CARING FOR GROWING CHICKS
Essentials to Best Growth Are Good
Coops, Cleanliness, Feed, Water
and Free Range.
(Prepared by the United Stales Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The care of growing chick.*, especial
ly during warm weather, i ; most im
portant, suy specialist.* of the I lilted
States Department of Agriculture.
Every boy or girl member of a poul
try club should give them the best
of attention if success is to tie had.
The baby chicks may he smart little
fellows from strung, vig. rou- parent
stock, and they may hnvt been brood
ed carefully for the first two or three
weeks, but unless they receive proper
care and management during their
later growing period they will not
develop properly, and many of them
will he lost through disease or sick
ness. The chief essentials to proper
growth are good coops or houses,
cleanliness, proper feed and water,
shade, and free range.
Every coop or poultry house used
for growing chicks should lie kept
clean at all times. Sickness or disease
starts usually iu unclean quarters, and
lu such places lice and mites are al

ways more plentiful. Coops and
houses should be cleaned and sprayed
once a week, and clean shavings, chaff,
or sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and if found they should be got
rid of at once by following the direc
tions In Department Circular 16, Lice,
Mites and Cleanliness, which may be
had, free, upon application to the di
vision of publications, United States
Department of Agriculture.
A variety of feeds, with fresh, clean
water, Is necessary If chicks are to
grow properly. Perhaps the three
most irecessary for rapid growth are
grain feed, green feed and dry mash.
Poultry specialists of the department
say that in addition to the green feed
and dry mash, which should lie pro
vided regularly, a grain mixture
should be fed night ami morning, giv
ing as large a quantity as the chicks
will eat clean, but no more. A good
grain mixture for growing chicks con
sists of three parts cracked corn, two
parts wheat, and two parts hulled
outs. When available, kaflr or rolled
or hulled barley may be substitute*]
for hulled oats. In localities where
hulled oats, kafir, or rolled barley can
not be obtained, or are too expensive, a
mixture of cracked corn and wheat
only may be fed until the chicks are
old enough to eat whole oats, when
two parts may he added to the corn
and wheat mixture.
A reasonable supply of fresh green
feed is almost as necessary as grain
for growing chicks. If allowed liber
ty they will get much of it for them
selves, but If confined, or if In quar
ters where green feed is not abun
dant, It should be supplied regularly.
Lawn grass, beet tops, cabbage and
lettuce are excellent feeds. When
chicks are confined to brood coops
with runs, they should be placed on
ground where the grass Is green and
tender, and as fast as it Is eaten off,
me coop anil run snouia De moveu w
a place where the grass Is plentiful.
In addition to green feeds and grain,
dry mash should be kept before grow
ing chicks at all times after they are
three or four weeks old. It Is best to
feed it In n hopper Inside the build
ing, or where It will not be exposed to
ruin or wet. Here is a good dry mash
mixture: Two pounds corn meal, two
pounds middlings, one pound oat
meal, two pounds wheat bran, one
pound beef scrap and one-fourth
pound charcoal. Grit and oyster shell
also should be provided.
SMALL FLOCK IN BACK YARD
Two Hens for Each Member of Fam
ily Are Recommended as Best by
Poultry Specialists.
The average novice can reasonably
expect to get an average of at least
10 doaen eggs per hen per year from
his small flock In the hack yard. On
the basis of two hens to each mem
ber of the family this will give 20
dozen eggs a year to each person,
which amount Is about halfway be
tween the average of farm and city
consumption. No backyard poultry
keeper should be satisfied with less
than this, say poultry specialists of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. Every backyard poultry
keeper should try to get as much
more as possible. To provide an egg
a day for each person, two hens would
have to lay 183 eggs each a year. ,

HAD THE RIGHT CIVIC SPIRIT
Alio Indianapolis Man Knew His Duty
Toward the “Stranger Within
His Gates."
An incident happened the night
before the speedway race whi«h does
much to boost Indianapolis as "no
mean city,” and makes the stranger
feel that he is not a stranger.
A business man came downtown
to watch the crowds. He stopped
at the News office, looked at the pic
tures in the windows and went in
side. Two men and their wives from
Detroit were in the lobby asking for
the room clerk. “We can’t get in at
the hotels and we can’t find a place
to sleep or to leave our car,” one of
them said.
The good citizen didn’t wish to
take in roomers. But he had to up
hold his city and do as he would be
done by. So he called his wife on
the phone, but could not get her.
“You folks come out with me,”
he said. “I’ll take a chance on my
wife.”
Needless to say the visitors were
welcomed and spent a pleasant
night instead of sleeping in their
car.

opinion of Indianapolis citizens.—

A stretch of hard-surfaced road in
the southern states, twenty-five miles
In length, was difficult to be found six
years agi>, whereas at present there
are any number of hard surfaced roads
from twenty-five to 100 miles In length.
Acquire Road Trees.
The state highway commission in
California has the authority to ac

Highway construction is now mak

Traffic to the Right.
Vehicular traffic on highways in

The Unknown Quantity.
When a tiling like tliut happens a
man does not know exactly where he
is or how he feels. The largeness and
the smallness of the world amaze him ;
the mystery of life bewilders him; he
Is confused in the presence of the un
known quantity. How- he behaves,
what lie says or does, depends entirely
upon Instincts beyond Ids control. This
is what happened to Richard when he
heard the voice of Cnroiu.—Henry

WARN OF WEATHER CHANGES!
To the Initiated, Telegraph Wires Are
as Good as Any Barometer
Ever Manufactured.
To trained ears, telegraph wires
act as excellent weather prophets.
Predictions as to the state of the
weather can be made from 24 to 36
hours in advance by an appreciation
of the pitch, strength and quality
of the tones produced by the wires.
Rain, snow and storms can be fore
told with considerable certainty.
High shrill notes precede heavy
but. brief falls of rain or snow, while
deep humming tones indicate rain
falls which are both brief and light
Buzzing tones indicate a change in
the weather; indefinite, soft, hum
ming tones of medium strength in
dicate a longer continuance of damp
weather.
It is difficult to describe the tones
in mere words. They must be heard
repeatedly in order that the mind
may form consciously or subeonsci

IN DANGER.
Herman is a small North side
hoy who is just reaching the age
where his imagination sometimes
runs riot.
A few nights ago a holdup of the
corner grocery gave him much food
for thought. l>ast night he came to
his mamma, seemingly much ag
grieved at his companions.
“They will not believe me,
mamma, when I tell them that I
sleep in a dangerous place.”
“How is that?” asked his mother.
“Veil, I sleep right by the win
dow, and that is where the burglar
would have to come in if he en
tered this house.”—Indianapolis

PROTECT THE BIRDS.
Prof. C. M. Weed, eminent en
tomologist, says, after many years’
study of the relation of birds to
agriculture: “I am convinced that
birds are a most potent factor in
making crop production possible,
and without them we should be
overrun with pests—vertebrate and
invertebrate—to an extent of which
we have no <>onoeption.”
