Huber has HOW TO BUILD A VERTIBLE Rearing Young Stock is Troublesome Unless the Proper Facilities are Pro vided Design for a Combination Brooder - Colony - Laying House of Simple Ideas By ROBERT ARMSTRONG Expert Poultrymuii and Writer It has been conclusively proven that if chickens arc to lc raised in large numbers on a really profitable basis, they must be hatched artificially. If incubated artificially then they must be brooded by artificial heat; for a chick requires a tcm|>erature of from 90 to 100 degrees for the first month or six weeks of its life. The success of a poultry plant depends upon these two processes, more especially brood ing. Most of the dlfliculties are due to improper brooding facilities—either defective brooding apparatus or the brooder house is to blame. This ar ticle lias to do with tin- design for a brooder house of known practabil- Hatching is comparatively simple. If given strong fertile eggs, reliable incubators are almost certain to bring off satisfactory hatches. The machines are usually operated in ttfb cellar, where the temperature is fairly uni form, and they are probably closely assembled so that it is easy to care for them. But after the hatching— from the time the chicks leave the shelter of the incubator until they are ten days old; in fact, until they are weaned from the brooder, come en? tirely different circumstances. The poultryman is liable to regard life as a very serious proposition during this period. If .things do not break right, no phase of poultry raising is likely Ito prove so distressing and trouble some as the rearing of young stock. Yet, if this part of the work can be accomplished without serious mishap, it is a truly delightful, interesting task. Chicks require warmth, sunshine, fresh air, exercise and stimulating food. With the exception of the lat ter, all of these essentials are ob tained by th brooder. Yes, even ex ercise is governed by conditions found in the brooder, without which leg weakness and countless other troubles result. Methods of Chick Rearing There are many kinds of brooding apparatus and a wide variety of brooder houses; lack of space forbids a detailed description of them. In the main they are divided into three gen eral classes; 1, the small outdoor brooder, of about fifty chick capacity, 2, the long brooder house with narrow pens and yards, heated by overhead hot water pipes or individual lamps, 3, the colony brooder of 500 to 1,500 chick capacity, heated by liquid-fuel- fT'POfc - I ft Chimncv C*W 1 ® -o'V- \'4,—_ io'-O* _ I -<.

In the small outdoor brooder we | find the great trouble lies in taking care of so many small units, scattered over a large area, especially in stormy weather. Kuthermore, instead of an even temperature, or one with consid-" erable reserve, in the small brooder i we find a variation of perhaps 30 | degrees between noon and midnight, with nothing but the close supervision | and untiring efforts of the attendant | to meet this irregularity. He must j guard against weakening the brood i by having them overheated, or hav ing them chilled, which is still worse for them. Unqestionably, this method ! is productive of excellent results, j if one has the time and pa-1 tience to devote to it. Large units i do not raise quite so many chicks i as the smaller ones, because the mor- j tality due to accidents is greater in j the larger units; but, commercial | poultrymen figure, and correctly so, j that it is easier and cheaper to pro vide extxra chicks than extra labor. The long brooder house is the easi- i est way to care for little chicks. All the work is done on the inside, storms • hold no dread for the caretaker, the I temperature is more uniform, and it i has a big reserve heat. But, because j the chicks are necessarily yarded so I close together, and because such I numbers are reared on the same' ground year after year, it is difficult I to safeguard the flocks against disease. | Moreover, this sort of a brooder house is the most expensive building on the farm, and because it cannot he used for other purposes, it must lie idle for six months of each year. Hot water piped br'ooder houses were extensively used at one time, but they are now rarely built, except vipon plants where expense is a secondary consideration, and where it is desired to hatch the greater part of the year. Virtues of the Brooder Stove Thus, there was a demand for a brooding device which would perform its work on a large scale, at the least possible cost for buildings, for fuel, for operating costs, and so on. I The brooder stove was the outcome of! this demand. It didn't just happen; I it evolved. The large stoves, those! havig a capacity of 500 chicks or! more, and using coal for fuel, have' come into general use in the East i in the past four years, whereas in the' poultry-growing districts of California ! oil-burning stoves of this character, have been used for some time. Ten years ago, if one had advocated : brooding chicks in flocks of a thousand or fifteen hundred, the j sanity of such an exponent would have been severely questioned. The idea seems radical to some people to day, but it has proven entirely practi cal. Why the Stove Is So lOffectlve In many of the earlier brooding appliances there were, generally speaking, two distinct tejnperatures and no gradations of heat; the inter 16r temperature of the hover, so fre quently stuffy and hot, and the out side air, which is very apt to be too cold. Either of these the chick had to accept, and both were weakening 'APRIL 1 21, 1917.

The brooder stove is a high power furnace capable of radiating a I deal of heat, which, by means of a widespread sheet iron deflector, is dis tributed downward over the backs of the chicks, where it is most needed. W hen taken from the incubator di-j rect to • the brooder the chicks In ] stinctively learn to form a circle around the stove with a precision that is remarkable. Without any assistance! from the attendant, they will guage | their distance from the base of the: j stove entirely by the intensity of the j j heat most comfortable to them. In i | other words, the stove provides a | I gradual decrease in temperature, from I j the base, which is very hot, to the j | farthest corners of the room, which i | can be kept as cool as desired by ven- j j tilatlon. j This arrangement of heating, whch i | combined with proper ventilation, is [ unquestionably the most practical sys- j tem, for it permits every chick to | j seek the degree of warmth best suited | to its individual comfort and well be- | ing. No matter how painstaking the j attendant may be, nor how hard ho | ! may struggle to make a brood com fortable,, only the chicks themselves | j know the warmth they require. Their i ! impulse is more accurate than all the j thermostats ever invented. A brooder stove does not require I any special type of building, any more | than the house shall be fairly well | constructed, weather proof, dry and I capable of being ventilated without direct drafts. The stove may be in stalled in a colony house, and later, | when the brood no longer requires artificial heat, the stove may be re j moved and the same quarters used for rearing + he young stock. Or, | stoves may be erected in the laying I houses, and when the broods have I been weaned the stoves are taken | down. This factor means economy in i buildings. Brootler, Colony and Laying House The accompanying sketch illus trates a building primarily intended for a brooder house, but which may be utilized as a colony house, too, and as a laying house, by simply adding ! roosting compartments and nests. The | house is common sense in every detail, i and represents the greatest economy I consistent with strong construction ' and general security. A brooder j house must be tight; it must be warm. ' A leaky, drafty house is wasteful, not ! alone in the losses due to a heavy , mortality, but in the extra fuel re quired to heat the building. The house as shown is 16 feet square, which will accomodate a stove !of 1,000-chick capacity. In Fix. 1 the building is erected <a couple of feet above the ground on concrete piers, and has wooden lioor. If a dirt floor is contemplated it is advis able to put down a concrete wall for the foundation, as shown in Fig. 2. A wooden sill is laid on top the wall, bolted to it, upon which the studding or framework is erected. In Fig. 1 the piers are in three rows, supporting the sills at intervals of about five feet. The sills are 3xß-in. timbers, supporting the floor joists of 3x6-in. material on 16-in. centers. The framework is constructed mainly from 2x4-in. stuff, including the rafters, which have a comparatively short span on a roof of this type. The walls may consist of matched boards, cov ered with patent roofing, novely sid ing, or weather boards. The first named is the cheapest and equally as durable as any other material. Shingles do not wear well on roofs of low pitch, hence this house is roof ed with a good grade of patent roof ing, laid on sheathing boards of matched lumber. Perhaps the most noteworthy fea ture of this house is its system of ven tilation. In the four corners of the room, about fifteen Inches above the floor line, are cut circular openings in the wall about six Inches in diam eter. These are fitted with galvan ized iron stovepipe and elbows In the form of an S-shaped ventilator, point ||fe\ Start Chicks Right 111 llll 1 r Starting Is the critical time.

The consideration was $6,000 and plans will at once be started to fit the building for lodge purposes. The Carlisle Club-during the past week purchased the home of A. R. Rupley and will move to that building within a short time. The first floor of the new Owl quar ters is fitted for club quarters while the social, pool and dining rooms arc located on the second floor. The third floor contains lodge rooms. Teh Car lisle nest has a membership of 168 while the women's nest, oragnized last night, has eighteen charter members. Mrs. H. C. Morgan was in charge of the organiaztion meeting of the Carlisle ladies nest, the meeting be ing held in the Grand Army hall at Carlisle. A second meeting will be held next Wednesday night when offi cers will be nominated and additional members elected. Mrs. Morgan will preside at this meeting. The local ladies nest met last night in the quurters in the Cameron hall, Second and Walnut streets, jind elect ed thirty-six new members to the order. The lodge now has a member ship roll of over 200 and is rapidly growing.

Over the inside a screen is placed to pre vent chicks from flying into it, and a damper is fitted in the elbow to control the intake of fresh air. The house is ceiled on the inside face of the studding, and to the under side of the collar beams which tie the rafters together. Where the stove pipe passes through this ceiling on its way to the chimney, a ventilating well or duct is built about 80 inches square, which is fitted with doors to regulate the escape of foul ai.r into the loft space above. This loft space in turn is ventilated by an opening in either gable, fitted with louvers, or oblique slats like a Venetian blind, to keep out rains. The front of the house contains three large sash which make up the greater part of the wall, and fairly flood the interior with sunlight. These windows are hinged at the top and made to open outward, permitting ad ditional ventilation on v'ery warm days. Each end of the house has a large sash, arranged horizontally, and the upper half of the entrance door may be of glass. In the summer time when the brooder is being used as a colony house, or when occupied as a laying house, the front sash may be removed at the discretion of the attendant, and curtain frames of mus lin substituted.
