FARMERS VERY Care and Feeding of Young Chicks Shipping Poultry Products—Farms Adapted to all Kinds of Poultry The Little Things Will Count The little things on the farm this year will likely mean more than ever before. The chickens, eggs, butter, fruit, vegetables, ete, will provide a living on most any farm if attention is given to them. And the living is the most important and the most expensive item in the farmer's account. Why not study how to make a living with [little things and leave the larger things for cash income? No one should start Into the growing of poultry on a large scale with the idea of getting much out of fancy breeding and showing. Bet- ter start with the production of a fine line of table eggs and dressed poultry and in the course of years branch out into the fancy business. It takes much more knowledge and experience to handle the fancy side than it doeg the practical side. Poultry which is to be shipped by mail must be marked perishable. The . carcasses must be suitably wrapped in oiled paper, then In heavy corrugated pasteboard, then -an outside wrapper of good, strong paper, or enclosed in boxes so Con- structed as to protect the other par- cels. Eggs in parcels more than twenty pounds will be accepted for local delivery when s0 packed as to prevent damage to other mail. There is enough and time farms to raise kinds of fowls. enough, enough on most several different Not only could a, room kept, but turkeys, geese, ducks and one lives within reach of a city or | matter to make several a year in farm. MUch depends upon the in- | terest taken and the facilities for | raising the birds and marketing the! products. Studies at the Missouri tural experiment station the following recommendations in regard to the care and feeding of young chicks. During the first two days of the chick's life it should rest and be kept warm. It is better without having food until itis forty eight hours old. Then the following mixture should be fed in dry litter and also in a shallow tray: three i parts finely cracked corn, one part, steel cut oats. Keep some of thisin the litter at the time. Chicks should have access to a clean drinking, fountain which should be so con- structed that they cannot get them- selves wet. It ig also desirable to, | glve them access to sour skim | milk or buttermilk. Twice daily the | | chicks should receive rolled oatsor | the following mixture: three parts | bread crumbs, three parts corn | bread, one part boiled egg. This, agricul- | warrant be moistened with sour milk. finely cut green food should also be, fed. Continue the wheat, corn and oatg until the chicks are four weeks old, chang: | ing gradually from the flner tO more coarsely ground feed. Keep! the following mixture in a box where chicks may run to it at all times: 30 parts wheat bran, 30 parts | corn meal, 30 parts wheat mid dlings, ten parts beef scrap, sifted fine, and one part bone meal. Keep fine charcoal and grit where chicks, may have free access to it. Feed four times daily. Continue the green feed and give the chicks milk. It, may be advisable to feed a wet | mash once a day at 4 p. m, Feed corn and wheat. Chickens that are not yarded should be fed corn and wheat in litter as a scratch food with the simplest rations possible. | Clean food, consisting of cracked and ground grain; animal food, such as sour milk, butter milk, com- mercial meat scrap and bone meal; | fortable and dry quarters, freedom from. lice and access to clean, fresh earth are essentials for successful brooding.

Durand, Wis.—‘‘1 am the mother of fourteen children and I owe my life to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound. When I was 45 and had the Change of Life, a friend recom- mended it and it gave me such relief from my bad feel- ings that I took several bottles. I am now well and = healthy and recom- mend your Compound to other ladies.” —~—Mrs. MARY RIDGWAY, Durand, Wis. A Massachusetts Woman Writes: Blackstone, Mass. — ‘‘ My troubles were from my age, and I felt awfully sick for three years. Ihad hot flashes often and frequently suffered from pains. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and now am well.” —Mrs. PIERRE COURNOYER, Box 239, Blackstone, Mass. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, back- aches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregu- larities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and dizziness, should be heeded by middle-aged women. Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has carried many women safely through this crisis. vania will receive five per cent. of | that amount, or $18,106, she leaving no ‘direct heirs. There are seven- teen nephews and nieces to inherit the estate. They live in all sec- tions of the country. ——- 0 — SALUNGA Mr. Frank Bair has settled in the old homestead. Mr. John Spangler is quite sick with a complication of diseases. We are informed that one resi- dent of Baconville, folded his um- brella under his arm and took flight westward. One or two tenants have failed to vacate their late homes thus caus- ing some ill feelings tain individuals. The day -of free pikes is coming our way and we hope also the waistless steam engine will soon be among the things of the past. Mr. and Mrs. Jonas E. Miller on Sunday entertained Rev. Hotten- stein, Elias Eby and family, Samuel Eby and family and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kauffman. Mr. Walter Peifer and sister Miss KFlizabeth, made a run to Philadel- phia, to visit friends and also at- tended the Methodist Conference. They returned highly pleased with what they saw and heard.
