questions ought brought hi to light the fact that thaI the tho owner was in the tho habit of or digging worms wurms for the tho chicks and these were fed to 10 them theta whole We Ve secured a JL few tew worms and fed ted them to the chicks It was noticed that a as one chick I would s secure a l worm and run around with It dangling dangling- from froni its beak the theother j I other othel chicks would could tl try to get It away I front from rom the first one and sometimes get et l I hold of one ono another's flesh thus draw draw- drawIng t I Ing lug blood The appearance of or blood i cau caused ell the Ito chicks to pick at it an and be- be j foro fore lon long what started as els an Innocent I war tug over a worm ended In hr a battle royal roat among tho the youngsters oun The owner will continue to feed the worms but hut will grind them up first first irs and has lias promised to let me know if this i corrects the trouble so o wo ivo will have some definite conclusion b by next week Another case caso of ot cannibalism m was visited where v nearly two dozen chicks had hall been killed ou outright t or pu put t ou out t of oC the running Tho The ration fed tI this flock contained no salt It was teas suggested to add about 2 per pr cent of or s salt lt to the I I mash and this was done dono It by dissolving ln dIt j d jIt jit it In tho the buttermilk used to moisten
