tells In the Germantown Telegraph how
he feeds chicks To get big broilers for the
early market lie says;

feeding chicks for broilers the best; Tho
first week | give cracked wheat, then
after that | give u mixture Of ground
oats and corn, equal parts, about fourth
part Of middlings, and handful Of
ground meat. Tho whole mixture Il
scalded several hours before feeding, and
then fed only moist. Also chopped up
cabbage, boiled or raw potatoes and other
vegetables, feeding either separately or in
with the mess. Whole wheat or cracked
corn Ia also fed between meals. The

The lecture will be illustrated by fac

grims from old prints,a and scenes associated
with the poet. Miss Bennett has made
special study of her subject. is thorough
scholar, and is also able to present her
theme in most attractive and Interesting
manner: For Chaucer's poetry latter few
slight difficulties have been overcome, is so
full of beautiful lines, has so much
of the dramatic element, delineates
human beings with such admirable
touches of keen observation and humor,
that it ought to be more widely known
than we fear is. In leading us to admire
heartily one of the highest services

ture will doubtless greatly aid. 1t ought
to be heard by large audience. 3.
