92 EGGS AND POULTRY 
Keep the hovers at 95 degrees the first 
week and then gradually reduce as the chicks 
grow older, the reduction depending some- 
what on the weather. Thé chicks must be 
kept warm. By watching them you can tell 
if they are comfortable. If they are not, 
make them so. They will not grow into 
strong, healthy chickens if continually 
chilled or overheated. They should be al- 
lowed to run out 
on the ground a 
little each day as 
soon as the weath- 
er will admit of 
their doing so; but 
a wire run should 
be put up to keep 
them close to the 
house as well as 
for protection. You will have to watch the 
first few times they run out to see that they 
know enough to run back into the warm 
house when they become cold. 
TEACH CHICKENS IN THE WAY THEY 
SHOULD GO 
Every time chickens are allowed to do 
some new thing to which they are not pre- 
viously accustomed, they must be’ shown 
IJome made single feed hopper.
