FEEDING OF CHICKS IS
IMPORTANT MATTER

sTARKv1LLE, Miss, May 22. (Spl.)
Young chicks should not be fed from
"a to 36 hours after Matching. as the
yolk of egg which is absorbed by the
chick furnishes all the nourishment re-
quired by this time. At the start It is
advisable to feed five times a day,
dividing the day into equal periods and
alternating a mash of soft feed, such
as J~ohnnycake, with a hard grain or
scratch feed. A good grain scratch nix
ture is made as follows:
Finely cracked corn, five pounds;
wheat. three pounds; pinhead oatmeal,
hulled or rolled oats. two pounds. IN
the absence of wheat, tracked kaff1r
corn or sorghum seed may be sub
stituted. Should breeders not care to
mix this grain ration at home, nigh
grade commercial grain chick feed may
be purchased. Feed this grain mix
ture morning, noon and night n scat
ter in chaff or litter so the chicks may
exercise by scratching for it.
In addition to grain ration. chicks
should be fed middle of forenoon and
afternoon of the first 10 days or two
weeks Johnnycake made as follows:
Five pounds corn meal, six eggs. pref
erably infertile, one tablespoonful bak.
ing soda. Mix we'll with milk to make
a stiff batter and bake well.
Skim milk, either sweet or sour, n
buttermilk are especially valuable feeds
for young and growing chicks. The milk
should be given as a drink in vessels
from which the chicks can take it
without soiling one another with it.
and should be given in addition to
/! water. To round out an ideal ration
for young and growing chicks they
must have some form of green feed.
Any tender green stuff, such as radish
tops, lettuce, sprouted oats. etc, should
be constantly supplied or the chicks
given access to a range where they
can get plenty of green grass.
