In the study OF roots and herbs, their

Determining Sex.

] want to prove my theory before
begin by stating what every one In
his wide world knows. that there is
10 such thing as chance In nature.
Everything is governed by law. Take
the human family for an example.
There are many families that consist
OF all males. Others that are all fe-
males. l claim such things are gov
'rned by law. 1t Is impossible TO
produce male or female by chance or
~ physical weakness. In fact the
weight or size cuts no figure in the
matter of gender whatever.
What has weight, size or strength to
10 with the production of sex? Not
the least influence In the world. 1t
all remains for the female to do that
part OF the business. II Is the period
OF pregnancy that determines the
sex. There is possibility that there
may be some correctness In this theory,
out my theory has proven true time

OF nature. No strength, no weight, no
physical inability In the sex line con.

My friend states that there are no
rules without exceptions. That Is a
mistaken idea, or rather an old say
Ing. The rule or law by which male
and female are produced is unchange.
able as any other rule except the old
darkey's rule which works both ways.
That Is, II twice two Is four. twice
four must be two. The exception Is
not the fault of the rule to work right
every time. The rule or law. which !
choose to call 1t, is unchanged and al
ways remains the same. 1t Is the
circumstances. the environment. that
changes the results. My friend Is on
the right track, but he must dig deep

Commercial Feeding stuffs.

The man that has to buy bran and
other commercial feeding stuffs must
be always on his guaru against the
numerous authorizations that are to be
found on some of the markets. There
are less Of these In markets where the
inspection law Is little enforced than
in the states where the state law
makes feed inspection vigorous. In
many of our states where inspection
laws have been vigorously enforced
some bad conditions are found. How
much worse must conditions be In
those states in which nothing Is really
being done to protect the buyers OF
feed.
The inspection law of the state Of
yet G. d. Woods, the director of the
experiment station, who has part OF
the task Of enforcing this law, says:
Gluten products continue to be the
most unsatisfactory OF any feeds on
the market. This is partly because
different parts of the same brand DIFF
fer somewhat In composition, hut Is
chiefly because certain companies per
sist in putting guarantee upon tLeir
goods that the goods do not come ur

adulterated mixed feeds the author
says that there is so much profit in
selling ground corn cobs, broom corn
and other valueless materials at the
price of wheat bran that the con
sumner must ever be on his watch
against this fraud. The safest thing
to do is to buy only well-known reli
able brands of this class OF goods. II
the consumers see TO it that all OF
this class of feeds they buy carries
the name of the miller. there will be
little likelihood of their being de-.

Ralslra Small Chicks.

My experience is that chicks two
weeks old are half raised. as far a.
mortality goes; of course, rats, mink
and skunks, also some of the famil,
eats, do not care whether the chicks
are two weeks or four weeks old
Right here | will mention that cats
sometimes are very cunning and &c
away with lots of little chicks befor'
hey are suspected. Yet, cats xii
rats. but for poultrymen one good ra;
log and spade is worth whole doz
IN cats. This is my experience and
that's what am writing about.
We should not undertake to raise
chicks among rats; kill the rats and
as precaution have the broodei
1ouse or coops some distance from
barns, cribs and other rat harbors,
and, still more, the breeders anG
coops should be rat proof and the dog
encouraged to make war on all var.
mints. ] am confident that not over
50 per cent of the chicks Matched out
aver reach marketable age. In some
Instances perhaps 10 per cent escape
and live, and In other instances where
care and watchfulness is the rule 81
70 80 per cent are raised.
A little more about rats: They
often do their greatest damage In day
light, pick the chicks up in the weeds
or wherever they can get them; keep
Ing the weeds moved down is a pre-
caution and especially so around the
barns and cribs; eternal vigilance is
the price OF success in the little chick
business. The same method for minks
and skunks as recommended for rats
Will do. A few steel traps, the trusty
dog and shot gun will discourage
the hawks and crows. Now about
feed. The kind of feed is most al
ways blamed for little chick ailments.
| think the greatest number Of expert.
enced poultry raisers will coincide
with me In saying that bowel trouble
and other small chick ailments are
more often due to other causes than
the kind of feed; over-heating, over
chilling, wet and cold, ETC., etc., are
the vital distractions to success
Mites and lice are blood suckers. and
| will repeat 1t again that coops and
brooder houses for small chicks
should be some distance from the old
vermin breeding hen houses and 9th.
er buildings.
A good feed for small chicks can
be made as follows: Take quarts
coarse cornmeal, " pint coarse sand
Tor fine broiler teeth grit), " pint fine
cut beef scraps; mix and bake as a
corncake, only bake 1t about twice as
long or just as dry as you can. then
crumble it up fine and feed 1t once
each day. For the other breeds pro.
vide nicknacks in the way of cut
wheat, steel cut oats, common fan or
mill tailings, some millet seed and
some curd cheese, light bread soaked
in milk and squeezed dry is good for
them, and, regardless of the cautions
we sometimes see. dampened corn.
meal in light doses Is good The
writer can remember back 40 years
ago when cornmeal was a popular
diet for ssiall chicks and the mortal
ity was not so great as now. How.

Friday evening, January 4, will be
the most notable of any since the
campaign for 100000 for the erection
of a Y. NJ C. A. in the city began, for
on that night a musicale will be held
in the Coliseum for the benefit of the
cause. The proceeds for the event
will not be turned into the building
fund as many people have been in
clined to think. but will go to defray
the expenses of the campaign. The
three hundred men on the commit
tees which have charge of the solic-
iting,. have each taken ten tickets
for the musicale. 1t is expected by
the promoters that at least three
thousand people will be crowded into
the Coliseum on that night.
The concert will be second to none
that has been given in many months.
The best singing talent available in
the city, has been secured and the
promoters, although they have not
done SO as yet, have high hopes of
securing some noted soloist from out
the city.
TT ladies chorus consisting OF
twenty voices under the direction of
Miss Laura CASTOR will be one of the
features of the event. They have
entered willingly into the work and
have been rehearsing several sc>c-
tions but as yet none have been pick
ed definitely for the event next Fri
day. The mems chorus consisting of
twenty voices will also be a feature
of the entertainment. This chorus
will be under the direction of Lee B.

were made happy and Christmas was

word, for them. There are sixty two
children quartered at the home and
there were presents enough to go
twice around. The total value of the
toys contributed by the Jones Hard
ware Company amounted to almost
fifty five dollars.
The Greek candy store sent out 40
pounds of their finest candy in addi-
