SOUR MILK FOR CHICKS. Poultry Raisor Found It ValuaMo In Fro venting Bowai Trouble. About two years ego I reed a recommendation for using soar milk as a food for young chicks. Ws ha to experimented along that line and can truthfully aay that the results bare been highly satisfactory. But inetaad of feeding the raw clabber are scald It and make It Into cheese, writes a correspondent of the Farm and In this fora It la m feed, and the chicks like It better. Tbs Ivueficial effect seema to be equal to that claimed for It In clabber fora. In 1913 we fed all our young chicks the dsbtier cheese as a regular part of their ration tmtli they were atom three week* old, then gradually substituted whole wheat, but coo tin tied tbs elabtier cheese until tbs chicks were of rood size broiler age. After that we continued an occasional feed of the rUbl>er cheese whenever the milk supply allowed. Not for years wss our success a* good In raising chick.*. We lost not more than one or two from bowel trouble. With our 1916 poultry operations we were also successful, but our losses from Itowel trouble among the chides was somewhat greater than In 191S. I 1-elleve the reason was owing to a scant supply of milk and the unusually rainy wasua. It U a relief to have hit on the right idea for preventing the serious loss from bowel trouble among chicks, and we cannot speak too highly in praise
