Ponltrymen differ considerably as to
when the chick shall have its first
food. Good results have been secured
when chicks have been permitted TO
pick IA little sand or fine grit from a
clean board when about thirty-six
hours old. and when about forty eight
hours old 10 eat hreaderumbs mois-
tened In milk and squeezed dry. After
that almost any of the prepared chick
foods may be fed about five times a
day till the chicks are two or three
weeks old, when they will do veil on
wheat screenings and need not be fed
oftener than three times day. 1t is
advisable to let the chicks have access
TO green feed at all times. Fine clover
hay cut with an ordinary straw cutter
is excellent and also makes a good lit
ter to scatter the feed ia. 1t is best,
however, to give the last food at night
on a clean board, letting the chicks eat
all they will and then removing 1t.

Veneer stock.

Probably 10 branch of forest utilza-
ton. with the possible exception of the
manufacture of pulp wood, shows such
rapid development in this country as
the veneer industry. Until very re-
Gently the opinion has prevailed that
the kinds of timber which could be
made into veneer We're very limited in
number. but the reports furnished by
the veneer producers to the forest serv-
ice include twenty-four species. Many
of these. to he sure. are now cut in I'M
important quantities, but the tendency
to experiment with new woods is clear

Tie chemist of the station says on

um grades generally show better
ANALYSIS than either Of the extremes.
Theoretically the bran produced by the
roller process should be more valuable
than that produced by bur stones, as
In one the germ. which is rich in fat,
Is separated out with the -four and in
the other this part goes INTO the bran.
The roller process brans are all per
ceptibly higher in protein than are
those of the bur stone process. 1t IS
not so much the amount Of starch pres

TEN and fat that Is of consideration TO
the feeder The end for which the
millers are constantly working in the
milling process, the most complete sep
aration of the starch possible and the
needs of the consumer of bran, food
rich in protein and fat. are Identical.
The new milling process instead of
supplying the feeder with an inferior
grade of feeding stuffs furnishes him
with one much superior to that sup
piled 10y the old process.

to roll aside hung from an overhead

this type of door In narrower sections,
so that one section rolls past the other,
thus necessitating less length of slide
