Elford Dominion Poultry Husbandmen With Specialized Information Contributed by G. WwW, Miller Author of Coldbelt Poultry Course. Registered in sccordance with the Copyright Act Feeding Baby Ohicks. The usefulness, if not the early death, of thousands of chicks is greatly impaired by being fed too soon. When a chick leaves the shell it has within its little body enough | food to supply its needs for from 48 to 72 hours. Just before it hat- ches it absorbes that portion of the yolk which has not already been used, and until this is completely as- similatéd the chicks cannot be fed without danger of starting fermenta- tion in the intestines, setting up bacterial action which weakens the chickens for life, it it does not kill it. The chicks should not be fed until the twenty-féurth day, counting from the time the eggs were set. ---- Feed Sparingly at First. Until the chicks are able to run about in search of food, they should be fed very sparingly. Overfeeding at this period, even after 'the yolk has been completely removed, will cause serious digestive troubles. The external indication of overfeeding is usually shown by a TOTS Yijiten pro- nounced diarrhoea of vafying color, but usually grayish white. If the chicks have been chilled and diarr- hoea, or "pasting up behind," ap- pears it is safe to assume that they have been overfed. The only excep- tion to this is in the case of vacillary white diarrhoea, which is an in- herited trouble and for which there is no known cure. Btart Chicks on Milk. The first nourishment given to the chicks should be a drink 'of sour skimmilk or buttermilk. If they do not readily take this, pick a few of the chicks up, one at a time, and dip their bills two or three times into the milk., This will teach them to drink, and the others in the flock will readily follow their example. Thereafter keep milk always before them. Next, give them a feed of fine chick grit, dropping a few grains at a time on a smooth board, slowly at first but much more rapidly after a Yew minutes, until the chicks pick up what they require. When the chicks have learned to eat, keep grit in a hopper always before them, and to this add:finely crushed oyster shell, \ Scratch Mixture for Baby Chicks: Then give a feed of finely cracked grains. Many of the commercial mixtures are good and are conven- fent to feed, but the poultrymean can make his own scratch migture by using the following grains, in the proportions named: -- Corn, finely cracked, 3 lbs. Oats, pinhead or rolled, 1 1b. 'Wheat, cracked, 1 Ib, Millet seed, 1-2 1b. Pa f Feed this once or twice on a board, but after that scatter it in the litter and let the little fellows scratch for it. Feed grain first thing in the morning and about two o'clock in the afternoon. These cracked grains in the litter make(the chicks take exercise, which is necessary to keep |. J them healthy, Give the Mash Dry. ~ , When three days old place dry mash before them, and either keep it 3 in hoppers where they can always get' at it, or feed it to them four ti a day. The hopper method is quits as effective as the latter, and saves much trouble, Dry mash is preferable to a 'moist- ened one for all chicks from the start. Moistened mash often causes digestive troubles which are seldom encountered when dry mash is used. A good commercial mash, fed for the first three months, has much to recommend it. It saves labor, and contains a-wide variety of ingredi- ents of high food value. The follow- ing makes a good hotye-made mash mixture: Wheat bran, 1 1b. Oat flour, or oatmeal, 1 1b. Cornmeal, or cornmash¢ 1 1b. Meat meal ("Big Sixty"), 1 1b. Salt, 1-4 oz. Charcoal, fine, 1-2 1b. This method of feeding the grain and mash will be found satisfactory for the first 4 to 6 weeks, Questions on This Week's Lesson. 1. Why should chicks not be fed for the first two or three days? 2. What should be the first nour- ishment of newly-hatched chicks? 3. Why should scratch feed be given in litter? 4. Why is a dry mash preferable to a moistened one for chicks? Answers to Last Week's Questions. 1. We learn from the wild hen the absolute necessity of fresh air, pure food, pure water and clean surround- ings in brooding circles. 2, The canopy stove system of brooding is one that gives the chicks conditions most nearly approaching those of the wild state possible under commercial conditions. It gives the chicks wide latitude, the required heat, pure air and general comfort. 3. Before chicks are put under a hover the stove should be operated long enough to make sure it is work- ing smoothly and to thoroughly dry out the house. 4. The temperature that is best for brooding may best be judged by watching the chicks. If it is too low they will huddle around the source of heat; if too high they get as far away as possible, When the tem- perature is correct they are either running about or sleeping a foot or two from the stove, LS Last Oall for Grass seed should surely be sown before the April showers have finish ed and the warmer days of May be- gin. Its germination and growth will be twice as successful. The later the seed is sown, the more care it will require to bring it into thick growth. Study the soil of the lawn and select seed accordingly. Grass seed has been made the subject of scienti- fic study and now every first-class seed house has a variety of mixtures to sult various kinds of soil and situations. If you have a dry, sandy soll, buy a grass seed mixture mix- ed for such conditions. If it is heavy soll, buy a standard grade. If it is acid as shown by the sour dock and Stops Stomach Gas ) Prevents Fermentation If fermentation of food in the stomach can be prevented, you go a long way towards stopping the most frequent ailment of the day. of b : 5y = I; il 4 2. 3 Lawnmaking sorrel, the seedman will give you a grass seed which flourishes pnder such conditions, Many of the mixtures contain a certain percentage of seed of grass which will make a quick growth and display while the more permanent types are establishing themselves. If there are bare spots in the lawn, white clover may be sprinkled here and there. Many people admire white clover in the lawn. Kentucky. Blue grass is a standard variety for fine lawns. This is good seed to sprinkle over any bare spots that may appear. On new lawns about a pound of seed is required for 300 square feet of space, a space 30 by 10 feet. If it lawn which has grown thin, only half this quantity will be required. But the basic idéa of getting a good lawn is getting good seed. If grass seed is bought in bulk from general stores, it is not likely to be of the same high quality.of germina- tion and selection as that offered by re-cleaned and mixed carefully ac- cording to sclentific formulas for proportion of varieties needed to make a thick, velvety turf.
