cannot attend college can study at home. Tn sthe correspondence courses the stu dents carry on their studies at their farms and the work is directed from the col leges. By this means man or boy in the widest part of the far west or the south may get an education in farming or fruit growing. There are 3o,OOO stu dents now studying that way, and this number will be increased to hundreds of thousands in the future.
 The various extension schools are car ried on by farm lectures and in other ways. The movable schools consist of grown-ups who gather together for fixed periods at certain places and are taught by experts furnished by the colleges and by the Department of Agriculture It Is advised that the classes consist of not less than eight nor more than 15 persons who are over IS years of age and who are espe- ciaIly interested in the subject of which the course treats. The courses deal with home economies and with all sorts of farm topics.
 The Experimental Stations and Agri-
 cultural Education
 And just here I want to speag about the c,ireau of experiment stations and the wonderful work they are doing along edu. 
 partment of Agriculture is under the charge of pr. A. c. True. who has devel- oped 1t to such a degree that it's work now reaches every part of the country.
 It Is of enormous value in it's research work and it's exhibitions of practical az rculture. and it's educational work affects every man, woman and child in the United States. This bureau has to do in an ad- visory way with the agricultural colleges. At.- ..4., the colleges, and some of the officers are teachers therein. Tt does much in college extension work, and 1t is now sending out every year about 24OO0. 900 copies of bulle- tins containing agricultural information.
 The bureau of experiment stations deals also with the formers institutes, a branch of which is under the direction of Mir. John Hamilton. the farmers institute specialist There were more than 5Oo0 of these institutes which had regular meet ings last year, and they reached over

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-06-15
(By Jas. h. Rice)

The chicks food for the first day is
wisely provided for emergencies. The
yolk, which is enclosed within the
body of the chick few hours before
1t leaves the shell, contains enough
food to last for several days. I'm
doubtedly this yolk material is as i'm
portant in regulating the digestion of
the chick and in preparing it for
other foods as is the colostrum of the
cows milk for the calf. Therefore,
all food should be withheld for twenty
four to thirty-six hours, until the
chicks indicate by their actions that
they are ready to eat. They should
then be given fine, hard light colored
grit, cracked grain, and little wheat
bread which has been soaked in milk
until it will crumble. Sloppy or pasty
food must be avoided. For the first
few days the food should be fed on
shingles or plates which can be re-
moved and frequently cleaned. Later
it should be fed in. little wooden
troughs. Larger troughs should be
supplied before the chickens become
crowded. There should always be an
abundance of feeding space in order
to prevent the stronger chicks from
running over the. weaker ones.
Feed FIVE times daily for first two
or three weeks; after that, three times
a day. For the first three weeks food
should consist largely of small or
cracked grain, such as cracked wheat
cracked corn hulled oats or oatmeal.

of grit, listen to the little chickens
when they are asleep under the hover.
One can distinctly hear the rubbing
of the grit as it grinds out the grain
while the chicken sleeps. If the grain
remains in the gizzard until it is
softened and fermented before it can
be digested, because grit has not been
supplied, the result is an unhealthy
or a dead chicken.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-06-15

their first feathers, one feeding day
of soft food should be given. in place
of johnnycake. Some ground food
must be given if rapid growth is de-
sired, in order to produce early market
broilers. At this age and for this
purpose the feeder can take chances
on overlooking for short period.
Johnnycake is a rich, stimulating
food, and is more easily digested than
the whole or cracked grain; therefore
it should be fed with good judgment.
1t must be thoroughly baked in a
"slow oven,'' and broken up in a
crumbly condition when done. In
completely baked, pasty johnnycake
is a dangerous food to feed little
chickens. 1t may be made in various
ways; the bulk of the mixture, in
any case, is cornmeal. The following
is satisfactory recipe: Mix thor
oughly parts (by weight) of corn
meal, l part wheat bran, l part wheat
middlings. Take quart of sour milk
or buttermilk, 6 eggs, teaspoonful
of soda. Into this mix the meal until
it forms a stiff batter; then bake thor
oughly
A more stimulating and rapid grow
ing ration can be made by adding boil
ed eggs to the crumbled johnnycake,
but greater caution must be used in
the quantity given and the number OF
times it is fed daily. The infertile
eggs are the ones which are used for
this purpose. They furnish the
most desirable form of meat food for
little chickens, except, possibly, pot
cheese. If the supply of infertile
eggs is insufficient, the best grade
of meat scraps can be used in the
johnnycake. Green, cut bone can be
fed in place of the chopped hard boil
ed eggs A little green, cut bone is
particularly desirable in any case, be.
cause of the large amount of easily
digestible bone material it contains,
this being particularly necessary for
growing chickens.
When the chickens are a week or
two old, whole wheat can be substitute
ed for cracked wheat. soft, ground
feed mixture can be used in place of
the johnnycake. A good ration for
the purpose consists of four parts 10y
weight) of cornmeal, l part wheat
bran, l part wheat middlings. l part
ground oats, l part best meat scraps,
l pound of salt. Two pounds of char
coal should be added to 800 pounds of
meal mixture. This ration should be
mixed with skinned milk or soup
made of boiled vegetables and bones
from the butcher. Whole wheat and
cracked corn, equal parts. should be
fed night and morning.
The fine siftings from the cracked
oyster shells, and fine, light colored
grit are placed where the chickens
can help themselves at all times. In
order to understand the Importance

This grain they will grind out during
the night, and, by the activity of the
gizzard, will furnish exercise for the
body.
Animal food of some form is neces
sity in rearing chickens. Some kline
of meat should always be provided il

rapid growth. Green, cut bone, boil
ed meat, or both, will take the place
of boiled eggs or of pot cheese.
Some form of green food should b,
supplied. This should be given from
the start if possible. Glover, alfalfa
chopped beets, onions or onion top.
are all excellent. The latter may be
looked upon as tonic, and should
therefore be fed more sparingly
Clean grass is the most satisfactory
green food. 1t should be provided by
moving the coops or brooders to new
ground where they can have new
clean run and fresh grass. Land il
cheap; fresh air and sunshine are
still cheaper; therefore, give the
chickens plenty of room. Give then
field by themselves away from thu
hens. They will grow faster and dc
better. A young orchard, or even {
corntield, makes an ideal place fol
chickens.
The common error in feeding youni
chickens is to pamper and overfeeC
them. Chickens have a quick, active
digestion, which, it continually graft
fled will result in a very rapid growth
as long as the digestive system car
stand it. Then they Ego to pieces
because they have been 'fed off theil
feet" as is said. Gout, loss of ap
petite, enlarged liver, etc., result
This statement is not intened to en-
courage insufficient feeding. Chick
ems frequently suffer in this respect
also. They must be fed with COCO
judgment, according to their appe
tites. They should be compelled tc
hunt for all their grain in litter OF
chatf and sand on the brooder floor
until they are three or four weeks old
If they are not hungry enough to dc
this, food should be withheld unit
they will scratch for it. Young chick
ems should be kept in such a condi
ton of hunger that they will come
flying for their food. They should
then be fed enough to satisfy then
and then come hungry for the next
feeding. Chickens will not grow
quite so rapidly for the first few
weeks under this system of feeding
as they will by forced feeding, but
the mortality among them will be fal
less. After the chickens have grown
