"The success of our poultry flock
depends upon the kind of chicks we
begin with and the care we give
them," was the opening remark made
by Mrs. Rosella Cook, Home Demon-
stration Agent, at a regular meeting
of the Grange Hall Home Demonstra-
tion Club Thursday, March 21st.
Continuing the discussion on good
brooding. Mrs. Cook stated that early
hatched chicks are usually stronget,
more vigorous, and therefore less
likely to develop diseases: however
the breed selected is a determining
factor in the time chicks should b&
hatched. The idea is to have the
flock ready to produce eggs white
prices are good in the fall and winter.
If chicks are to be hatched or
bought it is very important that they
come from blood tested flocks.
Mrs. Cook demonstrated the home-
made lamp brooder and many club
members asked for blue prints,
hoping to make one in the near
future.
Tile program closed with a dis-
cussion on proper feeding of baby
chicks. Mrs. Cook stated that there
was no substitute for a good chick
starter. Poultry experts and experi-
ment stations have found that the
food given to baby chicks the first
six weeks is the greatest factor in egg
production or meat production.
The next meeting will be Thurs-
day, April 4th, at the club house. All
members try to be present to help
determine the goals for the year.

BABY DEED
"It is most important that we givt
our baby chicks a strong, healthy
start," stated Mrs. Rosella Cook, the
Agent, at the meeting of the Cold
Springs Home Demonstration Club
in Mrs. Joe Felder's home Marcn
19th.
Chicks from blood tested flocks
are free of disease and when properly
fed and cared for, grow into strong,
healthy flocks. To develop them into
strong, vigorous flocks, they must
have the right kind of feed for at
least the first six weeks of their lives.
There is no substitute for good chick
starter. Try this formula:
Dried skimmed or butter milk, 6
pounds; fish meal or meat and bone
scraps, 6 pounds; cotton seed meal, M
pounds; ground whole oats, 10
pounds; wheat gray shorts, 20
pounds; dehydrated alfalfa leaf meal,
5 pounds; corn meal, 43 1-8 pounds;
oyster shells, finely ground, 2
