in the console release electrical
energy of SIS horsepower, driving
three fan-blade pumps in the base

Adrices In Chick Raising from Drop.
In Poultry Farm

The season for Matching eggs and
buying day old chicks is here again.
The loss every year of baby chicks is
surprising. Ii has been estimated
that only about Is per cent live to
maturity. Think of it. There are
many causes for this loss, but the
two chief causes are either to much
care, or not enough. It's the happy
medium that counts. Let me try and
help you out with Il few Dos and
Don't. Don't feed 9aby chicks too
soon. Let them walt two, or even
three days after they are Matched.
Start them off with a dring of sour
milk, then little chick feed but
only what they will eat up clean in
say fifteen minutes. Feed them this
way for the first week about five
times a day, then start them off on
a good growing mash. 1t is import
ant to keep them a little hungry, ac-
tive. up ON their toes looking for
more. It's better to slightly under
feed than over do it OF course you
give them ehaff or litter to scratch in
and sand or grit. Don't have your
brooder too hot or too cold. About
80 degrees is good for the first week.
then slowly harden them off little by
little. Give them chance to warm
up or cool off as they see fit. but keep
them out of draughts. All in all.
don't oyerdo anything. Give them
a fair chance, keep them active. too
much kindness has killed many a
chick, but they need care and con-
slant watching Feed little but of
ten Milk is probably the best food
and life saver count your chicks
as you would your money. Every
loss means a cash loss.
