Why Should the Chicks Die?

Woman" tells of some strange ex-
perience with young chicks. 1t is
evident that much if not all of the
trouble was caused by something
wrong with the feed. Chicks do not
die Of bowel trouble or swelled crops
except from indigestion and that is
always caused by improper food or
feeding. The article is as follows:
We have come to place in poultry
keeping where we do not know which
way to turn. Will O. w. Mapes,
or some experienced poultryman, give
us some advice what to do next? We
have kept S. C. w. Leghorns ex-
clusively for twenty-five years; the
last ten years have kept two hundred
and fifty to three hundred. My sister
has raised the chicks, usually raising
ninety per cent In 1903 we raised
three hundred and fifty handsome,
vigorous chicks. That year we bought
new stock from a well-known New
Y ork breeder. In 1904 my fathers
health failed, so the care Of the hens
fell on us, and we did not attempt
to raise many. In 1905 We Matched
out over three hundred; when a week
old they commenced to die by the
wholesale. We saved seventy-flve;
the only reason we could give then
was that there. was sickness in the
family and they did not get the usual
care. Last fall we bought cockerels
from another New York breeder This
spring we Matched out about three
hundred and fifty lively, strong chicks.
When a week old they commenced to
droop, wings extended from the body,
thirsty, puffy crops, starving hungry
even with full crops; would eat to
the last They usually died in twenty
four hours; we lost from five to
twelve per day. Most of those that
died had chalky deposit on feathers
below the vent. Now and then as the
chicks grew older l noticed blood
in droppings. The first fifty were fed
bread soaked in milk the first week;
then substituting a prepared chick
food The next lot were fed bread
for two weeks, then pinhead oats and
chick food. Though not all at same
meal, they died the same way. The
first one hundred were kept in a dry,
airy house Skis. When they COM
menced to die we put the next lot
in coops, fifteen to one hen, and the
third lot in another house. Those in
the coops did the best. When the
second lot began to die we sent to a
fancier for one hundred eggs; from
them we Matched eighty-nine strong
chicks June II. They were put in
new coops away from the others,
were fed eggs, boiled, and bread the
first week; after that bread and pin
head oats, and they died the same
way; have thirteen left. Grit and
fresh water in clean dishes are al
ways before them; the houses were
fumigated and whitewashed before the
chicks came, and kept clean after
wards. The hens were busted with
insect powder during incubation, and
creased after We were on the watch
constantly for lice. We left nothing
undone that we could think Of to save
them Here we are dependent on our
hens for bread and butter with one

HE MEETS AN
AWFUL DEATH
cow ATTACKS HORSE
HORSE
And the Latter Falls Backward and After
Frantic Efforts to Get on lis Feet
Crushes Its Rider, Will Mccarthy, TO
Death.

William McCarty, young cow
boy of the lower valley, met a nor
rible death on Wednesday afternoon.
1t seems that young McCarty
was rounding up some cattle on the
range near Fruita, when suddenly a
COW ran head first into his horse.
The horse reared up and fell back
ward, carrying McCarty under him.
The horse almost succeeded in get
ting onto its feet again with McCar-
ty still sitting in the saddle, but
fell again and turned over twice,
crushing the life out of the young
man. Austin Corcoran of this city
and one or two other cattlemen wit
nessed the horrible accident, but they
were unable to aid McCarty in time
o save his life. The body was ter
ribly mutilated. The remains were
taken TO Fruita and there the funer-
al and interment will take place.
The deceased was 23 years of age.
and was a son of J. J. McCarty, a
longtime resident of the lower val
ley. The tragic and untimely death
of young McCarty has caused much
sorrow in the Fruita community.
The mother of the young man was
accidentally shot to death a num-
ber of years ago. Two sisters
Misses Bessie and Maggie McCarty
formerly worked in the Grand
Junction telephone exchange. The
family is widely known in the lower
valley.

Beyond doubt Mesa King is one
of the finest colts ever bred or owned
in Mesa county. He Is a beauty In
every sense of the word. and none
have looked upon him without ex-
predicting that he would make a
great record for himself.
Mesa King is strictly a Grand val
ley product, his parents being among
the best known horses of the county.
His sire Is Jimmie Hards. one Of the
fastest and best bred horses here,
while Uno, Harry Hiatt's famous
pacing mare Is the mother of the colt
The colt Is magnificent seal
brown, Weighing about 1850 pounds.
He has any number of admirable
qualifications and characteristics,
and. although not yet fully trained.
he has developed much speed and
withal is an exceedingly promising
animal
Harry l.. Hiatt, known as a great
lover of good horses. Is among those
citizens who have always taken pride
in developing the horse stock of the
valley. He believes that the county
cannot have too many good horses
and they can't be any too good.
Mesa King is an excellent specimen
of local breeding and is therefore, as
we have already stated, true Mesa
county product.
Mr.. Stoneman, the new owner of
the colt. has resided in this county
for many years. but is now prepar-
Ing to move to Boise, Ida. He will
take the colt with him and there ex-
poets to develop him to his highest

A very delightful instrumental Sc

encored. Mrs. Haskell is the very
efficient organist of the church. and
a finished musician. Edwin A. Sher-

been selected by the congregation to
perform little service for them
arose and in very pointed and felic-
itous speech presented Rev. Weir
with purse from the members OF
the congregation.
In his response Rev. Weir spoke
most feelingly of his pastorate In
Grand Junction. He said that he
felt that all things liz this world were
ordained by Christ. and his leaving
his labors in this city, while in many
ways to be regretted, was the call
of the Master. and he needed it, He
said that among the most pleasant
things of his life in this city was his
fellowship with his brother pastors
which to leave was perhaps among
the seyerest of his regrets. Rev
Weir gave a manly, lovable talk
which was thoroughly appreciated.
The closing benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. Becker of the Con
