Management of Chicks 
I have not had very good success with 
Chides, raising them under hens. The 
place seems to he affected with gapes. I 
wish to place chicks in an orchard about 
800 ft. uway. where they never roamed 
before. I intend to plow up a strip for 
tbelli, drag it. lime it and drag it in. I 
have a lot of old doors to put around all 
four sides, and wire on top, to keep hawks 
out. and am going to make two brooders, 
3x0 ft., 100 to go in each, with a lamp on 
one side. How big should I make yard? 
Is my plan good? How feed them day 
by day, and how long to leave them 
there? A. V. 
Erie Co., N. Y. 
If those chicks can be placed upon 
ground that has not been used for some 
years as a poultry run, it is not likely 
that you will have trouble with gape 
worms. I should not plow such ground 
if it was in good grass sod, and should 
make the runs as large as convenient ; 
the larger the better. After a few weeks 
the chicks can lie given the run of the 
orchard to advantage. A single brooder 
house about 8x10 ft. in size and high 
enougli for the caretaker to walk about in 
will be more convenient than two small 
brooders, and will make a colony house

for the pullets until they arc placed in 
Winter quarters. 8uoh a brooder house 
might be heated, after this time of the 
year, by oil-burning brooder lamps, or. 
more conveniently aud at any time of the 
year, by a coal or oil-burning brooder 
stove. Finely cracked corn, cracked 
wheat and pinhead oatmeal, in almost 
any proportion, may be used for scratch 
grain from the start, and a good mash 
may he made from two parts wheat bran 
and one part each of wheat, middlings, 
cornmeal. sifted ground oats and sifted 
beef scrap. Skim-milk or buttermilk 
should he fed liberally from the start; 
nothing is more important, and. if an am¬ 
ide supply of this is to be had, the meat 
scrap may be omitted from the mash. 
With all the milk in some form that the 
chicks will drink, water need not be given, 
but feed milk for the first few weeks, even 
if you have to buy whole sweet milk for 
them. m, b. D. 
The Rooster a Cheer Leader 
We are told to swat the rooster. It 
will save grain and improve the keeping 
finality of the eggs. But if we follow this 
advice may we not lose something of 
psychological value? In the football and 
baseball contests the cheer leader is de¬ 
pended upon as an important factor in 
winning. He arouses enthusiasm and 
gives life and determination to his side. 
Now, the rooster is the laying bens’ cheer 
leader. He is on duty all the time, and 
whenever a hen shouts the glad tidings of 
a fresh deposit in the nest, you can hear 
him leading the chorus in the jubilee 
cackle. Before one of rny liens utters 
more than a single note, he joins in, and 
his voice rises high and clear above the 
awakened choir, until the whole pen, thus 
encouraged, makes the welkin ring with 
the music of accomplishment. 
At this season, when the eggs nre com¬ 
ing fast. I can hear his vibrant cackle 
almost continuously, and it seems to me 
he is earning his keep as the cheer leader 
who encourages and stimulates egg pro¬ 
duction. I think I shall not swat my 
rooster. EDGAR w. prfbt.f.. 
Source of Heat for Hatching 
I have observed that you nre unable to 
offer a reason for the poor showing that 
is usually made by the incubator. Is it 
not probable that this poor showing is 
due to the fact that the heat is obtained 
from the incubator machine, whereas un¬ 
der natural incubation it is derived from 
the hen herself? Probably there may he 
no difference whatsoever between the two 
varieties of heat, but 1 would appreciate 
a few words about my suggestion. 
Ridgefield, Conn. m. m. 
So far as I know, the source of heat 
has nothing to do with the hatching pro¬ 
cess. Heat, I suppose, is a form of en¬ 
ergy of essentially the same nature, 
whether produced by physical means, as 
by the friction of two bodies rubbed to¬ 
gether. by a chemical process, as by fer¬ 
mentation, or by the rapid combustion of 
substances of vegetable origin in the ex¬ 
ternal atmosphere. I will take no issue 
upon this matter with any physicist, for 
I am but a mere layman, but that is my 
understanding of the force that we call 
heat. At any rate, eggs may be hatched, 
and have been batched, by the heat pro¬ 
duced by fermentation within a manure 
pile, by the sun's rays beating upon the 
sand of a river bnuk. by charcoal fires 
burned beneath baskets containing them, 
by the radiant heat from electric light 
bulbs, by electric “stoves," and by the 
hear from oil and gas flames, 1 have read 
of hatching eggs by the heat of the hu¬ 
man body, but, as the temperature of the 
body in health is less than fit) degrees 
above zero, and the heat required to hatch 
ben eggs is about 10?> degrees, this does 
not sepin probable. 
Uniform distribution and proper regu¬ 
lation of heat seem to be the essential fac¬ 
tors in artificial incubation. If the source 
has any influence upon the hatching pro¬ 
cess I am not aware of it. though I shall 
make no hold assertions in the matter. 
M. B. D. 
Treatment of Young Turkeys 
My turkey eggs hatched well. I fed 
them chicken feed, clabbered milk, and 
two that had bad bowel trouble I gave 
liquid ipecac; the others I gave one dose 
of liquid ipecac aud one of the powdered, 
mixed with the food. I confined turkeys 
two days ago; they began to look sleepy 
and get weak: just pined away and died. 
I have nine left. When a week old I 
treated with lard with a little blue oint¬ 
ment and have put on them sulphur and 
sodium fluoride. What should I do, as I 
have more just ready to come out? I 
gave them water with a few drops of 
tincture of iron. I have always given 
corn bread cold and clabber with a little 
black pepper and iron in water and had 
better lick. \v. e. b. 
Virginia. 
There is no object in giving turkeys 
one or two doses of ipecac for blackhead 
or catechu for coccidiosis. Unless they 
can be treated continuously over some lit¬ 
tle period of time, no remedy can be of 
any avail and no conclusions can he 
drawn as to the valttp of the remedial 
measures used. Blue ointment and sodi¬ 
um fluoride are lice killers, used only ex¬ 
ternally. If you wish to treat your next 
hatch with ipecac as a preventive of 
“blackhead," give the remedy regularly .•vs 
directed. m. b. d.
