Brooding Large Flocks 
Arc l.OOO-chick brooders, consisting of 
a lamp and circular hover, self-regulating, 
practical at all? About how satisfactory 
ai‘e they, when inn properly? J. a.p. 
These coal-burning brooder stoves are 
very practical, making it possible to rear 
large flocks of chicks together and doing 
away with a large part of the labor and 
expense formerly required when it was 
supposed that not more than 50 or 75 
chicks could be profitably kept in one 
flock. While they will easily furnish 
enough heat for 1,000 chicks in a flock, it 
has been found advisable to keep smaller 
numbers together, and it is usually advised 
to place from 250 to 300 chicks under 
each hover. The larger the flock the more 
difficult it is to see that each individual 
chick gets fair treatment in the matter of 
feeding and the more the weaker ones are 
likely to suffer from competition with the 
more robust. m. b. d.

Feeding Geese on Garbage 
Would it be profitable to feed geese on 
garbage? Would it be more profitable to 
buy young goslings or buy ol 1 geese and 
raise little ones from them? I favor buy¬ 
ing goslings. At what age should 1 buy 
them? 6. w. s. 
Table scraps make good poultry food, 
provided they are good scraps. It is not 
always safe to feed garbage or swill, such 
as comes from the city kitchens. If they 
would put only the best of the garbage in 
the can. it would he both safe and profit¬ 
able to feed it to geese and other stock 
on the farm. But everything goes into 
the waste barrel—canned goods that have 
not kept well, soap powder and other in¬ 
jurious substances. These kill anything, 
from a chicken to a pig. You may feed 
garbage for a year or more without 
trouble and then lose all you have saved 
by a bad lot of swill. Geese will live 
largely on soft, tender grass, and will not 
do their best unless they* get it. When 
we feed market waste to poultry we first 
dump it on the ground and remove all 
injurious substances, cigar stubs, to¬ 
bacco quids, drawings from poultry, etc., 
before boiling up or cooking. In this way 
we feel safe to feed meat trimmings, fish 
heads and such. D. j. LAMBERT.

Sick Baby Chicks? 
There is only one way to deal with baby chick, 
and that is to keep them well. Doctoring a hun¬ 
dred or more chicks Is mighty discouraging work. 
It’s pure carelessness to lose more than 10 per 
cent of chicks, from hitching to full growth. Many 
lose 40 per cent to oo pur ceut, and even more. No 
profit In that. . „ ..
