Meat as Chick Food

In recent report of experiments in
feeding chicks the Rhode Island ex-
pertinent station says:
The use of the proper proportion
of animal food will pay handsome
profit through decreased mortality
and increased weight of the chicks.
The experiment which led up to
this conclusion was with an incuba-
tor hatch of 219 chickens. These
were separated into lots of about fifty
each and placed in similar brooders
For thirty days all conditions were
kept alike except the rations. Pen
A was fed a balanced ration Of
grains. meat and green food. The
chicks grew and thrived, and not one
chick showed symptoms of digestive
disorder. The deaths amounted to
80 per cent In Pen b all animal
food was withheld. The deaths were
9.5 per cent, of which 10 per cent had
bowel trouble. Pen G was fed on
grain alone, all animal food and all
green food being omitted from the
ration. The deaths were 32.7 per
cent, Of which 76.5 per cent showed
digestive trouble. In Pen ID all grain
food was omitted. The deaths of
chicks were 53.7 per cent, of which
SIS per cent showed bowel trouble.
All the living chicks were weighed at
the close of the test, and Pen A
showed the greatest average weight.

Narrowing Reduces Labor.


The Southern soil tillers are now
wisely selecting the best implements
to aid them In destroying weeds and
pulverizing their lands The harrow
is not found on every farm, and yet it
will accomplish more work in one day
in putting the crop in good condition
than tie plows they are using will
in two. The harrow Is of special
benefit in being passed over the Irish
potato plants, and even when an inch
high, in tearing the surface of soil and
yet not injuring the plants. The har-
row with teeth sloping backward at
an angle of forty-five degrees will do
no harm TO corn five inches high or
wheat four inches high. Try it on a
small plot of corn or half the field. and
observe the difference in thirty days
thereafter with the part not har-
rowed.
The heavy rains after the corn has
been planted pack the surface soil.
and that prevents the spring suns
from warming thS soil to tie depth
or TOUR inches, where the young corn
roots are too cold to perform their
natural functions. The sloping teeth
of the implement will tear up the coat
ing. and the corn plants will put On
new life. The harrow will greatly re-
duce the farm work In keeping the
young crops clean. A harrow with
seventy-ive teeth will clean up the
young weeds or grass on fifteen acres
in one day. The young corn plant
may be laid down on the soil for a
day, but it will soon lift its head. and
then 1t will more than make up for
the time lost while down. Friends.
get out of your old ways and put into
your crops better implements and they
will increase the yield Of corn more
than the cost Of the new implement

1t is barely possible that some corn
growers would be benefited by drill
ing their corn instead of checking
it. There are some advantages in
drilled corn and again it has dis
advantages. The stalks planted In
row with one plant every fourteen
inches will give more room for plants
than when checked. The Increase of
as stalks per acre may not give so
much Of a chance for loss when poor
seed is considered. Drilled corn will
be more difficult to keep clean.

The choice of the boar is of greatest
Importance, for it must not be forgot
ten that the sire is half the herd. In
the case of young boars. the age of the
animal must always be borne in mind
1t is very difficult to Judge boars at
from three to five months old. When
purchasing a boar of this age it is
therefore very desirable to see his sire
and dam. If, so far as can be judged
in his as yet immature state, the young
boar possesses the characteristics
sought for, and an inspection of his
parents shows them to be of the de-
sired type, the probability Is all in ia
vor of the animal developing along the
same lines.

Tests with barnyard manure and
commercial fertilizers for hops have
been in progress for seven years on an
English experimental farm. At the
beginning of a thrAe-year rotation one
plat received thirty loads of barnyard
manure for the entire period. while a
second plat received ten loads each
year. A third plat was annually given
commercial fertilizers. In 1908 the
plat receiving all the barnyard manure
in one dressing yielded nearly half
hundredweight more per acre than the
plat receiving ten loads each year, and
the yields of both Of these plats were
considerably in advance Of the yield
obtained with the commercial fertiliz-
ers alone.

BLIND PIGS" ARE
NOW DISAPPEARING
Hawaii's New Liquor Law
Reduces Number of Illicit
Establishments.
Special Dispatch to The call

HONOLULU, Aug. 1.-THE new liquor
law passed by the, Legislatu turey this, year
has already had the effect Of greatly re-
ducing the number OF Illicit liquor estab-
lishments throughout the Territory, and,
incidentally, 1t has cut down the amount
of money collected by the United States
for special taxes on liquor selling. The
amount Of Collector Chamberlains col
lections last month shows about a hun
dred fewer places paying the SO tax for
the right to sell liquor than last year.
The blind pigs" have been either taking
out licenses or ceasing to sell liquor.
There have been thirty-1ve third-class
licenses, forty-nine fifth-class and 12S
fourth-class, or retail, licenses, issued
under the new law. representing q reve-
nue. of $s7 400 for the Territory. On all the
islands licenses have been taken out by
japanese and Chinese stores. which have
always sold liquor on the quiet In the
past.
In the new law It Is declared that the
payment of the Federal special tax for
liquor selling shall be competent evil
dence" Of the sale of liquor by the party
paying such tax. It is this provision
which has done much to bring about the
reduction in the number Of persons pay
ing the special tax. Another provision
of the new law, which is believed to have
done much to stop the Illicit business, Is
that which makes buyer criminally re-
sponsible as well as seller.

WASHINGTON, Aug R.-w w Rock

partment to keep close watch upon the
developments OF movements in the boy
oott against American goods and naer-
chants and to Immediately report any
thing which may seme to have a signif-
cance and bearing upon the subject.
There are several causes for this re-
newed vigilance. One is that recent re-
ports from the empire have been uni
formly disQuieting in spite Of the earlier
optimistic comments of RockhiIl. The
situation has apparently got beyond con-
troll OF the Chinese officials, who were
favorable to the United States from the
start. and also beyond the Chinese guilds
which inaugurated the boycott, but later,
when they found II hurt them in their
individual pocket-books, sought to put an
end to II. finding unfortunately, that they
were then powerless and students were
running the boycott.
Another reason is that many OF the
American exporters who do large busi-
ness with China have become alarmed
and are now sending letters OF protest
and complaint to the department. Many
OF these professors live on the Pacific
coast.
