Gooding says, illustrating the imB>rtanco of care in brooding. The 10 ! Brmers losing the smallest number B chicks for the four years, an aver1 Be mortality of only 5J5 per cent, Ba(h* a ne^ Pr?Ht of $2.72 per hen. Bie 10 farmers losing the largest Bniber of chicks, a mortality of 43 Br cent,-made a net income of only B.57,Per heii^which is $1.15 less per. ? than was made by the low mofBhty group. It seems useless ar>4'. wasteful, Berefore, to pay high prices for high Bade chicks if they are not to be Ben good care during the brooding B>'i?d. and good rations and comfort , surroundings during t/he growing ^^Briod. Ha 10x12 brooder house and a brick oodcr will eliminate much, of the Brry connected with chick raising Bd an all-mash ration will greatly Bplify the feeding. If the brooder ^BU50 *s built on runners it can be B)ved to clean ground at the start I the brooding season. This will ^Hc\ent the great losses caused by Biases and internal parasites which ; carried over from year to year in ^Be soil. Another suggestion is to sweep the ^Booder house carefully before mov^ B it and scrub it with lye water? Be can of lye to 15 gallons of water. ^ :M r. Gooding calls attention to Ex!
