The Poultry Industry.

(By Buff Orpington.)

POINTERS IN BROODING CHICKS. ' 1. Give no food for thirty-six hours after hatching. 2. Then feed them every two hours for i the first seven days. Then feed four times a day until a month old, when three times a day will be sufficient. 3. Keep fresh, pure water before them at .all times; also a small box of charcoal, finely ground, with plenty of coarse, sharp sand on the floor. Also a box of ground oyster shells as grit. Also a box of clean ground bone. It may be said that almost any kind of grit will answer the purpose; we advise as stated.

4. Success lies in the rule—" Keep the chicks growing." Every time a chick is chilled or exhausted by following a hen its growth is retarded, and its owner suffers in consequence. 5. Chicks should be able to find warmth at any time they desire it, to secure rapid growth. A good brooder is just as essen tial as a good incubator. 6. Do not feed hard-boiled egg. Think, is it a natural food. The first feeding may be of pinhead oatmeal. Rolled oats are ready prepared, and can be had of any grocer (this is the oatmeal prepared for instantaneous use as oatmeal gruel), i'eed this dry. Never at any time give them sloppy food. Feed this flaked oatmeal more as a change or a variety, or give them stale bread, brown preferred, moistened with milk — not much moistened, but crumbly.

7. On the third day, after beginning to feed (and not from hatching time), vary the feed. In America it has been found that a prepared cake gives most excellent results. This cake is made by using equal parts of bran, ground corn (maize) and oats (corn and oats ground together) and middlings, which should be salted to taste, intimately mixed, and baked in a pan in the oven. Sift the corn and oats first, and feed the course parts to fowls. If you have fresh milk, the cake may be mixed with it instead of water. "When ready, crumble the cake fine and feed dry.

8. Provide a small run with wood floor covered with bran or fine chaff to the depth of one inch, and in this scatter some small seeds. This will induce the chicks to scratch, but never leave food to go sour. Feed them, and what they are inclined to leave remove.

9. After the first seven days any kind of food, such as mashed potatoes, cooked carrots and turnips, crumbled bread of any kind, or any such wholesome food, may be fed to advantage. 10. When ten days or so old, the bill of fare may be changed somewhat. Feed wheat one day and oats the next. Teach the chicks to eat wheat and cracked corn early by sprinkling some (not much) amongst the bran or chaff. 11. Chicks do not eat much at a time,"but they eat often. 12. Do not omit a single meal. Feed at regular hours. ]3. If it is possible to get steel-cut oats, make this the staple article of diet. 14. A meat meal is sometimes used for chicks, but if too much is fed the results show that it causes bowel diseases. A good plan is to get a piece of butcher's lean meat and either cook it to pieces or chop fine after cooking, and feed this twice a week. More often is injurious when"the chicks are so young. It can with advantage be increased as they get older. A quarter cupful of linseed meal to every quarter of the dry prepared cake mixture given once a week is very beneficial. Many American breeders feed nothing but prepared cake till the chicks are six weeks old.

15. Bran is indigestible if fed raw, and will cause bowel disease in those of weakly frame, but if the bran is well cookod or scalded it makes a good food, as it largely abounds in the phosphates, and is the best bone forming element that we have. 16. The water provided for them should be placed in such a manner that only the chick's beak can become wet. The chicks mustnot be allowed to tread in the water, for dampness is fatal. 17. To every quart of the drinking water add a. gill of lime-water. This lime wafcer is made by getting fresh stone lime, slaking with boiliug water, and then making a quantity of limewater. Keep it in a bottle corked.

' 18. Put into the drinking water a tea spoonful of tincture of iron to each quart of the water, if the chicks appear weak or have weak legs from their very rapid growth. 19. Their growth depends lupon the warmth as much as anything. A young chick is naked like a babe just born, and the down on them affords them little or no protection. It is better t® have the brooder too hot than too cold.

20. Kemember that if the chicks are with hens they must have a warm place, light and sunny; the hen cannot raise chicks as well in winter as summer, for it is not her natural period of the year for so doing. 21. No thermometer is actually needed in the brooder. rlhe best thermometer is really the chick. If the chicks crowd to gether at night time they need more warmth. If they shove their noses out of the sides, etc., it is just right. When you see them scattered all over the brooder floor contented and happy, they are right. 22. It is at night when the chicks meet with their difficulties.

23. When the chicks show signs of leg weakness or clogging of the vent, and bowel troubles result, the brooder has been too cold at nights. 24. "When they have leg-weakness the cause usually is too much bottom heat. Bottom heat is most excellent for chicks till fourteen days old, but after that the heat should come from the t®p, with just enough bottom heat to not have the floor cold. They feel the warmth on the back with more satisfaction than on any other part of the body. 25. Sometimes the chicks will eat well but will have leg-weakness, and will eat and move along on their knees, and are otherwise quite lively. This denotes too rapid growth ; follow directions in parag raph 18. 26. Keep all parts clean. Feed on clean surfaces. Do not leave food to ferment.

27. Keep dry earth in the corner for them to dust in.

28. Once you let the brooder get cold and the chicks receive a chill they never wili recover. A single night may ruin everything. 29. When chicks cry continually give them more warmth.

30. When you see them drowsy and stupid, always crying or having fits, ex amine them under the wings and on the head and neck for the large lice. Also for little red ones.

31. Get up early in the morning and feed them. Do not feed them over night, it may sour. Don't keep them waiting for breakfast, but feed as soon as they come out of the brooders.

32. If milk or buttermilk is given, it must be fresh, and the residuum removed. Milk is not really necessary. Give water, fresh and pure, no matter what else is given. 33. Hatching should begin in April and end in September, though it may be done anytime. 34. From all the crosses the best results are when the Leghorn male is used.

35. Never try to save work. Ninety per cent of the failures with incubators occur from parties desiring the incubator to work without any attention. You must always be " on deck."

36. Chicks not properly incubated will not do as well as those that are, and those coming into the world thus handicapped must have special care if anything is to be made out of them. (To be continued.)
