zen 80 e.poscd that thew have

been so exposed that they have n
chance to produce anything; man.
produce weak uhlivable chicks. Egg
intended for Matching should b.
gathered often and kept in . clean
cool place. A pantry is not suitable
The embryo chicks starts development
at = temperature of from 10 to 80 de
grees Fahrenheit. This temperature
is not sufficient for incubation, so ths
germ dies, and the chance to produce
chick is gone.
Eggs should be placed in incubation
by the time they are ten days old
Eggs may hatch that are older and re-
suits may be good, but the fresher
eggs are better. Turn the eggs care
fully each day while saving for hatch
ing.
Some causes Of infertility are: I'M
mature or extremely aged breeders,
the former the more common cause,
saving eggs for Matching too soon al
ter mating; breeding stock low in Wit
atty; over-fat breeders, insufficient
animal protein; lack Of green food;
insufficient exercise; excess Of fe-
males to males; unsuitable environ
ment.
Broody hens should be removed
from the general flock when brooding.
They should be tried out for few
days on china eggs. Broody hens
should be set down near the ground.
Better still is to hollow out nest
shaped hole in the ground and line it
with clean straw. There are two rea-
sons why 1t is best for hens to set on
the ground. In the early season there
is danger Of chilling the chick embryo,
and later there is danger Of evapora-
ton. Moisture is necessary to sue
cessful incubation. In dry atmos-
pheres, pour about a quart Of luke
warm water around the nest each day
not in the nest, but around the edge
Of it. The same method will apply to
wooden nests with good results.
A hen is very faithful--so much so
that it is quite common for hens to
lie on the nest while brooding, eaten
up by lice and mites. A few applica-
ions of louise powder will prevent this
condition. Chicks soon fall prey to
ice and mites if not kept clean.
Great damage can be done by feed
ng chicks too soon. The yolk of the
Egg is taken into the chicks body just

before Matching. Any attempt to feed
before natures food has been nearly
consumed is likely to derange diges-
ton and result in white diarrhoea. A
good first feed is to throw . limited
amount Of rolled oats on the floor,
only the amount that the chicks will
clean up in about one hour. Rolled
oats are very nutritious, are relished
by the chicks and are excellent as
first feed; but their continued use is
not advisable. Hard-boiled eggs,
ground in food chopper and mixed
with dry bread crumbs, may be sue
cessfully used as a first feed. Feed
grit to aid digestion; shell and bone
to supply lime for bone development,
and charcoal to keep digestion in or
der. Sand may suffice for grit but
will not be as effective as sharp gran
tie grit. Shell and bone should be
chick size, as found in commercial
form in nearly every feed store. Keep
plenty Of fresh water before them con-
stantly in clean driking founts Little
chicks must never be overfed. A
good practice is to feed them four or
five times day during the first feed
ing week, gradually dimishing the
number Of feelings until the end of
the second week. Cracked grains may |
be fed three times day and dry mask
kept before them all the time after
the second week. Sloppy, wet foods
should be avoided. Feed only what
the chicks will eat up quickly, so that
they will be anxious and greedy for
the next feed. Provide plenty Of
green, succulent food. Sprouted oats,
lettuce, rape, mangels, beets and cab
bage are good green foods. Green
foods is as necessary for chicks as for
laying hens. Feed all Of the spare
milk, such as buttermilk, separator
milk, and clabbered milk, to the chicks.
II it is clean, sour milk is best for
owls.

MATCHING AND
CARE OF CHICKS
by Prem Moore)

(The following article is condensed
from a longer article by Mr.. Moore,
written for circulation among poul-
try producers. 1t may be obtained
from the extension division.)
The first essential to good chick is
good breeding stock. Good breeding
means thrifty stock, and purebred II
possible Thrift or vitality is the es-
sence Of success in poultry breeding.
Weak stock produces weak chicks.
Weak chicks develop slowly and are
not likely to be profitable Weak
chicks should be killed while small.
They usually die anyway, SO it is bet
ter to kill them before they have an
opportunity to contract some disease,
and endanger the entire flock.
All chicks should be Matched by the
first of May; March and early April
chicks are best. Early Matched pull
lets start laying in early fall and lay
all winter. The profit from poultry is
derived from egg production, and the
ability Of hen to lay depends very
largely upon the start she has as a
chicks. Set select eggs. Large eggs
produce large chicks; small eggs pro-
duce small chicks. Large hens lay
large eggs. and the size and weight
Of eggs is very important from mar
ket standpoint. Uniformly large, re-
gular-shaped eggs produce the best
chicks.
Hens make the best breeders in the
second and third laying seasons; by
this time they produce large eggs, and
the breeder has had the advantage Of
observing their individual possibilities
In the pullet year.
Early cockerels may be used with
good results and when we'll developed,
the very best possible results can be
expected. II, for any reason, it be-
comes necessary to use pullets for
breeders, they should be Matched ear
ly. fully matured and mated with old
cocks, never with cockerels.
Select clean eggs. If the eggs are
laid in filthy nests or kept under I'M
adorable conditions, the percentage Of
purity is reduced. Many eggs have

The following item of more than
passing interest to the people of this
section appears in Spokane dispatch
to the Boise Statesman: problems
of winter transportation in mountain
regions, particularly in numbering and
mining, have been solved by a snow
motor built in Spokane and in opera
ton for the Idaho Continental mine
near Porthill, Idaho. The machine
now in operation for the last seven
days between the mine and Flume sta
ton, Ia miles apart, over steep grades
and through snow where horses would
be unable to move even without a
wagon hitehed to them. This new
motor is hauling seven tons of con-
centrates with ease and making two
round trips daily, and could make
three. 1t stops easily on descending
steep grade and starts easily from
motionless position ascending the
same steep grade. 1t ran up 25 per
cent grade through unbroken snow six
feet deep. The machine, operated by
not more than two men, and by one if
necessary, does the work of Is horses
and four men, and has been made to
do the work of "a horses and six men
when operated three shifts. 1t oper-
ates equally well over slush, snow or
ice."

After all, it is the people of Cal ifornia themselves who are very largely responsible for conditions which they are now trying to rem edy, at the risk of involving the whole United States in difficulties with the Orient. It was not so very many years ago that Californians welcomed the opportunity to en- ploy low salaried Japanes servants, to the exclusion of American girls whose services were for hire .as domestics. Alien land laws and the exclusion of Asiatics could have been engineered safely in those days but such was the condition of public mind that far-sighted persons like Dr. C. C. O'Donnell, were ridiculed when they advocated immigration re- forms.
