Seventy-fve farmers in Crawford
county, Ohio, maintain flocks of pure
bred poultry to supply eggs to the
cooperative hatchery located at the
little town of Trio. At present this
hatchery is turning out $4,000 chicks
a week to various parts of Ohio and
other states. The hatchery plant is
so constructed as to permit the plac-
ing of two rows of incubators, which
are 800 feet long with a capacity of
5000 eggs. The heating is done by
hot-water boilers, which automatically
keeps the temperature at one hundred
and three degrees. Before being put
in the incubators the eggs are care
fully tested for fertility.
Sour milk is utilized in one of the
best possible ways by feeding it to
chickens. Those who think they get
greater returns by feeding it to hogs
should remember that the flesh of
chickens brings at least twice as much
on the market as that of hogs. Milk
and corn are both liked by chickens,
and 2 proper mixture of the two
makes enc of the best and most APP
petizing rations for the season when
the days are warm and the nights
cool. For the best results, the corn
! should he cracked and soaked several
hours in either sweet or sour skim
milk or buttermilk. The corn may be
put in pals in the morning and the
milk poured on until the top of the
corn is submerged two or three inches.
| When this has been absorbed. more
should be added at intervals during
the day, and the mixture will be ex-
cellent for feeding by night. A lib
eral supply of this ration will keep
the chickens growing rapidly and in
sure their being constantly plump and
in excellent condition for the market.
Try it once, and the fowls will tell
you whether or not they like it. Try
it two weeks or a month, and they
will show you whether or not it is a
good and economical feed.-A. c.

lives in a Bohemian environment
and works when the spirit moves;
that art is apart from things in
general: that il Is for privileged
few who can AFFORD to acquire pic
lures and sculpture and other art
objects. Today the word Art is used
Unfortunately without much re-
gard for it's true meaning. 1t is not
uncommon to hear some such ex-
preston as this: Il know nothing
about art but I know what ! like
The tone and manner of the person
who utters such unwise expressions
must always be considered in inter
preting the words. They may in
dicate anything from profound regret
for personal ignorance to supreme
contempt for aesthetics and all who
assume to talk on such subjects.
THE word Art is derived from the
Greek root A. r. II means fitting and
