To give 1t other things to eat at this
time would upset the whole plan OF ma
ture, and retard, instead OF promote,
the chicks growth.
The first food of the little chick
should be oatmeal-the steel-cut, IL
you can get 1t, and that is not to
be had. the ordinary rolled oats will
do If well crumbled in the hands
This should be given about every two
hours for day or two, gradually
frightening the time between feeds
until they get Il three times a day.
Put a shallow dish of clean water
where they can get it. II they want
TO walk through it, turn a teacup bot
tom side up in the middle of the
dish.
For the first two or three days they
will want to sleep and rest much of
the time, and will nearly live in the
brooder. After that theg will be ready
to begin active operations. They will
now want to be let loose In the run
for most Of the day, IL it can be set
where it is warm. Leave the brood
er where they can go into it when
they get chilly.
After the third day begin to give
them prepared chick feed with their
oatmea' Increase the chick feed and
decrease the oatmeal by degrees. I'M
I'll when they are ten days old they
get the feed alone.

as anything you can make. 1t should
consist OF a variety Of seeds and
grains cracked fine enough so they
can readily pick them up. Besides
this, they will need plenty of water,
grit and bran where they can get to IL
all the time. Mix a little pounded
charcoal with the bran, to keep the
digestive organs sweet and prevent
fermentation
Do not "fuss with the chicks. See
that they are clean. dry, have plenty
of feed and water, and let them go.

but especially for the tender babies.
The feed should be given in a deep
litter OF char. 1t is as natural for
a chick to scratch as it is to eat.
The exercise they get in digging out
the grains is worth as much as the
feed itself.
Never give any moist food. It is
likely to cause bowel trouble. Dry
grains make the natural food of any
feathered fowl. and they will take In
what moisture the system demands
IL water is left where they cen get
to 1t. Grit is, of course, a neces-
sity for grinding 1t, and must be fur
nished right from the start
When the feathers begin to start,
the chicks will need a little extra
nourishment, and of different kind.
They must have a certain amount Of
animal or meat food. Where they are
in a wild state they provide them
selves with bugs and worms, but the
domestic fowl must have this fur
nished.
The best thing to give for supply
ing this element is milk Il may be
given either sweet or sour. but for
the small chicks the sweet milk is
best If this is not to be had. give
a small allowance OF beef-scrap,
watching the bowels to see that they
do not get too loose.
Feather-making is a great draft
upon the system. and must be met, or
the chicks will weaken and die.
Plenty OF the right kind OF food. ex-
ercise. cleanliness and fresh air are
the great factors in success with
young chicks. II these principles are
kept in mind, you should have little
to fear from disease.

SPRAYING POTATOES

Why Be Unattractive?

Woman's World: Go and look in
the mirror, and ask yourself frankly
if you are as nice looking as you could
be. If your hair is thin, it is no ex-

tight knot on the top of your head. If
your skin is salloW and full Of black
heads and pimp1es, you have beer
neglecting yourself. If you are too fat
or too thin. or your clothes do not look
pretty on you, do not give up hope.
What you really need is a cold shower
bath to awaken you to activity. You
can be as attractive and charming as
the friends you envy.
But perhaps you think attractive
ness n charm are not a part of
beauty. They are SO much a part that
they are beauty in themselves. Ere

you are willing to try for them.
You a acquire good habits, you
know. as well as bad ones. Brush your
hair and comb 1t every evening. Give
your scalp a good massage, and give 1t
