HELIUM
Helium at ordinary tempera-
tures is a colorless, odorless, taste-
less, and practically weightless
gas. It is produced in nature by
the radioactive decay of heavy
elements such as radium and
uranium.

crowding the house floor and help
to harden-off chicks. You will
have to train the chicks to go in
and out of the house.

purposes is practical and economi-
cal; they should he separately
housed in dry and clean pens, fed
good rations, and kept free of
parasites.
