startino with Chickens.

Thousands OF new hOckB OF chick
ems will be started on this spring with
great enthusiasm and still greater ex-
pectations. 1t happens 80 every year.
The nifty or sixty odd poultry papers.
the hundred odd agricultural and hor-
ticultural journals, the several hun
dred poultry shows given each year
by a. many local poultry associa-
lions, the thousands upon thousands
Of established breeders OF pure fowls
the agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations-all Of these agencies
are doing mighty work in their eff
forts to interest all OF US in poultry
keeping.
We believe. with the poets, that
" IT'S better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved" and 1t is
doubly true that any one will be bet
ter OF and have broader outlook, be
nearer what he or she should be, by
having got back into touch with ma
ture through the care of little chick
ems and their parents. II. at the same
time, you have not made financial
success. it will be nobody's fault but
your own. unless you are victim of
circumstances beyond control.
Small hocks of chickens can always
be handled probably by observing
few very simple rules. 1t is only with
great big focks that the odds are
against us. In starting out at this
time Of the year. one can either buy
eggs and hatch them. or day-old chicks
can be purchased and raised, either
with hens or small breeders. For a
person entirely unfamiliar with poul-
try, the ideal scheme is to go to some
poultry raiser and buy from him a
hen with her chickens already
hatched.
Take them home and place the hen
in . good coop that will confne her
in dry, shady place and will permit
the chicks to run out and In at will.
Be sure the ground under the coop

quently.
Dust the hen thoroughly with Per
sian insect powder as soon as you get
her home and repeat in weeks
time, to kill vermin on her and hef
chicks. Feed the hen handful of
cracked corn and wheat twice day.
Start young chicks on barely mois-
tened bread crumbs three times da,
and prepared chick food twice 4

what they will clean up quickly. Sue

SULzER DEFENSE
PLANS COMPLETE
Taking Of Testimony In New York
Impeachment Case To Begin
Early Next Week
RETAINED FOR REBUTTAL
fr0secution Said To Have Held Num-
ber Of Best Witnesses To Rid
die" Tale Of Governor

New York, Oct 3.-The Sulzer de-
Tense plans are complete. With an
arrsy of notable witnesses, including
TIE governor and his wife, Louis A..
eArecky, Joha A. Hennessy, Com
Aaader Josephthal and at least three
Others the defense counted on com.
Diete rebuttal of the evidence Of the
prosecution.
D. Cady Herrick, chief Sulzer coun-
sea. felt confident that the court must
acauit his client. His views were con-
ssrred in by his chief associate, Har-
~ D. Hinman. The case on the part
sf the state was woefully weak, they
claimed.
The prosecution insists that its
ease Is complete, but no attempt is
made to conceal the fact that several
sf what are considered the best wit
nesses we're retained for rebuttal.
They are the men who are expected
to riddle the story the governor and
Mrs. Sulzer will tell on the witness
stand.
It is generally expected on both
sides that the defense will not call
any OF its star witnesses until next
Monday. The plan is to argue the
points one day. devote most of an
other to Humans opening and out
hne Of the governors case and pos
sibly to calling a few preliminary
witnesses to lay the groundwork for
the big star act next week.
It is understood Sulzer, planned to
admit the use of campaign funds for
his own personal account. He will
claim he was hopelessly in debt and
was being press ID by creditors.
Friends told him they wanted to aid
him. He accepted such money as
personal gifts and tried to arrange
hts business so that after he became
governor he would be obligated to
NO one.
His story, it is claimed by his law
yers, will be extremely sensational
and will recite alleged efforts made
TO influence his actions after becom-
ing governor. How far the state will
allow him to proceed along this line
is problematical. 1t Is expected the
impeachment managers will object
to him departing from the recognized
rude affecting witnesses and there
are expected to be some exciting
clashes, as Sulzer, himself lawyer,
Is expected to insist on what he will
claim his lust rights.
