FEEDING THE HICKS.

In Good Health.
A writer in the New England Home
stead says: To push young chicks along
and keep them in health, there is
nothing better than boiled eggs mashed
up, shells and all, with two or three
times their bulk Of stale bread crumbs
or cracked crumbs thoroughly mixed.
Mix not more than enough for one feed
of this at time and give them only
what they will eat readily and quickly.
Feed stale bread soa <ed in milk, either
whole, skinned or buttermill< after the
milk has been squeezed out by the
hand. Only one feed Of this should be
prepared at Il time. it will sour il
left to stand any length of time. Millet
seed scattered in the litter about the
brood house or the short grass, plump
wheat screenings. GA is and corn ground
together. with an equal quantity of
bran and made into johnny cakes, are
good for the youngsters. After they
get to be three weeks old era cl<ed corn
and whole wheat may form a larger
part of their diet. increasing it as they
grow older. Better results are attained
by judicious alienation of all, day
by day. or feed by feed; it keeps the
appetite sharp and they are always on
the lookout for the new surprise at
meal time. Don't forget the pure,
clean water: they need that whatever
the feed. If the soil does not supply
grit in proper shape and size it should
be furnished them; dish of charcoal
where they can help themselves, or a
handful in the soft feed four Ave

ordinary bowel troubles. No tonic or

British breeds of beef cattle. They
are heavy eaters and require an abun =

its hardness and freedom from all
