Cannibal Chicks 
What can I do with chicks that bite off 
their toes? I have 400 under a brooder. 
New Jersey. L. d. 
Chicks that get into the habit of pick¬ 
ing at each other’s toes may sometimes 
have their attention diverted from each 
other by supplying them with cut green 
stuff to run about the brooder floor with ; 
but in aggravated cases about the only 
remedy that I have ever found useful is 
to turn the whole flock loose out of doors 
and give them sufficient territory over 
which to roam to keep them busy. The 
flock should be watched when a chick has 
been found with bleeding toes, and any 
Victims should be quickly removed. This 
vice, lik** many others, is started by keep¬ 
ing chicks in close confinement, and it 
may be guarded against by providing an 
outdoor run. where the chicks can busy 
themselves in the more natural practices 
of disrging and chasing insects. A flock 
of -100 two-weeks chicks of my own. kept 
in a 12-foot square brooder house, started 
this method of killing each other off yes¬ 
terday. and I lost several chicks before 
I could get them to consider more hu¬ 
mane methods of amusement. By giving 
them cut clover and promptly removing 
the injured chicks, I succeeded in tem¬ 
porarily putting a stop to their work, 
and today they have the outdoor run 
which should have been provided before.

Lime-Sulphur in Mash 
In mixing a number of different kinds 
of dry mashes, beef, scraps, etc., together, 
about 17." lbs. of lime and sulphur, dry. 
was added by mistake. The mixture 
without the lime and sulphur probably 
weighed 500 lbs. Can you tell me whether 
this mixture is poisonous, or whether I 
shall be running any risk in feeding it to 
my hens? k.F. 
New York. 
Neither lime nor sulphur in their pure 
state are poisonous, and lime in some 
form is quite an essential ingredient of 
the poultry ration. I presume, however, 
that the lime and sulphur that became 
accidentally mixed with your poultry 
mash had been prepared for spraying 
purpose, and I have no way of knowing 
how innocuous it might prove in the pro¬ 
portion of rather more than one-fourth 
part of your mash. If I fed it at all. I 
should mix it in small quantities with 
other mash and should feed it carefully 
until I had had an opportunity to observe 
any ill-effects that might ensue. I have 
little doubt that, used in this way. the 
mixture may bo utilized without total loss, 
but I cannot advise you definitely to that 
effect, for I have no knowledge of any 
experimental evidence tending to show 
that fungicides applied to the interior of 
a hen are beneficial. m. b. d. 
Trouble with Incubator 
I purchased a second-hand incubator 
about a year ago. It is an old-fashioned 
make. The instructions said to keep the 
sand pans filled at all times. The seller 
said not to keep any moisture at all ox- 
cept in dry weather, so I did not have 
any for the first week. The second week 
I used the moisture, and after that I had 
to_ pry the doors open with a knife. I 
tried to keep the temperature as near to 
UM degrees as possible, but one night it 
got a little below. I turned the eggs 
twice a day. The incubator holds 200 
eggs, but I only put 100 in to try it, and 
only got 20 chicks. The instructions say 
the incubator is self-ventilating, but this 
is an old one and has a ventilator in the 
end, so I left it closed the first week and 
after that I gradually opened it. Will 
you tell me what the trouble was and 
whether I must use the moisture or not? 
My cellar is very damp; there is always 
water standing in it. Should I turn the 
eggs once or twice a day, and how use 
the ventilator? J. w. H. 
New York. 
The only safe plan to follow in oper¬ 
ating an incubator is to obey the instruc¬ 
tions of .the maker. In my own use of 
this machine I have kept the moisture 
pans filled, but have used it only in a dry 
cellar. Ventilators are placed in some 
machines for use only under exceptional 
conditions, and they should used only 
as directed. It is best to turn eggs twice 
daily, though it is now thought that the 
old practice of cooling had no other ef¬ 
fect than to delay the hatch. Changing 
the position of -the egg in the tray is 
essential, however, and it is better to do 
it twice a day than once. 
It is impossible to keep the temperature 
of an incubator at exactly 102 throughout 
the hatch, and entirely unnecessary; in 
fact, if several thermometers were to lie 
placed ill different parts of the hatching 
chamber it •would be found that they 
would not exactly correspond at any one 
time. This variation should not exceed 
<me degree for any great length of time, 
however, and the regulator should he 
capable of bringing the temperature back 
to the proper point with slight adjust¬ 
ments. A variation of several degrees 
for a limited time may not injure the 
hatch, and one should not become dis¬ 
couraged if he finds some time that the 
thermometer has gone upon a rampage 
during his absence; bring the temperature 
back to its proper place and continue the 
hatch. m. b. D.
