V FEED HOPPER FOR DRY MASH Device May Be Made of Any Site to Suit Flock-Slanting Top Keeps Fowls From Roosting. I find this to be a very good feed hopper for dry mashes. The dimen sions given are those of my hopper, but it may be made in any size to suit the size of your flock, writes .Mrs. Leo Hopper for Mash or Grit. H. Johnson of Langsville, 0., in Farm ers Mail and Breeze. It may also be made into two cr more compart ments by putting in partitions and so feed shelis, dry mash, grit. etc.. at the same time. Notice that it has a slant ing top. By setting it against the wall the chickens cannot roost on it. It also has a slanting bottom which makes the contents work to the front. LEARN TO FEED PROFITABLY Most Difficult Period in Feeding Starts With Baby Chicks-Good Mixture for Dry Mash. Profitable feeding is something 6very farmer and poultryman must learn. Without it the most vigorous chicks that were ever hatched could not develop into standard, mature birds. The most difficult period in feeding starts with ';he baby chicks. If stunted when small, it is "runty" forever; if fed and cared for properly when young it can rustle for itself to a limited extent later. The baby chick should never be fed until forty-eight hours old, and then a mash of coarse bran and charcoal mixed with hard-boiled eggs is all it will need for two or three days. After the first few days it may be fed mixed grain five times daily, and the mash of bran and eggs three times daily. A good chick ration may be had by mix ing ten pounds cracked wheat, ten pounds cracked corn (sifted) and ten pounds, "steel cut" oats. The dry mash is made up of ten pounds bran, ten pounds shorts, five pounds corn meal, Sve pounds meat scraps and two and one-half pounds charcoal. Feed sour milk if available, giving chicks all they will consume. ROOSTS MADE VERMINPROOF Gas Pipes Used for Supports, Instead of Wooden Timbers, Aids in Keep ing Parasites Away. One of the largest poultrymen uses gas pipes instead of the usual wooden fixtures to support his roosts, and thus makes them almost entirely free from mites and other parasites which are so troublesome to poultry raisers. The pipe is bent as shown in the illus tration and to hold the roosts in Gas Pipes Support Roosts. place holes are bored at proper inter vals, through which bolts are inserted, I projecting far enough above the pipe ! to hold the roosts in position. The j roosts ure made as usual and are laid j on the pipe without fastening, thus making it easy to remove them for ? cleaning, etc. The pipen need not be! over three-fourths of an inch in diam- j eter, and will be found to be one oi j the mo -t satisfactory supports foz roosts yet devised. MAKING MONEY FROM SQUABS! Little Chance for Profit With Pigeons Unless Birds Are Kept Free From Insect Parasites. There is very little chance of mak ing money from squabs unless through cleanliness pigeons can be kept com paratively free from disease and in sect parasites. The stock should be carefully watched and any sick birds removed from the breeding pena. The house should be kept dry, clean, weil ventilated, and free from drafts. The yards should be kept clean either by scraping the surface and adding fresh sand or gravel or by cultivating the land and planting it to grain if pos sible. Only good, sound grain should be fed. Lower Fcwls Vigor. . With the general exception of well cared-fcr, open-range flocks, the condi tions under which practically all iowls are ker*, result in a constant ten dency toward the lowering of the birds constitutional vigor.
