IL is generally recognized that early
Matched pullets are required for the
production of fall and winter eggs.
further, 1t is a common experience to
have young chicks fail to make salts
factory development during the heat of
midsummer. These facts have led
poultrymen to conclude that late
hatched chicks are universally un-
profitable.
As a result of his own experience,
DR.. Sanborn fatty disagrees with this
view. He has found ii possible to make
q good profit from late June and July
chicks. and below he gives in detail
the essential points of summer-chick
management. OF course, such late
chicks are not expected to begin egg
production until winter is partly gone.
but they are persistent layers when
they do start, and, everything consid-
cred, form a profitable part of the
flock

ing if she has a chance to come off
when she pleases and has access to a
small grass run. 1t is not enough to
give her a dish of corn, a dish of grit,
a fountain of waterl She needs green
food also, and the growing grass will
supply that. If grass runs are not
available. the green stuff should be
given daily.
Set her where she VIII not suffer
from the hot summers sun, If she is
so warm that she is half off the eggs,
painting for breath, with wide-open
beak, the eggs will not give you many
chicks. and those that hatch will be
of doubtful value
The three weeks are soon passed, the
chicks are out and dry, and then comes
the question of housing and feeding.
Here is where most folks fail.
To raise really profitable summer
chicks one must give them exception
ally good care, good housing, good
food. If you rear them with the hen
that did the Matching, she should have
a small coop that is cool, light, clean
and comfortable, if possible. l would
have the coop a new one, built for use
another spring, but first used for this
brood of summer chicks.
The new coop will have no germs
about it, no mites in the cracks-a

| days. 1t needs to be ventilated. I pre-
| fer a coop that has the front covered
with inch mesh wire netting. This
gives air and sunlight, two most neces-
sary factors in solving the proplem of
| summer chicks. Place the coop on fresh
ground and give the hen and chicks a
clean run. You can not rear good sum-
mer chicks on flth-filled soil or grass
| land. A piece of clean lawn, with ac-
| cess to clump of bushes, with a wire
fence enclosing the whole, makes a
good place for the growing flock. An
other fine situation is under large APP

ability. The hens are non-sitting, and
lay eggs which are rather large in size
with white shells
The chicks are reasonably hardy, in
fact, are much like Leghorn chicks in
this respect.
Lakenvelder fowls do best when
given free range. They are great hust-
lers and foragers. and those who breed
them claim that they will secure much
of their living from the range If given
an opportunity. and thus greatly re-
duce the cost of keeping them.
The breed first came to public notice
about rs years ago in certain parts OF
Germany. Many authorities state that
1t probably sprang from the Campine
which was then largely bred in the
same territory. 1t has since been fairly
we'll distributed over Europe, and spec
linens are to be seen in most of the i'm
portant European poultry exhibitions.
The breed probably reached America by
way of England.
1t has been stated that the Lakenvel-
der originated In or about Jerusalum.
and they have been exhibited as
"Lakenfelders de Jerusalem" This
story does not seem to be founded on
fact and may be disregarded.

Important Factors
Good chicks are seldom reared in
summer without good shade of some
sort. Bushes, trees. buillings-some-
thing is needed as a protection against
the sun. On my own farm the best
place | have found for the raising of
my summer chicks is few rows of
raspberry bushes. This always has
more or less grass in it; an apple tree
stands at one end. A 4-foot wire fence
tight at the bottom, incloses it all
Here the chicks have a roomy coop, en- .
off the grass that / want killed, culti-
vate the soil around the berry bushes,
catch the bugs and worms and feed at
hopper and dish. In this little berry
plantation I keep them till the early
SHOWS of November force me to move
them to winter houses and winter care.
If you have no chicks or hens on your
place, do not be afraid to try out the
rearing of summer chicks, because you
have been told they are without value.
If you have already made a sart in the
poultry line do not try to handle sum
mer chicks where other chicks have
ranged other hens have passed the
winter and spring. Give the summer
chicks fair chance and they will al
ways respond to your care, develop
into good table birds and late layers
and yield satisfactory returns

SALTS &c KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
HARMLESS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS
AND NEUTRALIzE IRRITAT-
ING ACIDS.

Kidney and bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass 1t on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irrltate and inflame. causing burn
ing, scaIding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck OF the blad-
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in avoid
ing it.,
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
tion. While it is extremely annoy
ing and. sometimes very painful, this
is really one Of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces. of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast, con-
tinue thisFfor two or three days. This
willneutralize the acids in the urine
so 1t no longer Is source Of irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
iithia, and is used by thousands of
folks who are subject to urinary
disorders caused by uric acid irrita-
ton. Jad Salts Is splendid for kid |
neys and causes no bad effects what
ever.
