KEEP CHICKS IN
BEST CONDITION
Young Fowls When Old Enough
to Shift for Themselves
Must Be Given Care.
NEGLECT IS CAUSE OF LOSS
Bulletin Given Out by Department Of
Agriculture Especially for Begin
ners Gives Essentials for
Proper Growth.

prepared by the United States Depart
nent of Agricultural
The enthusiasm with which many
poultry raisers, particularly begin
ners, start in the spring with young
chicks sometimes lags as the season
advances and the chicks get old
enough to shift for themselves. If care
is neglected at this period, however,
success is improbable. The baby
chicks may be smart little fellows
from strong, vigorous parent stock.
and they may have been brooded care
fully for the first two or three weeks,
but unless they receive proper care
and management during their later
growing period they will not develop
properly, and many of them will be
lost by sickness and disease. This is
the timely warning made by poultry
men Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in Farmers Bull
letin I'LL. Management of Growing
Young Chicks" published by the de.
partment in which is given the essen
tials to proper growth and develop
ment of chicks. The bulletin is writ
ten briefly and in simple terms for be-
ginners, especially members of boys
and girls poultry clubs.
Suitable Food and Care.
The chief essentials to the proper
growth of chicks, according to the bull
letin, are good coops, or houses, clean
linpSS prODar feed and water shade
and free range. Growing chicks
should be provided with large, rOomy
cOops or houses, which will give them
comfortable place to stay at night
and during stormy weather. The bull
letin suggests no particular kind of
house, but states it should be so built
that it will provide the chicks with
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1921-06-03

plenty of light, pure air and sunshine,
and protect them from dampness and
storms of all kinds.
Chicks should never be crowded in
brood cOOps, for crOwding will cause
them to become overheated, resulting
in improper growth and sometimes in
dead chicks.
Sickness or disease usually starts
in unclean quarters, and in such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says The cOopS
should be cleaned and sprayed once a
week, and clean shavings, chaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and if found they should be
gotten rid of at once. Farmers Bull
letin ITO gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Kafir corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats A supply of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty of it
ii they have free range, but if kept in
confinement, lawn grass, beet tops
cabbage, lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro
vided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When soul
milk can be obtained it should also

name assumed by cody of soldiers
from Vermont In the Revolutionary

the most advanced races Of the Old
World were on the border line between
savagery ana barbarisn. 1t far ante
dates any but the simplest mechanical
arts. Yet, while our knowledge of the
laws of nature as they apply to ma
chimes has reached great magnitude
and completely, it has been compare
lively few years since the principles
Of breeding have been more than col
lection Of unrelated traditional beliefs.
The same superstitions on which the
shepherds of Asia based their practices
at least 30 centuries ago are still wide
ly current, while the one sound princi-
pie known to the ADMINISTRATION of
the best for breeding stock-is still
much neglected.
The principles of successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned by
practical experience in the United
States and older countries, and by care
full scientific study along definite lines,
are outlined in Bulletin 9O5, recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
This bulletin goes into the first prin'
ciples of reproduction and follows with
the means by which certain character
istics of one or the other parent are
transmitted to the offspring, the meth
DDS of selection best suited to intensity
the desirable characteristics and weed
out the undesirable, the characters
iap Wh oh u,ffh a inf hn ny-
pected to continue from one generation
to another, those which are uncertain
and those which cannot be inherited.
Aside from mere increase in num-
bers, the purposes which the breeder is
likely to have In mind fall under two
more or less distinct heads, namely,
production of uniform product, and
Improvement. A uniform product de-
ponds on such control over the heredity
of the stock that matingS can be made
with the assurance that the offspring
will be of certain definite type for
which there is demand. Improvement
is, Of course, closely related to control
over heredity, but the methods which
give the greatest control are not neces-
sarily those which lead to the most
rapid Improvement
In a broad sense the whole subject
of practical breeding comes under the
head of selection. The most obvious
basis for such selection is the perform
ance of the animals themselves. IN
fortunately, the merits of most kinds
of live stock cannot be measured direct
ly. The study of conformation as an
index of useful qualities has according
ly held a high place as basis for Sc
lection of breeding stock. Live stock
judging has this for it's purpose. An
animal of good breeding is better one
to breed than one of equal individual
merit but of mixed or common breed
ing. Pedigree, though often misused,
is a valuable aid to selection, apart
from following a general policy of mat
ing. The soundest basis of all for Sc
lection of breeding stock is the record
of past performance as a breeder, pro-
vided the record is sufficiently extern
sive to give fair test.

most of the other breeds can be kept
in by six-foot fence. Hamburgs and
Leghorns may be kept in the yards by
clipping the flight feathers on one
wing Gates should be provided in
order to permit access from one yard
to the next.
If convenient, 1t is well to have dou-
bic yards, for then one may rotate
green crops. The yards may be sown
to oats, wheat, or rye. and while the
fowls are using one yard the green
feed in the other can be getting u
fresh start.
When the yards are to be on only
one side of the house, they should be
on the south side in order that the
fowls may have the benefit of the first
dry ground in early spring. 1t not in
frequently happens that in localities
where snow is abundant the ground
on the south side is dry many days
before. that on the north side.
If the yards are to be in permanent
sod and are to furnish green feed for
the fowls, 10 to so square feet should
be allowed for each bird poultry spe-
cialists in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture say. If part Of
the green feed is to be otherwise pro-
vided for and the yards used mainly
for exercise grounds. 35 to 40 square
feet per bird will be sufficient,
Shade of some kind should be pro-
vided, and this can often be ad-
vantageously furnished by planting
fruit trees (such as pears, plums cher
fies, and apples) in the yard.

TO REMOVE TATTOO MARKS
Process 10 by No Means Easy, Though
Modern Science Has Shown II
to 30 Practicable.

Tattooing is the mechanical intro
duction Of pigments under the skin
and very wellknown process. The
pigments employed are carbon, CHINA
bar. carmine and indigo.
Most methods employed to remove
these marks, says Science and 1nven-
ton, are by reactive and a destruc-
tive Inflammation which will result
in the formation Of a crust, later cast
off together with tattooed markings.
One method is to retattoo the marks
with a solution Of 30 parts Of zinc
Chord and 40 parts Of water. A
mild Inflammation will result; crust
forms and about week later this
falls off. leaving a scar which gradual
ly heals. Later a repetition Of this
may be necessary. This may be done
by the professional tattooer.
The second method is to tattoo
again, making the punctures close to-
gether after the design has been drawn
over With a concentrated solution of
tannin. A stick Of silver nitrate is
then firmly drawn over the surface
and after a period of several minutes
it is then wiped off. This is far more
effective than the first and less scar
forms. Two other substances, per-
haps more efficient than either Of the
above, and applied in the same man
ner as the first, are caroid and glyce-
role of papoid.

The site Of ST. Marks church is the
oldest chuYch site in New York and
has been c6nsccrated to religious serv-
ice for 200 years. Peter Stuyvesant,
the Dutch governor of New Neither
lands, erected the first little private
chapel in 1900. He and his wife, Ju-
tlitl, were buried underneath the chap
ell. In her will she left the church to
the Dutch Reformed Church Of New
York. providing that the tomb be pre-
served. The building was allowed to
fall into decay until 1903, when Petrhs
Stuyvesant, Il great-grandson, proposed
to- the vestry of Trinity church that
an Episcopal church be erected Oh the
site. the cornerstone OF which was laid

8, 1909. The stecple was added In
1920 and the porch few years later.
Since 1859 no material changes in the
