Do Not 0yerfeed Young Fowls,

Specialists.
MOST DANGEROUS PRACTICE
Yoik of Egg Absorbed by Youngster
While Matching Furnishes Suffi-
cient Nourishment for First
Forty-Eight Hours.

Whether a few or many chickens are
raised, the problem of feeding is the
same. Baby chicks should not be fed
for from "a to 80 hours after Matching
and will not suffer if given no feed
until they are 4S hours old. The yOlk
of the egg which is absorbed by the
chick when Matching furnishes all the
nourishment required during that time.
After the second day chicks should be
fed four or five times daily for the first
week or ten days, but only small
amount at time.
Chicks will grow faster if fed four
or five times daily than by feeding
three times daily, but they should be
given only what they will eat up clean
each time. Overlooking viii do more
harm than underfeeding; therefore only
enough should he given each time to
satisfy their hunger and keep them cX-
crCiSing Greater care must be eXeT-
cised not to ovcrfccf young chicks
that are confined than those that have
free range, as leg weakness is apt to
result In those confined.

SPECIALISTS FAVOR
FEEDING BY HOPPER
Flock Is Insured Against Faulty
or insufficient Ration.
Greater Egg Yield Will Result Where
Hens Are Permitted to Get What
They Want-Important That
Growth Be Rapid.

With scarcely an exception, every
poultryman and every farmer who
keeps hens should hopper-feed dry
mash. If the hens are allowed free
range, as they should in the case Of
the farm flock. they are expected to
pick up considerable part Of their
living from the wasted material about
the fields and barnyard.
1t Is difficult to estimate how much
of such material the hens are finding.
and as q result the farmer may think
that the hens are getting plenty of
feed, when as a matter of fact they
are not getting more than enough to
keep them alive, and therefore they
cannot do much in the way Of laying
eggs, but a dry mash provided in a
hopper, where the hens can help them
selves at will, will insure the flock
against insufficient or faulty feeding
and will result in a greater egg yield.
Often. too, in the case of those
who are specializing in poultry keep
ing, judgment as to the amount of
feed to give by hand may be faulty
and Il supply of dry mash inSures the
hen an opportunity to get what she
needs In order to remain producer.
In raising young stock, specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture point ont, 1t is important
that the growth be rapid and even. A
setback in growth is a handicap from
which the chick never entirely recOv-
ers. Regardless of how the growing

VITAL. IMPORTANCE OF ROADS
Modern Medicine Points Out There Are
Few Physicians and Nurses In
Rural Communities.

That good roads are Of vital i'm

In rural communities Is shown In an
articles In Modern Medicine. 1t is
pointed out by the writer that there
are few physicians, few nurses, and
practically no hospital facilities In
rural districts. In some communi-
Hes, even In older states, there Is only
one practicing physician to 1,50O popu-
lation. Hardships Of travel make
young physicians scarce. Better high

The Pekin probably is the most pop

When mating the breeding pens, do
not use any fowl which is in anything
but the best of health.
Keep plenty of fresh water, fine
grit and charcoal before the chicks.
Always use lukewarm water.
Keep the turkey shed very clean
and disinfect it frequently, for tur-

Cleanliness means dollars TO the
poultry grower. Clean hOvers, clean
roOsting houses, clean nests, clean
water and clean food.
A fowl that shows signs of sickness
should at once be removed from the
main flock and kept by itself. Then
the disease will not spread.
Overlooking seems to be one of the
evils that Is usually INDUCED in when
feeding the hrooder chicks. Especial
ly is this the case with beginners.
Whenever fowl dies from any
