M m,rnu 1.,|| I .. iii^I/ ' > Sanitary Poultry Nest. ) The present day teudency to em oy sanitary measures in the dairy, e stable, the doghouse, etc.. has at v; st extended to the poultry yard. The jj dustrious hen is to be provided ith a sanitary nest, which can be ri ndily washed and scrubbed as occa- for >n demands. This recent develop- <-it> pnt Is shown In the accompanying j ' ustratlon. The nest Is made of re and Is supported In a suitable 1<,a Inn ret Easily Cleaned. ? Yo tuslng, both of which can be reoved from the chicken house when eaning is necessary. When thus ('r< moved they can be conveniently w" aced in a suitable receptacle con- n"' lnlng boiling water and thoroughly '':|1 ?ansed of all Impurities and unde- 'I" rable insects. 1 Care of Little Chicks. pri Quite an argument has been going 4|1( e rounds as to the length of time uri at should elapse before giving food newly hatched chicks, some regardg twenty-four hours as time enough ^ | (fore feeding, others that to feed hen two and a half days old was .. on enough. No doubt but that more chicks are ^ lied, or stunted from feeding too j)(> on, than are hurt by a longer fast, ate the healthiness of chicks when hen steals her nest, and is not disvered until the chicks are several ? iys old. Strong, healthy chicks, hatched In y, warm weather, will require food ^' oner than puny ones hatched in a 1 imp, cool time, because the first l\1 lcks will grow much faster. Make |" is an iron clad rule: Never feed 1,1 oner than twenty-four hours after itching, and let the first feed by dry ar ead crumbs or oat meal sprinkled (J1 sharp sand. Also let the bulk of <n e first few meals be of sharp sand. :,~ Give water that has the chill taken 1" f, for several days after hatching. Wi lis is not necessary in mid-day of e summer, but is a good rule for tie chicks, of a morning, no matter l,: tiat the month. a?i Have water vessels clean, and so ranged that the little chicks cannot rii t Into them. M A teacup filled with water, then tli verted in a saucer, makes a fine ea untain, that is easily kept clean, al here there is a small flock of chicks, til quart can is almost as good. If m e water does not run out fast in lough, place a nail under the edge of cud or can. House the chicks In a weather oof coop, with enough clean dry ter and a good mother. Do not put of] ore than two dozen chicks with one of n. t y If bowel trouble appears, dissolve tli ne in water, pour the water off lie refully, and stir corn meal in the Ai ne water until it crumbles. The gr ne water should be strong enough pi make the mass to look as if lye si, ,d been poured on it. They will not pi lish this, but if given no other feed tli 11 eat it. Do not allow other food (.a .til they are recovered. Rice cooked ]?> nder and fed dry is good for bowel iuble in fowls of any age. If chicks are not allowed to get ^ illed or wet from rain or dew, fed tiolesome food, kept a little hungry I the time, never allowed to have K ly but wholesome water and milk af drink, have sizable grit, and are ha fpt free from lice, there will be no nl twel trouble.
