Attention TO CHICKS
WARM BROODER AND PROPER IA.
TON ARE ESSENTIAL.
Eggs Should Be From Carefully Sc
'ected Stock, Well Fed and
Housed to Produce Sturdy
Stock-What to Feed.

(By DR. sANBORN, Holden, Mass. Copy
right, 1914)
There is less fuss in rearing Of
chicks than few years ago. A warm
brooder, some fine litter, cracked grain
and grit, with perhaps a mash con-
tanning ground grain and animal food,
and you should raise 80 per cent of
the chicks.
Every chick deserves to be we'll
Matched, Of sturdy ancestry and prop
erly reared. The eggs should be from
carefully selected stock, well housed
and fed, to produce chicks that stand
adverse conditions. The hen or incu-
bator should do it's part well, as many
a slip Is made between the laying of
the egg and the Matching of the chick.
l prefer the lamp heated brooder to
either the hen or the heatless brooder,
for while some hens do good brooding
and in some seasons you can raise
good chicks with the f1reless brooder,
yet for easy, successful brooding of
SO chicks my preference is for the
heated brooder.
The chicks, when dry, are taken
from the hen or machine and trans
ferred to the we'll warmed brooder
prefer it should be fully as warm un-
der the hover as was the incubator,
then, II too hot, the chicks can be
spread out into the less warm part of
the brooder floor, or if at any hour
the temperature drops the chicks can
retire to a warmer place under the
hover.
What to Feed Them.
At the start the chicks get cool wa
ter to drink and only the food that is
in the barn waste is used to cover the
brooder floor. Really they need no
food, and what they find in the waste
Is plenty. When a few days old they
need light feeding of cracked wheat,
good fish or beef scrap personally
have found nothing better than good
grade of fish scrap added at eight
days of age and finely cracked, dry
corn at ten to twelve days. 1t is i'm
portant that all chick feed be sound,
sweet and clean. Avoid musty corn,
scrap that is fit only for fertilizer,
and stale drinking water. Unless
there Is some grit in the barn waste
that is used for brooder floor it should
be supplied. Chicks need a warm
place to retire to when cold, an open
room to get out into and exercise, as
well as a grass run to range over
when two weeks old. Close confine
ment to hot brooders tends to give
| leg weakness. AS the chicks grow
in age the heat of the brooder can be
reduced to about so degrees. Toe
many chicks are Matched that are
doomed to die because from weak
stock or incubated wrongly, but the
! blame is usually laid on the brooder

HYPNOTaSM FOR THE AiitNG
Famous French Physician Claims to
Be Able So to Cure Many of the
Ills of Mankind.

DR.. BeTtillon. Of Paris asserts that
psychotherapia, or soul-culture, is the
medicine of the future
He does not put his patients into
hypnotic frances, but places them in
an environment which creates an ap-
petite for sleep. He invites them to
repose on their beds and think of
nothing. Then he leaves them, and
they gradually succumb to the tick
tack of a metronome.
When a patient is in a hypnotic
slumber, If it is desired that he shall
be cured Of a tendency to excessive
Indulgence in alcohol, the psychother-
ap1st suggests to him that he cannot
raise glass Of absinthe to his lips,
and repeats the suggestion until the
prohibition is SO engraved upon the
brain that If the patient would he
could not do SO.
DR.. Bertillon is frequently consulted
by those who have had unhappy love
affairs, and it is said that through
hypnotism they obtain release from
their unrequited passion.

VALUABLE HINT FOR FARMER
Droppings From 1000 Fowls, If Prop
erly Cared For VIII Return
Profit of $500 Yearly.

The poultryman or farmer can ma
terially add to the profits of his bust
ness by properly caring for the drop
pings of his fowls. For example, it is
shown that the droppings from 1000
fowls If preserved without needless
loss are worth at least $500 per an
mum, and this estimate Is based on
the assumption that less than half of
the droppings, or only 80 pounds per
hen per year, can be collected
According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected daily,
and mixed with substances which will
CD prevent loss of nitrogen, CT add
sufficient potash ard phosphoric acid
to make a better balanced fertilizer.
and CD improve the mechanical con-
d1tion of the manure SO that it can
be applied to the land with a manure
spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 80 pounds OF the manure add 10
pounds Of sawdust, good dried loan,
or peat, 16 pounds of acid phosphate,
and 8 pounds of ka1nit. Such a mix
ture will contain about 125 per cent
of nitrogen, As per cent of phosphoric
acid, and 2 per cent of potash, which,
used at the rate Of 2 tons per acre
would furnish so pound of nitrogen,
1876 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 80
pounds of potash, and at the present
price Of fertilizing ingredients is worth
about $40 per ton. The mixture would
furnish a wellbalanced stable fertil-
lzer, which, although not fine enough
to work well in drills, can be success.

DOES NOT CAUSE SOIL ACID
Doubtful If Small Amount of Land
Plaster Generally Applied Has
Any Serious Effect.

The fear that the application of
land plaster makes soils acid, is I'M
founded At least it is doubtful if
the small amount generally applied
has any serious and Immediate in
huence upon the acidity of the soil.
This is the belief Of E. B. Hart of
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who from time
to time has carried on numerous ex-
periments to determine the influence
of applying land plaster, rock phos-
phate and other fertilizers to fields
upon which various crop rotations
were followed.
The theory that land plaster ap-
piled to soil would make it acid, is
based on the assumption that the
plants remove from the soil more
calcium than sulphur, thereby leaving
behind a greater proportion Of the
acid part of the land plaster. On the
contrary, it, has been shown that the
common cereals, wheat, oats, corn,
barley and such other plants as the
turnip, rutabaga, cabbage and onion,
make positively greater demands for
sulphur than for calcium and appli-
cations of land plaster for such crops
will tend to make. the soils alkaline
rather than acid. Such plants as
the meadow grasses, clover, alfalfa,
sugar beets and tobacco, use more
calcium than sulphur and in their
case the application of land plaster
would have a tendency toward devel-
oping acid soil. Potatoes use about
equal amounts of calcium and sui
phur, and land plaster could not pos
sibly influence soil reaction in this
case.

The first section of our lesson is the
beginning OF new paragraph (see
R. W and contains one of the Mas
ter's best-known parallels. Immedi-
ately preceding this is the parable of
the unjust judge and the importunate
widow. We are plainly told ". 81
why the Master spake this parable.
1t is easy to say that those who trust
ed in their own righteousness and "set
all others at naught" Or. W were the
Pharisees, but such is not the case;
and this parable is a warning to us,
lest we also trust our own righteous
ness Elsa. $3.50. Using this particu-
lar class as a background, Jesus
paints, in words of simple grandeur,
a picture quite familiar throughout the
ages. In it he reveals the falseness of
human standards and declares the
judgment of heaven. The contrast is
vivid. Let us look at % the Phari-
see. The Illuminating phrase is in the
words HE prayed with himself"
". ~. Ostentatiously the Pharisees
separated themselves from their fell
low men and this separation seems to
have extended even into his prayer
life, and he is withdrawn from God
also. This Is an appalling picture
of the man who trusts only himself.
Examine his prayer and we see the
supposed prayer is really a paean Of
self-exaltation. It is true he begins
by ascribing it to the Deity, but he
ascribes no praise to God, no thank
fitness for blessings received; indeed,
he ignores God throughout after the
Introduction. On the other hand, his
only recognition of other men is that
of contempt for them. He is con-
cerned altogether with his own ex-
cellencies and with the delinquencies
of others. 81 am not as the rest Of
