SUGGESTIONS ON THE FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT Personal Interest in the Flock's Welfare of the Greatest Importance Close Attention to Details and Not Luck Brings the Desired Results By J. Raymond Kessler Practical Poultry man Success in brooding is chiefly a mat ter of knowledge and close personal interest and not a matter of luck, as some would like to believe. Of these two factors, the matter of personal interest is-by far the most important, as even a* wide knowledge of poultry will accomplish little If the personal element is lacking. Personal Interest enables the poultryman to accomplish the endless necessary details of each day without thought of the labor In volved. and it Is the lack of this more than anything else that frequently brings failure. To be successful in rearing the young stock we must begin at the in cubator with the removal of the chicks. It is of the utmost importance that this seemingly insignificant part of the work be done with great care, for chilling the chicks at this time is very often the cause of bowel trou bles of the first two weeks of brood ing. Boxes 4 inches deep, 18 Inches wide and 3 feet long, lined with heavy cotton flannel, will be found best for this purpose. Such a box will hold 100 chicks without crowding. Before the chicks reach the brooder everything should be in readiness. The equipment should have been run long enough to have the quarters thoroughly warm and all regulations made. During the tlrst few days a heat of from 98 to 100 degrees is not too high. After that a temperature of 95 degrees should be high enough, and this may be reduced each week, as the flock grows older. However, no set temperature can be given as the correct amount for a flock of a certain age, as this will necessarily vary with the health of the flock and the season of the year. llrat of the IIrood?r The very best plan to follow in the matter of heat regulation, and the one followed by all poultrymen of experience, is to make the chicks com fortable. With the hover types of brooders the heat can be considered right when the chicks lay under the hovers uncrowded, some of them with their heads out. If the chicks leave the hover the heat is too great, and when they crowd around the center, the heat is too low. Of the two evils the latter will cause the most trou ble. With colony brooder stoves built on the plan of a large hover the same plan of regulating the heat can be followed, but in stoves of the de- SINGLE COMB RHODE ISLAND REDS This is one of the greatest Ameri can breeds. It has taken Its place along with the Plymouth Rock and the Wyandotte. Like all American breeds it was originated to nil a cer tain need of the American markets, and as it happens in this instance the markets were Boston and Providence, which required rich, brown eggs, and good yellow-skinned, yellow-legged fowls of reasonably heavy weight. At the time It was popular to cross' Leghorns, Malays and so on with Co chin and Brahma hens. These crosses produced chicks that were rapid growers. The combination also pro duced pullets that were heavy layers and the general color of the plumage was red. Brown Leghorns and In dian Games were crossed • and re crossed on the progeny successively, and the "little red hen of Rhode 'MAY 26, 1917. A. R., In Cedar 1111 l cemetery, May 30, at 2.30 oclock.

Santner has been conlined to his apartments at the Na tional Hotel for the past two weeks with inflammatory rheumatism. Hector type, both oil and coal-burn ing, some difference in methods is necessary. By the deflector type Is meant colony stoves that are built to deflect a warm circle of heat about the stove and having no liover to retain the warm air. The big oil burners are built in this manner and about 50 per cent, of the coal-burning colony brooder stoves are constructed on this plan. With these the idea should be to keep the chicks from crowding about the stove by keeping the heat so that the flock will find sufficient warmth about eighteeu inches from the stove. Protection From Draft" Some brooders raise objection to the brooder stoves on the premises that the chicks have no protection from drafts 011 the floor. This is easily over come by surrounding the flock at night with a low circle of wire fenc ing covered with muslin. Cellar win dow wire is best for this purpose, as when used in the form of a circle about the stove it will stand without support. The muslin can be fastened to the wire with clips or clothespins. This protection is only necessary dur ing the tlrst week or so. In addition to protecting the flock from drafts across the floor this fence keeps the chicks from wandering away from the stove at night, and tends to keep the flock from crowd ing in corners. The main thing to look to in following this plan Is not to confine the flock too close to the stove and overheat them. Of course, all this applies to the large colony brooder stoves with hundreds of chicks in one flock, the method of brooding that is being adopted by a large majority of poultrymen who require greater flock capacity than the small hovers furnish. The lamp hovers of 50 or 60-chick capacity have by no means lost their place through the introduction of stoves. They are best for the man who hatches small flocks. In the matter of general care the chicks can be cared for in the same manner in 1 large ltocks as was the practice with small flocks. For the 1 first day or two It is best to conflne the chicks to the hover or closely about the stove if the colony brooders are used. After that the chicks may be allowed the freedom of the scratch pen. Outdoor Exfrolne For Health It Is rarely advisable to allow the chicks in tlie yards until they are a week old, not because the outdoor exercise hurts them, but because they are not well enough acquainted with their quarters to find their way back to the heat. Then, too, the chick's ability to take care of himself does not seem to be developed at such an early age. After they are a week or ten days old the chicks must be allowed some outdoor exercise if only for an hour a day. The run in the sunshine and contact with the earth acts as a tonic, which nothing else can duplicate. Flocks confined too long frequently develop leg weakness, a trouble that only contact with the earth will cor rect. For the floors of the brooder and Island" became famous among com merclal poultrymen. After many years of practical use, gome fanciers became interested in the breed and a few were exhibited at poultry shows during the latter 'Bos. In 189J they were exhibited at Phila delphia as Golden Buffs. Some speci mens had rose combs and others sin gle combs, and the breeds were de veloped as Rhode Island Reds. Their fancies were very enthusiastic and energetic; competition to breed and exhibit the best specimens were keen. The hens lay big brown egg# and many specimens have established high laying records. The chicks are strong and vigorous. When full grown the males weigh from 7>4 to 8 ,4 pounds; females OH to 6Vi pounds, though many specimens exceed these weights. The pullets mature early and lay well, and the breed has proven itself one of the best, both for the backyard man and the farmer. Duncannon Young Men Enlist in U. S.

It is an excellent absorbent, easy for' the ehlcks to scratch in and fairly digestible when eaten In small quan tities. In the matter of cleanliness, one* a week should be often enough to clean the scratch pens of the brooder house, but It is advisable to clean about under hovers at more frequent intervals. Some poultrymen use sand on tile floor about the hover, cleaning it daily. As a sanitary measure this is decidedly worth while. Perhaps the most Important of nil is the feeding of the young chicks for the first few weeks. It Is the foundation upon which the future of the flock depends. Improper feed ing in early life not only causes losses' but also stunts growth and causes disorders that show their effects later, even though the trouble Is apparently outgrown when the fowl reaches ma turity. There Is some difference of opinion as to how soon the chicks should be fed after hatching. Some claim chicks should have no food for forty-eight hours, others advocate that the chicks should be fed as soon as they show a desire for food: Usually the chicks will sleep after being taken from the incubator, at which time they need no feed, but as soon as they become restive and begin picking at things and at each other feeding should be gin. ■ Feeding the Flrat Week ~ The first feed should consist of something easily digested. The feed ing should be regular and often—■ small quantities at a time being given anil great care taken not to overfeed. A mixture of equal parts rolled oats and stale bread crumbs, mixed with' finely-ground hard-boiled eggs, shells included, has given excellent results. This should be mixed In the propor tion of one egg to six times that bulk of the rolled oats and bread crumb mixture. A little fine grit may be added to the mixture, but only a lit tle, as the chicks will eat anything the first two weeks of their lives, and are as likely to fill up on grit as feed. This mixture should be fed five times a day for the first three days on large sheets of brown paper; after that chick feed may be allowed twice a day and the egg mixture three times a day. After the first week the egg mix ture may be fed in small galvanized troughs and the grain thrown into light litter. Only what the chicks will clean up In ten or fifteen min utes should be allowed, and care taken to remove any mash that Is left. Dry wheat bran kept before thef chicks in small troughs all the time has been found very good and will frequently be found helpful In avoid ing constipation. Water in small fountains should ba allowed the chicks from the very first. It Is best to temper the water for the first week, as ice-cold water has been found detrimental. Hoppers of chlck-slze grit, oyster shells and charcoal should be placed before the chicks after they are two weeks old, but it is inadvisable to allow an unlimited supply before this time. At Three Weeks of Age After the chicks are three weeks old the egg mixture should be gradu ally displaced by the following mash: 200 lbs. wheat bran, 400 lbs. cornmeal. 200 lbs. middlings, 100 lbs. linseed meal, 100 lbs. ground oats—hulls sift ed out, 100 lbs. alfalfa meal and 200 lbs. screened beef scraps. This mix ture should be moistened with water or milk to make a crumbly moist mash, not sticky, and should be fed twice a day in such amounts as the chicks will clean up quickly. The grain mixture should be fed three times a day. After the chicks are four weeks old a growing feed grain mixture will be needed in place of the chick feed. At eight weeks old the growing feed grain mixture may be displaced by a mixture, of equal parts whole wheat, cracked corn and chipped oats. Thai number of feedings should be gradu ally reduced until at eight weeks they receive only three feedings—grain morning and night with moist mash at noon. Great care must be taken not to overfeed. When the chicks are a week old & daily supply of green feed should not be forgotten. Lettuce, grass clippings, sprouted oats and mangels are good' green feeds for young chicks. Cab bilge, rape, kale and like plants are good green feeds for chicks more than eight weeks old, but when fed to very young chicks are likely to cause bowel disorders. t - Many poultry keepers presume that so long as they give their flocks corn and, perhaps, other grains, the fowls are being suffic iently well fed. They forget, or else never realized, that chickens must be properly fed for best re sults. Next week's article Is de voted to the accessories to the fowl's regular blll-of-fare.
