IMTOfl LOSS MAY BE REDUCED BY CARE

Various agencies like crowding. Improper feeding, brooding and bousing may cause heavy mortality among incubator chicks, soya the Pennsylvania 1 Agricultural college. Such trouble* may i be overcome by preventive rather than ' curative measurca. I Leg weakness Is a common ailment of chicks up to tlx moo tbs of age. Improper feeding, by which the weight Is Increased faster than tbe strength, U the most Important cause of this disease. A change of diet—a*, for Instance. sul>etltutioo of bran, oatmeal or plnbead oats for com and ronimeal—will often correct leg weakness. Plenty of green feed should nine be given, and a little aklmmflk la bcneflcUl. Gapes Is another chick trouble. It la caused by small parasitic worms which attach them selves to tbe Inside of tbe windpipe. The worms or the egg* from which they develop are taken Into the body In contaminated food and through earthworms. The worms or eggs are frequently coughed up hr tbe chick and

Tba Feeding and k Young Dairy Stock. [Prepared by United States department of

agriculture.]

It la common practice among dairymen to feed skim milk until tbe eatf is approximately six months of age. Bays farmers' bulletin 777. Usually tbe time of weaning depends upon the availability and coat of tbe milk. When milk te fed In abundance It furnishes the greatei oarl of the protein necessary for the growth of the j animal. If no milk te fed It becomes necessary for the protein to be provided from some other source. Probably this can be done moat economically by tba use of some legume, such aa alfalfa. clover, aoy beans or cowpea hay. When bay of this sort te not available it te necessary to provide tbe balk of tbe protein through a grain mixture In either case plenty of roughage abould be supplied to tbe growing heifer at all times. During summer, when good pasture te available, the heifer needs no supplementary feed, although a little bay and grain are | sometimes advisable late in tbe sea sou to Insure steady growth. After tbe heifer te a few montha old I part of the roughage aboald be si'-sge If it te available. A heifer six months e year of age consumes from five

Overfeeding In tbe first Few days 1 probably ceum-s tbe tnajority of early j losses with young chicks. Nature has j provided tor tliclr luulntcuance during this iH-rtod. and Improper feeding will result hi digestive disorders later. Tbe first day In the brooder chirks may be kit cu water, sour milk or buttermilk. a slim 11 amount of grit and a light feed of oatmeal. Tbe water and milk are l>est fed from a fountain to j prevent tbe t hick* from getting wet.

The quantity of grain to be fed depends very largelv upon the Individual animal's growth and condition aa wel! aa upon the price of the grain. Borne feeder* desire a rapid growth of tbe young anlmnl and for this reason feed heavily with grain, while other* are satisfied with a alow growth and try to entry their young atock largely on roughage. Either extreme Is unwise, and a medium course between tbe two Is advisable. A safe rule to follow Is to feed one |>ound of grain for tbe first hundredweight of the heifer and onehalf pound fur each additional hun-

dredweight.
