Brooding and Feeding Chicks 
(Continued from page 305) 
plenty of light and ventilation without 
direct drafts. Its shape should be so that 
brooder can be placed in it so as to pro¬ 
vide a lower temperature in part of room. 
The brooder must be able to keep an even 
temperature and be easily taken care of. 
It should be started at least 24 hours 
before chicks are placed in it. The floor 
we cover with % of an inch of clean white 
sand and Yl inch clover or straw cut in 
short lengths. We keep temperature at 
98 to 100 degrees the first week and gradu¬ 
ally reduce this after then until chicks 
can do without heat entirely. This will 
depend much on the weather and the 
season of the year. 
In placing chicks in brooder we are 
careful not to put too many in one flock as 
crowding is as bad as chilling or overheat¬ 
ing. We always pick out the weak chicks 
and cripples as they are the first to con¬ 
tract and spread disease. When chicks 
are put in brooder we give each a drink of 
fresh water that lias had the chill taken 
off but they receive no feed of any kind 
until they are 60 hours old. We keep all 
pans and fountains clean and no feed is 
allowed to stand over from one feeding 
until the next. The following method we 
use in feeding our chicks: 
First day-*- No feed; yolk in body sup¬ 
plies food. I 
First week —Boiled eggs, bread crumbs 
and oatmeal fed as mash, all they will 
clean up in 20 minutes five times daily. 
Give sour milk in the forenoon and water 
afternoon. Provide grit or sand, fine 
shells and charcoal. 
One to five weeks —Mash in hoppers 
made of one part each of bran, shorts, 
oatmeal and cornmeal, or, good Butter¬ 
milk Chick Starter. Give commercial 
chick cracked grains in litter. Provide 
sour milk, water grit and charcoal. Green 
feed such as sprouted oats or ground 
vegetables should be given after first 
week and 34 part meat scraps if no milk 
is used. 
Five weeks to maturity —Mash of one 
part each, ground oats, bran, shorts, corn- 
meal, Yi part beef scraps and Y part bone 
meal. Give twice daily equal parts 
cracked corn and wheat. Provide water 
and grit. 2 pounds of charcoal can be 
added to each 100 pounds of the above 
mash. 
Chicks should be given free range as 
soon as possible in which shade is either 
natural or provided by covered poles. We 
keep the following points in mind during 
brooding period. 
If we have trouble with chicks bunching 
away from brooder when first placed in it 
we place a fine chicken wire around 
brooder until chicks know where to find 
the heat. 
Any chicks showing signs of sickness 
are taken out and kept by themselves. 
If toe-picking starts we darken the 
room by frosting the windows with white 
wash or painting them with blueing. 
Milk is furnished as long as possible, 
but should always be fed in the same form, 
sour milk is more beneficial to baby 
chicks. Where this is not available, semi¬ 
solid buttermilk is the very next best. 
Above everything else we look out for 
quick variations in brooder temperature.

That $600 Was Never Borrowed 
(Continued from page 291) 
They told him of a man in a neighbor¬ 
ing county who had invested his entire 
capital, $6000, in stock, and the young 
farmer had been over to see the man, 
who verified the statement and, honestly 
believing he had made a wise investment.
