At the present time he is the director of the Municipal Band of Hagerstown, Md. Over 300 students are now ready for such an emergency as confronts the nation. Many graduates also could be depended on in case of war. Carlisle firemen are also consider ing forming a voluntary company and are seeking the services of former National Guard officers to command it. David Price, of Carlisle, is trying to secure enlistments for a company among the colored men of the town. Many of these are in the Tenth Cav alry and were in Mexico with Pershing. CARE OF CHICKS THROUGH THE CRITICAL PERIOD Properly Handled for the First Two Weeks There is Little Danger of Sickness Operator Should Aim to Imitate Natural Methods as Much as Possible Whatever prejudice attached to the artificial hatching of chicks at one time, the poultry industry has been given its progress by this very means. Where a hen will hatch and brood a dozen chicks, an incubator and brood er will liatcli and protect hundrdes of cltlcks. .The mother lieu Is not to be despised, however', because of the les sons she can teach in caring for her brood: the incubator and brooder should be handled in imitation of her ways. The basis of success with poultry lies in the care of the chicks for the first two weeks. A baby chick performs its first func tions Instinctively. It hovers under the I hen where it is warmest and in the least danger of being crushed by her weight. If a chick goes abroad it soon becomes distressed and is glad to re spond to the cluck of the mother hen by seeking refuge in her warm feathers. If left undisturbed a baby chick will not be able to obtain food for at least 4 8 hours. Nature has pro vided for its nourishment by means of the yolk of the egg, which will sus tain the chick for the first two days of its life. These are the lessons in early care and brooding which natural incubation teaches. Sufficient warmth In early brooding is the first step In the success ful handling of chicks in artlfllcial in cubation. The proces of hatching is simple enough, bus the brooding of j young chicks Is likely to prove more or less troublesome. Whenever possible, newly-hatched chicks should be allow ed to remain In the Incubator for about twenty-four hours. By all means avoid chilling chicks at the start. Importance of Fresh Air Next to warmth come ventilation and cleanliness, As soon as the hatch ing Is over shells and unhatched eggs should be removed from the Incubator and the temperature should be regu lated to range between 100 and 102 degrees, Fresh air In abundance should be ndmltted. Baby chicks need oxygen, not only to strengthen their lungs, but to purify their blood. The Incubator Rhould be kept dark In Imitation of natural Incubation, If the machine has a glass door, bang a thick cloth over it to darken the Interior, In tempering tho warmth with fresh air, care should be exercised not to cause a draft on the chicks, This applies while the Utile fellows are In the Incubator and after they have been removed to the brooder, Fresh air should be supplied freely, but drafts and dampness must be avoided. The ventilation should be arranged to carry off carbon dioxide and other poisonous gases, ProjwriiiK the Brooder Before the commencement of the hatching season every part of the brood should be thoroughly cleaned ond examined. The careful poultry keeper will not place buby chicks in a brooder without first having tested its heating device for at least twenty four hours, This applies to both old and new brooders, If the heating devioe Is new ta the operator It should be studied and tried before the brooder Is used, Then if the correct temperature can be main tained the new brooder may be regard ed as safe for the chicks. In providing for the proper degree of warmth, the directions of tho brooder manufactur ers should bo followed. If an old hrooder is to be uiied, don't ostuime that it will work this sea son because it did last year. Rome part may have become rusty, broken or lost. I have known a whole brood to have been lost fn this way, The matter of proper brooder Ten Candidates For Judge of Juniata County Courts Mifllintown, Pa., March 31.-—Juni ata county has ten candidates for As sociate Judge, with probably more to follow.—Miss Josephine Wilson left Monday for a visit with her sister, Mrs. Brady Robinson, at Oil City.— Airs.

Pennoll, Misses Jane Banks, Ruth Guttshall and Man Fasiclc left on Wednesday for Hollidaysburg where they were delegates to the missionary convention. warmth is also Important. If the sea son is so early that severe changes of outside temperature are liable to oc cur, caro should be taken that the brooder has a su Relent amount of re serve heat to meet this condition. The chicks are often chilled and lost as a result of rapid changes in the weather. The correct temperature lor baby chicks is from SO to 100 degrees. The brooder should be started at the higher temperature and reduced a degree or so daily until the chicks ure two or three weeks old. A brooder that will register 100 degrees an Inch above the floor line, under adverse weather con ditions will usually prove safe and satisfactory. Baby chicks must be broken to the hover. They have no mother hen to call them. But they soon become crea tures of habit if properly handled at the beginning. The poultry raiser must train them and here is where | patience is required. The new brood must be trained to take to the hover as it would seek warmth and protec tion at the call of a mother hen. Training Chicks to Brood Chicks should be moved from the incubator to the brooder at night. Not only are they easier handled when it is dark, but they are more likely to remain where they are put under the hover. For the first night or two they should be confined rather closely to the hover for this reason. If not carefully watched for the first two or three days, chicks may huddle together in a corner of the brooder, where they are likely to get chilled, or trample one another to death in their effort to keep warm. It only takes a couple of days to train them to take to the hover. The poultry raiser can not afford to discontinue his care and watchfulness, however, if he expects to succeed with his young brood. For the first few days chicks need rest more than anything else. If sun light enters the brooder they will spend hours at a time huddled together en joying the natural warmth. This is good for them aa it helps to strengthen them. Whenever possible the brooder should be moved so as to allow the sunshine to fall near the hover or in the warmest part of the brooder. Since the chicks will surely seek the sun light, the aim should be to so arrange the brooder that they will not become chilled as the sun moves away. Feeding the Chicks As previously stated, Nature pro vides for a chick's nourishment for the first two or three days of life. Chicks should be given neither food nor drink for the first forty-eight hours. If fed sooner it will be harmful and not help ful. The .unabsorbed portion of the yoke serves to Rupply the chick with nourishment. Additional food is likely to cause Indigestion and bowel trouble, which should bo avoided by ail means. More chicks are lost evory season by overfeeding than by underfeeding. I-/et the brooder floor bo covered with dry sand and fine-cut clover or alfalfa. The sand will absorb the droppings. The chicks should be en couraged as early as posslblo to take exerclße, This can be done by mak ing them scratch for their food. Young chicks are easily trained to eat, When hungry they Instinctively peck at everything in sight. This habit makes it essential that absolute clean liness be practiced. At first they should be fed on a board or shallow tray, which should removed us soon as their appetite has been satisfied. Chicks soon learn an attendant's ways and will quickly come at a given sound. They should bo fed regularly and not loss than three times a day. No food should be left around to sour or be soiled. Better to feed too little each tlmo than too mueh, A little dried bread crumbs mixed with brar, rollel oat and cut clover makes ft splendid ration, wet □JBARON STRAINS oSingle0 Single Comb White l.fgliumPJJ HATCHING EGGS |£] o*l.oo Per Setting [3 GEO, E, ANDERSON S Q 1M West t'artln Street H Bl PHJKBHOOK, PA, BJ MARCH 31, 1917.

But the water vessels should be shallow and so arranged that the chicks cannot walk in them. It is better not to use open vessels of any kind. Drinking foun tain for chicks are easily procured, they are oheap, serviceable and sani tary. It is a well-known fact that baby chicks are subject to bowel troubles if not properly supplied with clean water. Nothing in fact effects chicks quicker than impure drinking water.

Big Rush at Recorder's Office to File Titles. Because of the rush of business* prior to April 1, to settle mortgages* and property title transfers, County Recorder James E.

As the chicks grow older green feed such aa sprouted oats should be addod to the ration. The flock can also di gest a larger quantity of animal pro tein. which may be supplied in meat, meal or sour milk. With these addi tions to the ration, the grain diet can be given in the litter so that the chicks will scratch for what they get. If a dry mash is desired let it consist of coarse bran, rolled oats and cut clover.
