Will con —N Webb ’ ONION MIXTURE GOOD FOR BABY CHICKENS Rowel trouble in little chickens causes worry and loss to many who raise poultry. It occurs rather fre quently and is baffling at times. As usually happens, it is better to prevent the disease than to cure it. The ideas of Dr. J. Culver Hart zell. as set forth in the current Is sue of The Poultry Review, are here given: Bow'el trouble is a fearful destroyer of chicks, and sometimes appears even though their parents have been properly fed. This ‘rouble very often can he traced back to the parent stock; but nevertheless it will appear in the chicks when not properly handled. K To correct any tendency to this trouble, the proper use of proper food and water Is of great importance. Last season we had trouble with diar rhea among our baby chicks. After care ful study of our breeders, correspondence with authorities on the subject, and. a diagnosis and prognosis of the disease, we went to work on our mature fowls, but we could not hope for immediate results in the offspring. Hence we made a care ful dietary study of our chicks with ref erence to the diesase In question. With out going into details as to our method of procedure. It Is enough to say that we corrected the evil in a large measure. Do not forget that, while we were study ing our chicks, we were studying our breeders. This season we have had no trouble with diarrhea, but experiment has shown the disease can be brought on readily. \Ve think we have done away with a pre disposition to the disease, and we think we have a method of preventing the con traction of the disease. On the floor of the little play room, which Is atached to the brooder hatcher, we put fine litter, and over this dry wheat bran. Little chicks peCk at any thing they see. and this is frequently mis taken for hunger: but the fact is they do not always eat what they pick up. How ever, should they eat the bran, no harm Is done. On the contrary, it is good for them. Not until the third day do we give DO NOT CODDLE YOUR FLOCK OF CHICKENS July is the month in which to make chickens grow. They must now have attained some size if hatched in Aprfl and May, and they must be kept grow ing, above all things. Chicks with hens should be given all the range possible and plenty of cracked corn, w'heat and oats. These three grains will make frame, bone, muscle and flesh; in fact, they consti tute building food. A mash in the morning is excellent. When chicks have reached a certain size, about half broiler age. they can safely be sepa rated from the hen and cooped by them selves. They will thrive better w'ithout the heat which the hen imparts. Incubated chicks should not be kept too long in the brooders and subject to artificial heat. The weather is suf ficiently warm for them to be cooped apart and treated more freely. The ar tificial heat of the brooders will stunt them and retard their grow th amazing ly. Chicks raised thus artificially are too often coddled and hence spoiled. Young chicks are not necessarily del. ADVICE FOR RAISERS OF POULTRY Now is a grand time to pick up good breeding stock cheap. Breeders ate getting rid of theii surplus.

SATURDAY, JULY 20. 1912. them food (aside from the bran). On the third day we give them an onion mix ture. morning, noon and night. This is fed until they are three weeks old From the fourth day on we give baby chick food in the forenoon and afternoon. Not a drop of waler, as such % do they get until the fourth day. The moisture they get from the onion mixture is quite sufficient. On the fourth and fifth days we give a little water in the forenoon and after noon. Not until the sixth day do we give them free access to water. Space will not permit me to go into the physiological reasons for using an onion mixture and for using so little w’ater the .first five days. Suffice it to say that we have no trouble from baby chick diar rhea. This onion mixture is made as fol lows; We grind a large onion op two or three small onions in a food chopper. Then we grind six hard-boiled eggs, shell and all. The onion and eggs are ground’ into a two-quart receptacle. Next, we grind, in the same machine, enough dry w'heat bread to fill the receptacle, thus making a mixture of two quarts. These three ingredients are thoroughly mixed togeth er, and then a tablespoonful of baby grit and a tablespoonful of fine charcoal are added and the whole thoroughly mixed again. No water, no milk, "no nothing" is added. The mixture is moist enough and contains all the moisture the chick needs until water, as such, is supplied on the fourth day. In preparing the mixture the following directions are observed: The bread is thoroughly dried. The onion must be thoroughly sound, and the hsuk must be removed. For eggs, we use clear ones tested out of the incu bators. These are boiled ten minutes. The grit is finely crushed and sifted gran ite, and our charcoal is fine, hygienic, granulated charcoal. The mxiture is made fresh every day. and in quantity according to the number of chicks we have to feed. We feel that with this mixture we have overcome a great difficulty. ileate because they are small; on the contrary, they are quite hardy, but are made tender and delicate by the same coddling process. If common sense were more frequently brought Into play, there would be less complaint of poor success in raising chicks artificially. There can be no set rules for raising chickens after they reach a growing size. Give them freedom, feed strong, growing food at regular Intervals and have plenty of fresh water accessible, and they will grow fast and develop accordingly. There are other important matters which need attention during July. The old stock should be carefully gone over. The healthy specimens should be placed by themselves and the culls sold alive, or dressed for market. If the breeding season is over, as it is with many, the males should be separated from the fe males, each penned separatly. This will males, each penned separately. This will prepare them both better for the moulting period which is approaching. Give the laying hens free range of the fields, pastures or orchards. It was Gladstone who said: "In all Gori's creation there is no place ap pointed for the idle man " This ap plies a little more strongly to the poul try business than anywhere else. Sciub liens are just about as likely to produce profits as scrub men are to do good work. Get the best or don't get any. Buff Cochins are being boomed now Their promoters claim for them that they will not fly over a two-foot feme, that they lay well and that they grow up into real birds that furnish a squat '' meal. Begin getting ready now to exhibit AOmSEfflT!) ON WRONG TRACK Too Little Originality and Too Much Borrowing Among the Poultry Breeders. By J. LYMAN KELLY. ‘ The lack of originality in the advertis ing and literature of poultrymen Is de pressing. They have apparently contract ed the Ijorrowlng habit. This not only in cludes the adoption of one’s Ideas by the other, but also the indiscriminate use of cuts and illustrations. A large per centage of the breeders have the habit and to me it looks like a serious evil and one that appears to be growing rapidly. We will not tolerate the fancier who borrows birds. Why stand by and let this state of affairs pass unnoticed? I have on my table at this writing, the circulars, catalogues and mating lists of over one hundred breeders and out of the whole number I find but a scant half dozen that have not borrowed in some respect. There is an utter lack of origi nality in the lot outside of this few. Some are works of real art, typographically and printing above average, others are mar vels "of the amateur press. All show one glaring defect. They are borrowed. A breeder can purchase stock cuts from en graving houses at a low price, and, by the print of the press, they have been well patronized. Many of these cuts are good type, hardly any, however, are more than drawings or perhaps sometimes many have been photographs, but the artist’s brush or pencil have finished the product. Why not carry this illustrative Idea further and get small cuts of Wash ington and Lincoln and publish them as being emblematic of your character and honesty, for all you can claim of the others, and claim honestly, is that they represent something- something that you did not produce- and do not have in your yards? You simply have borrowed what? type perhaps, nothing more. You certainly have not the originals por trayed. for dozens of others show the same copyrighted cuts and holler as loud over them as you do. They were all made from the same master cuts, all sold at same price, all borrowed. I am sorry to he obliged to state that one really reputable breeder, under one of these copyrighted electros, prints the names of two of his leading birds, and strives to convey the idea that the picture represents them. This same cut bearing copyright, and name of maker, is used from ocean to ocean. Are they all his? or are they all borrowed? Another evil a growing one that comes under this same head, is the ad vertising of show records, giving name of show, but not giving any dates, striv ing to convey the idea that their birds carried off honors at the last shows. 1 have taken pains to look up several of these non-dated claims and in many cases find that these birds were not even en tered for from two to five years past at these shows where these winnings are given.
