The CARE OF You've CHICKs-Atter the
chicks are Matched, and are perhaps a few
hours old, they, with the mother, should be re.
m,ved to a clean, dry and warm coop. Young
chicks until they are tour weeks old should
beted as many as four times day. For the
fir,t ten days hard boiled eggs and dry bread
cr,mbs are the best food for them. After that
they may get little cooked potato, rice and
corn bread. When three or four weeks old,
wheat screenings, containing small wheat and
small wild seeds, is proper for them, and with
plenty of sour milk for drink, will make a
diet that will produce rapid growth and
healthy fowls.
Chicks should be frequently examined tor
vermln, and if any are found, little sulphur
ointment applied under the hens wings and
thighs will probably be sufficient to remove
them The coop and run should be cleaned
frequently. Grassy runs, especially IN we,
weather, are bad tor small chicks; their feath
ers become wet and bedraggled, and If the
air is much chilly the chick will become
chilled and perish.
Do not throw down a lot Of food, for all
days feeding, but feed just what they will eat
As they grow older coarser TODD may be al.
lowed with plenty of fresh water always with
in reach.-Westefn (Wls.) Farmer.

and Is the price of food and lodging a matter
OF no moment? then seek the Carleton, the St
James, the Windsor, the Duval, the Everett,
or St. Mark. Are you seeking comfort at
more moderate cost? investigate the claims OF
the numerous private boarding houses. BE
sure that your stylish hotel will relieve you OF

house will not release you under $3.50 day if
your stay does not extend into week or more.
With equal generosity the city has lavishly
provided for the visiting guests collections OF
the rare, beautiful, or grotesque things found
IN the woods and on the shores Of Florida, but
she does not give them without money and
without price. The visitor who expects to
adorn his person and home with souvenirs of
Florida-travel in the shape Of feather ian,
mounted alligator teeth, tortoise shell, sea
bean bracelets, or living alligator, will find
that he must put his hand deeply into his
pocketbook. Beautiful as are the great shells
with the blue skies. the tall palms, and the
shining waters of their native home cleaning
from the pearl, he will think twice before he
exchanges his crisp twenty dollar bill for even
so fair reminder of his journey through a
summer-land.
Jacksonville glories in two things unique
from all other cities IN the Union. The first
is the unpronounceable name of her mayor,
Dyialyneki; the second is small but very
vigorous newspaper entitled THE Growler,
gerry pithy and devoted heart and soul to the
necessary but rather disagreeable business
of exposing the shams ana correcting the
abuses of Its native city.
OF her churches, and of at least one minis
ter filling the sacred desk, Jacksonville may
we'll be proud. We refer to the Rev. Mr.. Y,
of the Presbyterian Church North. Rarely
does man whose form and face embody so
much manly beauty, whose gestures breathe
such easy grace, and whose mental gifts are 50
rare and high, minister to the wants of any
flock. LYDIA STRAwN

Mr.. John Ii. Valley, popular teacher, who
taught in the Armstrong district last year,
came to the conclusion, at the close of the
winter term, that he had followed that profess
sion long enough and that a change would be
better; wherefore he purchased from Z. NJ
Southgate, of Farm Ridge, his stock of dry
goods and groceries and rented the stOre.stsnd
and took up his position behind the counter
After serving his customers tor nearly seven
weeks, he concluded 1t was rather dull bust

IN the morning and the last thing that she for.
gets at night is the fact that the wants of the
stranger within her gates must be provided
for at cost covering all expense and perhaps
more than moderate profit. Her frstclass
hotels are mammoth in size, evidently built
for the accommodation of whole excursions al
time and her smaller hotels and boarding
houses are legion in number. Are you stylish,
