"GROW HEALTHY CHICK"
PROGRAM WELL
UNDER WAY

The putting into practice the
eight essential points which have
helped the poultry raisers in other
sections of the country to reduce
their losses with baby chicks dur
ing the past two seasons, and the
factors to be considered in the
proper care and management of
the young flock, are among the
chief subjects being presented i'll
the promotion of the "Grow Healthy
Chick" campaign which is being
conducted in this state under the
direction of H. S. Palmer, extension
poultryman of the University of
Delaware, in cooperation with the
county agricultural agents and q
large group of interested poultry
men.
Under date of February 20 the
poultry raisers in Kent county re-
ceived from the office of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson a mimeo-
graphed circular and two printed
cards which were prepared by the
poultry specialist for the purpose
of stimulating more interest in the
necessity of practicing more sani-
tary measures and giving due at
tention to the approved methods of
feeding in the raising of better and
healthier chicks this coming spring.
Each card contains the following
eight points of sanitation as a
means of insuring healthy chicks:
% clean chicks, (2) clean incuba-
tors, (S) clean brooder house, (4
clean ground, o. clean litter, (6)
clean feed, CD clean management,
and (S) clean laying houses.
AS a supplement to this informa-
lion copies of another circular let
,er were mailed to the poultry rails
srs in the county last week calling
heir attention again to the i'm
)Ortance of following these recon-
nendations in the production of
healthy chicks, and each poultry
nan was also furnished with a
Milford chronicle., 1928-03-23

card on which is to be checked
those points which he expects to
practice this spring. These cards
are to be returned to the Office OF
County Agent Russell E. Wilson, at
Dover, where this information will
be filed and a report issued at the
end of the season giving the re-
suits of this "Grow Healthy Chick"
campaign in the county and state.
AS a part of this program the poul-
try raisers are also requested to
use a separate record card for each
brooder stove in order that an ac-
curate account may be kept of the
mortality and cause of losses
among the young chicks.
The main items of interest which
Mr.. Palmer discussed in the Janu-
airy report of the Delaware Farm
Egg Record Club were how and
when to feed codliver oil to young
chicks as a means of supplying vita
mine D which is preventative
against leg weakness. Under nat
ural conditions this particular vita
mine is supplied in abundance
through sunshine, so cod-liver oil
should be fed only when chicks
cannot get the proper amount and
strength of the direct rays of the
sun. AS ordinary window glass
removes from the sunshine the ul-
tra-violet rays which are known to
contain the vitamine D, it is advis-
able to use one of the so-called
glass substitutes instead of the reg
ular glass for windows in the
brooder houses, as we'll as in the
laying quarters.
Cod-liver oil should be fed dur
ing the winter and early spring
as it is during this season
of the year that the sunshine is
rather weak and weather conditions
are usually such as to not allow
the young chicks to be outside. This
oil may be fed for the first time
when the chicks are one week old,
and for early Matched chicks this
material should be used at the rate
of two pints to 100 pounds of feed.
AS soon as the chicks are beginning
to run out of doors, the oil content
should be reduced to one pint to
each 100 pounds of feed, as nothing
is gained by feeding oil in larger
quantities.
The method of feeding cOd-liver
oil will depend upon the system
used in feeding the chicks, but for
sanitary reasons it is advisable to
mix the grain and mash together
md feed it in hOppers so as to keep
he chicks from standing in it. In
his case the oil may be first mixed |
With the grain, and then the oiled |
grain added to the mash. Care must |
Ie taken to not prepare more than |
| two-weeks' supply of feed at one
ime, as the cod-liver oil may lose
iome of its vitamine-D value if
to the air and light for a
90 great a period. All containers
# oil should be corked tightly and |
,ept in a dark place in the feed
Dom, and only oil of the highest
,rade should be used for this pur-
,ose.

Four Fall Months
Should Be Featured
By Lexington Firms

The coming months Of September, Oc-
tober, November and December are four
exceptional trade months for any ter
ritory, and from statements heard IN
our city the past week, it would be q
most opportune time for the merchants
Of Lexington to get together and Tor.
mulate plans that would induce trade
to center in our city, owing to the local
establishments being able to fill any
demand made upon them.
A good suggestion that has been
brought to light, and one whereby every
merchant would profit, is that the four
months be devoted to specials with each
participant offering prize. This to DC
handled through tickets being given II
trade, and at the end OF the week,
drawing made and awards announced.
The merchants could advertise this
fact, and through meeting adopt I
policy that would allow full cooperation
ins the plans agreed upon. Or each mer
chant could have Special Week durini
the allotted time, tickets given by othel
stores good for the prize, continue
ton throughout the fall months.
Prizes could be selected from stock
or certificates issued good for stip.
ulated amount of merchandise, instead
of cash, if the merchants so desired
One week and the week of certain

be used in feature display of goods
or special sale of merchandise by this
particular store, yet tickets given by
other merchants that would enable the
public to participate in the drawing also

firms.

chants of Lexington, and The Advertiser
