That tIn* Importance of the brooder
In rearing large number* of Incubator
chirk* cannot be overestimated, 1* the
opinion of N. L. llnrrl*. *uperlnten<leut
o f the Kansn* Slate Agrlrulturul col­
lege poultry fnnn.
“ Some artlflclnl nienna of brooding
chirk* inuHt be provided when Incuba­
tor chirk* hatch In cool or cold weath­

profitable to u*e either the Incubator
brooder, but where large number* of
chicken* are handled the hrmaler be­
come* a matter of convenience.
"Keeping chick* In large flock* mini­
mize* the labor and reduces the cost
o f houses and yard*. Where hen* are
used for brooders In cold weather only
n few chick* can he given to each
hen. Thl* require* n large number of
coop* and the attendant 1* compelled

tention a* would be r«*qulred for one
large flock cared for by the brooder."
A large percentage of the hen brood­
ed chick* «offer from the effects of
hend lice, Mr. Harris pointed out.
These not only are bothersome to the
newly hatched chick, but coutluue to
he a miurce o f trouble through the en­
tire H enson.
Where hens are not available and
only a few chicks are to bo raised It I*
possible to construct u homemude
brooder. These unually require con­
siderably more attention than those on
the market but will give fulrly good re­
sults.
The most common method of heat­
ing these homeninde brooders Is by
means o f a Jug o f hot water. A box
which contains sufficient room for from
fiO to 100 chicks and which Is tight on
nil sides excepting the front. Is the
first requirement.
Soino method of
ventilation should he provided on the
top o f the box. A two gallon Jug of
hot water furnishes the heating plant.
The Jug should be wrapped In burlnp
to protect the chicks and aid In retain­
ing the heat. This brooder will keep
a limited number o f rhteks perfectly
comfortable.

WHY HATCH EARLY.
( P r e p a r e d b y th e U n ite d S t a t e s D e ­
p a r tm e n t o f A g r ic u ltu r e .)
Chickens hatched early In the
spring are large In the summer,
mature early In the fall, and lay
eggs In the winter. They will
sit early the following spring,
produce earlier chickens— and
the process will be repeated by
the offspring.
But the chickens hatched late
In the spring will not mature un­
til late In the fa ll— so late that
they will not lay In the winter.
They w ill not sit until late In
the following spring—and again
the process wrlll be repeated.
The Jury finds that the argu­
ment Is all In favor o f early
hatching— especially this year.
