The Henyard 
An Ohio Woman’s Hens 
I have been rending your paper for 
some years, and agree with everybody 
else that it is the best ever. Your advice 
atul suggestions are so praotienl, and 
can be applied by eommon folks like my¬ 
self. I have been especially interested 
in the poultry articles, as I, too. am a 
beginner, a woman who. having no avail¬ 
able male help, had to apply your oft-re¬ 
peated advice. "Do it yourself.'' 
I began by building my own henhouses. 
The first was made of old lumber from a 
building we had torn down. It was 
-S.\10 ft. originally and housed, by some 
crowding, 75 Barred Kocks. Last 
Spring I put on a scratch shed in front, 
2SxlO ft., with plenty of windows, and 
am housing 100 birds in it. This Fall I 
built a fine new henhouse. 10x2-1 ft., and 
have IS2 pullets in that. I also built an¬ 
other brooder-house (the one l built last 
Spring was SxlO ft.), 16x10 ft., and pur¬ 
chased two more brooder stoves. I in¬ 
tend trying m.v luck with 1.000 chicks 
next Spring. I raised better than 200 
chicks in the small one last .Spring. I 
did all the work myself, with a little 
help in lifting the sills into place in the 
last henhouse, and a little lift given me 
in hurrying on the roof of the last brood¬ 
er-house before a rain. 
I do not know as yet whether my ven¬ 
ture will be a success or not. for the more 
I learn the more I see how little I really 
know. My husband has had steady work, 
weeks I. If was an old shed, open to the 
east. I kept them in a yard, about 2x10 
ft,, for a week or 10 days, then gave 
them free range, and they certainly 
ranged. I moved them into their Winter 
■ pinrters at five weeks because the brooder 
was foo small, and at six weeks 1 picked 
out four that I thought a fair average, 
and the four tipped the scales at 4% lbs. 
At 12 weeks two cockerels were killed, 
and I was a little surprised at ‘heir 
weighing 4>A lbs. Ought I to change 
this line of feed? If so. how? L. (j. B. 
Darien Center, N. A". 
I have little doubt that much of your 
better success in raising chicks this year 
was because of your feeding only hard, 
dry grains, in place of wet mixtures. 
While Countless thousands of chicks have 
been raised on corn meal alone, fed in a 
more or less sloppy state, countless other 
thousands have died from the immediate 
or remote effects of wet mashes. Chicks 
will not grow as fast on hard grains 
alone, but much fatal "bowel trouble” 
will he avoided if little chicks are per¬ 
mitted to outgrow infancy without wet 
mashes. You should give ground grain 
now. however, if you wish your chicks to 
develop as fast as they should. For this 
purposes T know of no better mixture 
than the frequently suggested one of equal 
parts, by weight, of corumeal. ground 
oats, wheat bran, wheat middlings, and 
meat scrap. This may be kept before 
your flock, dry, in hoppers, from which 
J. IFonion’s Flock 
and has supplied (he money for the under¬ 
taking. I should be a little dubious of 
success if I depended on the hens en¬ 
tirely. and certainly should md advise a 
novice to invest his all in the poultry 
business, but use the hens as a side line 
until he gers going. 
I am starting in on a demonstration 
work in connection with the Ohio "Uni¬ 
versity and the County Farm Bureau. I 
also bought live pen-pedigreed cockerels 
this Fall, which I intend to mate with 
60 of my best hens. I am also lighting 
one of my houses with gasoline lanterns. 
I haven't tried it long enough to report 
results. 
I am also raising fruit on a small scale. 
I sold $100 worth of strawberries aud 
$50 of raspberries this year. $150 worth 
of old hens and broilers, and was offered 
$400 foe my pullets, so I figure I have 
made $700 this yea", without counting 
the eggs, which would probably fall a 
little short of paying the feed bill. I 
have kept no accurate account, but will 
know exactly where I stand another 
year. If this does not find the waste¬ 
basket I will let you know how I come 
out. I am sending you pictures of my 
first coops and chickens. The last coops 
have not been photographed.

Feeding Chicks 
For about three years I have tried to 
start a small flock of White Leghorns, 
and until last Summer have made a fail¬ 
ure. Each failure has. 1 hope, taught me 
a lesson, but T realize I am still in the 
first grade. This season I received 101 
White Leghorn chicks on August. 24, 
hatched August 22, placed them in a 
homemade brooder, heat from lamp pass¬ 
ing into and out of the brooder through 
coil of common galvanized cave spout. 
Bought 5 lbs. of prepared chick feed, and 
they had that the first day nr two, then 
began to put rolled oats before them, this 
food in a hopper That they could go to 
any time. In this feed I kept grit mixed. 
Every morning before I let them out of 
the brooder I filled their water can (an 
inverted pail in an enameled cake dish) 
with fresh water, and I noticed that 
water was the first thing they wanted. 1 
was able to get some wheat screenings, 
and as soon as I could get them to eat it 
tat about two weeks) I fed them alto¬ 
gether on this. And have kept it up to 
the present time. I believe 1 bad an ideal 
place for them and their brooder until 
they outgrew the brooder (at about live 
they cannot throw the mixture, or in one 
or more boxes for which a grid of •'hard¬ 
ware cloth" has been cut. This grid is 
cut to til loosely in t ho box and is laid 
directly upon the feed. The fowls eat 
the dry feed through ihe meshes of the 
wire, hut cannot scratch ir out of the 
containers. Or, an ordiniary V-shaped 
trough may be made and covered by a 
rack through which the fowls can reach 
the feed. Such a trough should be 
raised above the floor to keep litter from 
being scratched into it. M. u. D. 
Cleaning Up After Disease 
We have recently bought a place in 
Northern New Jersey, and last Summer 
we lost a great many of our small chick¬ 
ens and young pullets. We think that 
perhaps there is something in the ground 
that does them harm. Some of them just 
fade away, and one or two have been 
found dead from no reason at all. At 
present a few have the roup. Would it 
be a good plan to have the runs dug up 
with a fork and the ground uell limed? 
Would it be well to keep the chickens off 
the limed ground for a few days? Have 
you anything else to suggest, better than 
above? The people who had the place 
before us kept pheasants and rabbits 
where we are keeping the chickens. What 
would you suggest to do with the small 
coops fur one hen and her brood in which 
we have kept sick chickens? Would 
paint be enough? U. C. C. 
Brooklyn. N. Y. 
If you have unused ground that you 
can raise your chicks on, it will he bet¬ 
ter to move your coops to this. If this is 
impracticable, spading and liming the soil 
will help, though it would then be better 
to discontinue its use for one year and 
raise some crop upon if. Ir is not at all 
unlikely that till* soil has become infested 
by the organism that produces coc idiosis 
in poultry and other small animals, this 
disease being one that is responsible for 
much of the “fade away" of poultry 
(locks. Thorough cleaning of the in¬ 
teriors. followed by a good coat of fresh 
lime whitewash, will fit the coops for 
future use. m. b. d.
