important, say specialists of the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
Every boy or girl member of a poultry
club should give them the best of at
tentlon If success is to be had The
baby chicks may be smart little fell
lows from strong, vigorous parent
stock, and they may have been brood
ed carefully for the first two or three
weeks, but unless they receive proper
care and management during their
later growing period they will not de-
velop properly, and many of them will
be lost through disease or sickness.
The chief essentials to proper growth
are good coops or houses, cleanliness,
proper feed and water, shade, and
free range.
Every coop and poultry house used
for growing chicks should be kept
clean at all times. Sickness or disease
starts usually in unclean quarters,
and in such places lice and mites are
always more plentiful. Coops and
houses should be cleaned and SPRAYED
once 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
got rid of at once by following the
directions in Department Circular 16,
Lice, Mites, and Cleanliness, which
may be had, free, upon application to
the Division of Publications, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
a variety of feeds, with fresh, clean
water, is necessary if chicks are to
grow properly. Perhaps the three
most necessary for rapid growth are
gram feed, green feed, and dry mash.
Poultry specialists Of the department
say that in addition to the green feed
and dry mash, which should be pro-
vlded regularly, grain mixture
should be fed night and morning, Civ
ing as large quantity as the chicks
Will eat clean, but no more. A good
grain mixture for growing chicks con-
slsts of 3>parts cracked corn, 2 parts
wheat, and 2 parts hulIed oats. When
available, kafir or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hullcd
oats. In localities where hullcd oats,
kafir, or rolled barley can not be OBJ
tanned, on is too expensive, a mixture
OF cracked corn and wheat only may
be fed until the chicks are old enough
to eat whole oats, when 2 parts oats
may be added to the corn and wheat
mixture.
A reasonable supply Of fresh green
feed is almost as necessary as grain
for growing chicks. If allowed lbcr-
ty they will get much Of it for them
selves, but if confined, or if in quar-
tcrs where green feed is not abundant

you see, grew large and muscular,
strong bones, bright eyes, and glossy
hair. Those that did not have milk
added to their diet had weak bones,
because they lacked minerals, es-
pecially lime, which is so abundant in
milk and also milk proteins, which
are unexccllcd for making firm, strong
muscles, They also lacked vitamines,

sential to growth and health. Poor

it should be supplied regularly. Lawn
grass, beet tops, cabbage, and lettuce
are excellent feeds. When chicks are
confined to brood coops with runs,
they should be placed on ground
where the grass is green and tender.
and as fast as it is eaten off, the COOP
ana run should be moved to a place
where the grass is plentiful.

every Child SHOULD DRINK
MILK Three TINES DAILY
How Lime and Vitamines in Milk Pro-
mote Growth and Bone Develop
ment in Children as Well as in
Rats-Milk for Growing Children
Rather Than Tea or Coffee

"What lot of milk you use!" ex
claimed Mrs. Olds, watching the milk
man place 4 quart bottles and pint
on her neighbor's porch step. "What
on earth do you do with it all?"
Mrs. Newson looked somewhat as
tonished. "Why," she replied, 1--WE
drink most Of it, of course. A pint
and half a day or glass each meal
for each Of the three children, the pint
for grandmother, glass or more each
for Mr.. Newsom and myself, and the
rest for breakfast cereals, coffee, and
cooking. In fact, often have to buy
an extra bottle if l want to make a
pudding. Tom, especially since he has
been on the high-school athletic team,
very often uses glass or two more
than I allow for him."
Some Children Do Not Like Milk
Goodness, my children wouldn't
drink milk if I paid them. We only
Ntake 2 quarts a day, and hardly ever
use all of that. My family's larger
than yours, too," Mrs. Olds reflected.
"Seven of the children at home, now
that Maude is married. I often wish
l could get Florence and Ida to take
milk and eggs better. They're both
thin and nervous and seem to get tired
out SO easily. But even Billy wants
his coffee for breakfast and tea for
dinner"
"You don't mean to cay you give A.
year-o]d Billy tea and coffee?"
An illumination Of many points
about her neighbor's family came sud
denly to Mrs. Newsom. She had al
ways supposed the Olds children were
delicate and obviously undernourish-
ed, because there were so many of
them to bring up on small lsalary.
Apparently, however, there had been
very grave blunder in the diet of
the whole family, one which could
have been avoided even with their linn
tied income, because milk is one of the
cheapest sources Of nourishment OBJ.
tainable.
"I wish you might have been with
me yesterday, remarked Mrs. New
som. 81 heard talk about an exhibit
prepared by some milk specialists in
the Dairy Division of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. In
fact, I brought home picture which
illustrated the lecture. I think it
would interest you" She stepped in
side the house for moment, and then
invited her neighbor to sit down while
she explained.
"The exhibit was of some white
rats, and showed the practical results
Of research work done by nutrition
scientists. The lecture explained that
the condition of the rats illustrated
the good effect Of adding milk to an
inadequate diet. The rats having milk

to feed it in hopper inside the build

weeks had more than doubled their
weight at the beginning of the dem
onstration.
"The lecturer explained that the ex-
hibit was not an experiment, because
the facts had already been proved by
experimental evidence. 1t was mere
ly practical illustration.
, "Of course" went on Mrs. Newsom,
1--WE know perfectly well that a baby
will double it's weight in six months
on milk alone, and really we should
not be surprised that these half
grown rats have done the same when
they had all the milk they wished.
"The lecturer showed us the stuffed
pclts, which were absolutely lifelike,
and the mounted skeletons. The milk
fed rats had firm, wcll-formed bones,
because they got plenty of lime, where
as the poor little undernourished ones
had such frail skeletons that some of
them had to be exhibited in bottles in
stead Of being mounted"
Mrs. Olds looked very thoughtful.
'I wonder," she said finally, "wkethcr
the small amount of milk the children
have had would partly account for the
easily broken bones in our family :?
Three Of the children have had frac-
tured arms or legs-and Ida's back
seems SO weak"
at seems probable, though one
can't say positively, Of course, Mrs.
Olds. The lecturer yesterday con-
firmed my belief that milk is better
for child's nerves systems than tea
and coffee, which, as you know, are
not foods at all, and which contain
elements that affect the nerves. It's
q problem to break food habit after
a child once forms it, I know; that is
why l have always avoided starting
the tea and coffee hcbit."
81 believe" said Mrs. Olds, "that
the two youngest children might lis
ten to me if could tell them the
story of the rats-and perhaps show
them the picture"
"lll be so glad to lend it to you,"
smiled Mrs, Ncwsom.
