SUCCESS IN LITTLE CHICKS
Proper Feeding Is the Great Secret
Half Dozen Methods, Any One
Of Which Is Good.
(By MILLER

Do not allow anyone to convince
you that there is only one way to rear
little chicks successfully. Some meth,
DDS may be better than others but the
fact is that there are half a dozen
methods, any one of which Is as good
as many Of the others.
| vas called upon to decide which
Of two flocks Of chicks were the best,
after one of them had been brought
up on moistened feed and the other
on dry feed exclusively, and | found
It impossible to detect any difference
worth mentioning. In point Of econo-
my there does not seem to be any
difference.
The result in my case has been that
| feed dry feed all the time because
it is easiest to do so. When chicks
are fed dry feed there is no mussy
work of mixing mashes nor IS there
any fermented feed left over.
The whole secret of rearing chicks
successfully, as far as feeding Is con-
cerned, seems to be to see that they
are kept full all the time.
l reared a flock Of chicks last sum-
mer on wheat and rolled barley eX-
clusively. The only feed beside these
two grains they got was some green
mustard tops and sprouted wheat, as
green feed was exceedingly scarce.
The mustard tops grew up along an
irrigation ditch and were fed to the
chicks. No beef scraps, no milk, just
wheat and barley. Most of the time
the chicks had sprouted wheat to dig
for. Wheat was scattered thiCkly, COW
cred lightly and the soil kept damp.
To prevent the chicks from getting it
too soon, and to prevent too rapid
evaporation, the bed was covered with
burlap sacks until the wheat began
to throw up green sprouts.
Then the chicks were turned on
and they would eat nothing else as
long as they could have this wheat.
In the course Of termination the
starch in the wheat is changed to SUI
gar of a sort which chicks like.
This process also partially digests
the starch, making 1t easily digestible
by the chicks.
l think sprouted wheat, barley or
oats make about the best combina-
ton Of green feed and grain that the
poultryman can use and they thrive
beautifully on 1t.
Preferably, l feed cracked corn and
cracked wheat for the first two weeks.
At two weeks Of age l begin to feed
a good quality of dried beef scrap
and always I keep grit, charcoal and
clean water where the chicks can
help themselves.
II any one tries to argue with me
that ground grains, m%oistened enough
to make a thick dough, is better than
cracked grains, fed dry, l do not ar
que the case, because I do not believe
it IS worth while.
On principle, l feed sound and
sweet grain, because l would not want
to eat musty feed myself. The chicks
that run at large around a farm yard
pick up a lot of grain in the course
of the year that is anything but
sound and sweet but | haven't noticed
that this interferes with their health.
Feed often and feed plenty and the
chicks will do the rest.
An average of one pound Of grain
a week will supply a chick for the
first ten weeks of Its life.

Brahmas are much longer maturing.
while the Game and all the small or
medium-sized breeds are sooner de-
veloped. They feather up quickly and
acquire the much desired plumpness
sooner and more easily than do any
of the larger breeds. This is espe-
cially so with the pullets, though the

which latter require maturity mot

That more capons are not raised
is practically due to the fact that few

to produce them. However, this is

Advance registrations point to large

sion of the College. Students have al
ready registered in thirty-siX of the
forty-two courses. 1t is likely that all
courses offered will be taken, with the
possibility that additional classes may be
formed. The courses which have thus
far made the widest appeal are those
in Pedagogy, the Biblical Literature
group, the Arts and Crafts, and Domes-
tic Science.
In this connection, it is we'll to remind
residents of Addison County of the rare
opportunity that the College places at
their disposal of enjoying one of these
College Extension Courses at the mini
mum fee of $500. The study of
Domestic Science, either in the form of
practical cooking or the study of house
hold economies is thus made available a
mere fraction of what the same in
struction would cost at large city in
stitution. Registration should be made
as early as possible. Bulletins may
still be obtained of DR.. E. D. Collins.

supported himself for three years in the

Three Billion Letters a Year Now
Bear Those Initials.

The rural free delivery service of the
United States means the distribution of
nearly 5000, 1000, 900 letters and parcels
annually along the highways and by.
ways of every State and Territory from
Maine to Alaska. A force of al ,00O
carriers daily 60 over the routes assigned
to them.
Bringing the mail to the farmer now
costs the nation $50. 900 900 year in sal.
aries for the carriers, expense of examin-
ing new routes, maintaining postoffice,
payments of inspt ctors, special agents,
clerks and chief of bureaus.
To secure information to make changes
in routes and carriers, where deemed ne
cessary, to establish new routes and to
record and tabulate statistics and data
for the postmaster general as well as for
the public. force of only 10 persons is
required in Washington, in spite of the
great amount of office work and CORE
spondence that must be finished daily.
Over a million letters are received and
answered by the department of rural free
delivery in year. Many of those re-
ceived are merely addressed to the de-
partment. To save time of opening and
reading mlssives not properly directed is
part of the work of the mailing section.
1t includes private postoffice through
which every letter received or sent rela-
tive to rural delivery must pass.
Every one of the half million and more
copied for record by mechanical system
which saves the labor of hundred copy
ing clerks even where the hand copying
press or the carbon method has been en-
ployed. A force of only II clerks is need
ed in this section. yet in addition to
handling and copying mail they keep a
daily record of all the outlay for postage
expenses of the department and sort and
examine the hundreds of letters daily re-
ceived which NUT be returned to the
postoffice where they should have been
directed.
What the service does in receiving an
plcations for new routes, petitions for
carriers d. cisiOns of the department, the
payments and receipts, is told by the
postoffice newspaper. Published every
day by the accounting section, it is
record of what every one in this postal
counting house, including the assistant
acknowledgement himself. is doing.
Every important item of statistics is tab
ulated in type.
The esprit de corps of the rural free
delivery is best shown by the last an
nual report. During the year it states
that out of the II 600 in the service the
total dismissals for cause were only 1865,
less than the total number os deaths.
The reasons for dismissals were prin-
cipally Incompetence and failure to obey
Instructions No disnssals whatever for
stealing from the mails or other dishon-

the different kinds of men required, this

4e FISHERMEN MISSING,
 PERisHED IN BLIZZARD
Chance for Escape Regarded as Poor
 Nova Scotia Fleet.

Canso. N. S., Jan. 5-Forty- two fishermen are missing and may have perished in the blizzard that suddenly swept down this coast yesterday aft ernoCn and has been raging for more than 24 hours. Fourteen men are all most certainly known to have been lost and the remaining 2s who are missing are already being mournei l ed as small. Thirty of the men in volved in this tragedy of the sea were married.
 Twenty three of the fishermen were from Dover, four miles from here, end 19 from Whitehead, ten miles to the south.
 The fleet from Canso and from Pe- tite de. Grat about nine miles away, capped by skilled boatmanship.
 he storm Tuesday caught the fish el rcen all unawares. Lured by fine morning that promised good fishing the men ventured to the outer edge of the haddock fishing grounds. At noon the storm came up with great ra- padity In a period measured by min utes the ten-mile an hour wind was ture fell many degrees and thick snow obscured the view, so that many of the little craft were unable to make harbor.
 and waiting, steamers were sent out today to search for the smacks. Sey- eral crews, frostbitten from night of exposure, were picked up, but many are still missing, and the chance that they have escaped grows less as the hours pass with no news from them at any point along the coast.
 At the entrance to Whitehead har- bor, a boat from Port Felix settlement, a mile or two from Whitehead. struck on Dogfiah rocks. Her crew of seven were lost. Another boot, her sails in tatters, was sighted off shore at Can so, but before assistance could put off from shore the distressed boat was lost from view in the blinding storm. Her crew must have perished.
