that is 'worth hatching out is worth
protecting afterwards. 'Careless-
ness in this respect is the cause of
serious loss to many poultry breed-
ers who haven't the excuse Of not
knowing better.
Thoagh 'the pesky eat claims
large toll each sea,s•on, it is possitble
that the enemies .within do even
more damage. These are lice, mites
and uncleanliness in the !brooder
coops. It is mach more humane 'to
let the chides roam at large evenitf
they do fall a prey to maundering
cats than to coop them up in dirty,
pest -infested quarters.
Olean rooiny coops should be
provided for each brood of hen
hatched chicks. It is a vicious
thing to cram a, hen into a small
slatted box and all in a coop. While
it is not advisable to let the hen
wander about with her very young
chicks, 'she ahould be made as com-
fortable as possible in a roomy,
airy, dry coop with slatted front
so that the chicks may run in and
out at their own Sweet will. A
wired run should foe provided in
front 'of the coop so that the chicks
won't wander into danger. Occa-
sionelly the hen shoold be given
her freedom so that slie may duat
herself and do a bit of scratching.
Cleanliness should be the watch-
word in regard 'to the toop -and its
su rro undies. Fre fluent spraying
of the inside a ,the coop with dis-
infectant silould be practiced,
while the 'bar should be frequent-
ly cleaned. Olean earth scattered
over the floor will not only render
the dropping 'less objectionable,
but will make cleaning much more
easily done.
A wellehuilt 'coop will do service
for years; make -shifts are an eye-
sore from the starb, and cost more
through lass of chicks than would
pay for the proper article. Get the
coop,s and everything else, drinking
font's, feed troughs, etc., in shape
before the family arrive, and then
there will 'be few costly misbakes
or negligen.ces to answer for.
