Young chickens should be fed a little
at time and often. If they are given
ground food alone, there is great
danger of overfeeding. Very good re-
suits may be obtained by the feeding
entirely of cracked grains from the
time the chickens are Matched until
they reach maturity. There are on the
market many prepared chick feeds, con-
sisting of different mixtures of suitable
cracked grains. After the chickens are
five or six weeks old, the prepared chick
feed may be dropped and cracked corn,
cracked wheat, hulled oats, ETC., fed to
them instead.
If the chickens can not get grass,
provide green feed such as lettuce and

Not the LAYING Kind.

A few days ago rather bashful
young woman went into a Southern
grocery store with some chickens to
sell. She inquired the price of fowls,
and at the same time put hers on the
counter. The clerk didn't notice that

her handkerchief, turned her head, and
said, mo, sir, they are roosters."

Ducks don't need water to thrive.
There are many farms in this country,
where thousands of these fowl are
raised each year for market, and where

founder in. One of these establish

year.

The Feeding of Hens.

In order to obtain eggs, it is jneces-

properly fed. To do their best hens

overfat, and should be induced to take

used, dust bath should be provided

The Reader.

The February Reader has two serious articles. One is the conclusion of Dr. HaIe's two installment paper on "T1i- berculosis. Climate and the Great South vest" the other is Talcott Williams analytical discussion of last November's elections, which appears under the title 'grhe Municipal Revolution, Was It So- cial or Political?" One treats of the ills of the body physical, the other of the ills of the body poltie
 Besides the serious discussions in the February Reader, there Is a story by Gouverneur Morris, entitled Prevalent Children" Illustrated in color. The sec ond nstallment of the new Susan Clegg story "The Wolf at Susans Door," is as entertaining as any one could wish. Then there is a story by George Ram dolph Chester-"A Borrowed Baby" is It's title-that is made of a telegraph opera tors blunder, an unintentional Kidnapping, a railway journey and loves young dream.
