SUCCESS IN POULTRY CULTURE 
The dust-bath which I have recom- 
mended for the mother hen and her brood 
should also be provided for the brooder 
chicks. 
If you have kept your incubator and 
incubator-room as clean as you should, 
and your brooder as clean as it ought to 
be, there will not be any lice to bother 
your brooder chicks; if, however, the 
grown hens are allowed to go among 
them or the chicks are allowed to go 
among the grown hens, they are very 
liable to soon have lice on them. 
Whether the chicks have lice on them 
or not, they love to wallow in a nice, fine, 
dry dust-bath, and it should always be 
provided for them; as I have said before, 
it should always be situated in a dry, 
sunny place. 
Perhaps before leaving this subject I 
should describe more fully, for the benefit 
of those of my readers who have never 
Seen one, and more especially the new 
beginners, the stove brooder. While it 
has been on the market several years, 
very many people have never seen one 
and it is very probable that all such people 
would like to know something about them.
