SAYS MONUMENTS ARE
HURT BY DRAPING

Especial Dispatch TO The Journal.)
SAVANNAH. Ga. May s.-That the
practice of draping monuments with
faEs and bunting is a matter Of ques-
tionable taste. and should be discon-
tinued, is the respectful suggestion
made by Col. Dan Kingman, U. S. A,
OF the corps of engineers, to the
Daughters - of the Confederacy with
reference to the Confederate monument
in the Park extension.
The practice is injurious to the mon
ument and unnecessary, as the placing
of few cut flowers about the base
would serve the same purpose. This
recommendation was made by Colonel
Kingnan in a letter to the society. ex-
pressing an opinion as to whether the
monument would serve the same pur-
pose for any great length of time, as
ii is faking. icolonel Kingman sug-
gested that the sandstone be treated
instead Of. attempting to erect a new
monument. This will be done.

White Diarrhoea Among Little Chicks

s- HE dry chick feed that is now
offered on the market and
Il sold by every .gToceryman is
far cheaper, is nicer to feed and If
it is not too rich with corn your
little chickens will thrive and do
much better on 1t than anything
you can start them off on. If this
little chick feed can not be had,
one OF the next best things to give
them is one part pearl grits, one
part pinhead oatmeal or crushed
oats and a small amount of German
millet seed. This should also have
some find crushed charcoal and
some clean coarse grit mixed with
it. This feed is very good and will
take the place OF the commercial
chick fed to certain extent, but is
not quite so good as the average
feeds that are: scientifically mixed
and have been tried thoroughly and
can be so easily had, and so much
more convenient than something
else that is often used as a make
shift in starting out your little
chickens on the road to their future
usefulness. If their constitution and
system is kept in good order for

L. 7. W., Jacksonville, F1a.-Some
days ago 1 noticed in one of your
articles in The Atlanta Journal,
where it was advisable to give little
chicks a mixture of two parts bran
and one part beef scrap after they
were two weeks old. If 1 remember
correctly il was not stated whether
this was by weight or by bulk, and
would thank you very much to give
me this information, as / am trying
to raise some baby chicks.
L would also appreciate II very
much if you would give me your
receipt for sOre-head, as I under
stand il is quite prevalent here later
on in the summer. 1t seems to me
that 1 recolleot something about one
of your articles recommending a
mixture Of linseed oil and carbolic
acid. but have forgotten the proper
tions.
ANSWER. ..,-
The mixture of bran and meat
scrap can be proportional in, bulk or.
by weight as this is of but little inn
portance; but il is very important
feature in raising your chicks to
see that both the bran and the
meat scrap are of the very best
grade. ttl 5f .+t--
The receipt for sore-head is, to a
pint of raw linseed oil add two 20
three ounces of carbolic acid II you
can get the full strength two
ounces is sufficient. The way, TO test
it and know positively about this,
after applying the mixture, IL the
sore becomes blacEened inside OF 10
to Il hours after applying you have
the mixture strong enough OF the
acid
If you will start feeding your
chickens in June, one tablespoonful
of Epson Salts to every % head once
a week. say on Tuesday morning, and
one tablespoonful Of sulphur to the
same number of chickens on Friday,
in their mash. and continue this
treatment until November, you viii
not have any sore-head to contend

Usually Al is almost impossible

have never seen very many ever

this does not cure him, I don't

refuse to eat and get light.
