F acto rs in keeping p o u ltry free
from disease.
An h o u r sp en t in p lan n in g now
will undoubtedly save m any a day 's
w ork la te r in th e spring. Days of
labor, and then fin d in g th a t th e
build in g or yard is not satisfacto ry ,
cut huge sh ares out of th e profits.
The days of labor done personally
by th e p o u ltry m an mean an added
source of income, in preference to
w aitin g u n til building Is needed and
then e n ta il the cost of a large crew
for rush work.
So build your brooder houses now
m d set up your stoves. Know th a t
you a re ready for the chix a t least
ten days before your delivery date.
Rem em ber good chicks are not raised
by good resolutions, b u t by lots of
preparedness and good m anagem ent.
Now is th e Ideal tim e to build
your new brooder -house o r rem odel
your old one. If th e old house fell
l o w n on your ex pectations la s t y ear
rem odel it. Allow p len ty of v e n tila ­
tion and su n lig h t to p e n e tra te to
ill p a rts of the room. We have
ound by p ain tin g our w indow s on

lot allow sun Bpots In the room,
which Is th e d irect cause of toe-
nicking. H ave your brooder house
tig h t on th re e sides w ith a ll openings
m south side. He sure and place
your brooder houses on skids so they
an be moved from ra n g e to range.
B rooder chix c a n n o t 8,'irive un-
ess the houses are sprayed w ell be-
ore the chicks a re placed in broodeT
tnd betw eon brooder lots and th e
louses k ept clean. D rugs do not
uake good chix. Y our only doctor
w ith clilx should be th e w ill to creek

ste d s” of m ost chick diseases are In
he house, or on the ground aro u n d
he house. T he only way to com bat
hese Is to move your buildings from
yard to yard, using about a fo u r y ear
y a rd in g system , and, as I said before.
keep th e b u ild in g clean.
T he w alls, celling and floor of th e
b u ild in g should be sw ept and scru b b ­

w ater. The
m a te ria l rem oved should be sw ept
into a box or c a rrie r of some kind
and bu rn ed . W hen every p a rticle of
d u st and d ir t is rem oved, then one
should use a stro n g spray d isin fect­
a n t th o ro u g h ly . A th in p a in t on
the floor w ould serve to seal th e
germ s in to th e crack s an d crevices
of th e floor. If th e job h as been
done w ell, th e disease germ s th a t
have n o t been killed, w ill be sealed
in to th e b u ilding.
And th en comes th e yard. T his Is
