A FIRELEss BRooDER
FOR MoTHERLEsS CHICKS.

It is satisfactory for the small
flock owner. It can be used out
doors only in reasonably warm
weather; in cold weather keep it
in room which is at least part
" Gated.
You can make it yourself. AS
the construction is very simple,
many people prefer to build rath-
er than buy them. The body
heat. of the chickens is the
source of warmth. A box Is
inches square and 8 inches deep
makes a good hover of this type.
Adjustable quilts or covers are
used. The number and position
of the quilts over the chickens
in this box are regulated accord
ing to weather and the number
Of chicks. In very cold weather
the quilts should sag so as to
rest on the backs of the newly
Matched chicks, and there should
be little or no empty space in
the hover. In warmer weather
or with Older chickens the quilts
) or covers are raised or part of
them removed. From IL to 40
chicks are usually placed in a
, freless brooder, 25 being the av-
erage number, while small lots
. do better than larger ones under
this method. When first placed
in the fireless brooder, the
chicks may have to be put under
the hovers frequently until they
learn where to get warm.

TREATING FROZEN
COMBS OF FOWLS

Parts Before They Have
Chance to ThaW.

tain Front Favored.

The extreme cold weather this win
ter mas caused unusual damage
through frosted combs and wattles of
fowls. In the large-cOmb breeds both
cocks and hens are affected. The fe-
males of the breeds, having medium
sized combs, are not often seriously in
jured by frost, but when the mercury
goes below zero the combs and wattles
OF the males are often very badly
nipped.
Treat Before ThaWing.
When first frozen the comb and wat
ties retain their normal color, except
for a slight whiteness of the skin of
the frozen parts. After the affected
parts thaw out they turn dark in color,
and there is more or less Inflammation
In them and the adjacent parts. Treat
ment is most beneficial if first applied
before the frozen parts begin to thaw.
At this stage the best treatment is to
rub with cold vaseline or lard, manipu-
iating gently with the fingers to draw
the frost gradually and restore circu-
Iation. When the frost is out anoint
the parts with mixture of 5 table
spoonfuls vaseline, 2 tablespoonfuls
glycerine, 1 tablespoonful turpentine.
Apply this two or three times day,
keeping the bird in a cool (not cold)
place. If the frostbite is not noticed
until thawing has occurred, omit the
first rubbing.
Use Of VaseIine.
The thin wattles of males are most
susceptible, especially when they are
wet as the bird drinks. In severe cold
weather it is best not to give males ac-
cess to open drinking vessels except
during the warmer hours of the day.
The combs are usually frosted at night
when the birds are on the roosts. A
curtain of burlap or Of cotton cloth
hung before the roost will often keep

dottes, Rhode Island Reds and Orp-
ingtons are all good varieties for the
average person who does not intend to
go into the poultry business on con-
siderable scale. These breeds are good
layers and they also make good table
poultry. Furthermore, they will hatch
their own eggs and brood their own
chickens, whereas the Leghorns and
other breeds Of the egg-laying class do
not sit, and the use of expensive incu-
bators and brooders is necessary In
order to perpetuate these flocks.
