Some things I have learned about
raising day old chicks are: The
source of supply shold be from eggs
of a good breed and heavy laying
strain. 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

be kept before the chicks at all
times, and fresh water also..
As soon as all the chicks are

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
