problems are arising. such as the
question of navigation on starless
nights or over fog-bound land, when

wireless stations be established over
the land, each automatically sending
out predetermined signal at regular
intervals, which would be received by
the air craft, and enable the aeronaut
to determine his course. The airships
would not be required to carry trans

them to avail themselves of this pro-
POSED system, and the weight of the
receiving device could easily be kept

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD FEED
Well Established Fact That It Is Eas-
Ter to Hatch Chickens Than
to Raise Them.

1t is well-lnown fact that it is
easier to hatch chickens than to raise
them. The following method has given
satisfactory results on a successful
poultry ranch:
For the first six days a commercial
chick feed is used, consisting of
cracked grains, such as wheat, oats,
corn. millet seed, weed seed, grit. egg
shells. and meat scraps. Part of the
feed is placed in shallow saucers and
the remainder scattered among the
chaff. 1t is important that the young
birds should be active, so scratching
for food is good exercise. Clean water
is kept before them at all times.
When the chicks are let into the out
door runs. which is about the sixth
day, if the weather is favorable. skim
milk is added to the ration. This is
fed once a day, in the morning, and is
placed in drinking fountains in the
outside Tunways. The quantity of
milk fed is determined by what will
be cleaned up within a short time, for

Eggs should be regularly collected
at least twice daily.
Grain should be fed poultry at
night. as it remains in the crop the
longest.
A light placed in the roosting quar-
tiers will keep the ducks quiet at
night.
There is no place for a sick person
in the poultry business. It's hustle,
hustle, hustle.
Nearly all disease of poultry can be
traced TO filth. Clean off the drop
boards frequently.
Young ducks should be ready for
market at ten weeks old No profit in
feeding them after that
The ground and duck pen should be
disinfected every spring and fall by
digging up and sowing green crops.
Hard-shelled eggs are always prefer
able; consequently give the laying
hens plenty of egg-forming material.
Oyster shells are one of the excellent
foods.
We often read of hens that lay zoe
eggs in one year. This is a good rec
ord to aspire to. but count how many
you have in your pen that can go one
better.
On most farms 1t will prove better
and more economical to allow the
poultry free range during favorable
weather and fence off the lawn and
garden.
With the common knowledge of the
earning of the farm fiocks have come
desire to keep more fowls and make
their keeping a special department of
the farm operations.
The gains made by chickens during
the summer are rapid and poultry
men are fast beginning to realize that
if they have large healthy birds they
must have abundant range during the
period when they are growing and
developing.

In addition to the mixed grains and

kale, lettuce and the like are used.
Kale is much relished, and lettuce is
one of the best feeds of this kind. The
quantity of this material fed may be
judged from the statement that one
