Everywhere the eye turns in this

LESSONS IN FEEDING.
Bill of Fare For Young Chicks In Hot
Weather.

Bill of Fare For Young Chicks In Hot
Weather.
If you have been feeding the chicks
wet, sloppy, raw feed, you have been
making mistake, and if you continue
to so feed during the warm weather you
will certainly lose great many chicks,
and those you do succeed in raising will
not be right. Discard the sloppy, raw
feed right now / believe that this kind
Of feed is the cause of the death, during
the summer months, of more chicks
than is anything else except lice. The
food is allowed to sour and at once the
chicks become affected with bowel COM
plant. Nothing will so reduce the vi
tally of chick as will bowel trouble,
and with the attendant effects it soon
greatly reduces the number of chicks.
The fact is that one feed day of soft
stuff is sufficient. Not only is it suffi-
cient, but more is absolutely injurious.
Let this be fed in the morning. If the
feed consists of any part of cornmeal,
let it be moistened with scalding water.
1t will then swell before it is consumed
instead of after if fed raw. AS to the
other feeds, / have found nothing so
good as millet seed. 1t is rich in oil and
other desired properties and is greatly
relished by the chicks Do not feed it
exclusively, for a mixed and varied feed
is essential to growth. Remember this.
This season am feeding as follows:
Morning feed, mixture of cornmeal,
ground oats, barley and rye, moistened
with scalding water. with little milk
added
Noon, millet seed one day. wheat the
next
Night, cracked corn one day, mix.
ture Of wheat and millet the next
Twice q week Q feed Of whole barley,
soaked In boiling water for about 10
hours, is given.
An occasional feed Of raw cut bone is
also given. not more often than twice q
week. Let this take the place Of tho
noon feed
Upon this bill Of fare the chicks will
grow and thrive wonderfully. Some
trouble you say. Yea But I have
learned that In this world IL pays when
We ere doing . thing 30 do IL Il u the
man who makes the most out Of his op-
portunities who succeeds and the fell

lately from this part of the county, and

we shall spread out or expand little

east by range IL, on the west by range
IA, on the south by New Mexico, and on
the north by the big hill and an Indian
allotment. The valley proper contains
about 1000 acres Of very rich, fertile
land, ia which all kinds Of farm pro-
ducts, fruits and vegetables con be pro-
duced This is perhaps the only part
OF tho reservation that was opened for
settlement, that is producing crops this
year,

Montgomery Ward & Co. Of Chi
cagois a firm of which THE INDEX
has often heard but with which
it has never done business. Whether
Montgomery Ward represents
one man or two we know not, but
the firm is doubtless composed Of
very estimable gentlemen, none Of
whom have to our knowledge ever
visited this town. They surely do
not pay taxes in this county for
their names. are not on the assess
ment rolls. They do not help sup
port our schools any more thar they
assist the keeping up the roads and
bridges, the building up ofthe towns
and the progress of the county.
And yet they derive possibly as
large a revenue each year from the
people of this section as any other
firm at home or abroad.
Did you ever reflect on the natu-
raj, inevitable results of this state
of affairs, dear reader1 Money sent
to Montgomery Ward should be
kissed a sweet good bye, for, unlike
the frisky feline, it never, never
comes back. The practice makes
times harder and money scarcer,
and deprives the local business peo-
pie of profits justly theirs. And
yet, because some article is cata-
logued at a lower price than the
home merchants ask, somevery we'll

The Alamosa Courier speculatos as
follows on the chances fora broad gauge
line from Alamosa via Pagosa Springs to
Durango and. inierentiully, down
through the Animas valley ard on TO
Arizona:
"rhe town OF Chama, Which vas de-
stroyed by ERE, is not being rebuilt.
Only few temporary buildings have been
put up in the burned district, everybody
waiting to see what the railroad company
intends to do. SO far tho company has
made no move toward rebuilding tho
round house, coal sheds, shops deport or
other buildings burned and the people Of
Chama fear that they will dever rebuild.
The intentions Of the company are kept
very dark. With rumors Of board gauge
line direct from Alamosa, or from some
point on She Creede line. to Pagosa
Springs and Durango. Chama people
fear that the long aud tortuous narrow
gauge line now used will be abandoned
entirely or given over to the use Of lumber
trains only. There appears to be good
ground for these apprehensiona. The
Denver g. Rio Grande bas some object in
view ia widening the gauge over Veta
AMN. ntNOnA NnU AlEAN DuAAUAua 10 ala
moaa for better facilities in handling
the San Louis valley business. This
object may be the extension of the broad
gauge system to Santa Fe and the south
or west, or it may be to build direct to
Durango for greater tonnage Of ore,
coal and lumber FROM Southwestern
Colorado
Another fact to take into consideration
ia this matter is that the contract for
the construction Of the branch, known
as the Sullenberger line, from Cato to
Pagosa Springs, on the Rio Grande sys-
tenn, was let last week, w. Q. Bradbury
& Co. getting it. Work will be completed
by November. The Incorporated title
ofthe line is the Rio Grande, Pagosa &
Northern railroad 1t will be about
thirty miles in length, although tbs
word 'northern" in the title is generally
taken to indicate that the Rio Grand'
eontempiates eventually continuing the
tracks across the divide to point high
or up on it's San Juan line for the Pur
pose Of saving the climb to Chama, Thl
present purpose is that Of tapping the
lumber territory in the vicinity Of Pa
gosa Springs, where mills are to b.
erected.
