LOOKING -AFTER YOUNG. CHICKS Plenty of Shade and .Goc td Wholesot'ne Food Glve Best. Results Green food is absolutely essential during: the growing period. It can be most economically supplied by grow- ing it directly upon the range. Where the chicks are crowded on small areas, considerable expense must be incur- red in supplying it from an outside source in the form of cabbage, grass- , clippings or sprouted grains, says liar- ry Lewis of New Jersey College of Agriculture, in Suburban Life. A range which can be kept seeded to, a permanent sod Is the best; but, where the birds are such kept fn numbers err b ■ a to the ' y, t e grass, It Will be found desirable to divide the area into two plots, and rotate them by alternat- ing the areas asci raising'quick-grow- ing, eucouy'ent crops, such :as peal and oats, rape, buckwheat, millet, and, during tiie winter, as a catch or cover crop, rye, wheat, vetch and crimson clover,isingly or in combination. The birds can then eat the succulence direetly off the root, and the plowing and seeding purify the runs and utilize the manure to grow the crop. An abundance of shade is necessary for a normal, healthy development. Natural shade is the most desirable; where it cannot be secured; artificial shelters must be constructed. Mus- lin frames, set at au angle to pre. vent birds roosting on them, are efficient. A rough shelter of bushes or boughs, elevated from the ground about two feet, by laying on crotched sticks, will answer very well. The most desirable shade fa that given by a growing plant. It is much cooler, due to the large amount of moisture given off. An ideal practice is to plant the range in fruit trees—peaches, plums or apples being desirable. When trees are not present, or while thy are making a sufficient growth, It will be found profitable to plant such crops as corn, sunflowers and soja beans between the rows, The summer colony or developing houses should provide three features —namely, fresh air, sufficient size, and must be easily moved, or portable. They should be portable to facilitate moving them from place to place cur- ing succeeding seasons as the range Is changed, or, as is often the case, it is desired to use them for small rthewinter. The u laying flocks during design should provide au abundance of fresh air, without causing drafts to blow across the roosting -place at, night. Crowded, stuffy sleeping quar- ters will weaken the vitality of a lot of youngsters quicker than any other one cause. If the house can be con- structed to furnish considerable shade; that is another advantage. It is a mistake to build small, tucked -up colony houses, as for example 2x4 feet, which are often seen on small plants.
