Personally, we are sold on this method, though our use of lights was followed In our first experience (two years ago) through necessity and not because of choice. Wa bought some started chicks, two weeks of age, that had been kept in a lighted room during their two weeks living at the hatchery. As dark approached at the end of their first day In our poultry house, they became panicky. They ran about cheeping or plied up In the corner. We brought In an ordinary farm lantern and hung It from the celling. Tha chicks then bedded down very quietly and quickly. Later we ran electric wires to the brooder house and used a light. We used lights until the chicks were six or eight weeks old. Without question, this lot of chickens grew faster than any lot we had raised previously. Our experience tallies with that of many others with whom I have talked. Even if the chicks become frightened, they do not pile up. We found that they ate considerable feed during that night, even though the light was dim and so arranged that its rays did not fall directly on the chicks when sleeping. J. W.

Helps Feathers to Grow According to certain English observers, It is reported, when thera Is any difficulty In getting feathers to grow linseed and sulphur help the growth considerably. At the same time, do not overlook the fact that a good supply of flint grit Is also a big factor, and If those who rear chicks would only see that the young have plenty of small grit there would not be the common complaint about the feathers not growing well ; It will also keep a lot of other troubles away. There Is a lot of silica In a feather, and the best way to help the growth of the feathers Is to supply flint grit. Poultry Notes Overheating as well as chilling must be avoided In raising baby chloks. A pullet usually gains In weight until the end of her first winter.
