Thomas 9 Column New Method Prevents Heavy Losses of Chicks Tapeworm intestarior. of baby chick*, which causo rnnrrmu* loses to poultryrorn, can be preienteJ (>> rearing the ducky in confinonent. So «ated Dr. J. J. Black. a-,-tant poultry path- i.gs? ot I ' the New Jersey Experiment Status, -rter exm'.^e m-r, the New

rnrhol at Vineland and elsewhere.

"By the confinement method, vat* Pr. Black, ‘we keep tin chicks ofi the ground and under a fij-preof screen at all trrnrv “A small two-door screen vestibule - uwd a* an entrance, y that all flies entering the outer door can be killed before the inner door is opened. The chicks are provided with a small ponrh having a concrete floor (t>0 to R" square feet per brood ot t< 300 dlidts) enclosed with a fly-proof wire screen pen at leA-r -<> inches high. Thus, flies and othci inaccfo that carry tapeworms to

chicks arc effectually kept away from the brood.

I S •Confinement in this device also aid^ materially -n ;••• i.-.-.tmg

* chicks from becoming infested w ith the various specie.

worms. In addition, however, care should be taken tv* to carry :

^ roundworm egg- into the houses on shoes or green feed.

“Tail picking and cannibalism of chick* living n this cni. dosure can be avoided by a tew precautions. Crowding m not * T be tolerated; 250 to 300 chicks ire enough for one brood. Ample hopper space to accommodate all the chicks at one pme until thev •• am at least tour weeks of age must be provided. Cockerels at this age or a* soon as the sex can be determined should be removed. Cod j liver oil to make up 25 per cent, of the mash should be given, be- ' ginning with the first feeding. Enough perching space should be “ provided when chicks ace six weeks old. ] "G*en teed may be supplied in any form, or alfalfa leaf meal fed in the mash. Never permit tlie tr*.h hoppers to become empty

* or the water vessels to become dry.”

"The correct depth of plan: g i- more important with rite strawberry than with most plant-.
