>s, As Good NOW 
RANUrA 1 HbK was hard to satisfy. But it is a 
noteworthy fact that he was satisfied with Good¬ 
year Gold Seal rubbers and boots. Grandfather’s 
buying judgment fifty years ago, and “Gold Seal” 
extra-quality, formed the solid foundation upon 
which our steady growth has been built. 
There has been no change in the extra-quality that 
made Gold SeaP’rubber footwear famous half a cen¬ 
tury ago. When you buy “Gold Seal” rubbers or boots 
tod ay you get exactly the same quality goods that grand¬ 
father got—the utmost in wear, comfort, and snug fit. 
Ask for and insist on being supplied with “Qold Seal” 
lubber footwear. 'The "Qold Seal” label identifies the 
genuine. Look for it. Our nearest office will be pleased 
to direct you to the "Qold Seal” store in your town.

THE HENYARD 
Handling Incubator 
I wish to know when I’ve got enaugh 
moisture in my incubator when I am 
using a hygrometer, and how and when to 
use the hygrometer. f. e. 
It is not necessary to use a hygrometer 
in an incubator, the usual measures for 
insuring sufficient moisture in the air be¬ 
ing all that is required. These consist 
in non-moisture machines, of wetting the 
floor of the incubator cellar at intervals, 
if the incubator is operated in a cellar; 
or if the machine is operated in a living 
room, of seeing to it that the air con¬ 
tains a normal amount of moisture 
through the influence, if needed, of evap¬ 
orating water on a stove. There is no 
danger of having too much moisture in 
the air, and little, if any, of having too 
little if simple precautions against ex¬ 
cessive dryness, such as are above men¬ 
tioned, are taken. In case I wished to 
use a hygrometer, I should follow the di¬ 
rections coming with the instrument.

Brooding Baby Chicks 
I wish to know how to take care of 
newly-hatched chicks to be received fore 
part of April.. l. l. 
First, have proper quarters for these 
chicks, according to the size of the flock, 
ready. If a brooder stove is to be used, 
have it in place, with fire up and brooder 
house warmed and well supplied with 
litter. Second, have proper food for 
baby chicks at hand. Skim-milk or but¬ 
termilk, or sweet milk, if that is to be 
fed, and make that the first meal and 
drink. Have also a chick scratch grain, 
which may well be made up of finely 
cracked corn, cracked wheat and pinhead 
oatmeal, making the oatmeal perhaps one- 
fifth of the entire mixture. Have also 
a supply of a good chick mash mixture. 
I know of none better than the follow¬ 
ing formula: Two parts wheat bran with 
one part each of wheat middlings, sifted 
ground oats, cornmeal, and sifted beef 
scrap of the best grade. The object in 
sifting is to remove coarse hulls from the 
ground oats and the larger parts of the 
beef scrap. These may be added to the 
ration for older chicks or fowls. 
When chicks are received, place them 
in their quarters and give milk of some 
kind to drink. After they are .30 to 48 
hours old—from the incubator—scatter 
some rolled oats over their back and a 
little of the scratch grain may be placed 
before them in shallow dishes. Keep 
milk before them in dishes in which they 
cannot attempt to swim. Feed the hard J 
grains five times daily for the first few 
days, giving only what they will quickly 
clean up at a feeding. Add to this any 
tender green stuff that you can get, let¬ 
tuce, young clover, or any other tender 
green growth that they will eat. This 
may be fed without limit as to quantity, 
as may the milk. 
After a few days, place some of the 
mash in shallow boxes, protected by hard¬ 
ware cloth laid upon the mash in the box. 
before them. Do not keep this before 
them all of the time until they have be¬ 
come used to eating it; then it may be 
made always available and the hard 
grains may be hand-fed. 
Keep the brooder sufficiently warm to 
prevent huddling. If a stove is used, 
the chicks should lie in a circle just 
beneath or outside of the metal canopy. 
Wlhen not asleep, they should be active 
in the litter and never be allowed !o 
become cold enough to huddle together 
for warmth. Confine them for a time 
near the stove or other source of heat, 
so that they may learn to go to it when 
cold. Then give them range of the floor. 
Temperature beneath a hover at first 
should be between 90 and 100, but the 
chicks should have full liberty to move 
away from this temperature into cooler 
circles. 
Above all, avoid overfeeding. Keep 
chicks active and hungry. Watch them 
to see if they are comfortable. If they 
are, they will gather in groups or lie 
down singly to sleep in the litter and 
will chirp contentedly. If not, they will 
try to huddle in corners, burrow be¬ 
neath each other and peep with a note 
of distress in their voices. m. b. d. 
By JOHN 
This book is written in three 
parts. 
PART ONE.—The Develop¬ 
ment of the Agricultural Indus¬ 
try. In five chapters. 
PART TWO. — Fundamental 
Principles and Adaptable Forms 
of Co-operative Organization. In 
ten chapters. 
PART THREE. — Application 
of Co-operation to Efficient and 
Economic Distribution of Farm 
Products. In seven chapters. 
This is a new treatment of the 
co-operative subject. Heretofore 
writers of books have contented 
J. DILLON 
themselves with accounts of co¬ 
operative work where established. 
It has been mostly propaganda 
and exhortation. This was all 
good in its time. But we have 
grown beyond it. Farmers are 
now committed to co-operation. 
Once shy of it, they are at last a 
unit for it. What they want now 
is principles and definite policies 
that have proved successful. This 
book is the first real attempt to 
supply this want. Other, and it 
is to be hoped better, books will 
follow on this line; but for the 
present there is no other book 
seriously treating the subject of 
organized co-operation.
