After the Matching season begins the
chicks will demand care both day and
night. Frequently they are pampered,
or forced, which is not the best course
to pursue when they are very young.
When they grow rapidlythey the liable
to leg-wcakness, When they are forced
too much by heavy feeding, especially
when kept snug and warm, they ara
liable to bowel disease, leg-weakness.
and debility from raDid production OF
feathers. The remedy is more in
close observance and good management
than in anything that a be given.
The main point Is not so much in the
kind of food as in not giving too much.
Give the chicks just as much as they
can eat at q mel, and then clean
away all that is uneaten. Feed three
times a day, but between meals give
a gill of millet or hemp seed in litter
for so chicks. A teaspoonful OF phos-
phate of soda in every quart of drink
ing water is the best remedy in the
shape OF medicine, but the real remedy
is the seeds, which will induce the
chicks to scratch, thus providing exer-
else. giving better circulation Of the
blood, and increasing their appetites
so as to bring them up hungry at meal
times.-Farm and Fireside.

Levy and Cohen came out OF tn,

Cohen silently shook,

HE WAS ON WRONG SIDE,
Thought Only of the Poor Little Lior
That Wasn't Getting a Bite
of Christian.

Sir Charles Howard Vincent, thu
former head Of the London detectly,
and police force, was talking in Wash
ington about juvenile criminals, re-
lates an exchange.
Your juvenile courts are excellen.
institutions" he said, but how fine i
would be If there was no ~juvenil.
crime"
What is the cause of juvenile crime
sir?' a reporter asked.
"A very potent cause is crime lltera
ture," Sir Charles replied. 81 mean by
crime literature, books about detec'
tives, murders, stage coach robberies
bandits, pirates and all that sort o.
thing. These books are read by chill,
dren eagerly. They are written as il t
inculcate virtue, but really they in
culcate vice.
"A story, you see, may deal with s
bloodthirsty highwayman and a youth
full detective, and throughout the worl
the highwayman may be condemned
and the detective lauded; yet the boy
who reads this story will like the high
wayman much the best, and he viii
say to himself that he would rather
be the highwayman than the detectiv:
any time.
Coming over on the Campagnia
this queer, perverse trend of childhood
this sympathy with the wrong rath.
er than the right thing-was %curlously
brought home to me.
"In the deck chair next to mine
there sat a young mother, and her lit
tie son leaned on her shoulder, looking
over an illustrated book of religious
stories.
THE mother turned page after page
and finally she came to the well-knowr
picture of the martyrs thrown to the
lions. Do you think the boys sym
pathy was with the pious martyrs
rather than with the cruel and reveng-
ing lions? No, indeed. He studied the
picture closely, and what he said was:
"'Oh, mamma, look at the poor lit
tie lion behind there. He won't get
any,"

more of the much to learn than the

more of the much to learn than the
little we knew in the early days Of
manure and clover. We know more
of the why's and wherefores, of course,
which Is a great satisfaction to the
student farmer, and enables him to
conduct his operations with under
standing and intelligence; but the ma
nure that brings the clover, that brings
the corn, woSks as well for the dullard
who does Aot know a single reason
why as for the wise institute lecturer
who will talk one to sleep preaching
the doctrine of clover'-and sometimes
better, for the talher often is nothing
more.
Tull said, "Tillage Is manure" which
remains one Of the fine figures OF
speech of agricultural literature; and
TO our manure and clover, by the use
OF better implements for culture, we
have added m%arvelously to production.
Then came the chemicals, with their
high prices, wonderful claims, and in
many cases cheating authorizations.
Often too much was claimed for them,
hut their usefulness is fixed, and they
have taken their places with manure,
clover and tillage.
From some sources a sensational
note of alarm comes regarding the
acid some of the commercial fertilizers
carry TO the soil, but If there is any
cause for alarm under any circum-
stances it. is not feared by working
farmers that their soils will become
calculated where the legumes are
grown, the rotation Is of a sensible
character, animal manure used and
good tillage practiced. More extensive
than any alarm, because coming with
more authority, are the promises for
bacterial assistance. The bacteria OF
the soil, about which we read and hear
so much, are more of an effect than
a cause, and are one OF the wherefores
that are explaining to US why we get
the good from the manure, the clovers,
the chemicals and the tillage. We may
talk profoundly about them, their OPP
erations and functions II we wish; they
remain so far merely one of the UNDER
standable features of simple fertility.
A simply sufficiently fertile soil
scarcely needs any incubation, and
one not so will probably not remain
lnoculated.-W. f, McSparran, in Farm
and Fireside.

HERE AND THERE.

In winter, when pruning time comes,
the grapevine shoots made the past
summer are to be cut back to within
two eyes of their base, when they are
again ready for the coming seasons
| work.
A Rocky mountain editor hits the
nail on the head when he says that
it takes a monkey a million years to
become a man, whereas a man can
make a monkey Of himself In a very
few minutes.
Remember that while the law OF
supply and demand is a regulator of
prices in the long run, yet 1t does not
| always go into effect until after a crop
has left the farm and is in control of
the middleman.
Both prairie and forest fires are
known to be exceedingly destructive
of humus. In burning over grass
lands the humus is rapidly destroyed,
instead Of being left as food for the
| growth of grain or grass.
The necessity of high fertilization
in Japan is shown by the fact that
in a portion Of the country Japan bar
ley, indigo, beans and rape are grown
successfully on one plot of ground
within the space of one year.
The surest way to ruin a young or
chard plantation is to turn cattle into
it. Even If the trees be too large to
be eaten off, or broken off, all branches
that are within reach will certainly be
pulled down, all low growth will be
destroyed,
witt proper care and feed one can
increase the number Of eggs to a great
extent. Hens can not lay or produce
eggs unless their food contains the ele-
ments of which the egg is composed
that is, a large share Of albuminous o,
/ reproducing elements.

you don't trade with me-" said the
~depositor.
NO" replied the teller, 81 board.
But I'd like to know how 1t is your
trade doesn't fall Off you'll excuse
me. My wife says the mar who opened
across the street is selling away be-
low your prices. Is that true? I'm
asking as a neighbor. | haven't any
interest beyond curiosity"
"It's true, all right" said the de-

the street cuts his prices and makes a
great hurrah about it-foods the

too much. Same way with everything
