r,HE management ana brooding
OF young chicks necessitate
L the maximum Of conscientious
attention In order that every possible
comfort ana facility be provided for
the rapid ana economical development
OF the baby flock
The broodins Of chickens II one
Of the most critical operations, espe-
cially for the beginner. Many poultry
keepers who are able TO secure good
egg yields and fair matches fail in
broodins chickens, either by raising
only small percentage Of the chick
ems Matched or by falling to rear
strong. vigorous birds which develop
into good breeding stock.
Sitting hens should DO confined to
slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens whom

should DO removed as soon as dry to q
basket lined with flannel or some other
warm material, and kept near n fire
until all the eggs are Matched: or the
eggs may be removed and placed un-
der q euieter hen whose eggs are
Matching at tho same time. An incu.
bator may also be used TO keep the
earliest Matched chickens warm In
case they are removed from the nest.
If the eggs hatch unevoniy, those
which are slow in Matching may be
rlaoed under other hens. as hens often
get restless after q part Of tho chickens
are out, allowing the remaining eggs
to become cooled at the very time
when steady heat Ia necessary. he.
move the egg shells ana any eggs
which have not Matched o. soon as
the Matching 10 over. Hens should be
fed as soon as possible after the eggs
are Matched, as feeding tends to keep
them quiet; otherwise many hens will
leave the nest. In most cases st IL

The fact should not be overlooked
that the man who breeds for standard
requirements and therefore for beauty
In his fowls has something which the
casual observer can see and appre-
ciate and develops In his birds quail

breeding stock. On the other hand, II
he has only ess production to com
mend his stock he must tell the pur-
chaser about It, for there is little or
nothing which the prospective buyer
can see in the birds themselves that
indicates whether or not the strain is
a good producing one.

twenty-four hours after the Matching
is over.
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 be-
come thick on the chickens. or II they
are troubled with head lice," @ very
little grease, such as lard or vaseline,
may be applied with the fingers on tho
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 IL will
stop their growth and In some cases
may prove fatal.
The hen should be confined IN the
coop until the chicks are weaned,
while the chickens are allowed free
range after they are q few days old
Where hens are allowed free range

loss and death of these chicks. II the

THE UTILITY SHOW RING TYPE.

The old time so-called dyed In the

In producing birds OF high exhibition

Germ in their ability to produce eggs.

breeders OF standard bred poultry 10
see that II they are to take advantage
Of all possible profitable outlets for
their stock they must pay more atten-
ton TO productiveness. There is a
happy medium between the high quail
ity show ring type and the productive
egg yielding type. Breeders OF exhibit

FEED CHICKS FREQUENTLY.

Feed young chickens three to Ave
times daily. according to the owners
experience in poultrying. DO not over
feed. Furnish small quantities Of food,
Of the young fowls. and keep them
exercising during the daytime. But at
the evening meal allow the chicks to
eat all they want. Greater care must
be exercised not 10 overfeed young
chicks that are confined than those
