The methods of feeding and caring for baby chicks are as many and] Y*ried as thoae of our real babies, and I M with them, it pays to start right, keep on right, and never deviate from your method after once established. We build the coal fires in our brood- er stoves at least twenty-four hours before using the house clean, gritty sand is placed on the board floor to a gasoline ami starch have been hung up. The gasoline will need all day to evaporate, and the starched clothes should dry early and be sprinkled ready for the iron* when they are heated for the woolens. When everything that needed a full bath has bean hung up, we may Bit dawn to the spots.

The noon feeding is scratch jt will be only moved along and will Spring freshened cows should be fed much in the same manner as dur- ing the winter, except that grass will take the place of ensilage and other roughage until the .drought period comes. A well- balanced grain ration should be compounded much the same as for winter feeding. Grain grown upon the farm should constitute the base of this grain ration. Experiments show that cows will produce enough more milk on pasture to more than pay for the grain ration, besides en- courage persistent milk flow and sus- tain the cows in good flesh. While the majority of dairymen much prefer winter cows, spring freshened cows should not be con- sidered unprofitable. On my farm I foot from it, thus keeping the chicks within the warmed zone.
