Some may be interested in knowing
how we feed for size, says an old
breeder. We induce exercise, but feed
plentifully and make the diet as varied
as possible. Milk, meat, grain and
green food form the main basis Of our
feeding. SKINNED milk at cents per
gallon is cheap food, and we also use
quantities of thick sour milk. Prac-
tically no corn is fed our young stock
until six months old. Bran and mid
dlings are a daily portion Of the diet
and are kept before the chicks at al!
times in a dry state, but sometimes we
moisten this mixture for a change.
Have found whole oats soaked in skim
milk great growth producer, but they
should not be fed until chicks reach
the age of six weeks. Charcoal, grit
and cool water are not forgotten.

Labor ON Poultry Farms.

The demand for labor on poultry
farms is, of course, strictly limited and
is confined almost entirely to expert
enced workers, although on the large
establishments large number Of men
and women are employed in plucking,
dressing and packing, and If this is not
skilled labor it is something akin to it
and Is not the kind of work a person
could take to without some experience
and practice. There is q good oppor-
tunity for young men who are pre-
pared to undergo thorough training
in the management Of fancy stock.
This branch offers good reward for
workers, and progress is made In 1t
entirely through merit. Wages run up
to $50 and board per month.

The young lady is Miss Lou Fendall,
why has been employed in the home OF
Mr. and Mrs. Tyrs Smith, and whose sister
is at the Charles Peterson home, attend
ing high school and taking music lessons.
Miss Fendall's home is at Five Rivers
and two years ago she was at the J. R.
Smith home in this city in the capacity
of asdomestic. She is very capable and
respectable young woman, but for long
time has suffered from nervousness and
for this reason went to Albany. Monday
to consult a physician. On her return
she went to the J. r. Smith home in a
very excited state. declaring that the
trainmen all watched her, and that she
was pursued by someone.
Tuesday morning Miss Fendall went to
the Peterson home to remain with her
mental excitement. She finally ran
from the house, wearing her slippers
and but sparsely clad, and after being
refused admission to a nearby neigh
boris home, darted up the C. & E. rail-
road track and was fin lily overtaken at
the W. A. Wells corner, and properly
cared for until a physician arrived.
She was taken back to the Peterson
home later in the day where she still re-
mains.
The physician in charge pronounces
the ailment of nervous, character, and
is is believed the young woman will, by.
careful attention soon recover her mental
balance.
