second feed is given, but this Is only
light meal of whole barley, which
is raked into the litter of the scratch
ing shed in the usual way. The fowls
are Kept busy scratching out the
grains one by one until 4 or o'clock
in the afternoon, when they are given
a full meal of oats and wheat, alter
nately scatteded broadcast over the
grass runs. Should the weather be un-
favorable for outdoor feeding this last
meal is also fed in the scratching
shed, but not raked into the litter.
In addition to the green food supplied
in the mash the fowls are kept sup
piled with raw turnips, mangolds and
any other roots which may be avail
able. These are split in two parts
and placed in the runs, where the
fowls can eat them at will. 1t is also
advisable to allow breeding stock a
large quantity of skim milk to drink
in the fall, as it is heterogeneous diet
and makes up to some extent for the
scarcity of green vegetables. I should
say that the cause of death Of three
fourths of the late Matched chicks
which die in an apparently unaccount-
able way Is due either directly or in
directly to the want of fresh ground
and clean appliances. My experience
in chick rearing at all seasons of the
year has led me to the conclusion that
one can not start rearing them on the
same ground throughout the summer
and autumn without very serious loss,
and I should certainly conf1ne my OPP
erations in this department to one sea-
son If 1 had not some fresh ground
at my disposal wherein to keep the
latter birds.
The vigorous spring chicks come
along in their hundreds and clean up
every scrap of green stuff and every
slug, worm and insect above the
ground and when they have been
reared the runs are not in the same
fresh and wholesome state that they
were at the beginning of spring after
the winters frost and snow. Indeed,
they are not by any means At to re-
ceive another batch of chickens until
they have had some months rest. But
there is nothing easier than to rear
summer and fall chicks on a piece of
fresh ground, and no better place can
be selected than a meadow from
which the hay has recently been mown
and to which poultry have not had
access for several months. Another
excellent place for rearing late chicks
is a stubble field which has yielded
a crop of grain and is teeming with
insect life, scattered grains and green
and tender shoots of plants.
Such a place as this is an ideal one
for autumn chick rearing and porta-
BILE crops may be used, but let them
be clean. If they have been occupied
throughout the summer, I would not
use them again until l had them
thoroughly scraped, washed, dried and
newly painted. Then there is no dan
ger that they may convey the germs
of grapes, roup, tuberculosis, or any
of the other ailments to which baby
chicks are subject,

STOCK MARKET
At STANDST|LL
BY Associated Press.

New York, June 3o-The stock market
developed an irregular tone in the early
trading to-day. United States Steel.
Union Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and
several other stocks declined fraction
ally. giving the market an appearance
OF heaviness. American Telephone sold
eN-dividend and eX-rights at lS9 IL as
compared with yesterdays close of 14S l-2.
Toledo, St. Louis and Western, prefer
red, gained point.
The irreguiar1ty Of the market at the
outset led to sharp drive by the bears
who succeeded in depressing the lead
ing stocks sharply. The selling was
based primarily on Yesterdays indict-
ments of various corporations and their
officials: Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific. Chesapeake and Ohio. Amalgamat-
ed Copper and American Beet Sugar sag
ged somewhat from 1 to S-S.
The institution of antitrust proceed
ings against wire manufacturers, made
known after the close Of the market yes
terday, was the governing factor in the
movement of stocks this morning. Some
uncertainty was felt as to whether other
similar developments were to be expect
ed and declines Of point or more were
recorded among the list of active stocks.
United States Steel was les Sactive than
has been expected. however, and its loss
was confined to a fraction. Irregular re-
coveries were not well sustained in the
second hour, the higher prices inviting
fresh selling which was more effective in
the Hartman stocks and United States

there was also a large absorption of the

While hunger is often the immediate

DANGEROUS PRACTICE
Little Boy on Handle Bar of Bicycle
Narrowly Escapes Serious
Injury.

Late yesterday afternoon bicycle
rider, with boy about 5 years old
seated on the handle bars OF his
wheel, collided with q pedestrian at
the corner OF King and Royal streets.
The pedestrian was knocked down
and the child Was thrown TO the Wit.
rifed brick pavement. The rider
jumped from the wheel and caught
the child in his arms while The crowd
believed the lad had ibeen seriously
injured. Soon the bicyclist, with the
child on his arm. later mounted his
wheel aud hurried away. The ped
estrian, it is said, escaped with slight
bruises. Accidents similar to that
record above have been expected IN
this city for some time, and attention
has often been called in the Gazette to
the danger certain thoughtless people
incur by riding bicycle with little
children perched on tho handle bars,
Nov that the narrow escape ef a little
ore from serious injury By such prac-
tice has again directed attention to the
diversion. it is sugge sted by some that
the code be swelled by work OF sr,.
pererogation by the passage of an ordi-
nance iorbidding such pastimes in
future. As has often been said, there
lis law enough 90 the subject, and
should the police enforce the statute
which makes the indulgence OF any
pastime dangerous to the participants
or others a misdemeanor, the Police
Court would doubtless play its part tc
satisfaction.
