DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL. IVH'GLASVILLE, GEORGIA IIYE POULTRY NOTES I TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS Remove Unhealthy Chicks And Pay Close Attention To Sanitation Since chickens, if forced to, can take care of themselves on the farm at this time of the year, the growing stuck ds often neglected. However, guod care should be given especially ai this time. When the chicks are about six weeks old a mixture of one part oats and two parts cracked corn can be substi tuted for the chick feed. Dry i\ ash, sour milk and fresh water should al ways be kept before them. Plenty or shade and an abundauce of green teed , will do much toward keeping the chicks in a healthy condition. Crowding in hot, poorly ventilated ' houses at night will reduce any gum a chick may make on the range during i the day. An indication of crowding is ! the dying of chicks one at a time and a poor, thin, droopy condition. There should be 4 chicks to the square foot of floor space in the colony house, and they should be taught to roost while young by putting the roost about II inches above the floor. Separating the sexes as soon as pos sible will make the pullets grow* much faster, prevent crowding and reduce the cost of raising. The male birds that are not wanted for breeding pur poses should either be confined to a small pen for fattening or they should be caponlzed. Instructions for capon- iizing may be secured by writing the Poultry Department of the State Col lege of Agriculture. Cleanliness in caring for chicks can not be emphasized too much. Wet, floppy mashes or mouldy feeds should not be used. The dish in which the sour milk is fed should be washed at least once a day and care should be taken that, the milk has not become mouldy. Clean water is very essential to the health of chicks since it acts as a tonic. The body contains about G5 *)er cent water. All chicks with lim her neck, colds, sorehead or chicken pox should be removed from the flock as soon as possible. To clean chicken houses spray with a solution t>f one part of crude car bolic acid to three parts of kerosens oil. Another spray of one hundred parts whitewash to one part crude carbolic acid i3 perhaps even bettor. When crude carbolic acid cannot be obtained either creosote or spme good etock dip can fc« substituted. At this time many hens have stop ped laying on account of old age, lack of proper food or moultiness. These birds should either be killed or sold and especially those over three years old showing the above symptoms. Prop er feeding will do as much as any other one thing to start the flock lay ing early In the fall. Rape may be planted in September or October to furnish green • feed for chickens throughout the winter.—(W. H. Alien, State College of Agriculture.) Raise liabbits for Men, Atlanta. Ga., November 29.
