Those who have had the most experi- ence, and -who have observed that it re- quires about forty hours for the chick to absorb the yolk of the egg just before emerging from the shell, will know that it requires at least that long for the chick to clear itself of the faeces caused by its indigestion. For the first forty-eight houri the chicks will do very well if given a warm place in which to exercise, with little or no food, and they should have access to water and some chaff to scratch in. The more experience we have with the incubator chicks the more we are con- vinced that we feed too much and too soon after they are hatched. We are convinced that a chick that would starve to death at forty-eight hours after being hatched would not do much good had it lived. The vigorous chick will go longer than that without food. We usually take our chicks from the incubator in about twenty-'onr hours after the hatching of the first chick, place them in a clean brooder, already heated up to about ninety degreea. They are very tender at that age and susceptible to cold. Having been accustomed to a high temperature they must not be exposed to too sudden reductions in temperature. When they are forty-eight hours old we usually feed them some oat meal to note how soon the little fellowB learn to scratch. When we feel that we are feed- about enough we cut it down a little, for fear of feeding too much. As tbey grow older we change the diet, giving some bone, onions, meat and egged crumbs, stale bread, etc., but we never give any soft or sour food.â Iowa Homestead.
