To Raise a Profitable Percentage Re-
quires Faithful Care.
The poultry man must bear in
mind that small chicks have many en-
emies, and to raise a large percentage
of those that hatch requires the most
faithful care. For the first two weeks
I have a supply of mixed chick food
and fresh clean water constantly be-
fore them and cover the floor of the
coop with dry hay chaff with a supply
of sharp clean sand for grit. When
the chicks are two weeks old they
may have a feed of cracked corn and
wheat at night and the chick feed
gradually reduced until the chicks are
a month old when they will not need
it.
At this time give them a mash for
their first morning feed consisting of
one-half corn meal, one-quarter
wheat middlings and one-quarter
ground oats mixed with SKINNED
milk. After the chicks are a month
old they may have a hopper filled
Will CldChCQ COlA duu W4Gdt always
before them, with which the morning
mash will bring them to maturity in
good time.
When not needed for breeding pur-
poses the cockerels from the first
hatch are ready for broilers by June
10, when they will dress five pounds
to the pair. The cost of feeding them
to this age has not exceeded fifty
cents each.
The April pullets will commence
laying by October, and should be re-
moved to the warmer quarters before
the cold nights of November, as they
will lay earlier and better for it. The
old hens should have been killed off
in August, when they are in good de.
mand at the summer hotels, to be
served up as spring chicken.-A. c..

TEXAS TORNADO WRECKS OWN
Many Citizens of Zephyr Killed and
Wounded.

Brentwood, Texas. - A tornado
wrecked Zephyr, a village in Brown
County, killing more than thirty per-
sons, seriously wounding fifty, and
hurting a score of others. Extreme
darkness added to the terror of the
catastrophe.
The known dead are: B. F. Brown
and wife, c. A.. Cabler and wife. The
odore Cabler, County Clerk, wife and
two children; G. M. Carter, wife and
child; Gibson Cloyes, Mrs. Tom Hart
and child, Gertrude Houston. Mrs. w.
A. Ramsay and child, M. G. Simmons,
wife and three children; Oscar Ware,
wife and three children.
Among the seriously injured are
Robert Campbell, wife and four chill
dren; DR.. Wreen and wife, Professor
Cloyes and family and Captain Collier
and wife.
The storm formed half a mile
southwest of Zephyr, and swept down
upon the village, cutting a wide swath
directly through the residence and
business quarters.
Nearly fifty houses were demol-
ished. Lightning struck a lumber
yard and started a fire, which de-
stroyed an entire business block. No
effort was made to fight the fire, as
the care of the dead and wounded de-
manded all the attention. The big
stone school building and two
churches at Zephyr were RACED.
