BABY CHICK TROUBLES HINTS FOR PREVENTION Clemsonfi College, March 30.—Baby chick troubles come every year during tire brooding season and hints along these lines wi,'! ten' 1 dto ward off a {good many, thinks N.

A temperature of about 100 i degrees should be maintnined for a J few days. When eh’cks become cold j they will crowd together, and wa 1 roust avo d this condition. A-iso the i room about the brooder should be j large enougn so that the chicks can .move away from the heat If it gets too warm. • TimmonsvLUe, March 30, (Special,* j—Little Billy McLeod, three-year-old J son of Dr. and Mrs. W.
