KEEP CHICKS IN BEST CONDITION Young Fowls When Old Enough j \to Shift for Themselves Must Be Given Care. REELECT IS CAUSE OF LOSS ; Bulletin Given Out by Department of I Agriculture Especially for beginner® Gives Essentials for 1 Proper Growth. (prepared by the United 1 States Department of Sericulture) The enthusiasm with which many I poultry raisers, particularly beginson, start in the spring with young fhtefcs sometime* lags aa the season stlvancts end the chicks get old i enough to shift for themselves. If care s> Is neglected, at. this period, however, success is Improbable. The baby /■htcfr® may be smart little fellows from strong, vigorous parent stock, and they may have been brooded carefully for the first two or three weeks, but unless they receive proper care and management during their later growing period they will not develop properly, and many of them will be lost by sickness and disease. This Is the timely warning made by poultrymen of the United Stales Department of Agriculture In Farmers' Bulletin 1111, "Management of Growing Toting Chicks," published by the depigment, In which Is given the essentials to proper growth and development of chicks. The bulletin Is writ • ten briefly and In simple terms for beginners, especially members of boys and girls' poultry clubs. Suitable Food and Cars. The chief essentials to the 'proper growth of Chicks, according to the bulletin, are good coops, or houSed, cleanliness, proper feed and water, shade and free range. Growing chicks should be provided with large, roomy coops or houses, which will give them a comfortable place to stay at night and during stormy weather. The bulletin suggests no particular kind of boose, but states It should be so built that It will provide the chicks with

Member of Boys' Poultry Club and in His Flock. plenty of light, pure air and sunshine, U and protect them from dampness and Storms of all kinds. V Chicks should never be crowded In brood coops, for crowding- will cause them to become overheated, resulting in Improper growth nnd sometimes In dead chfMts. nl Sickness or disease usually starts jy in unclean quarters, and , In such places ,llce and mites are always more tl plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops „ Should be cleaned and sprayed once a )c week, and clean shavings, chaft, or ■and put on the floor. Examine the ir chicks and houses often for lice and w mltosr and ~lf' found they should be n gotten rid of at once. Farmers' Bui- p letln 1110 gives directions for flgliUng „ — lice and mites. U Feed Right for Rapid Growth. „ The throe kinds of feeds most neo c •ssnry for rapid growth are grain n feed, green foed and dry mush. A grain mixture should be fed night and - morning, giving as large u quantity as 5 the chicks will eat clean, but no more. ▲ good mlature for growing chicks F consists of three parts crocked corn, two ports wheat and two parts hulled oats. Kafir "<om or rolled or hulled barley may be substituted for hulled oats. A supply of fresh, green feed is Ialmost as necessary as groin for grow- - ing chicks. They obtain plenty of It c if tbey have.free "range, b€t If kept In 1 confinement, lawn grass, beet tops, c cabbage,-- lettuce or other such green r feed should be supplied r^ghlarly. I Grit and oyster shells should be pro- ; • vlried so the chicks may help them- e selves whenever they wish. When sour c milk can be obtained it should also < be kept before the chicks, as no feed Is regarded better for them. When i this Is given the amount of beef scrap In the dry mash may be reduced onehalf. Plenty of fresh, cleon water Is ' absolutely necessary, and In hot weather It should be provided twice dally In dishes that have been thoroughly cleaned. ^ - The bulletin emphasises the lmpor--tance of free range and shade for growing chicks. > They are necessary if chicks are uS grow rapidly and develop into vigorous fowls. When growing chicks have free range they obtain quantities of green feed, bugs, worms and other things, therefore they require less groin and arp leas Uable to sickness and disease.

The home gardener who can get a load of well-rotted stable manure need not worry about fertilizer, anyone who has ever done any" gnrdenlng Is well aware. Manure contains humus In plenty - and all the necessary plant" materials, as well as bacteria which put these materials Into the most usable shape for crops. To get the full benefit of stable manure, however, it should be balunred with add phosphate, which Is comparatively Inexpensive, gardeners at the Iowa state college oCngrioulture say.
