BABY chicks should be confined' to the brooder house only long enough .for -them to learn- where to go to get warm and until they get strong enough to get around nicely. Four or five days are long enough if, the weather is nice-'outside. ' Before letting them out, provide some means of confining them to a small space in front of the house. A frame two feet high to which one-half-inch-mesh vyire chicken netting is nailed makes a splendid portable fenccfor such a yard. When the chicks are first let out it will be necessary to watch them un--til they learn to go back into the brooder to get warm. Often the lit tie fellows when outside will crowd, into a corner, become chilled and af ter that rarely" amount to anything. After they 'have made the journev into the house a few times they will get along all right. Should a sudden rain come up it will be necessary to drive the chicks in. Another danger from .rain storms is th'at the chicks become chilled and unless they can be dried in a short time it is apt to check them in their growth. A precaution that should be taken in the brooder house is to put a piece of fine-mesh netting about two feet long and one foot high across the corners so as to prevent the chicks from crowding in them. if the yard in which -the baby chicks are put for range is not pro vided , yith good sod, some sort of green food must be given them. It will be noticed that some of the chickr grow faster than others and as ihey begin to fill up the brooder house, pick out the largest and move them to another plce. By so doing you prevent overcrowding and give the smalrer and weaker chicks a bet ter chance to ,grow and develop. Crovvdingoften causes serious losses ana snouia nc prevented by all mean The stronger chicks have to, be cou nneci to their new quarters by the use of a portable fence probably for four or five .day's. ' . Do not make the mistake of leav ing the doors. of windows open so that a draft results as it will surely cause trouble within a short time in the. way of colds and sickness. It is always a temptation on a bright, sun shiny day to open up fhe brooder house but in doing so be sure that no draft occurs. As soon as the chicks arc old enough, say four or five weeks, be gin giving them cracked corn and wheat in the place of the baby-chick grains. "A splendid mash for them, which should be placed in a 'hopper and left before them at all times, is one composed of one part (by weight) rolled oats, two parts bran, one part corn meal, one part middlings, and ten per cent. beef scrap. This mix ture can also be fed as a moist crumbly mash once a day. When the chicks are eight to teii weeks old, add one pound of - ground oats and increase the meat scrap to one, part, the corn meal to two parts and de crease the bran to one part in the above mentioned mash. In addition, giu them all the sour milk or butter milk they, will drink; it is'also good to use nrilk to mix the wet mash. Feed the chicks grain about four times a da)r, if you wish to hand-feed, until they are three months old; af ter that three times. . In feeding wet mash, do not feed more than the chicks will eat within fifteen rhinutes. If you have overfed, be sure to gather up what is left and feed to the older birds as if it is left before the chickens 'and becomes sour it is very apt to cause- disgestive troubles. Supply the baby chicks witlv grit. ' Drinking fountains of a kind that can be kept scrupulously dean should contain a supply ol fresh water which the chicks have access to at all times; after they are four or fiye days old. When the . chicks are raised with hens, do not let anotheV hen range until the youngsters are at least four, weeks old. In this way' you prevent large losses in the young stock. If flic hen is allowed to range at the strat, the chicks follow her about the farm through the wet grass in the monring where they get out of hear ing the mother hen's cluck become chilled and die. Many successful poultrynicn never aHow their hens to run with the chicks. It 'often happens that the old stock and the growing chicks run together and the young stock is therefore apt to be deprived of its full share of feed. Sqmo arrangement should be made whereby the young chicks can secure feed whenever they wish. A frame covered by cither one or two inch wire netting on top and extend ing over on the sides within about three inches of the ground will be most convenient for this purpose. This frame can be placed over the feed and' water of the young chicks. Hirry M. Lamon, in The Farmer's Wife, March,' 1924. National Forest Timber for Sale.
