might find them without delay? 1t
must be no conspicuous place, where
O'Hagan would be apt to happen upon
them; doubtless the janitor was trust
worthy, but still Misplaced
opportunities breed criminals.
1t was all risk to leave the treas

nickeled-steel walls and timelocks;
but a risk that must be taken She
dared not retain it longer in her pos
session; and she would contrive a way
In the morning to communicate with
Maitland and warn him.
Her gaze searched the area where
the lamplight fell soft yet strong upon
the dark shining wood and heavy
brass desk fittings; and paused, ar

If 1t could be traced, that is to say.
"Oh!" she cried, softly. And laughed
a little. '"Oh, how careless!"
Fine brows puckered, she pondered
the matter, and ended by placing her

lifted the other exactly
How he must have wondered!

No need to conclude the sentence.
Quickly she placed bag and case
squarely on top of the impression, the
bowl over all, and the book upon the
bowl; then, drawing from her pocket

one across the book and, head tilted
to one side, admired the effect,

Time pressed, and A cloud dimmed
the radiance of her eyes; irresolutely

We have found the best method of
feeding to be what is termed hopper
feeding. Practically all the feed is in
the dry form. For small chicks up to
eight weeks old we have never found
anything which will put on more
growth than the high-class grades of
commercial chick feeds
For the first few days I sprinkle
the smallest sizes of this feed thick
ly where the young chicks are, so that
every time they pick they get grain.
AS soon as they begin to come out
side the coop, which is in two or three
days, all the feed is placed in hop
pers made on the same general prin-
ciple as our larger ones.
Many farmers neglect to furnish
their chicks with meat food. This is
essential If one wants to get the prop
er amount of growth. 1t is best sup
piled in the form of beef scraps. Don't
get cheap scrap. The best balances
the ration so that you will get the
best possible benefit from the grain
feeds.

chicks can help themselves. They do
not eat more than they will need. The
feed hoppers should not be allowed
to get wet or the feed is liable to
spoil. Good hoppers and little care
will prevent this. The feed is always
clean and there is always feed ready
when the chick is hungry. How
much better than for the chicks to
60 around half starved for several
hours and then when feed is finally
thrown out to them they will gorge
themselves.
We have often been able to get
from the baker a lot of stale bread
(not moldy). This bread usually sells
at half price or less and is about as
cheap as the commercial chick feeds,
pound for pound. This bread is
soaked in milk and then squeezed out
dry and fed to the chicks every day
or two as an extra feed. 1t is one
Of the best growers one can get.
1t does not pay to feed cheap feeds
or sparingly if one wants to make
good profit out of their poultry. 1t
is a mistake to think that poultry can
pick up its own living during the
early spring months unless one has
Charlevoix county herald., 1911-04-22
Food for Poultry.

Every month during the winter sea-
son the poultry building should be well
supplied with clean straw, leaves or
litter of some kind, into which the
feed is thrown in the morning to keep
the hens busy.
The fowls will need plenty of green
stuff from now until grass comes-cel-
cry tops. cabbage. cut clover or ground
alfalfa.
They must have some meat substi-
tute for the worms and bugs which
they will get on the range later-beef
scraps, green cut bone or meat meal

When a person has become discouraged
through years of failure to find a cure,
and finally, perhaps, gives up trying. IT
Is small wonder that he becomes skep-
teal. And yet, to all who have con-

We wish you would try Dr. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin, a laxative tonic that has
been used for a generation. Thousands
are using 1t; surely some Of your friends
among the number. You can buy ii of
any druggist at fifty cents and one dol

name and address to DR.. Caldwell for a

enough to convince you of its merits, and

a very small drove. If they have
to feed to go to when they fail to
find plenty by foraging they will gain
in size much faster
AS the chick grows in size the larg-
er size of chick feed is used. Along
about harvest time we begin TO place
wheat, whole or cracked, in one Sec
ton Of the hopper; in another, crack
ed corn, in other sections, beef
scraps, oyster shells, charcoal (chick
size), and dry mash composed OF
equal parts of bran, middlings and
ground oats.
Oats is one of the best feeds one
can give chicks for growth, but it Is
hard to get in suitable form for feed
ing to poultry. One of the best meth
DDS is to sprout it. A pail of oats is
covered with water and allowed to
soak about twelve hours. In winter
we use water which is heated and
just cool enough that you can bear
your hand in 1t; in summer. cold
water. After soaking, the oats are
poured out into trays two feet wide
and three feet long and two inches
deep. The bottoms of these trays are
made of galvanized one-fourth-inch-
mesh wire screen. We start buck
etful of the oats everyday piling the
trays on top of each other until We
have four or five.
Meanwhile we must thoroughly stir
the oats in each tray every day and
wet with water The oats will, no
doubt, heat some; and this makes
them sprout fast, but If they have a
tendency TO get too hot, cold water
could be used to keep them cool. BY
the fourth or fifth day the sprouts are
perhaps one-half to one inch long.
For summer feeding when the stock
can get plenty of grass they will eat
the oats readily at this stage and it
is as good a growing feed as can be
obtained. The sprouts are very good
for early chicks that can get no grass.
In feeding for growth and early de-
velopment, remember that the best
feeds are the cheapest, and that plenty
of clean feed of such variety to pro-
duce balanced ration, and plenty Of
pure water, will make you more profit
than if the birds are scantily fed and
allowed to stay in filthy quarters and
pestered by lice.

Perhaps Not

An instructor in a church school
where much attention was paid to
sacred history, dwelt particularly on
the phrase And Enoch was not, for
God took him." So many times was
this repeated in connection with the
death of Enoch that he thought even
the dullest pupil would answer cor
rectly when asked in examinations:
State in the exact language Of the
Bible what is said of Enoch's death.
But this was the answer he got:
''Enoch was not what God took him
for. Life.
