Steffin BROODER HOUSE FURNITURE The Progressive Flock Owner Fur nishes His Brooder nouse wim Efficient Equipment By D. Q. Graybill Th brooder is. of course, the big nt brooder - house furniture There have been many improvements in recent years, not only as to additional fuel capacity, but also as to more complete and automatic control. So that the reliable makes of coal, oil or electric brooders will give good results if they operated according to . directions. The tendency in chick equipment is toward large capacity. Many like to use the newer feeders designed espe wmcn noiu cially for chicks, ana 450 chicks enough mash to last 400 toone filling. for spveral days, with but ftf tfcpse are fitted with "agita tors" which prevent feed clogsring. The design of the modern chick feeders also prevents throwing out and so near wasting of feed. They are considerable save that they foolproof time. Some of the chick feeders on the market are made up to 7 feet in leneth. with a capacity of approxi No argu mate 7S nminds of mash. how much mont. fa needed to show more economical of time these larger feeders are than the little ones in common use. The latter still have their place where fewer chicks are be ing raised. Haw Much Feedinsr Space? hav-- J Experience shows that a feeder ine a total feeding space oi u incnr will take care of approximately :uu chicks. This gives room for about 75 hahv rbicks to eat at one time, and for fewer to eat at once as they grow open larger. Another of the longer feed-of type chick feeders has a total about 8 feet on both sides. This will take care of 250 or rfcirks. denendine upon their size. There are a number of the rotter InTic. narrow chick feeders Tiav w?r Bmards over the ton to pre vpnt rhirks throwinir out feed and made in various sizes. Some of these wasting it Nearly all have some way r.f mwimnlisViiTHr this. Those who raise smaller numbers of chicks will find the small, round fAw satisfactory. Such feeders are common, made by several manufacturers, with from 8 to 12 round holes through which the chicks may eat One of these will take care of about 20 to 25 chicks. They require a little more frequent filling than the larger feeders. Occasionally some one asks how to feed grit, charcoal, or oyster shell to chicks. The same small round feeders, referred to above, can be used for this purpose, where chick raisers wish to use these as part of the ration. A better way would seem to be to use feeders one of the small compartm on the market, with separate imace. for grit, charcoal, or oyster shell. These can be set down against the floor, or slightly above, ro the chicks can reach them easily. Later in the season this same small feeder serves excellently in the laying house, to hold the same ration. About Drinkin? Jar The waterer most commo'v pxt is a flat sort of nan. with detachable cover, into wh'ch a one quert or two quart Mason elass jar fits. Evry one has plenty of such jars availabje. and the metal nans cost but little. They are not to be recommended, however, for larger numbers of chicks, as thv will be emptied too quickly and the chicks will suffer from lack of water. Never feed buttermilk in a galvanized container. Buttermilk can be fed with the Mason fruit jars providing the metal pn and covpr ar made of aluminum. The acid of the buttermilk eats off the galvanzing finish, which is rtostl" zinc, and may poison the chicks. Instead of aluminum, some manufacturers earthernwar in making buttermilk feeders, which are rntirely satisfactory. Many have said they had "poor l ick" in raisin? chicks, when lots of their trouble may have been caused hv lack of plenty of fresh water, or by dirty drinking utensils. The waterers p1 already referred to should h cleaned once a day. And the drinking pans of all waterers should be (riven a daily cleaning. Two pieces of equipment that are needed in this connection are an ordinary 10 qt pail and a . small brush to be used in cleaning the drinking pans or feed hoppers, if necessary. For larger numbers of chicks some . manufacturers are making a waterer holding 1 gallons, using galvanized sheet steel in its construction. It is simply an inverted pail, set in a metal pan, with holes far enough up from the edge to keep the water at the right level in the drinking pan. One of these will be about right for 150 to 200 chicks. Where larger capacity is desired, requiring less frequent filling or to care for more chicks, waterers of the some general type, up to 2 gallons capacity are obtainable. Some use one of the well known makes of 7 gallon flock waterers, removing it from the regular base and placing it on the floor of the brooder nousc, or in the run outside, as the cnicks get a little older. Other Equipment ; When chicks are first placed in the brooder house, one should see that guards are placed around the outside of the hover, to prevent baby chicks from getting too far away from the heat This is especially important in large houses, or in houses not very TVnoV . ror-mnr- lv round all the comers of the room to: prevent possible piling up in the cor- ners. Some recommend a fine wire screen, inch mesh, about 12 with about inches wide with a wood cleat at the top, bottom, and in the center to be placed against the wall of the poultry house, slanting toward the floor at an angle of approximately 30 degrees. It will do no harm if the wire strips are a little wider than 12 inches. The bottom cleat can be fastened to the floor and the upper cleat to the walL Wire put up in this way forms an air space all around the walls and will prevent chicks from piling up and smothering. Be sure to nail the cleats on the 6ide of the wire next to the chicks, then they will serve as perches and get the chicks in the habit of roosting. Some chick raisers put in removable perches to teach the chicks to roost, as they get a little older. To Make Them Comfortable One should have a reliable thermometer in the brooder house. The at which the house temperature should be held will vary from 80 to 100 degrees F., depending upon the climate, the season ofthe year, brooder house construction and size of the pen. In most instances a temperature of about 93 degrees just inside the outer edge of the hover, and about 5 inches from the floor, will be safe. Many good poultrymen, however, much prefer to judge the temperature by watching the chicks, rather than the therometer. If they in under the hover, it indicates either too low a temperature or a floor draft If they spread out some distance from the hover, it indicates the temperature is higher then required. Operate the brooder stove in such a manner that the 'chicks appear comfortable in day time, and at night they form a ring around and just under the outer edge of the hover. Brooder stoves in common use are intended for houses approximately lOx 12 feet in size. They will heat slightly larger houses if very well con structed to hold in the heat. Do not try to heat too large a house and ex pect the brooder stove to give satis faction. Modern brooder house equipment safe, dependable stoves, large capacity feeders and waterers, labor and time saving have done much to cut the la bor cost of. raising chicks. But the greatest advantage is in the larger number of better chicks raised than formerly, thus increasing poultry profits. If one pays 15 cents each for 100 chicks, and raises all of them, the original investment is still 15 cents per bird. But if half are lost through poor brooding and wrong feeding methods, then the investment in those remaining is 30 cents each. So it pays to give considerable attention to feed ing and to brooding.

IN THE CITY COURT CITY, Grain markets continued generally unsettled during the week ending March 29, with wheat and rye weak as a result of the lack of export demand and only moderate inquiry from domestic buyers, according to the weekly grain market review of the U. S. Bureau of" Agricultural Economics. Feed grains were barely steady with demand fairly active but offerings, paritcularly of corn somewhat heavier than in recent weeks. Flax was weak with wheat Wheat: The small takings of foreign; wheat by European buyers continued to be the dominating factor in wheat market, but crop developments are becoming an increaswly important influence. The condition of the winter wheat crop in the U. S. remains mostly satisfactory, although the crop needs rain in Kansas and Oklahoma and there are many reports of irregular conditions in the Ohio valley. Winter wheat in the most important producing countries in the northern hemisphere appears in generally favorable condition and better than at the corresponding date last year when winter killing and weather damage was unusually severe in some vs. Ora A.
