Many poultrymen try to start too many chicks for the size of their house and consequently lose many chicks at and smothering. A chick doubles its size in four weeks which means that day-old chicks should have twice as much room as they need in order for them to have normal space as they grow. A ten-by-twclve brooder house will accommodate 250 to 300 day-old chicks. Chicks at four weeks develop enormous appetites, which is perfectly normal. Good chicks weighing 10 ounces at 4 weeks should weigh 20 ounces at 6 are of the best, and where chicks have water, they will double their weight between the fourth and sixth week.

Purina Startena, fortified with Pura- of Vitamin A to make this jump. Startena is completely balanced and blended so that chicks get every ingredient they need in the exact amount they need to make rapid, healthy growth. A one-gallon drinking fountain and two feet of hopper space should be provided for every 50 chicks. Contagious diseases and infection are spread through drinking water. To guard against this chance of infection one- quarter teaspoon of Purina Chlorena Powder should be added to each gallon of drinking water.

Drinking fountains and feeding hoppers should be washed daily in a disinfectant solution made of two teaspoons of Chlorena powder in three gallons of water. Chick weight standards show the average chick to weigh 11 or 12 ounces at six weeks. Actual records from the Purina Experimental Farm where thousands of chicks are raised each year show that chicks fed on a complete, balanced starting feed fortified with additional Vitamin A in the form of Fura- tene weigh 16 to 20 ounces at six weeks. Brooder Pneumonia kills hundreds of chicks each spring. This disease occurs most frequently among chicks ten days to three weeks old.

General listlessness and difficult breathing are symptoms. The best treatment is to remove all moldy litter and wet, moldy feed, since disinfect the house thoroughly with a solution of Purina Cresofec. Infected birds should be flushed with Epsom pound of Salts to every 400 pounds of chicks. Salts may be mixed with crumbly mash or given in drinking water. Best cure for the disease is prevention.

Keep feed fresh and house and equipment clean. Frequent disinfecting with Cresofec solutions keeps down Infection. Unless chicks are in direct sunshine from which they absorb Vitamin they need additional amounts of Vitamin supplied through feed. This vitamin Is absolutly essential to health and growth, and can easily be made available to chicks through cod liver oil in the starting feed. Purina scientists test the cod liver oil put into Startena by feeding it to live animals and chicks in the laboratories to determine its potency.

The cause of infectious bronchitis but effective methods of treatment arc now available. Chicks that reach forward gasping for air, with mouth wide open, show definite symptoms of bronchitis. A lump of mucous in the end of the windpipe may shut off breathing entirely and cause a strangling convulsion. Early detection ol infectious birds. If allowed to run, twenty to fifty percent of the flock may die in a short while.

When infectious bronchitis is present birds should be dry-sprayed with Purena Chlorena Powder each they go to roost. The (Reprinted from an old copy of the lumbus Citizen.)
