Company G, of the Eighth regiment,
prepared to answer the order of the
President immediately, but moves are
on foot to raise two other volunteer
organizations, cadet soldiers at the
Carlisle Indian School would offer their
services, and James Riley Wheelock.
noted Indian bandmaster, has offered
to become a band leader with a divis

He was leader of the celebrated Indian
Band which toured the United States
for five years. At the present time he
is the director of the Municipal Band
of Hagerstown, Md.
Over 300 students are now ready for
such an emergency as confronts the
nation. Many graduates also could be

CARE OF CHICKS THROUGH
THE CRITICAL PERIOD
Properly Handled for the
First Two Weeks There is
Little Danger of Sickness
Operator Should Aim to
Imitate Natural Methods as
Much as Possible
Whatever prejudice attached to the
artificial hatching of chicks at one
time, the poultry industry has been
given its progress by this very means.
Where a hen will hatch and brood a
dozen chicks, an incubator and brood
er will liatcli and protect hundrdes of
cltlcks. .The mother lieu Is not to be
despised, however', because of the les
sons she can teach in caring for her
brood: the incubator and brooder
should be handled in imitation of her
ways. The basis of success with
poultry lies in the care of the chicks
for the first two weeks.
A baby chick performs its first func
tions Instinctively. It hovers under the
I hen where it is warmest and in the
least danger of being crushed by her
weight. If a chick goes abroad it soon
becomes distressed and is glad to re
spond to the cluck of the mother hen
by seeking refuge in her warm
feathers. If left undisturbed a baby
chick will not be able to obtain food
for at least 4 8 hours. Nature has pro
vided for its nourishment by means
of the yolk of the egg, which will sus
tain the chick for the first two days
of its life.
These are the lessons in early care
and brooding which natural incubation
teaches. Sufficient warmth In early
brooding is the first step In the success
ful handling of chicks in artlfllcial in
cubation. The proces of hatching is
simple enough, bus the brooding of
j young chicks Is likely to prove more or
less troublesome. Whenever possible,
newly-hatched chicks should be allow
ed to remain In the Incubator for about
twenty-four hours. By all means avoid
chilling chicks at the start.
Importance of Fresh Air
Next to warmth come ventilation
and cleanliness, As soon as the hatch
ing Is over shells and unhatched eggs
should be removed from the Incubator
and the temperature should be regu
lated to range between 100 and 102
degrees, Fresh air In abundance should
be ndmltted. Baby chicks need oxygen,
not only to strengthen their lungs, but
to purify their blood. The Incubator
Rhould be kept dark In Imitation of
natural Incubation, If the machine has
a glass door, bang a thick cloth over
it to darken the Interior,
In tempering tho warmth with fresh
air, care should be exercised not to
cause a draft on the chicks, This
applies while the Utile fellows are In
the Incubator and after they have
been removed to the brooder, Fresh
air should be supplied freely, but
drafts and dampness must be avoided.
The ventilation should be arranged to
carry off carbon dioxide and other
poisonous gases,
ProjwriiiK the Brooder
Before the commencement of the
hatching season every part of the
brood should be thoroughly cleaned
ond examined. The careful poultry
keeper will not place buby chicks in
a brooder without first having tested
its heating device for at least twenty
four hours, This applies to both old
and new brooders,
If the heating devioe Is new ta the
operator It should be studied and tried
before the brooder Is used, Then if
the correct temperature can be main
tained the new brooder may be regard
ed as safe for the chicks. In providing
for the proper degree of warmth, the
directions of tho brooder manufactur
ers should bo followed.
If an old hrooder is to be uiied,
don't ostuime that it will work this sea
son because it did last year. Rome part
may have become rusty, broken or
lost. I have known a whole brood to
have been lost fn this way,

warmth is also Important. If the sea
son is so early that severe changes of
outside temperature are liable to oc
cur, caro should be taken that the
brooder has a su Relent amount of re
serve heat to meet this condition. The
chicks are often chilled and lost as
a result of rapid changes in the
weather.
The correct temperature lor baby
chicks is from SO to 100 degrees. The
brooder should be started at the higher
temperature and reduced a degree or
so daily until the chicks ure two or
three weeks old. A brooder that will
register 100 degrees an Inch above the
floor line, under adverse weather con
ditions will usually prove safe and
satisfactory.
Baby chicks must be broken to the
hover. They have no mother hen to
call them. But they soon become crea
tures of habit if properly handled at
the beginning. The poultry raiser
must train them and here is where
| patience is required. The new brood
must be trained to take to the hover
as it would seek warmth and protec
tion at the call of a mother hen.
Training Chicks to Brood
Chicks should be moved from the
incubator to the brooder at night. Not
only are they easier handled when it
is dark, but they are more likely to
remain where they are put under the
hover. For the first night or two they
should be confined rather closely to the
hover for this reason.
If not carefully watched for the first
two or three days, chicks may huddle
together in a corner of the brooder,
where they are likely to get chilled, or
trample one another to death in their
effort to keep warm. It only takes a
couple of days to train them to take
to the hover. The poultry raiser can
not afford to discontinue his care and
watchfulness, however, if he expects to
succeed with his young brood.
For the first few days chicks need
rest more than anything else. If sun
light enters the brooder they will spend
hours at a time huddled together en
joying the natural warmth. This is
good for them aa it helps to strengthen
them. Whenever possible the brooder
should be moved so as to allow the
sunshine to fall near the hover or in
the warmest part of the brooder. Since
the chicks will surely seek the sun
light, the aim should be to so
arrange the brooder that they will not
become chilled as the sun moves away.
Feeding the Chicks
As previously stated, Nature pro
vides for a chick's nourishment for the
first two or three days of life. Chicks
should be given neither food nor drink
for the first forty-eight hours. If fed
sooner it will be harmful and not help
ful. The .unabsorbed portion of the
yoke serves to Rupply the chick with
nourishment. Additional food is likely
to cause Indigestion and bowel trouble,
which should bo avoided by ail means.
More chicks are lost evory season by
overfeeding than by underfeeding.
I-/et the brooder floor bo covered
with dry sand and fine-cut clover or
alfalfa. The sand will absorb the
droppings. The chicks should be en
couraged as early as posslblo to take
exerclße, This can be done by mak
ing them scratch for their food.
Young chicks are easily trained to
eat, When hungry they Instinctively
peck at everything in sight. This habit
makes it essential that absolute clean
liness be practiced. At first they should
be fed on a board or shallow tray,
which should removed us soon as their
appetite has been satisfied. Chicks soon
learn an attendant's ways and will
quickly come at a given sound. They
should bo fed regularly and not loss
than three times a day. No food should
be left around to sour or be soiled.
Better to feed too little each tlmo than
too mueh, A little dried bread crumbs
mixed with brar, rollel oat and cut
clover makes ft splendid ration, wet

Value of Clean Wafer
C'ean water is as important as

water vessels should be shallow and so
arranged that the chicks cannot walk
in them. It is better not to use open
vessels of any kind. Drinking foun

It is a well-known fact that baby

Anconns are the newest of the Medi

America, Their cousins the Leghorns,
Mlnorcas and Spanish, have performed
so ■well ns layers that the Ancona was
accepted almost without question. They
were first Introduced Into England
about 1880. and'some tlmelater into
the United States. The first specimens
came from Italy, whore they are <iuite

resemblea the Leghorn, even to the

The plumage Is black, mottled with
white. The mottling is In the form of
a white tip to a black feather, and
should occur on about every fifth one.
For exhibition purposes, solid white
feathers, or too large markings of
white are regarded as undesirable.

being received at the Park Depart

dry mash is desired let it consist of
coarse bran, rolled oats and cut clover.
If chicks are properly handled for

be little danger of sickness attacking
the brood: it is then in a fair way to
grow rapidly, remain healthy ami de

profitable fowls.
