Animal Food for Young ChicIse ems.

We do not think that we can be mis-
taken in the belief that we should be far
more successful in the raising of young
chickens by giving them a great deal
more animal food than we are in the
practice of doing. Corn meal mush.
boiled potatoes, and similar substances
generally compose, as we all know, the
principal food of young chickens; but we
can see no reason why these young birds
should be exceptions to the ordinary rule
of young birds in general, which feed
very largely, indeed chiefly, on animal
food; even those which, when they are
mature, live mostly on fruits and seeds,
grubs and insects We notice the old
birds all day long busily engaged in sup
plying their young with food, but always
with animal food. In fact, it is
very rare that we have seen anything
else. Why, then, should chicks be
an exception The recommends
tons, almost without exception in our
poultry publications, is to give more ami
NAL food to our grown fowls if we expect
them to give us more eggs, especially in
winter, when they can help themselves to
none. That it is a great inducement to
make them lay more generously, we have
too many proofs to admit of any doubt,
Beside, it is claimed that animal food has
other advantages in the way of good
health, etc. Why, then, let us ask again,
should the young chickens not be benc-
fitted with at least moderate supply Of
animal food? All chicken raisers know
the great losses always suffered in the
growth of them, and may it not be owing
to large extent 10 the Withholding en-
tirely of this strengthening food, which
is of so much benefit to the ma
tured bird? We, therefore, suggest to
our farmers to change their method of
feeding their young chickens by giving
them due proportion of animal food
chopped up in very small pieces, and
thus find out, each one for himself, wheth-
er it is not very decided benefit in rails
ing to maturity an additional number of
the chicks into strong, healthy fowls

An international Food, Dress and
Handicraft Exhibition.

1t is proposed to hold in London, dur
ing this year an International exhibition
which shall also illustrate certain
branches of health and education, and
which will occupy the buildings at South
Kensington erected for the International
Fisheries exhibition. The object of the
exhibition will be to Illustrate, as wildly
and in as practical manner as possible,
food, dress, the dwelling, the school, and
the workshop, as affecting the conditions
of heathful life, and also to bring into
public notice the most recent appliances
for elementary school teaching and in
struction in applied science, art and
handicrafts. The influence of modern
sanitary knowledge and intellectual pro-
gress upon the welfare of the
people of all classes and all nations
will thus be practically demonstrated,
and an attempt will be made to display
the most valuable and recent advances
which have been attained in these import
ant subjects The exhibition will be di =
vided into two main standardization |.
health; Division III. educatiOn-and will
be further subdivided into six principal
groups. In the first group it is intended
specially to illustrate the food resources
of the world, and the best and most eco
nomical methods of utilizing them. For
the sake of comparison, not only will
specimens of food from all countries be
exhibited, but the various methods of
preparing, cooking and serving food will
he practically shown. The numerous pro-
cesses of manufacture connected with the
preparation of articles of food and drink
will thus be exemplifed; and. so far as
the perishable nature of the articles will
admit, full illustrations will be given of
the various descriptions of foods them
selves. In the second group, dress,
chiefly in its relation to health, will be
displayed. Illustrations of the clothing
of the principal peoples of the world may
be expected; and part of this exhi-
bitiOn, which, it is anticipated, will be
held in the galleries of the Royal Albert
Hall will be devoted to the history of
costumes. In the third, fourth and fifth
groups will be comprised all that per-
tains to the healthful construction and
fitting of the dwelling, the school and
the workshop; not only as respects the
needful arrangements for sanitation, but
also the fittings and furniture generally
in their effect on the health of the in
mates The most improved methods of
school construction will be shown, and
the modes of combating and preventing
the evils of unhealthy trades occupations
and processes of manufacture will form
portions of the exhibition. The sixth
group will comprise all that relates to
primary, technical and art education,
and will include designs and models
for school buildings apparatus and
appliances for teaching; diagrams, text
books, etc, Special attention will be
directed to technical and art education
to the results of industrial teaching, and
to the introduction of manual and hand
craft work into schools.
