(To our Readers: The Poultry Department of the Banner Is for the benefit of those interested In any way tu poultry, pigeons and pet stock. The Banner is at all times ready witling to assist the breeders in any way in the advancement of these Interests. This Department will answer questons relative to the care, management, feeding and disease of poultry, pigeons and pet Caring For Baby Chicks. Take it for granted that the chicks have been hatched in 8 perfectly healthy manner and that they are strong and vigorous when they come out of the shell. It is necessary to see that the nest is not overcrowded, that the egg shells have been removed and that the little chicks are taken from the nest before they have been tramped by the hen.
Take them to the coop where a nice little soft chaff has been prepared for them, Put the hen in the coop first, then put the chicks down a couple of feet in front of her. immediately run to her call and They are nicely covered and are at home. The next thing is how to feed them. Do not feed until they are at least for-eight hours old, but they may have plenty of clean, fresh water and a little sand or fine grit to peck at. The first few meals should be hard-boiled eggs mixed with meal in about equal proportion.
Feed a number of times a day in small quantities. After they are a few days old they may be fed bran and a good grade of cornmeal chick feed. About once a week give a little green cut bone. Milk is fine for them. The greatest mistake most people make is overfeeding.
There are fifty chicks killed by overfeeding to one killed by underfeeding. If there are many chicks crowded in one place the ground is very likely to become foul. Sprinkle a little airslacked lime over the ground. It will do wonders in keeping the place clean. Be careful about letting the chicks bechilled.
There is great danger of come this. When the hen runs at large she will take the little ones in the grass or weeds before the dew is off, or perhaps she will not cover them properly when the rain comes up. The best way is to keep the hens confined and let the chicks run at large. They will go back to her when they become Watch for lice. This is very important and must be carefully looked after.
Dust the hen thoroughly with insect powder every week. Chicks that are looked after in this way seem able to meet the little hardships of their life and grow and thrive in spite of them. It is not hard work, but it takes unceasing dillgence, time and unlimited patience. As to Fumigation, Fumigation is a means of reaching germs and insect life in the air of the room and in the cracks of the wood work. The house or room should be tightly closed and all fowls cluded during fumigation.
A simple method is to burn the sulphur candles now sold at drug stores or stores dealing poultry supplies. The fumes of brimstone may also be produced by burning in a metal basin (such as an old iron kettle) a number of old rags previously soaked in melted sulphur. Sulphur may be mixed with a little alcohol or kerosene and burned or it may be sprinkled upon live coals placed in a dish of some kind that will protect the wood work around. The house or room' should be kept closed for several hours and then opened as thoroughly as possible to allow the wind to drive out any trace of poisonous gas that may be remaining after the fumigation is over. In fumigating by burning substances be very careful and not set fire to the buliding.
Remember, also, that in most cases the substances which are used are poisonous to human life and to fowls. Carelessness in their use or in leaving them about may have dire results. If a good many of the hen houses on the farms to-day were fumigated occasionally the profits from the egg supply would be notably increased. Small Flocks. The practice of the method has demonstrated that one of the best ways to make poultry profitable is to divide them into small flocks.
Large flocks of fifty or more have occasioned a and always will, as crowding is just opposite to the needs of the fowls. It may be safely claimed that every form of disease that makes its appearance in the poultry house and among fowls is traceable to crowding. Then again, crowding is injurious in many other ways. It places the weak under the dominion of the strong. causes competition for existence, and prevents systematic breeding.
To sum up the advantages of keeping poultry in small flocks, it advocates mentioning the following: Small flocks in separate yards enable one to breed the fowls to suit the inclinations. As no two co*cks are together in the same yard, there is no warfare, and better hatches will result from the eggs. The feeding can be conformed to the requirements of each flock. The maintainance of a superfluity of co*cks should be avoided, as only the breeding yards need contain them. Should disease appear, it can be confined to the yard in which it makes its appearance, and can be more etfectually checked, There will be greater security from natural enemies of the fowls, Accounts can be kept.
with greater certainty and accuracy, Hens will lay better when but few are together. If not over ten are kept In a yard twenty by fifty feet in area, with a house about ten by ten feet square, not only will the eggs be fertile, but health and productiveness will result. Perfect cleanliness can be practiced and the fowls do not make filthy the stables, lofts and other places on the farm. The soil on which they are fined will become very rich. If trees are in the yards the fowls will do them service by ridding them of noxlous insects.
If well managed, a profit of one or two dollars or more may be expected from each hen in eggs and chicks, which has often been the case. Begin Now. Never before have conditions been more favorable to start In the poultry business, as prices, both for eggs and standard poultry, were never 80 high, and indications are they, will still go higher. Now is the time to go in the poultry business, but. if you do go in it be careful, especially 11 you are unexperienced.
Select the varlety you fancy and do not try and handle any great number until you learn something about them. If you do you will surely make a failure of the business, and can only blame yourself for failure, When the poultry have proper attention they will give large returns. Take one or more of the poultry journals or read the departmenta devoted to poultry appearing In all the large dally newspapers. They will help you not only as a beginner, but after you are better acquainted, and the poultry literature is of use at all times, as much said in most of them is from the most experienced pedple. Eggs For Among other things F.
C. McDonald has this to say, concerning eggS for setting In AL recent issue of Poultry Item: should be taken to save for nettings only the eggs from the best very great difference can be made in flock in a few seasons by the selection of the eggs for hatching. By choosing the largest eggs the fowls will be much larger In size, but there is a great probability that they will not be good. layers. The hen that lays an unusually large ex quite likely to lay only every other day.
By ting her eggs and again the next. seaRon setting the largest eggs you will develop a stream of large fowls that will Iny very large essa, but will lay only every other day or even less. On the other hand if you set the eggs from the hens that. as pullets, laid during the first fall and winter, and continue tov set eggs from such hens, you will develop a strain of early winter layers. The eggs for setting should be from year-old hens, as the chicks will be larger and stronger than those from pullet eggs.
It is best to mate co*ckerels instead of co*cks with these hens, as the eggs are more apt to be fertile and there will be a larger percentage of pullets. the medium size, well-shaped eggs and be sure the shell is firm and strong. A weak shell is sure to be itself broken and besides the loss of the egg will likely ruin several of the other eggs in the nest and may even teach the hen to break them and eat them. Feed the hens a little unslacked lime in the mash to give the egg 8. good, strong shell.
Be sure the lime is well slacked and give two tablespoonfuls to 100 hens every day, Do not force the breeding stock for egg whole production. Feed them mostly grain, wheat, oats, corn and barley. Let the mash be a light feed and give them fresh, sweet meat scraps twice a week and all the milk they want. Feed plenty of green food unless the fowls have range where they can find it for themselves. Keep them supplied with clean drinking water and have charcoal grit, oyster shell and dry bone always before them.
Don't forget a little salt in the mash. It should always be salted as much as the same quality of food would be for the table. The hens must be made to exercise by scratching for their grain in the litter. They must be healthy and in good condition if you expect to raise strong, healthy chicks." DR.
