then set up. Each side is made Of six

are held together by two 2 by finch
c~rosspieces, one about 0 inches from
the top and the other about 3k feet.
About 10 inches from the bottom of
the sides a 2 by 6-lnch piece is nailed
edgewise and braced at the ends by
blocks as shown in the illustration.

FEED CHICKS OFTEN
BUT DON'T STUFF THEM.

Young chickens should be fed
from three to five times daily,
depending upon ones experience
in feeding. Undoubtedly chick
ems can be grown faster by feed
ing five times daily than by feed
ing three times daily, but 1t
should be borne in mind that
more harm can be done to the
young chickens by overlooking
than by underfeeding, and at no
time should they be fed more
than barely to satisfy their APP
petites and to keep them exer-
cising, except at the evening
or last meal, when they should
be given all they will eat. Young
chicks that are confined need
more attention to avoid over
feeding than those that have
free range, as leg weakness is
likely TO result In those confined.

BEST FOODS FOR
YOUNG CHICKENS
Begin Feeding Any Time After
Youngsters Are So to 48
Hours Old.
BAKED JoHNNYCAKE IS GOOD
Put the "erow" In Young Fowls by
Giving Bread Crumbs and Rolled
Oats Mixture Five Times
DaiIy-AIso Give Milk.

Give the young chicks a good start
in life by feeding carefully prepared,
nourishing food. Feeding should begin
any time after they are thirty-six to
forty-eight hours old, whether they are
with the hen or in a brooder, and for
the first month or two they nay be
given food as often as five times a day.
Baked jOhnnycake composed Of the
following ingredients in the proper
lions named is a very good feed for
young chicks: One dozen infertile
eggs or n pound of sifted beef scrap
to ten pounds Of corn meal; add
enough milk to make a pasty mash,
and one tablespoonful of baking soda.
Dry bread crumbs may be mixed with
hard-boiled eggs, making about one
fourth of the mixture eggs, or rolled
oats may be used in place of the
bread crumbs.
Feed Five Times Daily.
Feed the bread crumbs, rolled oats,
or johnnycake mixtures five times
daily for the first week, then gradually
substitute for n oil two feeds Of the
mixture finely cracked grains of one
part by weight of cracked wheat, six
parts finely cracked corn, two parts
plnhead oatmeal or hulled oats, and
n part kafir corn, to which about
8 per cent of cracked peas or broken
rice and 2 per cent Of charcoal, millet
or rape seed may be added. A COM
mercial chick feed may be substituted
If desired. The above ration can be
fed until the chicks are two weeks old,
when they should be placed on grain
and a dry or wet mash mixture.
After the chicks are ten days old a
good growing mash, composed of two
parts by weight Of bran, two parts
middlings, two parts cornmeal, one
part rolled oats, and 10 per tent sIfted
beef scrap may be placed In a hopper
and left before them at all times. The
mash may be fed either wet or dry;
II wet, only enough moisture (either
milk or water) should be added to
make the feed crumbly, but in no
sense sloppy. When this growing
mash or mixture Is not used a hopper
containing bran should be accessible
to the chickens at all times.
When one has only a few chickens
1t Is less trouble to purchase the pre-
pared chick feeds, but where a con-
siderable number are reared II is
sometimes cheaper to buy the finely
cracked grains and mix them together.
Many chick feeds contain a large guam
tity Of grit and may contain grains
Of poor quality. so that they should be
carefully examined and the quality
guaranteed before they are purchased.
Eliminate Chick Feed.
AZ soon as the chickens viii eat the
whole wheat, cracked corn and other
enthusiastically In about eight weeks
Smallsized chick feed can be
eliminated. In addition to the above
feeds the chickens growth can be
fastened II they r given soar EiIk.

DAMAGE TO TREES BY HAIL
Degree Of Injury Depends Largely on
Speeies-Haekberry and Elm
Are Very Resistant.
By W. J. MORRILL,. Colorado Agricul

By W. J.. MORRILL,. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort colllns.)
The degree Of hail injury to trees
depends largely on the tree species.
Those with large crowns. slender
stems, brittle branches and tender
bark suffer most. Box elder, cotton
wood and other poplars, and soft
maple suffer severely. Elm and hack
berry are very resistant.

use of worming tools may result in
more damage to the trees than would
he caused by the insects. After trees
have been wormed II is desirable, If
practicable, to 60 over them again q
few days later, when the location of
any larvae missed during the first ex-
animation will usually be indicated by
the exuded frasS. After the worming
has been completed the earth should
be replaced around the trees, and in
the case Of spring worming Of peach
trees 1t should be mounded around the
base of the trunk to a height Of s
to 10 inches. This will cause the
borers to enter the bark somewhat
higher and facilitate their detection
and removal.
Washes for Borers.
Washes of various materials have
been recommended for use on fruit
trees to repel adult insects from de
posting their eggs or to prevent the
entrance into the bark OF newly
Matched larvae. These washes are to
be applied after the spring worming.
and before the adult insects have
issued and begun to deposit eggs. Ger
tain caustic washes have also been
recommended for use at the time of
fall worming, to destroy by contact any
Of the young larvae that many have
escaped the hooking" and "worming'
methods. Reliance in borer control
should be placed on worming, using
washes merely as al adjunct.
Protectors.
Tree protectors of various materials
and styles have been long recommend
ed and are more or less used by or
chardists. They are intended princi-
pally to protect peach, apple and other
fruit trees from attack by borerS, mice
and rabbits. They are placed around
the tree trnnk and extend from n few
inches below Abe surface Of the ground
10 a foot OF more above the ground
level.
Heavy wrapping paper and tarred
psper wrapped around the tree trunk
and securely fastened with strong
Irvine have been used extensively as
well as wooden veneer protectors. CYL
lnders Of wire screening are employed
with the idea Of preventing the adults
Of apple-tree borers from depOSiting
their eggs on the lower part Of the
trea

OUR LEADING WAR FOODS

THE situation is such that
chief emphasis should be given
to the production of the great

cial stress on wheat and hogs,

lieved that the necessary pro-
duction can be secured through
the use of the beSt-known farm

sary to a small extent to sacri-
fee certain of the less important
