entertained at another of his de-
these habits may be overcome II
proper action is taken the moment
they show up.
One quite serious habit, Toe Pick
ing or Cannibalism, usually results
from lack of animal protein in the
feed or sufficient exercising room.
If they have plenty of room to
scratch and exercise naturally there
is less danger. If too closely con-
fined they will seek other forms of
activity one of which is picking at
one another's toes. Sometimes a
chick'c toes will be injured and the
sight of blood attracts others. Once
they taste blood, the picking may
become general, causing serious in
Jury and even death to considerable
numbers.
Whenever this habit is noticed,
take steps to enlarge the quarters
or divide the chicks into smaller
groups So they have more room 1t
is also a good idea to add more
meat scraps to their mash or milk
todrink. You will also probably
find that there are one or two ring
leaders causing most of the trouble
and teaching the others bad habits.
If so, take them out of the pen and
keen them out until the injured toes
have healed. Paint the injuries with
tar, which has a disagreeable taste
and discourage Toe Picking.
Feather eating or pulling is an
other habit that often leads to chick
literally pulling all the young feath-
ers from each other and eating them
or to eating one another up, start
ing usually at the tail. 1t is due to
much the same causes as Toe Pick
ing and should be overcome IN the
same way. Remove the injured
chicks and apply tar as for Toe
Picking. Do not put them back un-
til they are thoroughly healed.
One very important phase Of a
chicks early training is teaching
them to roost. This can be quite
easily done if started before the
chicks are, too old. By putting them
on the roost a time or two at night
they will take to the roosts nicely.
Build temporary roosts II TO Ii
inches from the floor, with an in
clined runway to the first ronst, al
the roosts being on the same level
the same as for other rOosts. Bu1lo
il so that the chicks cannot droI
between the roosts and the walls
and cover the under side of it witt
1-inch netting. This prevents the
chicks dropping from the roosts tt
the floor and also keeps them Out
of the droppings. The chicks will
in all probability take to these
roosts naturally and quickly with
out crowding, but they should be
watched few nights to prevent
crowding. These roosts should be
from 2 to 8 inches wide, which viii
help prevent crooked breast bones
in both chicks and poults.

Chicks are a good bit like chill
dren in great many ways. With
proper training, both will develop in
to valuable members of their re-
spective branches of society. Much
has already been said in this series
of articles on the subject of environ
ment. 1 have stressed the need for
clean, comfortable quarters, ventil-
alton, adequate range, sanitation
and other phases of that subject.
Heretofore, however, have had no
opportunity to mention one very i'm
portant matter which is the training
of young chicks in what a friend of
mine humorously called barnyard
etiquette.
I begin training my chicks the
moment 1 transfer them to the
brooder room. AS soon as possible
I begin scattering their grain ration
in the litter so they will have to
scratch for it thus giving heathful
exercise. also watch them careful
" and guide them into the heated
area of the hover whenever they
need such direction. Whenever
find chicks huddled together, /
place them under the hover. 1t may
be necessary to do this quite often
during the first week.
Crowding is another danger that
can be greatly lessened by early
training. 1 prevent huddling IN
corners by placing chick wire OF
boards diagonally across them. They
must be watched carefully, how
ever, for if they cannot crowd into
the corners, they will often pile to-
gether in football scrimmage style
right in the middle Of the floor.
Watch your chicks at all times, but
especially at evenings and gently
force them apart if they show any
tendency toward crowding. There
will always be need - Tatchful-
ness in this respect until they are
actually roosting.
Crowding is only one of many bad
habits chicks will develop if not
watched carefully or if not given
proper feed, exercise and space. All

Raptures of Bird Songs
in Joyous SprinQtime

>
Now in every country place the
birds translate their happiness into
delicious song. Live! Taught" cries
the chiff-chaff all day long, careless
of elaboration if he can give his mes
sage. effectually cutting the silence
with his two small notes like silver
shears. The tom-tit, with characters
tic egotism, shouts ME, me, mel" The
yellOw-hammer and the hedge-sparrow
tell over their short, recurring slaves.
The green linnet sits erect, though
his body sways with music; the notes
come slipping through the leaves like
rain, and sometimes he throws back
his head and laughs. The CHEEKY
babble of starlngs fills any pauses,
and the lark-Mercury of spring
goes on skyey messages. Then one
morning you wake to consciousness
of something more; across the lighter
singing strikes the bourbon note of the
cuckoo, expressing the cosmos for
himself in two syllables, saying the
same thing as cuckoos were saying
when Waiting street was made, Of
which we long to know the interpre-
tatiOn. The willow wrens begin their
ethereal whisperings; the blackcap
comes. He Is the meistersinger of gar
dens where the nightingale is absent;
in moment; as you stand by the
willow where he is, he opens the doors
of delight. His swift, winning phrases
go,lilting up and down in continuous
sweetness for hour at a time. Then
suddenly there are the swallows,
clinging to the caves and to branches
over water, .chattering with lovely
mOnotOny, singing long songs that
pass and come again-lOw, serene,
contemplative. SO all day between
dusk there Is music, and even in the
dark the sedge warbler wakes and
sings. While night pales toward the
dawn, you can hear him down in the
dim trees by the water, his tenuous
notes are scarcely strong enough to
pierce even the silence, but to sleep
less people weary of the night his song
is comfortable They love him for
singing his lonely, small rOundelay,
not waiting for the chorus Of the sun.

Oregon's Power

One Of the greatest potential sources
of electrical energy for the future in
the United States lies In the state Of
Oregon, according to a report by the
geological survey of the Department
of the Interior.
Experts have surveyed over 1000
miles of rivers and 80 dam sites and
geological reports have been made on
4S other dam and reservoir sites.
1t Is estimated that the total avail.
able horsepower Of the state is 1894
600 for 80 per cent of the time, or
roughly about 10 per cent Of the total
potential water power OF the United
States.
This report indicates that 645,0O0
acres Of public lands are valuable as
water sites.
In contrast to this great wealth, the
survey officials classify 20,000000 acres
Of land as arid and non-irrigable.
