LOCAL FIRM "STARTS" CHICKS "Startod" chicks are proving a feature nt the Continents! Hatchery of this city. Grant Burman, local manager of the hatchery, installed the special brooder equipment this winter for the benefit of nis customers who desired to avoid the special care find nttcntKm newly hatched chicks require.

Now the demand lor the older chicks Is taxing the capacity of the hatchery. Peoplo who try to brood quantities of baby chicks without proper appreciation of the solicitous care young chicks require often uffer serious losses. With modern cjulpment and with the right kind of attention, the chicks will come through their youthful days successfully; some people seem to have the knack for taking care of them in the right way, others fail. To overcome the disadvantages of handling newly hatched chicks, many poultry raisers prefer to get their chicks at a later age. Such chicks are known as "started" chicks, which means that they are already well started on the road to maturity.

These chicks are two or three weeks old and have been brought through the first stages of their development under conditions which make for minimum loss during this time. The responsibility for their development Is upon the hateheryman who has the equipment necessary for handling them advantageously with special buildings, special brooders and caretakers who see that the laws of sanitation am strictly followed. The immense brooder units which hatcheries use in carinc for these chicks arc very Interesting. Anyone who is interested in poultry would find it worth while to pay a visit to the Continental Hatchery and see how the chicks are taken care of. Mr.

Burman rays he will be glad to show visitors through the POETRY AND MUSIC IN KEEPING WITH STUDY OF INDIA MORRISON (Special) Rudyard Kipling was exemplified both in poetry and music by the Monday Evening club at its last meeting in connection with its study of India and its working literature at the meeting held this week at the home of Miss Georgia McMulIen, with Mrs. Robert Norrish in charge.
