CARE FOR LITTLE CHICKENS Do Not Worry Mother Hen by Inter ference-Feed Bread Crumbs When 48 Hours Old. When the e;:c:s begin to pip, do not worry the hen by interference, but let her severely alone till the chicks ure all out and dry. Then remove to a dry roomy coop which should be rat and skunk proof. If you can have a small ruuway attached to the south side, enclosed by wire netting, so much the better. The hen should be kept confined for a few days, allowing the chicks to run in and out at will. Lo not be in a hurry to feed the little fellows, but scatter some coarse sand or chick size grit in the chaff or litter that you put on the floor of their coop. They will pick at this and begin to learn to scratch for them selves. When 4S hours old. give some dry bread crumbs or hard-boiled egg. Feed, often, but sparingly the first few days. Vary the food given, usiny rolled oats, cornbread, curd and stale light bread ground fine, or soaked in milk and squeezed dry. Keep grit, charcoal and clean drink ing water always before them. Feed the hen first and the chick feed will last longer. After the chicks are two weeks cid turn the old hen loose with "them to go where she will, always see ing that they are securely cooped for the night. At this age three feedings a day are sufficient Tracked corn, kallir and wheat is a very good diet, in addition to what they pick up.

Before the turkeys are made ready for mar ket make choice of the turkeys you expect to keep over for breeding pur poses and choose your very best. Place these somewhere away from the rest, and while you keep them iu fine con dition by feeding corn, wheat and oats, the latter, if boiled, forming a healthy ration for turkeys, do not seek to Choice Gobbler. lay on the fat you want ou the mar ket turkeys. This is why stock tur keys often die in the winter, simply because they were fattened until the liver broke doun and became diseased because of its own fat.
