TO RAISE HEALTHY CHICKENS
Lack Of Vigor in Newly Hatched
Chicks Is Often TraceabIe to
Weakness Of Parents.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricu1ture.)'
To be successful in raising chickens
1t is necessary to have healthy and
vigorous breeding stock, for the lack
of vigor in the newly Matched chicks
is often traceable to weak parents.
Only the most vigorous and the best
grown birds should be put in the
breeding yards. Each bird should be
full of life and energy and free from
any serious deformity. Yearling hens
are usually better than pullets for
breeders, for the reason that the hens
are more mature and do not lay so
many eggs during the early winter,
and consequently do not reduce their
vitality so much before the breeding
season. Vigorous hens 2 to 4 years
old can often be advantageously
retained in the breeding yard. The
male bird chosen should be young and
active. An early Matched. well-devel-

DIPPING CHICKENS FOR LICE
Likely to Become More General Than
Dipping Cattle Because Pest
Is More Numerous.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
"Dip that chick!" It isn't done just
for the sake of making a rhyme for
"dip that tick" either. Dipping chick
ems is likely to become more general
than dipping cattle, because the
chicken louise is a more widely d1strib-
uted insect than the cattle tick. The
"dip" consists Of 1 ounce of sodium
1uoride to the gallon of water, which
should be at temperature of 70 to IS
degrees. The dipping should be done
on q clear, warm day-never on a
cold day. The old way Of getting rid
Of chicken lice was by busting with
dry sodium fuoride. 1t was effective,
but in the case Of large focks it was
slow and wasteful, great deal of the
busting material being inevitably lost.
Recent dipping experiments proved
successful, and the results promise
sure and speedy means of getting rid
Of one of the worst pests of poultry.

Colony Plan of Housing Poultry May

The >curtain-front or partial open

type for most sections. The colony
plan of housing poultry may be
adopted to advantage on many farms
This system does away with the dan
ger of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the
same level, 8 feet from the floor, with
a dropping board about inches be-
low them. Good roOsts may be made
of 2 by inch material with the upper
edges rounded.
The nests may be placed on the
side walls or under the dropping
boards. It is best to have them dark
ened, as the hens prefer a secluded
place in which to lay.
