Did you ever watch Mrs. Cock Rob-
In care for her young2 She builds
for them downy, comfortable nest
she rustles plenty Of choice worms to
satisfy their hunger; In her every ac-
tion she shows care and sOlicitude
for the welfare Of her brood. Simi-
larly, the management and brooding of
young chicks necessitate the maximum
OF conscientious attention in order that
every possible comfort and facility be
provided for the rapid and economical
development Of the baby flock. On
many poultry farms the brOOdIng of
chickens Is one Of the most critical
operations, especially for the beginner.
Rearing Chickens With Hen.
Sitting hens should be confined to
slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching, In which case the chickens
should be removed as soon as dry to q
basket lined with flannel or some other
warm material. and keep near a fire
until all the eggs are hatched; or the
eggs may be removed and placed un.
der q Quieter hen whose eggs are
Matching at the same tipe. An incu-
bator may. also be used to keep the
earliest hatched chickens warm, in
case they are removed from the nest.
II the eggs hatch unevenly, those
which are slow In Matching may be
placed under other hens, as hens often
get restless after part Of the chick
ems are out, allowing the remaining
eggs to become cooled at the very time
when steady heat Is necessary. Re-
move the egg shells and any eggs
which have not hatched as soon as the
Matching IL. over. Hens should be fed
as soon as possible after the eggs are
hatched, as feeding tends to keep them
quiet; otherwise many hens will
leave the nest. In most cases 1t is
best that the hen remain on the nest
and brood the chickens for at least
"a hours after the Matching Is over.
Dustlng the Hen.
The hen should be powdered with a
goOd insect powder before moving her
and the chickens to the brood coop.
She should be busted every two weeks,
or as often as necessary until the
chickens are weaned. II lice become
thick on the chickens. or II they are
troubled with head lice. a very little
grsnse. such as lard or vaseline. may
be applied with the fingers ON the
head. neck. under the wings, and
around the vent. Great care should
be taken. however. not to get too much
grease on the chickens, as 1t will stop
their growth and In some cases may
prove fatal.
The hen should be confined IN the

LOSS FROM EROSION
IN UNITED STATES
Trouble Occurs in Every State In
the Union.
rsrraelne 10 the Most Effective Meth
od Of stopping Washing Away Of
eolI-other Means That
May BE Employed.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Soil erosion, or the washing away
Of earth by water. costs the farmers
Of the United States $1.OOOOOO every
year. Soil losses from this cause occur
In every state OF the Union and in nj.
most every county Of every state. Nine
years ago the National Conservation
congress reported that 100000 acres
Of farm land had been practically
ruined by soil erosion.
Terraclng Is the most effective
method Of stopping erosion. Other
means that should be employed In con-
nection with terrncing are deep plow-
Ing. growing cover crops, plowing un-
der organic matter, contour plowing,
and undertaking.
Since erosion Is due largely to the
rapid movement of the rain water
over the surface of the ground, meth
DDS Of preventing erosion must cause
the water either to sink into the soil or
drainage chaanel. II the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as II
falls. there would be very little ero'
sion.
In order to drink up surface water
rapidly soil must be very permeable,
which means that il must contain fair.
ly large open spaces through which
the rain water can pass easily, or
where It can be stored temporarily.
Some soils are naturally very perme-
able. A number Of ways of increasing
the permeability Of soil are deep
plowing, plowing under organic matter
such as manure, stubble. stalks and
cover crops; the practice Of tile drain.
age and, In certain soils. the use of
explosives.
Vegetation covering the surface OF
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action Of the rain and checks
the flow Of the water over the sur
face. giving the soil better oppor.
tunity to absorb the water. 1t Is there
fore important that some kind OF
cover crop. such as vetch, clover, oats
wheat or rye. be grown on the land
during the winter or at any time that
the land is not used for other crops.

coop until the chicks are weaned,
while the chickens are allowed free
range after they are few days old.
Where hens are allowed free range
and have to forage for feed for them
selves and the chicks. they often take
them through wet grass. where the
chicks may become chilled and die.
Most Of the feed the chicks secure In
this manner goes to keep up the heat
Of the body, whereas feed eaten by
those that are with hen that is con.
fined produces more rapid growth, as
the chicks do not have too much ex-
ercise. Then, too, In most broods
there are one or two chicks that are
weaker than the others, and IL the
hen Is allowed free range the weaker
ones often get behind and out Of the
hearing Of the mothers cluck and call.
In most cases this results in the loss
and death Of these chicks.
Milk Mashes Good for Chicks.
The young chicks may be fed any
time after they are SO to 48 hours old,
whether they are with hen or In
brOoder. The first feed may contain
either hard-boiled eggs, johnnycake,
stale bread. pinhead oatmeal. or rolled
oats, which feeds or combinations may
be used with good results. Mashes
mixed with milk are Of considerable
vnlue In giving the chickens a good
start In life. but the mixture should
be fed In crumbly mass and not in
sloppy condition. After the chickens
are two months old they may be fed
four times daily, and after three
months old three times daily, with
good results. Johnnycake composed Of
the following ingredients In the pro-
portions named is very good feed for
young chicks: One dozen infertile
eggs or one pound Of sifted beef scrap
to ten pounds Of cornmeal; add
enough milk to make a pasty mash,
one tablespoonful Of baking soda, and
bake until done. Dry bread crumbs
may be mixed with hard-boiled eggs,
making about One-fourth Of the mix
ture eggs, or rolled oats may be used
In place Of the bread crumbs. Feed
the bread crumbs, rolled oats, or
johnnycake mixtures FIVE times daily
for the first week, then gradually sub
stitute for one or two feeds Of the
mixture finely cracked grains of equal
parts by weight Of cracked wheat, fine
ly cracked corn, and pinhead oatmeal
or hulled oats, to which about per
cent Of cracked peas or broken rice
and per cent Of charcoal. millet or
rape seed may be added. A CONNER
cial chick feed may be substituted II
desired. The above ration can be
fed until the chicks are two weeks
old. when they should be placed ON
grain and dry or wet mash mixture.

THE BOULEVARD
Civic League President Writes
Van Name In Matter
81 Special Correspondents.
W~1NFWT

TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 29:-The
extension of the %Southfield boulevard
from it's present dead end is being
made by the Staten Island Civic
League in a recent letter to Borough
President Calvin u. VanName. The
letter which vas written by DR.. Louis
A. Dreyfus, president of the Civic
League, to Mr.. NanName follows:
The Staten Island Civic League at
its last meeting directed me to COM
municate with you and the Local
Board and to express to you the
opinion of the league that 1t is very
essential to the progress and devel-
opment OF Staten Island that the
S%outhfeld Boulevard be extended in
both directions so as to afford a
straight thoroughfare from Totem
Vile to st. George.
while we recognize that there are
many questions involved in this pro-
position we feel that these questions
will be properly adjusted by the
Local Board and the Board of Esti-
mate and Apportionment and there
fore we do not enter into the details.
What we do wish to put on record
before the Local Board and before
the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment is the fact hat the compile
ton of the Southfield Boulevard is of
great Importance not only to the bor-
ough of Richmond but also to the
city at large, which would enjoy the
use of such a thoroughfare.
