Handling Young Stock.

AS soon as the chicks weigh a
pound or pound and a half, the
mother should be taken away II she
has not already deserted her brood
and commenced laying. This is a
critical time in the young chicks life,
as the youngsters are likely to run
from coop to coop just at dusk
searching for the warmth of the
mother hen.
Some prefer to move them to
larger coops than those in which they
have been raised thus far, but u.s.
ually 1t will be found more satisfac-
tory to leave them in the chick
coops" until they are we'll weaned
from the mother hens.
Be careful to keep them from
crowding together in a few coops.
This crowding is often the cause of
weak and almost worthless chicks.

night, go from coop to coop and make
a careful examination to be sure that
there are not too many in one house.

them and note the high temperature.
You will then understand why this
crowding is SO dangerous. Also no.
tice the tendency for the chicks to
crowd together in the coops that are
fed first in the morning. To prevent
this, change the order of feeding, so
that they cannot tell which will be
the first to be fed at the beginning Of
each day.
Be careful also that they do not
sleep on the ground, as this will
cause them to sweat The ground
is moist and cool, while their bodies
are warm. This causes the feathers
to become saturated with moisture.
Then when they go out in the early
morning they are readily chilled. thus
making them unhealthy. The moist,
damp atmosphere is also unhealthful
for them to breathe during the night.

the perches anywhere from three to
four feet from the ground. Do not
let the young chickens roost until

Rings Around the Sun and Moon.

Among the popular notions regard
ing the weather there are several
which seem to have a good founda-
tion. One of them is that a ring
around the sun or moon will be fol-
lowed in day or two by a heavy
storm. Such ring is usually formed
in layer of cloud so thin as not en-
tirely to hide the luminary which is
encircled, and the cloud is always at
a great elevation. 1t is apt to be
composed of ice particles, but, any
how, the sheet proceeds from the up
per part of a distant storm area, and
is swept eastward by one of the high
er currents of air. An observer of
the United States Weather Bureau,
writing from bia, Mo-, notices
a difference In the consequences of
rings Of small diameter and those of
greater diameter. The storm usu-
ally follows the former, If it occurs at
all, in from twelve to eighteen hours.
In the other case it is liable to be de-
layed from thirty to thirty-six hours.
When ring is first observed, he
says, the storm often is 500 or 1000
miles away. Sometimes in its east
ward movement 1t will press to the
north or the south of the observer,
and hence it is not perfectly trust
worthy sign, but great confidence in
it is felt by this particular scientist.

The Composition of Eggs.

II the poultry keeper knows the
composition Of eggs he will better
understand how to feed to furnish
the proper food elements needed to
produce them. Scientists have found
after many analyses. that eggs con-
tain about fifty per cent. water, sew
enteen per cent. protein and thirty
three per cent. carbohydrates.
There is only about twice as much
carbohydrates as protein, while in
most grain there are from six to ten
times as much. Wheat bran, which
is considered very rich in protein,
contains more than three times as
much carbohydrates as protein.
Wheat contains nearly seven times as
much; oats, five times; corn, nine
times, and barley, eight times. Oil
meal, on the other hand, contains
nearly as much protein as carbohy-
drates; gluten meal, one and one
third times as much carbohydrates
as protein; cottonseed meal, twice as
much; cows milk, nearly as much !;
dried blood. fifty-two times as much !;
meat meal, nearly thirty times as
much.
When 1t Is desired to make a ration
OF any Of the grains for the produe-
tion of eggs, 1t can be seen that 1t is
necessary to mix with any of them
some Of the concentrated feeds, which
contain great deal of protein. Thus,
II wheat is fed, meat meal should be
taken into the ration. II corn is
made the bulk Of the grain ration, a
liberal amount Of dried blood should
also be fed. Since water makes up a
half of the composition of eggs, it is
essential that the laying hens have
an abundance of clean water at all
times of the day.-Colman's Rural
World.

Corn Facts.

The Purdue Experiment Station
has found after number of experi-
meots covering several years that:
The best yields Of corn have been
produced by planting in the first
third of May.
Late planted corn has matured in
twenty days less time. as a rule, than
the early planted.
Thick planting has produced higher
average yields of both corn and stalks
than thin planting.
In very dry seasons thick planting
has produced less grain, but gener-
ally a greater total yield of grain and
stalks than thin planting.
Flowing eight inches deep has pro-
duced slightly greater yields of corn
than either shallower or deeper plow.
ing.
Cultivation two inches deep has
produced little greater yield of corn
than either shallower or deeper culti-
vation.
Rotation of crops has proven an
excellent means of sustaining yields
Of grain and of conserving soil fer
tility.
A liberal application of fresh horse
manure has not been fully exhausted
by dozen successive crops of corn.
Fresh horse manure has produced
an aggregate increase in yield of corn
OF about 100 bushels per acre In
twelve years.
Heavy dressings of manure and
commercial fertilizers have not made
profitable returns in yield of corn in
dry seasons.
Different varieties of corn show
very wide range In proportion of
stalk and ear. which makes it easy,
for the stockman to select var
riety that will produce a large or
small percentage of grain.
Cooperative tests of varieties Of
corn indicate the undesirability of
getting sesd from remote localities.

Beth was too full of her subject to
heed teasing. Uncle Ed had been

just as II Beth's apron were not a
part of 1t. 1t was too far away for

but Uncle Ed went on the last day,
and he was to bring back word of the
result. Beth was certain she should
not sleep wink until he came, no
matter how late that was, but NAM
ma insisted on her going to bed as
usual, and the next thing she knew 1t
was broad daylight. Uncle Ed was
down in the dining room, but he
didn't say much-just looked over
his eyeglasses and talked about pre-
MUM pigs and moving machines and
pretended he hadn't heard a word
about aprons. Bethy crept away by
herself. She understood-she hadn't
gotten any premium, and Uncle Ed
didn't like to tell her. Well, If she
couldn't ever be educated she'd have
to be dressmaker like mamma, and
sew, no matter how hot it was.
And then breakfast was ready, and
Uncle Ed called her to come quick
before he starved.
She slipped quietly into her chair
and slowly lifted her plate to release
an edge of the napkin, and there, un-
der it, folded neatly, lay her very
own cambria apron with blue rib
bon pinned fast, and across it
smooth, gray-green, fascinating IS
