Arranging Incubator for Brooder 
We have in our cellar a 240-bgg incu¬ 
bator. discarded some time ago in favor of 
day-old chicks from the commercial hatch¬ 
eries. Our problem is not one of incubat¬ 
ing the eggs, but of brooding the chicks, 
and it occurred to us that possibly this 
machine could be adapted as a brooder to 
take care of a hundred or so of these 
chicks, but we do not know just how to 
alter it for the purpose. On examination 
we have found the machine to be in fairly 
good condition. Dampness and disuse 
have spoiled the thermostat regulator and 
opened some cracks in the flooring, but 
the water system and heater are appar¬ 
ently in working order and could, if nec¬ 
essary, be removed and used as a unit in 
Rome other frame. v, t. j. 
It ought not to be very difficult to ar¬ 
range a brooder from an Incubator. With 
the legs taken off, it might be necessary 
to make a pit for the lamp. F. T. J. does 
not say whether be wants to use the 
brooder outdoors or in a house. With the 
trays taken out, an inch or two of clean 
sand or earth should he put in the bot¬ 
tom, the front doors taken off and a strip 
of cloth, slitted every 2 or .Tin., to allow 
the chicks to pass in and out easily, used 
for the front. Tt would probably be nec¬ 
essary to bore n scries of holes in back 
and sides for more ventilation. Lacking 
the rheostat, much care must be used to 
keep the lamp wick at the right height to 
produce heat enough and not too much, 
especially at night, when the heat of the 
chicks’ bodies must be allowed for. Prop¬ 
erly arranged and eared for. an incubator 
might very well serve ns a brooder.

D EAD chicks mean loss of profits that could have been 
made—to say nothing of the time and money spent 
in hatching them. 
Raw, indigestible, sour and musty feed kills the chicks 
and robs you of your profits. 
Give your chicks the feed they can digest, the feed thatkeeps 
sweet and clean— H-0 STEAM-COOKED CHICK FEED. 
It is a scientific combination of Cracked Corn, Cracked 
Wheat, Cut Oatmeal, Cracked Peas and Cracked Kaffir 
Corn, cut to pin-point fineness and steam-cooked by the 
wonderful 11-0 process. This process so prepares the 
grains that they are readily digestible even when eaten 
by the most delicate chick. White Diarrhea and kindred 
ailments never occur. Further, it prevents deterioration 
so that H-0 STEAM-COOKED CHICK FEED keeps 
sweet and clean indefinitely. 
Poultrymen everywhere testify that FI-0 STEAM- 
COOKED CHICK FEED brings more chicks through the 
critical period that follows hatching, and makes them 
grow and develop in record time. It puts real profits 
into poultry raising. 
Make this the most profitable hatching season you have 
ever had —live chicks and healthy productive chickens— 
by feeding H-0 STEAM-COOKED CHICK FEED. 
It is packed in handy 5-pound packages, obtainable from 
your local grocer; or get a supply from your feed dealer. 
Sample of this wonder feed free on request.

Drop in Laying 
I have a flock of 150 Leghorn pullets, 
they started laying at about five to six 
months, but all 1 got was two or three a 
day for a couple of weeks. Then more 
started laying. The first of January I 
got about 30 eggs a day. when they start¬ 
ed to slump. They dropped from 20 to 14 
or 15 a day. T know something is radi¬ 
cally wrong. T feed prepared dry mash, 
which I am going lo discontinue as soon 
as ruv present supply runs out. The mash 
is in front of them at all times. At 
night 1 put 12 quarts of wheat, corn 
(cracked), and oats, equal parts. They 
have plenty of water. ,\ly coop is 46x40 
ft.; 20 ft. is in gaud for a scratch and 
dust bath shed, and 20 ft. is in dry 
litter. I always throw my grain in the 
litter. r. b. w. 
New Jersey. 
There are many things that might cause 
a more than natural finetnation in egg 
production of a flock of pullets, perhaps 
the most common being some abrupt 
change in care or feeding. Few amateurs 
realize the necessity of making any nec¬ 
essary changes in the rations or care of 
laying pullets gradually ; even so appar¬ 
ently an unimportant thing a^ changing 
the ration fed in its composition has 
thrown a flock of pullets into a partial 
molt, with loss of production. You speak 
of feeding whole grain at night : it would 
he better to feed both morning and night, 
giving a little less than half in the morn¬ 
ing and ihe balance before dark, if lights 
ore not used. Corn is the best single 
grain, wheat comes next; oats are not 
well relished and. unless boiled or sprout¬ 
ed, are likely to be wasted in the litter. 
You arc feeding a pretty large proportion 
of oats in your whole grain mixture; bet¬ 
ter make it chiefly corn and wheat and 
boll or sprout your oats for a supplemen¬ 
tary feed. Why not use a standard dry 
mash of known composition, and then 
slick to it? Equal parts, by weight, of 
cormneal, wheat, bran, middlings, ground 
oats and meat scrap make a good one.
