HOW TO HANDLE LITTLE CHICKS. 
Last year I bought an incubator, tried 
my ha nil at chicken raising, and was quite 
successful in hatching, but lost hundreds 
of the chickens after they were from two 
to five Weeks old. When they were about 
two weeks old they would take a bowel 
complaint and die in a few days. The 
droppings were usually of a dark color and 
would stick to the feathers and form ^ 
very hard lump over the vent, teometimef 
as large as my thumb; then they would 
mope around for a day or two and diev 
Sometimes I would lose as many as 25 of 
30 in a day. I followed other poultry^ 
men’s directions for feeding and tried 
many different feeds, but always with the 
same result. \ > w. e. w. 
Bluefield, W. Va. 
Few poultrymen realize the importance 
of starting right. In fact, only a small per 
cent of us know exactly What should be 
done, or when to take the first steps toward 
rearing strong healthy chicks. Conse¬ 
quently most of the causes of disease are 
overlooked, and the greatest efforts are 
made when it is too late. The time when 
the greatest progress can be made in pro¬ 
ducing a healthy flock of fowls is a lonjj 
time before they are hatched; in other 
words, begin with the parent stock. Use 
only strong, healthy birds for breeding pur¬ 
poses and keep them under proper condi¬ 
tions. Weak birds are the ones that cause 
the trouble. Never use eggs for hatching 
from a flock that is infected with disease, es¬ 
pecially if it is “white diarrhoea.” Eggs 
purchased from other poultrymen should 
never be set with eggs from your own flock; 
The production of strong hatchable eggs 
from birds entirely free from disease or 
any weakness that would encourage the de J 
velopnient of disease is one problem. It is 
still another problem to hatch chickens 
with enough constitutional vigor to with¬ 
stand 3 2 weeks of the average brooding. 
Avoid all danger of weakening the devel¬ 
oping embryo. Eggs that have be.en chilled 
should not be incubated. Overheating at 
any time during incubation, or a too low 
average temperature would lower the per 
cent hatch and also injure the chicks. 
Excessive ventilation or lack of the proper 
air humidity makes successful incubation im¬ 
possible. The chicks that do hatch are 
small and weak. When hatching is done 
by hens, there is. as a rule, less danger of 
injuring the eggs. When the chicks are 
just hatched is a dangerous period. The 
greater the number of chicks together at 
this time, the greater the danger of infec¬ 
tion from bacillary white diarrhoea. The; 
wet chicks rubbing together in such close 
quarters are liable to take the disease from' 
one another. Recent experiments prove 
that when incubators in which infected 
chicks have been hatched are again used, 
the following hatches may become infected. 
For this reason it is very important that 
the incubators be well cleaned and thor¬ 
oughly disinfected after each hatch. Ex¬ 
periments also show that chicks are very 
easily affected with bacillary white diar¬ 
rhoea up to five days old. After that time 
only a small per cent of Inoculated chieks 
showed symptoms of the disease. How¬ 
ever, the chicks used in these experiments 
were the best of a season’s hatching, and 
consequently had greater power of resistance 
than the average chick. Therefore, it is 
possible that olde.r chicks, if weak, would 
still be susceptible to the disease with the 
natural means of infection. 
To prevent chieks from being infected 
with disease it is essential to avoid any 
treatment that would endanger their physi¬ 
cal condition. The first obstacle which 
confronts and endangers normal develop¬ 
ment of brooder chieks is radical changes 
in hover temperature. A temperature of 
100 degrees should be kept for at least two 
weeks at some point under the hover. How¬ 
ever, chieks will stand a temperature as 
high as 3 30 degrees near the source of heat, 
or as low as 90 degrees much better than 
a changeable temperature. For this rea¬ 
son chicks should never be placed in a 
brooder that is easily affected by outside 
change's. When the temperature drops very 
low during the night the chieks crowd and 
many are weakened. Such conditions cause 
bowel trouble in a very short time. To 
prevent a low night temperature the heat 
may be increased a few degrees above 300 
degrees when the eliieks go under the hover 
for the night. The chicks will lie near the, 
hover curtain when it is too warm under¬ 
neath. and will go back under the hover 
when the temperature begins to lower. The 
best possible care should be given the 
chicks the first two weeks. Never permit 
them to go far from the hover until they 
are several days old. I’ut them into a well 
disinfected brooder, give them clean litter 
to work in, fresh water to drink and feed 
cautiously. 
Never put purchased chicks with those of 
your own flock until you are positive that 
they are not infected with contagious dis¬ 
eases. The brooder house, feed pans, and 
water receptacles should be frequently dis¬ 
infected. Do not attempt to force the 
eliieks at first. Beef scraps should not be 
fed except in the mash and even then only 
a little should be given the first week, 
i hiekens intended for breeders or for broil¬ 
ers will stand heavy feeding much better 
and show better gain In weight if first 
fed less forcing rations. The amount of 
wet or dry mash may be increased gradu¬ 
ally, changing the composition of the ra¬ 
tion as the chicks will stand it. Feed all 
the green food the chicks will eat. They 
should be allowed plenty of fresh pasture, 
and if the chieks are confined, rotation of 
grounds should be practiced. It is well to 
lime the ground, plow it deep, and grow a 
quick crop each year. Chickens that show 
symptoms of disease should always be Iso¬ 
lated at once. Dead chickens should never 
be left where other chieks can get at 
them. The best way to guard against 
further contamination is to burn all dead 
chickens and also the litter.

Dusting Setting Hens. —Our plan for 
treating the sitting hen for lice is to visit 
her once a week and with the fingers work 
the powder well into the feathers over all 
parts of her body. She sits quietly on the 
nest and assists by raising her feathers, al¬ 
lowing the powder to reach the skin. This 
answers the purpose as well as any other 
method we ever tried, and is very quickly 
and easily done. Mus. j. c. Clovis.
