Do not Crowd Young Chicks.

Chicks should not be fed until
they are at least "a hours old. Ma
ture has provided for this by the
absorption of the egg yolk into the
chicks abdomen just previous to
Matching 1t is essential that this
feed be digested and assimilated
before any other is given. Many
people hurry feed into their crops
before the system is ready to take
care Of it and the result is bowel
trouble and very often death of the
chick. For the first meal a hard
boiled egg chopped fine, shell and
all, mixed with three times its
amount of stale bread crumbs, is
good. In fact boiled eggs mashed
and mixed with three or four times
their bulk of stale bread or cracker
crumbs is excellent for pushing
young chicks along for the first
week or two.-Missouri Ruralist.

Score another point fOr the State
Utilities Board. Up in Jackson
county the telephone companies
doubled the cost of toll services
and placed an unnecessary burden
upon thousands of patrons. A pro-
test was filed with the board at
Jefferson City. A prompt investi-
cation followed and as a result the
companies were forced to restore
the old rates. Without theconsent
of this board, which was created by
the Democratic legislature to take
the place of the railroad and ware
house commissioners, no public
service corporation can increase its
rates in Missouri. It's mission is to
stand between the private citizen
and corporate greed and it is going
to save millions of dollars and get
better service for the taxpayers of
the State. The first month after its
organization it collected almost
enough money Missouri corpora
tons to pay the salaries Of its men,
bers for one year.-Bulletin.

the Means Of Giving His Views in Preventing
the Dreaded and Costly Swine Plague

west of Batavia about four miles, has
bad some experience with hog cholera
that he has no desire to repeat. Al
though he appreciates the value of the

heavier than he cares to pay for such
knowledge. The expense to this young
farmer included the loss of twenty-siX
hogs, twenty of which died before vac
cination and six afterwards. as well as
the cost of vaccinating his herd.
The loss of the hogs did not deter
Mr.. Giltner from making tests to
demonstrate the value of vaccination
as a preventive of the cholera among
his hogs. He states, however, that all
persons who raise hogs for the market
should vaccinate, but 90 it before the
animal becomes infected In the six
hogs that died after Treatment, one of
them swelled at the place where the
