Loss of Chicks 
I liave two up-to-date houses. 14 ft. 
square, perfectly airtight, except, the 
front, which is ventilated. I have a 500- 
ehick brooder in each house. Three weeks 
ago I placed 500 chicks in each house. 
They have grown nicety; the loss has 
been about two per cent, but I notice that 
they arc becoming droopy anti eat but 
a very little. I have beep feeding since 
72-hnurs-old Cornell chick starter and 
Cornell feed, and I keep plenty of fresh 
water, and a little red oak bark in same 
to color, to prevent diarrhoui. I lose 
about four a day now; they •seem weak in 
the legs, lie around, look like dead, but 
after awhile they will get up and go to 
eating. They have no desire to go out 
of the house on the ground. The houses 
are 2 ft. off the ground ; keep litter about 
2 in. deep all the time. I keep the tem¬ 
perature about 80 degrees, but for the last 
three nights they have left the brooder 
and crowded in the corner. n. P. F.

Your description does not make it pos¬ 
sible to say what the specific cause of 
these deaths is. and perhaps no one could 
tdl without an autopsy and laboratory 
examination of the internal organs. How¬ 
ever, your chicks have reached the age 
when chick fatalities begin. It is a poor 
chick that can't live for two weeks, and 
a good one that lives beyond that time 
to maturity. All the forces that tend to 
destroy chick Life seem to concentrate 
at about two weeks of age, and in the ab¬ 
sence of some specific disease, like white 
dlftrrhwa. the way to circumvent these 
forces is first to make sure of having 
vigorous stock that can stand up under 
unfavorable conditions, and, second, to 
make all conditions as favorable for the 
(■ontintiane? of life and vigor as possible, 
lied oak bark contains tannin, and might 
help as an astringent in diarrhoea, but 
don't, pucker up the insides of the little 
fellows with tannin when tbev haven't 
any diarrhma. (Jive milk instead, all the 
milk that they can drink from the time 
that they are taken from the incubator 
Any kind of milk, so long as it is clean, 
l»ure milk—sweet, sour, skim, whole, dry 
or buttermilk. Then get them out up<m 
a bare spot upon the ground where they 
will be sheltered from cold winds, and can 
play in the mud for a little while each 
day. Tench (hem to go out and to come 
hack when they are uncomfortable out¬ 
side; they will soon learn the trick. Keep 
the temperature higher if the chicks hud¬ 
dle; but be careful that they aren’t fright¬ 
ened by a lantern or something else away 
from the stove and into corners. Never 
mind the thermometer; keep the chicks 
warm enough so that they will spread out 
on the litter at night. M. B. D.

Poor Laying 
1 keep about 60 pullets. nUl hens, 
two or throe years old, liufF and Plymouth 
Rocks and Leghorns, and only average 
‘J” eggs per day. 1 believe house is all 
right, as if is an old homestead, high and 
dry. with a 20x110 ft. room for roots and 
nests, and a scratch room 20x20. with, 
litter, both on south side, four windows, 
lower sash glass, upper removed, and mus¬ 
lin curtains substituted, which l pull 
down cold nights. I scatter four quarts 
of cracked corn in litter for morning, ami 
put 10 quarts mash in boxes, consisting 
of equal parts, by weight, of ooromcal. 
ground oats, wheat, middlings, bran and 
meat scraps (Cornell mixture), feed six 
quarts whole corn evening, if cold; if 
rnild three quarts of oats and three of 
cracked corn. 1 keep charcoal, grit and 
shells in hoppers, and have recently in¬ 
stalled a large box of dry sand. The hens 
are quite fat. Can they heeome too fat 
to lay eggs? Am now feeding my mash 
dry. but have also tried wet mash, with 
no better results. I have no green food. 
Could potatoes be fed raw in place of 
green food, or should they be boiled’ 
New York. p. o. 
Your method of feeding seems pretty 
good, if you are keeping the dry mash 
always before the fowls, regardless of the 
amount they eat. If you are holding that 
down to a fixed amount, you may be 
scrimping the birds in a very essential 
part of their ration. liens probably do 
not become too fat to lay. though if they 
do not use any of their food for the pro¬ 
duction of eggs, it is quite natural that 
they should become fat. Rxcessivo fat¬ 
ness would rather indicate here that your 
fowls are eating too much corn and 
neglecting the dry mash. Tu bhat case 
you should cut down the amount of whole 
grain fed to induce greater consumption 
of the mash. If the fowls are given all 
the corn that they will eat through the 
day, they will neglect the less palatable 
dry mash, and at the expeuse of egg pro¬ 
duction. A moderate amount of raw po¬ 
tatoes may he fed to )#ens, though they do 
not take the place of green food. Pota¬ 
toes are succulent, starchy, fattening, and 
fairly palatable, but. they are not green, 
unless sunburned. Ry green food is meant 
leafy vegetable stuffs, containing the 
chlorophyl that give* the green color to 
plants. Potato tops would be green food, 
though beef tops, clover, lawn clippings, 
lettuce, burdock leaves, and dandelion 
greens are better examples from the poul- 
tryman’s viewpoint. M. b. d.
