CHICK Loss is UNNECESSARY
Timely and Important Points in Poul-
try Raising Given by Missouri
College Expert.

Though only half the chicks Matched
In Missouri are raised to maturity,
most of the losses are preventable,
according to NJ. A. Seaton of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture.
AT the present time under ordinary
farm conditions the colony system of
brooding chicks is preferable. The
temperature should be about 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit when the chicks are
placed in the brooder, and then grad
ually decreased to suit the need of
the chicks. If ample room is supplied
the chicks viii regulate their heat by
either crowding closer to the stove or
by moving away.
An abundant supply of clean, fresh
water should be kept before the chicks
at all times in some form of suitable
drinking fountains. Do not put the
water in an open vessel, such as
saucer, or the chicks will get Into 1t
and become chilled
Feeding is a very important factor
in chick raising. Do not feed the
chick until it is fifty hours old or old
er, as the yolk is taken into the chicks
body just before 1t is Matched and so
ample food is present for some time.
The first feed should be composed Of
a few grains of clean sand or fine
chick grit, fed in a fiat pan or spread
on a cardboard. This should be fol-
lowed with a feed of rolled oats and
bread crumbs, and for the first few
days of the chicks life they should be
given three or four feeds of rolled
oats and one feed of hard-boiled eggs.
The rolled oats should gradually be
replaced with some form of grain mix
ture, either cornmeal, chick food or
any form of fine grain mixture. A
dry mash composed of equal weights
Of bran, cornmeal and shorts should
be added to the ration at the end Of
he first week. This mash should be
led sparingly at first and then grad
Tally increased. Feed little and often,
md feed all the feed in dry form.
Milk is an excellent feed for chicks
Ind they should be fed abundant sup
lily Of it at all times. It prevents
nany intestinal diseases, supplies vi
amines and also is a good source Of
'rotein, which is necessary In chick
ations. ~

POULTRY HINTS

When milk is used as the sole drink
for chickens no other animal protein
is necessary.
Poultry raisers who produce capons
for market should use judgment as to
the breed Of chickens used for this pur-
pose. Leghorns and similar small
breeds, which are essentially egg lay
ers, should not be used.
The young poults should be fed when
forty-eight hours old. Eggs, corn
bread and clabbered milk, with hard
boiled eggs occasionally, is a good
starting feed. They should have fresh
water, charcoal and grit, or sand
should be scattered In the pen.
Ducks and geese are quite similar In
their nature, and the same general
rules apply pretty much to both.
1t certainly is fact that the early
chicks get good start, and
therefore are better able to stand the
hot weather when 1t comes.
The brooding of baby chicks Is re-
yarded too lightly by many. Very oft
IN it is due to lack of thought on the
part Of the attendant, while again It IA
he utter lack Of knowledge Of the
fundamental principles involved

ON THE RANGE

There's some that likes the stand-uI
collars,
The city with its parlors;
The buses run by gasoline
And the grass curried smooth and
clean.
Just give me horse and saddle,
And my own canoe I'll paddle,
Out across a bunch-grass range
With every day the same.
l don't need fancy painter
When the sunsets at its best.
For it paints a crimson glory.
On the mountains of the west.
Your opera seems so dull
When the night birds start their
songs,
And on the ridge a coyote bowls a
tune
That floats away beneath the
moon.
When my prairie trail is ended
And my final rope is thrown
On the home range of the world.
l don't want any glories
Dr. dolled up other things.
Just want to watch the ranges
On phantom horse with wings.

SOME CAUSES OF LAMENESS
Sometimes 5Iamed-May Be Due
to rheumatism.

A bird may be famed apparently
from rough activities on the part Of
the male birds in the flock. Lameness
may also be due to rheumatism caused
by dampness and exposure. Lameness
accompanied by rapid emaciation is
often sign of tuberculosis. The spots
on the liver are also a symptom. A
laboratory examination Is necessary
to definitely determine If fowls have

A Letter from A California Friend
,ditor Independents Reporter

Editor Independent Reporter
A short time ago you were good
enough to grant me space in your
valued paper, to correct an erroneous
impression regarding certain climatic
conditions In Los Angeles, Calf
am venturing to hope you will
again allow me to present to your
readerspa simple statement regarding
the foot and mouth disease that has
made its appearance in three relative
ly small sections of this state. | am
doing tfiis in the interests of sanity
with your readers to avoid becoming
frightened over the lurid and unbal-
anced reports that are being print
ed in some of the Eastern papers.
The people Of California are fully
awake to the menace that has attack
ed the cattle of the three districts al
ready alluded 10 and under the direct
charge OF Federal and State ddaran-
tine officers are waging a determined
fight to keep the trouble confined to
the small territory in which it has
appeared. Every means and method
known 10 science are being utilized
to stamp. out the pestilence and not
permit II, to spread. To that end,
rigid quarantine is established on
those areas where the trouble has
shown itself Armed guards prevent
the passing of anyone into those dis
tricts, except as they have imperative
business and then only after they
submit themselves and their autos
and their clothing to most drastic
disinfecting and fumigation-which
they must also undergo when leaving
the quarantined areas.
All animals OF an infected herd are
Immediately slaughtered and the bod
les buried in quicklime and the prem
ises are thoroughly disinfected with
the most powerful germicides known
to chemical science. This is known
to be the only safe method of control
for this disease. <;
Not an article of any sort whatso-
ever can. be moved out of the quaran-
tined districts, which districts, are
confined entirely TO few dairy and
packing house districts. The great
fruit and vegetable districts are abso
lutely untouched by this disturbance.
And you good people of the East need
have no fear rs TO using any products
of California that your dealer may Of
fer to you. 1t is a matter OF record
at the department of agriculture at
Washington, and you may confirm it
If you want to do it, that this trouble
has never been transmitted on either
fruits, or vegetables. Aside from this
fact, let me repeat that nothing is
going out of the quarantined areas,
and nothing will go out until the
State and Federal officers declare the
infection absolutely eradicated.
SO ! say to you who read the indie
