Next put a layer of clean sand on the floor, and over this, outside the hover, an inch of finely cut straw. If hay sweepings are used in place of straw, several precautions are nec- essary. First, the chicks must not be allowed on them until ready for first meal, or they will pick up seeds which cause digestive trouble. After the chicks are two days old, the seeds will do no harm. Second, sharp particles are liable to be scratched into the chicks' eyes, and it will be necessary to watch for and remove these. Third, if the material is at all musty or very dusty it must not be used at all, or serious respiratory troubles will re- sult. The heater stove should be run for a day or two before the chicks are put in, to be sure that the regulators are in good order. The temperature under the hovers should start at 100 deg. F., and be gradually lowered. after the first. week, until at eight to ten weeks the heat is eliminated. It is a good plan to leave the stove up,. with a fire laid, in case a spell of cold weather or rain demands heat in a hurry. For the first few days, enclose the chicks by a ring of poultry -wire (half- inch mesh) at least one foot high, placed 18 inches from the edge of the hover. When the chicks have learned the source of heat, this can be remov- ed. It is advisable to round out the corners of the house with wire or building -paper, to prevent crowding there. The stove should be shaken down and cleaned out et ery morning, culars, even yellow paper bags.

Exposure to sunlight, and contact with... the bare ground, are outstanding factors in preventing leg weakness. These, with plenty of exercise, are important fac- tors in controlling toe pecking, can- nibalism, and other results of idleness and overcrowding. Successful brooding can be summed up in a few points: 1. Proper heat without drafts. 2. Careful and regular feeding, without sudden changes, ration to in - elude milk in some form, and green stuff. Avoid overfeeding. 3. Get chicks on ground as soon as possible. Cut a sod and put in the pen if the weather is stormy.. 4. Avoid overcrowding. 5. Sanitary surroundings — clean, dry litter, especially under hovers, dead chicks 'removed at once. Clean water fountain. ' Our Confetti Factory.
