The GRIMM Maple Sugar Making Utensils 
Crowding in Brooder 
YY> are raising White Leghorn chick¬ 
ens, and have had a great deal of trouble 
with their crowding. Is there any way 
to stop them from doing this? a. b. b. 
The cause of crowding in brooders is 
usually lack of heat. If the chicks be¬ 
come cold they huddle and soon learn 
the habit. Frightening by entering the 
coop with a lantern, or from any other 
cause, is also likely to make small chicks 
huddle. Keep the brooder house suffi¬ 
ciently warm and avoid any movements 
that frighten the flock because of its un¬ 
familiarity with them. m. b. n.

Any dry, clean, absorbent material, 
from mustiness, such as the chaff 
the haymow, makes good litter for 
chicks. Damp or moldy material of 
kind should be avoided. Finely 
cracked corn, pinhead oatmeal or rolled 
oats and cracked wheat make the best 
hard grains for babv chicks. A mixture 
of wheat bran, two parts, and wheat mid¬ 
dlings, cornmeal. sifted ground oats and 
sifted meat scrap, of each one part, is a 
good dry mash of ground grains. 
2. The choice between Brown and 
White Leghorns must be a personal one. 
Both are good layers, and neither one 
can be said to be the best under all con¬ 
ditions. They are probably equally easy 
to raise. 
3. Feed fowls during their molt as you 
would if they were laying. There is" no 
occasion for changing the ration at that 
time. 
4. Coal-burning stoves are probably 
safer than those using oil, and, during 
the early Spring months, are better heat¬ 
ers of large brooders. Oil burners are 
satisfactorily used, however, and have 
some advantages in mild weather that 
coal burners have not. 
_5. A well-fed Leghorn will eat about 
85 lbs. of grain and mash yearly, con¬ 
suming nearly equal parts of each. The 
exact cost will vary with market prices.

What is It? 
In no book of diseases and remedies 
have I ever found what fatality among 
adult chickens is described simply as fol¬ 
lows : A fine, healthy lien is suddenly 
seen to slightly bob her head or turn it 
from side to side as if trying to see, and 
you find she cannot see well enough to 
pick up grains from the bare ground. In 
a day or two she is found standing or 
sitting, blind, and cannot see you when 
you go near to pick her up. Shut her 
away and you find she cannot see to eat 
or drink anything, and she simply starves 
to death, and dies in good flesh. It is a 
mystery to me two or three times a year. 
Symptoms always similar. What is it? 
Bucks Co.. Pa. c. P. 
If these fowls become really blind, 
rather than simulate blindness because of 
weakness or stupidity from some acute 
affection, it is probably the result of some 
accident to the brain or other central 
nerve structures. Fowls are said to be 
subject to apoplexy, or the bursting of a 
blood vessel in the brain, and the pres¬ 
sure of blood clots thus formed would ac¬ 
count for such symptoms as sudden 
blindness, stupidity, etc. Disturbances of 
these great nerve centers are also as¬ 
cribed to food poisoning from eating 
spoiled meat, though here the symptoms 
are said to constitute limber neck. I do 
not know how accurate the observations 
upon fowls so affected have been, or how 
much has been taken for granted because 
of analogous symptoms in higher ani¬ 
mals. Hens have not been .sufficiently 
valuable to induce as careful study of 
their disorders as lias been given to man 
and lower animals of greater individual 
worth. m. B. D.

Wintering Turkeys 
I thought I would tell you our way in 
wintering turkeys. We have an" old 
chicken coop where the turkeys go in to 
roost, we have a self-feeder there, with 
oats, wheat and some corn in it, a dish 
with oyster shell, and a tank with water. 
Turkeys never overeat. Two years ago 
we raised eight out of 10 turkeys, and in 
1928 raised 64 out of 96. So many died 
while young, as we had su -h a wet Spring. 
We kept powdered ipecac in their feed 
and poultry tonic. Several times I 
noticed turkeys that were sick, gave each 
one 10 drops of ipecac, but it did not 
cure them, so I haven’t much faith in 
ipecac. 
Someone asked about using natural 
gas. We have used it for years in our 
incubators. One neighbor heated 24 in¬ 
cubators with natural gas and always 
had good hatches. I know of several men 
who have used it in their brooders, and 
preferred it to coal, it is less work.

What We Forget 
Between 
15 and 50 
Schools teach, and nearly every home applies 
the rule against coffee and tea for children. 
When middle age comes, a great many 
people remember the facts about the caffeine 
drug of coffee and tea, and how its regular use 
may disturb health. Often they have cause to 
remember what it has done to them. 
How much better it would be not to forget— 
and avoid the penalties! 
Postum is a pure cereal beverage—delightful, 
and safe for any age—at any time. Good for 
breakfast at home, for all the family; good for 
lunch at the club or restaurant; good with the 
evening meal; good with a late night dinner- 
good on any occasion. Postum satisfies , and it 
never harms. 
Why not be friendly with health, all the time? 
Postum

Your grocer sells Postum In

by boiling fully 20 minutes. 
The cost of either form is 
about one-half cant a cup.
