V 1 THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1941 PAGE SEVEN ;::$ Win Two Trampling Siitoiy t.t Gatcsville Gym ' The Perquimans High School bas ketball teams were clicking like well-oiled machines on last Friday -' night when tfiey trampled the Sun ' bury teams under an avalanche of baskets in the Gatesville gymnasium ; In the opener between the girls, ' representing the two schools, a see V saw battle was in progress during most of the game, The Squaws had some difficulty becoming accustom ed to the large floor at Gatesviliw ' buf found themselves during the ' second quarter to forge ahead in the - scoring and they never relinquished ftlftrir lead. ' Mrequent substitutions were made btb Indians and all the girls played during part of the game, v Mares and Gault did the sooring foi Hertford, while Hudgins, Clarke and Taylor tallied the points for Sun bury." The Indian Squaws made a ' fine showing on defense. Guards starting the game for Hertford were Edwards, E. White and Tucker. H. White was the other storting for ward for the Squaws. Score by quarters showed Sun- bury leading 4-0 at the end of the . first period and still ahead 8-6 at t half time. The .Squaws took the lead, during the third period which ended 11-9. The final count was 16-13 in favor of Hertford. Boys Win Easily The Indians had an easy time eating the boys from Sunbury in a ' one-sided game that ended 34-13 in favor of the Indians. Byrum and NoweW were high scorers for Hert ford, while Stokes, Dillard and Nixon played a great defensive game to hold the Sunberries to a low count. The game started slowly with Hertford holding a 3-2 edge at the ; end of the first period. Giving an example of some fast breaking plays during the second chukker, the In dians ran the score to 11-16 by hall time. Proper Care Of Baby Chicks By Wm. K. FOX I have often heard the. word down on the MjUWo. useu in uic ruuiuj uuoi- ness, or rather in the business of raising poultry. I personally do no" believe that this word has any par ticular place in the business. It is not a matter of "LUCK." WhyT Weill, for this reason. There are three essential factors" necessary in raising poultry regardless of wheth er you raise many or just a few These three factors are as follows. 1. Good breeding. (a) Healthy disease-free stock. (b) Heavy producing stock. (c) Large eggs, rapid growth, fas. feathering qualities. 2. 'Good feed. (a) Proper ingredients and pro tein. (b-'Necessary vitamins. ' (c) Fresh or newly mixed feed. 3. Good Management. If all three of the above mentioi. ed factors are properly enforced then it is not a matter of luck. Let us have a heart-to-heart talK about the best way to tare for the delicate little Baby Chick. I say del icate, because how else could they be within three short weeks Just twenty-one days they have develop ed from one little cell about the size of a pin point, thus changing tt yolk and white of an egg into a ten der little life. This little life musi be protected so that it may have j chance to grow into a husky broifler i or pullet. This is not hard to do but so often it is not done properly. First, we mut arrange to keep them warm and comfortable. The chick's lungs are protected from the outside air by a little down and a very thin skin on its back. There fore, the chick's back is the most im portant part to keep warm as it is the point where chill is most quickly felt. Mother Nature has provided for this by giving chickens a high body temperature 10614-107 de grees. You have noticed, that an old Mother Hen with chicks spends mosC of her time sitting down. Why does she do this? So that her babies may run under her and push their little gNowell broke away from his i l acks against her warm breasv. gy&td several times during the third j T.ieir feet may be on chilly ground period during which the Indians ran ! or a cold floor but they do not care the score to 22-11. Stokes fouled j, as long as they can warm their delv out durin? the fourth period but the1 cate. little lungs. When they ai Indians continued to pile up the 'points and the final whistle found the Perquimans boys ahead 34-13. Berry, Wood and Byrum substi tuted during the game for the start ing five which included Nowell, Cannon, Stokes, Nixon and Dillard. Perry, J. Pierce and Hobbs did the point getting for the Sunbury team. M No Other Reason Chaplain If I lead a donke u to a pail of water and a pail of beer, which will he drink? 3 ffeb The water.

When they be gin to get a little cool, back they ' run to mother and push under tier breast. As the chukS get older tiie hen begins to move around more. .She knows that her family does not need as much heat nor do their lungs need to warm as often. Nature has provided her with the instinct that the chick's back and lungs must be protected from chill. Now, let's take a lesson from Mother Hen. First, let's place our hand or thermometer under her and against her breast, to see how warm it is. Then arrange our brooder house and brooder so that we ma take care of oiy chicks as well as she does. We will find that we need a brooder that throws or reflects heat AUTO AND PERSONAL LOANS fir See Us Personally Before Purchasing- an O Automobile.

We should never try to start chicks without a thermometer and should keep th temperature under the brooder a 95 degrees for the first ten days. Temperature in the corners or along the walls of the house may be as lov as 70 degrees, but we must have place where the chicks can warm their backs at a temperature of so I degrees for the first ten days. Dur ing the next ten days a temperature of 85 degrees is sufficient. Then gradually lower to 70-75 degree and maintain until the chicks art; feathered and out of danger of chill ing or crowding. Although maiij chicks are raised without gooa brooding arrangements, thousands and thousands die due to impropei brooding. It pays big dividends to get a good, automatically-regulateo brooder when you plan to raise chicks. Wood, coal, oil or electrn. are all good if they are automatical ly controlled and if they are placeo in a good house. Sanitation is the next in import ance. First, be sure that the house is clean before placing the chicks in it. If it is a wood or concrete floor, scrub with lye water, rinse good ana let dry. Then mop the floor witn used crank-case oil which to eacn gallon has been added one pint of carboflineum, pine oil or coal disin fectant, commonly known as creo sote, or one-half pint of carbolic a id. If you cannot get used oil, seven or eight cent fuel oil will do. Oil not only kills Bacteria but makes the floor easy to clean, as filth does not easily stick to it. Then covei the floor with your litter and covei this with paper for two or thret days until the chicks learn to eat and know the difference betweeii food and other material. We find that peat-moss, Servall Poultry Lit ter (made of crushed cane pulp) or clean Pine shavings are best to use for litter. If shavings are used be sure that all particles of sawdust are sifted out as chicks often die from packing their gizzards with it. We do not recommend dirt floor.-,, but if there is no other way out, be sure, to follow these directions. .Scrape at least two inches of the old dirt off the floor if it has had fhicks on it at any tune beforu. Brush down the walls, then soak the l'oor good with the oil mixture, us-.'ti- it upon the walls at least three ftet up from the floor. When tne )il h;.s soaked in good, add two indi es of clflan dirt that has never had a chick on it. Pack it down good ano spray lightly with oil, then add lit tor. Be sure to spade or plow the v i aroi-.ii'i the house and as close !o t!.e house as possible. The number of chicks per house 'm easily be figured by the square feet of floor space. Five chicks to every two square feet has often been recommended. I like to sell a per son all the chicks he wants, but I have found that only two chicks to the square foot is best when chicks are raised on floors. An example oi figuring the number of chicks pe house is as follows: A 10x12 house has 120 square feet of floor space. Multiply 120 by 2 chicks per square foot gives 240 chicks to a 10x12 house. Never put more than this number if the chicks cannot run out by the time they are five weeks old. If they can run on clean ground or a wire porch at five weeks then 300 chicks in this size house would be satisfactory. I have seen chicks grow wonderfully well up to fivt weeks, then, due to crowded condi tions and insufficient feed-hopper space the growth was greatly re tarded. Now. what and how shaU we feed?, Are you going to raise your chicks for broilers or are you going to keep your pullets for layers ? You must decide that question because the have to fed differently if you expect, the best success. .Let's take the broiler feeding first. Mash feed u too strong for any chicks at first it it is strong enough to grow them fast later. It takes a high protein mash for fast growth, but it is like feeding a baby beefsteak to feea mash alone to chicks the first tw weeks. If the chicks get only ma&M their delicate intestines are greatly upset and their kidneys are taxed to the limit. It will at times give an excessive white' discharge from the kidneys and often cause pasting up behind. There is enough protein in the unabsorbed egg yolk, etc., In the chick when hatched to last lor several days. Therefore, it is best to feed the chicks "orily fine gran, and very small grit for the first day. A small 'amount of good starting mash may be added the second and third, days. From then until, the are vtyvd weeks 'Hold feed them; ban grain a id half mash, mixing . the grain in t-ie mash. . After two week they may , be put entirely on a gooa broiler mash. As ' they- grow con tinue to add enough hopper space-im that at least two-thirds of the chicks can eat at the. same time. . ; ' ; Chicks started- for laying pullet Farm Picture For 1941 Has Bright rk Sides 9.

In an outlook message to Nortu Can l'na farm families, Dean I. O Schaub, director of the State Collegi Extension Service, says that the ag ricultural picture for 1941 has both a bright and a dark side. On the bright side he lists POUL TRY, with some expected increase in domestic demand; DAIRYING, with some increase expected in exports, better buying power, and a favor able feed situations HOGS, CATTLE AND SHEEP, with slaughter sup plies lower than in 1940 and a largei domestic consumer demand along with better prices to producers; and FRUITS, which face a better demand even though larger plantings genei aWy are being made. On the dark side of the picture are lisd: TOBACCO, with vital ex port markets closed and only the AAA farm program, assured for three years, as the stabilizing factoi in price; COTTON, with a world supply larger than ever, reduced for eign markets, and no change in price expected in 1941; PEANUTS, witn the price determining factor suppliea by the Government diversion pro gram although a somewhat bettei domestic demand is anticipated; and COST OF FARMING, which will be higher although somewnat offset by increased prices for the things the farmer has to sell. With these facts in mind, Dean iSchaub urged that "we set our rural house in order that we may be ready for any eventuality." He suggests that any repairs needed now about the home or farmstead should be at tended to at once. Reserves of fooo and feed should be saved; pure-brea sires should be secured to heaa" flocks and herds; and supplies of the best farm seeds should be procured. "In general," he declared, "the farm should be made ready ready for whatever may happen." THE ANSWERS 1. Athens, Greece, in 469 B. C. 2. Rachel Crothers, Susan Gea- spell, Zoe Akins. 3.

Too oftei: they are mined for layers in the first eight to ten weeks. They must l ave time to develop sound muscles, hone and intestinal systems so that they can stand the strain of hiRii production of eggs. Try this system on your pullets this year: For the first two weeks feed the same as 1 have rcommended for broilers. Then continue witli a food s'arter until they are five weeks old. Feed all the chid; .'rain they v. ant with enough Cod L'ver Oil added to make it sli-rt.y oily. At five weeks change to growing mash ami larger grain with Cod Liver Oil, feeding most of the grain as an evening feed. ' Continue until the pullets are eifrhi. to nine weeks old, then move them to a range house that is placeo on ground that chickens have not been on for at least three years. After two days in the range house they should be turned out. It is best when turning them out to start in the afternoon, letting them out for a short time and increasing the time each day until they are allowed to run all day. This will take only a few days. Keep hoppers full of whole oats all the time. Feed a good growing mash only five days a week. Feed all the grain (wheat and yellow corn preferred) they wish in the afternoons. Do not feed new oats that have not been wedl dried. GWe in water one pound of epsoin I salts to each 400 pounds of pullet weight every two weeks. This may be figured by weighing a few pullera and multiplying their average by the number of pullets in the flock.
