THE HENYARD 
Ration for Young Chicks 
Will you Kiv<> mo h Rood ration (dry 
mash) to bo Cod to White Leghorn chicks 
after they are a week old, mid how long 
to feed same? I know Hint poultry men 
have ration after they ape one week old, 
which Huey give them upi to three weeks, 
and after three weeks they change it 
again. How do yon dilute the semi-solid 
buttermilk? j. p. 
New Jersey, 
It isn’t necessary to change the ration 
quite as often as you suggest; in fact, 
some people are too fussy about trying to 
suit feeds In ages. A good mash mixture 
for baby chicks may be made after the 
Cornell formula, viz.; 2 lbs. wheat bran 
and 1 lb. each of wheat middlings (flour 
middlings). cornmenl. sifted ground oats 
and sifted meat scrap. The object of 
sifting for the very small chicks is to re¬ 
move coarse bulls from the ground oats 
ami large pieces from the meat scrap. 
After tlu- chicks are about six weeks old 
it will not be necessary to gift these in¬ 
gredients of the mash. You may feed this 
ninsh up to three months of age. and then 
change to file regular laying ration, which 
the fowls may have until they die of old 
age. This consists of equal parts, by 
weight, of cornmenl, ground oats, wheat 
bran, wheat middlings, and beef scrap; 
lbs. of line salt may be added to this in 
50O-lb lots. Semi-solid buttermilk may 
lie diluted “to taste.” exact proportions 
being immaterial. One part buttermilk 
to seven of water is supposed to give a 
mixture similar to the original butter¬ 
milk before it was evaporated, m. n. u. 
Heating Hover and Brooder House 
T have a 100-chick Imt-wnter brooder, 
bill no brooder house. Would you inform 
me how to make one? It is a galvanized 
brooder; the hover is 2 ft. square. The 
hot water circulates in the top; the hover 
is connected to the boiler by two short 
pipes about 8 in. long. They are sup¬ 
posed to run through a partition with the 
boiler and lamp on one side and hover on 
the other. The boiler and lamp were 
placed in Ihe small galvanized box and 
this was placed outside of the building 
where the wind swept over it. I do not 
think it bad enough protection, o. L. II. 
Olierry Valley, N. Y, 
Such brooder heaters as you describe 
are ordinarily attached to a brooder house 
of any size and work fairly well for a 
small number of chickens, from 50 to 75. 
They fire not intended to heat the whole 
building, but rather to furnish warmth 
beneath the hover for sneli chicks as can 
find room there. Very likely the trouble 
with this heater lay in the fact that, it 
was given no cover and was expected to 
warm the building In which it was placed. 
Make a board cover out of matched 
stuff of a size sufficient to extend about 
0 in. beyond the edges of the galvanized 
hot wafer Chamber, or about 2 ft. square. 
1’lnee this over the hot water tank and 
several inches above it. This cover may 
lie supported upon four logs or hinged 
to I lie side of the brooder house, with 
supporting legs upon the opposite side. 
Then make a curtain of cloth or oil¬ 
cloth that, when tacked to the edge of 
the cover, will reach nearly to the floor. 
Cut slits in this curtain so that the 
chicks may go beneath it and gel the 
warmth from the hot water tank. Your 
brooder heater may thru he used in any 
sized building that you have, the lamp 
being placed outside, as you describe.

A House for 1,000 Layers 
T would like advice on building a coop 
for Winter layers. We are going to keep 
about 1,0<K) pullets over Winter. Would 
it be advisable to keep that number in one 
large coop, or have .several smaller ones? 
What would be your plans for either? 
We sire going to raise White Wyandott.es. 
Michigan. j.tlj. 
One thousand <>r more laying fowls are 
frequently kept, in one building, the sav¬ 
ing in labor in curing for si flock of that 
size instead iff several small flocks aggre¬ 
gating an equal number of fowls being 
considered to counterbalance any advan¬ 
tage Unit smaller (locks might give. I 
should build a bouse at least 20 ft, deep 
and long enough io give each fowl from ” 
to 1 sq. ft. of floor space each. A height 
of 0 ft. in front, and 5 ft. in the rear 
would he suitable, with rafters of unequal 
length, the shorter ones in front. It 
should face the southeast and the win¬ 
dows in front should extend from near 
the floor to the plate, to permit, unob¬ 
structed entrance of the sun’s rays. Am¬ 
ple ventilation should be provided, either 
through windows that can be opened, 
preferably dropped back at the top, or 
wire-guarded open spaces between win¬ 
dows. or both. Concrete makes the most, 
sjitisfiictory floor. Before building upon 
BU<*h a large scale, it will pay you well to 
visit one or more successful poultry 
plants in your vicinity and note the dif¬ 
ferent styles of houses used, with the ad¬ 
vantages and disadvantages of each, I 
should also write the poultry departments 
of Hie agricultural experiment stations at 
Iihnon, N. Y., New Brunswick, N. J., 
Miners, Conn., and Orono, Me., and ask 
for llieir published plans for poultry 
houses. We shall be glad also to give any 
advice desired as to details in construct 
tion. m. b. n.

Producer 
No one handles Kerr 
Chicks except the pro¬ 
ducers—ourselves—and 
the buyer—yourself. 
The chicks are sheltered 
from ills and chills. The 
first meal they get is the 
one you give them. 
They are carefully bred. 
The flocks that produce 
the eggs for our chickery 
are culled—and culled 
again. Every hen is a 
heavy layer, and of good 
breed type, in good 
condition. They run in 
small flocks on farms. 
They are fine specimens 
of vigor and health. 
Safe delivery is guaranteed. 
Every chick will reach you 
alive and healthy, or be re¬ 
placed by us or your money 
refunded.
