Feeding Growing Chicks.

There is more danger of under
feeding growing chicks on free
range than in overlooking them. A
chick will eat an astonishing
amount Of feed. Like growing boys
camping, they are always hungry
and always ready to make good use
of their food. To avoid waste of
feed the ration must be planned so
as to get the desired results. If we
expect to market our chicks as
broilers or fries, we want to feed
them forcing ration which will
bring them to market in the short
est time That this ration might in
time give bowel trouble and leg
weakness does not matter; the
main thing is to reach the pound }or
two pound, weight A good fatten-
ing ration for this purpose to be fed
at the end of six weeks. up to which
time the chicks should all be fed
practically the same ration, is one
part by weight of ground hulled
oats, one part corn meal and one
part bu,kWheat, mixed with sour
skim-milk or buttermilk to a crum-
bly, paste
But this is a ration which can not
be fed indefinitely. hence should
not be fed to the chicks which are
to be kept as breeders. . We want
these chicks to develop large frames
and a vigorous constitution; the
weight will come later on, so while
we give them all they will eat, we
are careful to give them a ration
which they might continue to use
indefinitely without danger of over
fat or breakdown.
The fattening chicks may be
crowded in cramped quarters, but
crowding is fatal to the growth of
the breeding birds, hence the soon
er we Gull the flock and give the
breeding birds more room. the bet4
ter are chances of growing fine
birds. One night of sweating in al
badly ventilated coop does a great
deal of damage to growing chicks.
1t is boon to the farmer to have
free range, so that the chicks are
not altogether dependent on him for
food and drink; otherwise rush sea-
son on the farm might mean serious
loss Chicks that are sheltered
from the weather and given plenty
of good water will find much of
their feed and prove the most
profitable crop on the farm. Wal

That Arizona Constitution.

Arizonas Constitution is said to
have in it a provision which proba-
bly, worries the Interests more than
its provision for recalling judges.
We quote it as it has been quoted
TO us: No law granting irrevOcably
any privilege, franchise or immuni-
ty shall be enacted" That is as
wholesome a clause as could be
written into any Constitution. Every
franchise would be subject to it.
Consequently any franchise would
be subject to repeal at any lime
provided it had been granted after
the adoption Of the Constitution
Franchises granted by the Terri
torial government would of course
be invulnerable May it be that
the plutocratic cutlery against the
Arizona Constitution is inspired less
by the Recall provision than by
this franchise repeal reservation? r.

f. 8 P. ENGINEERS
VISIT EUREKA

Superintendent A. X. Randolph
of the Eureka & Palisade Rail-
road arrived in Eureka last Sum-
day afternoon from Palisade. He
came most of the way over the old
road ttGon hand car and was
accompanied by j. F.. Sexton, h
well known railroad builder, and
two engineers. f. M. Cameron and
II. J. Wormley, who we're working
last week in the narrow canyon
leading out of Palisade.
It is learned that the c
engineers are making perlimi-
nary survey and an estimate Of the
cost Of rebabilitating the washc d
out road, while Mr.. Sexton is figur-
ing on putting in a bid for doing
the construction work. As they
had never been over the rord
their present trip to Eureka was
made for the purpose of obtaining
view of the country through
which the raod is built and for a
size up of the conditions to be
met in rebuilding rbe road. They
returned down the road early
Monday morning and when last
heard from were working in Pine
Valley near the J. p. Raine ranch
where the flood waters did con.
siderable damage TO the road bed,
and arc reported to be surveying
a new route in the foothills on the
west side of the valley.
While in Eureka Superintendent
Randolph said that ne was without
any inform alton regarding the
plans of Mr.. Whittcll, but this
preliminary survey work looked
good to him and he believed the
road would be sentinel.
