Little chickens stand In Z class b.
themselves in respect to their rapidity
OF growth. A baby under normal CON
ditions should double its original
weight in about one hundred aud.
eighty days, while chick should dou-
BILE It's. original weight in about six
days, This rapidity of growth on the
part OF chick naturally indicates
wonderful power for digesting and as.
similating food, and in order to supply
this requirement relatively large
amount of food should be plDvided, OF
an easily digestible nature, and con
tanning the necessary nHtritive princi
pies in somewhat concentrated form,
Carbohydrates, protein and ash con-
stituents are the three great classes
of nutrients which must be provided In
liberal quantities for growing chick.
Any OF the common grains like corn
or wheat, contain plenty Of starch and
fat to supply the necessary amount Of
carbohydrates required Grains, how,
ever, do not contain enough protein
for best results and consequently
something should be included. stnethe
ration rich in heterogeneous materials
or protein. One of the best materials
that we have for this purpose on the
average farm is skim milk or butter
milk. Milk is rich in the materials
necessary for building up the muscular
system of the chick, and 1t also con-
tains large amount of ash constitu-
. ents required by the chick 10 build
up It's skeleton. There is nothing bet
ter suited for this purpose. In fact,
milk is elaborated by the COW for the
express purpose Of supplying nutFi.
ment to build up the bones and tissues
Of her calf, and when milk is skim
med only the fat contained in it is re-
moved, and when skim milk is fed to
chickens in connection with the ardi-
nary grains, the deficiency in respect
to the fat is made up by the starch
which is usually present in large
amounts.
Not only Ii sour skim milk or but
termilk ideal IN respect to Its compost
ton as a food for little chickens, but 1t
has been found that 1t is one Of the
best remedies known where there Is
any trouble from White Diarrhea. 1t
seems to correct any diarrheal tend
ency. the Tactic acid germs present in
the milk seeming to have the power
to overcome the White Diarrhea or
ganisms present in the digestive sys-
TEN of the chick, thus preventing the
disease.
If incubators are used, it is a good
plan to save the unfertile eggs, boil
them thoroughly and use them for
feeding the chicks until the supply is
exhausted They should be ground,
shell and all, and mixed with. corn
meal, bran and middlings, so as to
form crumbly mixture. This should

be fed once-a day and when the ii1,
fertile eggs are used up, this mixture.
or mash, as 1t is called, can be mois.
tened with sour milk. In addition to
the egg mixture, it is a good plan
to provide q dry mash for the little
chicks right from the start This
mash may be fed in little dat, which
is merely box with sides about one
inch high, into which the little chicks
can jump. The mash is put In this
box and it Is a good plan To cut
piece of wire netting and lay on top
of the feed SO as to prevent the chick
ems from scratching it out and vast
ing 1t. This mash may consist pf equal
parts of corn meal, wheat bran and
middlings to which say about 40 per
cent of beef scrap is added. # should
pc fed in such quantities that the chick
ems are not compelled to eat 1t up
clean, some remaining In the box after
each days feeding. That which re-
mains should be removed every morn
/ ing, fed to older fowls, and fresh
supply provided, This gives the chick
ems an opportunity, to certain extent,
to balance their own rations as they
will pick out those particular parts OF
the mash which they like best and
which best meet the needs of their
systems for growth.
In addition to the mash provided,
as outlined above, it is a good plan to
scatter chick feed in the litter that
covers the floor of the breoder, This
chick feed may consist Of small
pieces Of. cracked corn, cracked wheat,
pin-head oatmeal or millst seed. When
this mixture of small pieces OF grain
is scattered In the litter, It Induces
the chicks to take plenty Of exercise,
and exercise is essential If the chicks
are expected to make a rapid growth.
Just as soon as possible the little
chicks should be allowed ito get out
on the ground, because then they win
provide themselves with green stun
and other mat arials necessary faI
their growth IL incnbat tors and breed:
ers are not used. 1T is 4 rood plan ~
put the mother hen In q coop ana keep
her shut in until the chickens are
weaned, allowing the chickens til have
free range, This is a laborrsaY wing de-
vice and greatly simpliaes the rearing
! of little chickens.
! To sum up the whole matter. Feed
little chickens literally on 9 ration
which contains plenty of the materials
suitable for growth. Sour skim milk
| or buttermilk when fed along, with .
suitable grain such as corn or, In the
case OF little chickens, corn meal or
cracked corn, will furnish all Of the
necessary materials for best develop
ment. If skim milk is not available
then it will usually be necessary to
provide beef scraps In order to have
sufficient protein and ash constituents
| In the ration.

Remaining the Same

If you wish to keep pretty com- pleyion, without either gaining or losing flesh. partake daily of clea, soups, but taboo the socalled cream" soup There is no objec- tiOn to oyster or clam broths, as they are excellent, The same can be said of all meat and vegetable broths. In the latter case, however, do not take out the vegetables whe,l serving unless you wish to lose weight
 Do you enthuse over "a cup of tea?" Yes? Then drink all you want of this beverage, but remem Der that you must dispense with sugar, cream and lemon. If you must eat something while sippins your fragrant tea, choose unsalted crackers in preference to the usual bread and butter.
 The following days menu will neither add to nor detract from your weight
 Your breakfast should consist of grape fruit, some dry cereal, piece of thinly buttered toast and a cup Of coffee.
 For luncheon you should take a cup of bouillon, piece of lean meat (meat makes muscle, not faD and the tiniest bit of potato. A lettuce salad is also permissible, served with French dressing.
 The dinner is fit for queen. It consists of a small portion of oyster or clam broth, roast chicken, beef or mutton, baked potatoes and spin ach. Unsugared sliced oranges will suffice for the dessert Coffee. cheese and crackers complete this meal.
 Be obedient and eat to order and you will keep an average weight. If you rebel and indulge in sweets you will grow stout If you go to the other extreme and eat acid fruits, pickles and vinegary connections you will grow thin.

How To Tell
 An Eggs s Age

With ,ggs the precious things their high prices made them, it is important for every housewife to know a simple and accurate method of testing their freshness.
 There is no better indication of an egg than its density. eggs that float being a bad investment All you need to test eggs that are under suspicion is a glass of water, into which you drop them one by one, while you watch closely how they behave.
 \ fresh egg will sink when placed in water and rest on it's side; If three weeks old it will incline slightly with the small end down; if three months old il will stand on the small end, and if older it will float, with tIse large end out of the water more or less. according to it's age.

The egg is placed on wire holder at the bottom of the instru- 'ment and placed in water.

IN CASE OF FIRE.
q (, . o q o q . (, q [. . z, o

What would you do if your clothes caught fire? Did you ever stop to think that question out carefully? The majority of women and children run screaming out-of-doors where tte air fans the flames. There is usual ly just one result of that-a terrible one.
 Did you ever instruct your child ren what to do for themselves in such case, or what to do for others? There's only one safe way, and that is to smother the flames. To avoid inhaling the flames, the victim should drop or be thrown quickly to the floor, or upon a bed where the bed clothes can be made to do efficient work in smothering the fire If there is nothing of the sort about there is more chance by rolling on the floor and wadding the burning clothes under you than by any other way. The fatal thing is to run, and thereDy ran the flame
 Tell the children that. Allow them to have fire drill occasionally They will make great fun out of it. but it may some time mean the saving of life through knowing just what to do and being able to keep their wits It is panic that causes much of tie loss of life in fires. Fire drills at school and at home lessen the danger of this. Drill them for such an emergency as being caught upstairs at night in burning house. Teach them how to go through binding smoke with safety. Then if they ever meet with such an emergency they may act from force of habit, if not in cool thoughtful ness
