The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1920-02-12

the most mat ever nnfchcd rom one
setting and that didn't happen but
once didn't have good luck with my
chickens The cggs didn't hatch very
well, and ! couldn't tell the reason
why In one setting there was not
an egg Matched. ! .hought II WAS be.
cause the hen didn't set on them all
the time. She would 10 OF the nest
and stay al day long.
After the hen sat on the eggs three
weeks | took her of and the eggs
had Matched. | put the chickens with
her and fed them some corn bread.
The insects that bothered my chick
ems were chicken ticks, mites and a
few fleas | took some scalding hot
water and put II in the chicken house
and scaldcd part OF them. Then |
burnt the straw that was in the nest
and got rid Of part Of them, but there
IL still some more in there
After while the chickens grew
up and some Of them smothered.
Some drowned, and some Just laid
down and died. The ROSTERS are big
enough 10 crow.
Here is a verge that ! have read.
III HdIfbN Why's OF uttilllR
With our work. we get the feeling
Z BY some one else our work cannot
/ be done.
We're like the rooster, knowing,
Who thinks il is his Growing
That bring about the rising Of the
sun.
I My rooster doesn't only think that
he bring about the rising Of the sun
but he brings about the rising Of
me
Our club has enjoyed our meetings
very much, one time especially, and
that was when we played some games
such as. "The Cracker Race" "The
Living Alphabet" "The Newspaper
Race" and "The Chair Race" the last
Of school
The number Of chickens that we
ate'here nc home were six frying size
ones | have not sold any chickens,
but ! have sold s345 worth Of eggs.
/ The first thing ! was to do to get
my chickens ready for the fair was
to build a pen. | built pen about
! two weeks before the fair and put
the chickens in il and the first thing
! knew those chickens were out OF
the pen running around just as il
they had never seen a pen before. |
caught the mand put them back in
and fixed the hole where they got
out fed them and went to the house
and they got out again. | put them
back in two or three more times but
they stayed out the last time.
Then ! got some gloss starch and
tried to clean their feathers with il.
but couldn't so | washed good with
water and soap. Then made coop
TO take them TO the fair in.
The club work has helped me to
learn how 20 set eggs and how long
J, takes them TO hatch Il has helped
me to learn how TO care for chick
ems and how 20 feed them and how
old they should be before they are
fed or watered Ii has caused me 10
have good times at the meetings that
wouldn't nave had If had not
joined the club Il has also helped
me to make money by selling chickens
and eggs
OF course, care for other chick
ems besides mine but | care mostly
for mine The other chickens that |
raise are White Leghorns.
Here is a song that ! made from
another one
Wyandotte eggs in loamy plain,
Makes them hatch If We get rain
