FEED THAT CALF ON SKIM MILK
and Calf Meal—and Sell us the
Cream. E. E. Burton Co.
To grow good, strong, healthy and
better layers, it is important to se-
cure chucks hatched by strong, well-
bred hens. Hens that are fed a good
laying mash produce the most hatch-
able eggs and the chicks from these
eggs are stronger than others. Baby
chicks are delicate and require cau-
tion that they are not permitted to be-
come chilled or over heated, and kept
dry. Forty-eight hours after hatching,
they should be given some water to
drink, and shortly thereafter, they are
ready for their first feeding. They
should be fed sparingly, a good start-
ing mash and about two hours later
the starter mash may be put before
them again and kept before them at
all times, until about six weeks of age
they can be gradually changed onto
growing mash. When chicks are sev
eral days old, they may also be fed
a little scratch grain. Keep everything
clean. See that the water i:j fresh and
clean. A drop of B-K in the water will
prevent and cure White Diarrhoea
The little chicks eat so little and make
so much growth from a balanced ra-
tion, that it is well worth while to feed
it. Some like to start the chicks on oat
meal, and though this is good, it does
not compare with the starter mash and
it is often hard to get the chicks to
change onto a new feed, later.
