BOOSTS FOR LITTLE CHICKS
Difficult t" Keep Youngsters Clean II
They Are Permitted to Re-
main en- Floor.

It is often advisable to teach the
chicks to roost when eight to twelve
weeks of age. When they are allowed
to remain on the floor 1T is difficult to
keep them clean and to keep them
from crOwding. If wide roosts-three
to four inches-are used there is but
little, if any, more danger of crooked
breasts than If the chicks are allowed
to remain on the floor.
The chicks can generally be taught
20 roost by p1tting the perches near
the floor and placing with them one
or two old hens or older chicks that
are in the habit Of rOOsting. If this
plan is incOnvenient or does not prove
effective, the chicks may be placed on
the perches after dark for few
nights, until they have learned to go
there of their own accord, say poultry
specialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.

BEST HOUSES FOR CHICKENS
Several Plans and Arrangements Be-

In the manner Of housing fowls there
are two systems widely different in
their extremes. At one extremeis the
colony plan, which consists in placing
small houses for small f1ocks far
enough part to ebviate the necessity
of fences, thus giving free range with
but little mingling of the different
ffocks. At the other extreme we have
the continuous house. This kind Of
house consists of series of separate
pens, under one roof, opening directly
into hallway in the rear, or having
doors between the pens without the
hallway, or opening into hallway and
also into one another. There are sew
eral plans and arrangements between
these two extremes which may be built
to suit varying conditions.

DRUGS INJURE DAIRY CATTLE
Iowa State College Experiments Show
Decrease Rather Than Increase

The use of drugs with the idea of
increasing the fat production of test
COWS has been tried out by Iowa State
College dairy section. In most cases
it was found that drugs decreased
rather than increased the fat produc-
ton.
Such drugs as alcohol. castor oil,
pitultrin, alOes, magnesium sulphate,
nux vomica and sodium chloride were
tried and in all cases they were detri-
mental to the COWS. All cows used
were In good normal condition at the
start of the tests and various sizes of
doses were used.
In some cases it was found that the
flow of milk and butterfat was in
creased slightly but this soon fell Off

ticed.
Up to date no drug has been found
that will increase and it is strongly
advised by the dairy men not to re-
sort to this method as it Injuries the
cows and is not fair way to gain a
record.

TEST OUT BROODING SYSTEM
Greatest Loss Is Due to Chilling Re-
ceiVed While Being Transferred
From Incubator.

Chickens are usually left in the in
cubator from "a to SO hours after
hatching, without feeding, before they
are removed TO the brooder, which
should have been in operation for a
day or two at the proper temperature
for receiving the chickens, say special
lists of the United States department
OF agriculture. A beginner should try
his brooding system carefully before
he uses it. After placing the chicken
in the brooder they can be given feed
and water. Subsequent loss in chick
ems is frequently dne to chilling re-
ceived while taking them from the in
euBator to the brooder. They should
be moved in q covered basket or re-
ceptacle in cool or cold weather.

In pushing COWS for shOrt-time rec

fat is used ; that is, the COW is allowed
to freshen in very fat condition and
will test very high when her record
is being made two or four weeks after
freshening. There have been cases
where cows have tested from two to
three per cent higher during this pc
riod than the normal test for her dis
closes and this test would be much
higher than during the last part Of her

factories, practically all the butter and
cheese used is bought instead of made
on the farm, says the United States
department of agriculture. Very few
farmers buy whole milk. About four
fifths of the dairy products consumed
by farmers are produced on the home
farm.
In the South dairy products are used
very freely. Tie common practice 10
to churn the whole milk for butter,
producing a large quantity Of butter
milk. The average annual consumption
of butter per family is about 23O
pounds in the South while for families
in the North and West it is less than
$50 pounds. It is not unusual for the
average-sized family in the South to
consume 1000 quarts Of buttermilk
year. Buttermilk is a cooling and
healthful drink for that climate.
