Preparation for the Chicks
I / fin ? ?' migration
jor millions upon milltona of little
|chirping baby chicks from the maml
moth scientific "mother" incubatory bl
today's commercial hatcheries to the
tarm where they have their lives yet
to live out in terms of profits, gteater
or less.
1 hat the profits may be greater
lather than less, there are several
things above all others should be at-!
leaded to in advance of their arrival.
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."

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. The Kershaw Lumber
Company is moving the front extension
of its plant, its yffice and
such materials as are necessary to
clear the way, all these being carried
bo the back. The rails are already
there for the spur track to be run to
the hack of ?he plant, where the products
of the plant will be loaded in
the future, instead of at the front as
was formerly done.
Appearance ure now, that, with
favoruble weather for work, it will
be a matter of a comparatively few
weeks only, when the paved road will
be ready for through travel from the
Marion street crossing in the town
of Kershaw into the heart of the city
I of Columbia.? Kershaw Era.
