Mr. Editor:—
, Without doubt, the dry method
is the easiest, safest and ,most
economical method of ieeding small
chicks. It is always a risk to the
health ot young birds to feed
moist .mashes. Experienced poul
try men have obtainel yery good
results from feeding raw or cooked
mashes, but it will be wisest course
for the -beginner to confiue himself
to the dry method, usiug sound,
~-#weet gram. I
The chicles should be kept con
fine I close to the mother lien fur
the first two or three days. Ft r
the first two or three weeks the lieu
.should be kept shut up in the coop'
letting the chicks rnn free. Keep
water in a clean drinking
fouutain where the hetiarv) chicks
can reach ir, keep the.
chicks at times a supply of
chick-size ' grit, granulated bone
ami charcoal. Scatter a little com
mercial chick fool in sonv* fine
litter a«nd let them scratch for it
Feed four or five times daily, but
do not feed so much at one time
that they are not willing to scratch
when the next feeding time comes.
After teu or fifteen days the
chicks may be gradually, weaned
from the chick food, and cracked,
corn and wheat fed in its place. If
possibe, always have a grass run,
or it that is not obtainable, give a
substitute such as cut clover, aJfafl
fa, sprouted oats, or cabbage.
It is very natural that chicks as
well as human beings should tire of
•one bill of fare day after dty, so it
is nec.ssary trt supply supplemwi
tary feed to stimulate the appetite
and to preveutthe chicks from get
ting off their feed For this there
is nothing better than cooked
.wheat or cracked rice. The grain
should be boiled thoroughly, first
seasoning the water slightly with
.Silt. Bjil until the grains are very
soft and almost all the water has
evaporated Do not stir any tuore
than necessary while cooking, as it
is desired to have the grains as
. whole as possible. This food
should be allowed to cool before
feed nig. When ready to feed re
move the amount you intend to
give the chicks and sprinkle a littie
bone or beel meal over it, bone
meal preferable. Feed 011 clean
»baaids and spread Sufficiently to
give all chicks free access to it
without having to trample all over
the food G,vc as m ich of this
food as they will clean up in from
fifteen |o twenty minutes.
Kemeiuber to keep fresh water
before the chicks all the time, and
JkeejpiJj''.- drinking fountains clean
