Chlrka that die before they are two daya old are uaually weakling, which could not be aated easily. They prob ably coma from egise that bad too bard a ahell or else from egga laid by dla eaaed bru. write a vorrsudeot of the Amerlrau Agriculturist. The rem eily la proper care of the breeding flock from which the egga for hatching are gathered. l''roni the time the chick are forty-eight hour until a month old It reeta largely with the poultry ralaer aa to bow many of the i uicke will die. In Iny experience I have found tbat poor location of linxHlopi or irna and overfeeding are nt the bottom of moat of the trouble. Formerly I selcrtd eonie grassy sst In. I lie yard.

Kvery day I no ticed a few which mood shivering In the corner of the brooder, looking as though they atootl on stilts. In a ahort tlnio they died. Now, a soon aa the Kilting la hutched 1 I take the chlcka to a dry, bare plot of ground. There la a fence to the north oo that all wnrmtlt of the aun may be obtained without bringing In the wind. whiii loaniait cocKian.

In order to cure troubles of the dtgee tlve tract, eucn aa white diarrhea, 1 feed the cblcka ouly enougb to keep tbom healthy. Overfeeding can be no ticed at ouce, for tba cblcka will lie down a large part of the lime. A healthy chick will alwaya acreinble Into the thick of tba crowd when food la offered. The food ahould be bard that la, It ahould not be the kind to awell or become oggy before thorough ly digested. Occasionally a drink of our milk will be beneficial, aa tba lac tic acid In aour milk attacks the organ lam which cauaea white diarrhea.

In uilte Infoteil Hint the" ben. If fast ened lu. will often lie found standing over rather than lttitig on the egg. Many egg that are laid In the lute winter and curly spring are Infertile. For thla reason It la advisable to eet several ben at the same time. After the tgga have beeu under the bona from tlve to hcvcu daya, Ibe time depending somewhat on the color and tblcknc of the shells white' shelled egga being easier to teat than thoae having brown ahella they ahould be tested, the Infertile egga and dead genua removed, aud the fertile egga put back under the ben. In thla way It la often possible to put all the egga that acveral bene origi nally atarted to alt on under fewer beua and reset the others. For ex ample, thirty eggs are set under three hem at tb aame time, ten under each. At the end of seven days we Ond on tenting the eggs from all tbe hens that ten aro Infertile, which leave ua twen ty eggs to reset, which we do by pot ting tbem under two bens and bare tbe remaining ben alt over again after she has sat only aeven days. In tbla way couaiderable time cun be aaved In one's hatching operation. POULTRY NEEDS RANGE. Hens Keep Thrifty and Predue Mere Egg In Outalde Yard. Sluce bene on range produce more egg at lower coat and fewer young hens die than do those kept In con finement tbe Ohio experiment station urges poultrymcu to provide outalde yarda with plenty of green feed for lay ing beua. The annual value per acre of rang for laying bena waa found to. be from $10 to $31, even though aome other live stock waa also pastured In tbe blue grass pasture with the chicken. Three experiments. were conducted by tbe experiment station to determine whether hens need rang for beat re sult lu egg production, on lasting a year, on two year and tb third near ly two year aud a half. From the teata It waa found that during tb first two or three year mor beua are likely to die If kept In restricted quarter, and tb hen on rang produced ID to 44 per cent mor,gg at.a feed cost of 10 to 80 per ceut leas per doaen than bens kept In confinement Tb differ ence between coat of feed and value of egg was from 27 to 71 percent higher for tbe range lot than for the confined lot.
