Who Is Authority In This Line of Work. (By Mrs. Will Rhodes) The following Is a summary show ing results obtained from 600 day old White Leghorn chicks from April 11, 1924, to Dec. 31, 1924.

The chicks should arrive on the farm from the first to the fif teenth of April. This Is more llke- 'y to assure winter layers. On ar- ’•Ival of the chicks the brooder house should be warmed up to 95 degrees it the hover edge. The brooder house should be kept sweet and ch an A layer of sand three to four Inches ieep should be spread ovr the floor and on top of that straw or alfalfa leaves not too thickly, so the chtcka can scratch It around easily. Chtcka will begin to scratch for their feed on the third day, and they should be made to scratch for their feed continuously from then on. The flrBt feed on arrival should ?e »our skimmed milk qr bsUU*r- inllk. I see that eah chick gets * drink of sour milk when taken out of the shipping box. Milk should be kept before the chicks at all times, and fresh water also.. As soon as all the chicks are around the hover, the second feed ■onsisting of one ounce baby chick rood to every 100 chicks should be mattered around the hover so that all get achance to pick at It. Also scatter the same amount of fine grit around the hover. The third feed, consisting of one ounce rolled oats, dry and unco iked, for each 100 chicks should be giv en two hours after the second. Alternate the last two feeds at two hour periods during the flist day. It is very Important that the grain should be fed last at nlgbt. During the second day the chicks should he fed the same kinds of feed and at the same periods of time as in the first day, except that ths feeds should be increased to one and a half ounces per 100 chicks. On the third day the chickg should be fed as on the seond day, only with i further Increase In the quantPy of chick feed and rolled oats. Let the appetite of the chicks be your guide. If they seem eager for grain, In crease a little. If they show no eagerness for grain, lessen ths amount. I should advlHe feeding at two hour periods for a week, after which the time between feeds should ba extended. On the third day. In addition to the regular fped, bran or baby chick mash should be placed before them at noon, for about one hour. On the next day two hours before re moving. nnd so on gradually Increas ing until it Is before them i>’i the lim e . Feed th«> bran or mash In hallow pans. At this time fill the hoppefg wlht chick sized grit and charcoal, nnd keep them open before checks from them on. Increase the depth of litter and scatter the grain In It so that lhllks will be kept busy slratchlng for ths feed. On the fourth or fifth day. If the weather is fine, the chlckg may ba let out for an hour. It'Is very lm- nortant however that they do not be allowed to stay out until chilled, Hneh tT- Increase the time allowed out till they get used to the outside nlr, th<m keen them In the freeh sir as much ns possible. See that milk nnd water fountain« are kept clean and well supplied, and clean out the litter often. The recipe for the eh Irk mash Is equal parts hy weight of bran, shorts and corn meal. Add 10 per cent meat scraps to mash If milk Is not
