If you cannot move the brooder house onto clean ground, bring in some new soil and fill in around your' brooder house for at least 20 feet with about four inches of good clean ground. This ineuns ground that has not been used for poultry and has been free from poultry manure for the past two years. Brush down the side walls and tellings. Thoroughly dry-clean the house, removing dirt and litter, and then scrub with hot water and a good high power coaltar disinfectant, using as directed on can. -See that the brooder house roof does not )eak and that the sides of the house are tight so that the house can be kept warm, #ave the brooder stove set up and running for at least three days before chicks are to be put in and regulate to a temperature ofabout 95 degrees at the edge of the hover, 2 inches off the floor. I rovide a one-half inch of litter. V\e suggest either coarse sand, cut straw, or commercial peat litter mixed with oat hulls. Provide ons or t\yo quart or half-gallon jar water fountains for each 50 chicks. Have enough wire, rubber roofing, or heavy cardboard 12 inches high to !orm <*i circle around the stove, leaving a flpace of about 18 inches between the hover and the stove. Cover this space inside the inclosure with clean feed sacks. ~ AH this ought to bo taken care of well in advance of the arrival of J the chicks and it will pay you well ... 11Flee?i,,K and Early Care Well before the baby chicks arrive you will have got the brooder room agoing and everything in readiness. | After receiving your chicks you want to hold them under the brooder until they are about 72 hours old, during which time the windows want to be darkened so that they won't go I tp picking each other's toes and thus bring on a serious outbreak of canI mbalism. I know there is always a temptation to treat the little fellows to their first feed before the 72 hours have passed, but this must be carefully avoided because a portion of the yolk of the egg from which they are hatched is still intact in their un?' developed intestines until thia tiros, And feeding before this time - trill almost always bring on bowel trouble. The first day's training and I nourishment means more to the chick than most of us realise. A definite call should be started by the caretaker and a first drink of warm water offered at the age of 72 hours, and it must be seen to that every single chick gets his drink at this time Then comes the first feed, which should consist of a good chick starter I mash. Many good commercial mashes are available or a very satisfactory one may be mixed at home by the following formula: 80 pounds of yellow corn meal, 15 pounds of bran, 5 pounds of low grade flour, 5 pounds of ground bone meal, 5 pounds of J granite or pearl grit, or clean coarse I sand, 1 pound of salt, 30 pounds^of powdered skim milk. In the event the powdered skim milk is not readily available, it can be omitted from the mash and sour skim milk or buttermilk fed in liquid form in place of the water during the morning. In Iwhatever fom the milk is supplied, J it should always b? supplied in ex|actljr-$fc*t same form throughout the J life of the bird, unless the change is made gradually. Switching back and Iforth must never be allowed. , TfcVftS8*1 is to he sprinkled dry (upon a Board trap or papen;, plate, a' [1 inch board about 1 by 2 feet, with Hath taoked all around the edges to prevent the chicks from piling. This is the only food the chicks need the first week. Keep it before them all the timer Good fresh^water with tho chill taken off should also be kept before them all th# time unless the powdered milk is omitted from the mash, in which case as suggested above, the liquid sour skim or buttermilk should be substituted for the I water in the forenoon. Throughout the first week the brooder temperature should be kept to an even temperature of 96 degrees under the hover, 2 inches off the floor, and about the fifth day the I circle around the hover should be enjlarged as by that time the chicks I know the-source of heat and will want more exercise." : Twins Have Birthday J On last Saturday evening Henry and Billy Shannon, the attractive twin boys of Mr. and Mrs. ?.

Hastening Road Work The work of paving the upper end of the Kershaw to Camden highway is proceeding rapidly, Beginning at the upper end of the Maaaey peach orchard, where paving was Completed some weeks ago, the paving is being continued northward, and our information is, that, when Fifty-Six is reached, the paving crew will be moved to the town of Kershaw to begin at the Kershaw county line an I proceed southward to connect where | they left .off, and that the removal will probably take place next week. The force engaged in removing obstructions and grading the roadbed are also making rapid progress. They are at work just a short distance south of town.
