THE CARE
Of Young Chickens Explained
By An Expert
TO A FanCierS Club Of Butler
Township
(ey C. W. montgomery,

To The Butler Township, Knox Co.
Boys and Girls Poultry Club.
MY Dear Boys and Girls:
Some Of you may have forgotten and
lost the letter of advice gave you last
year concerning the care of chicks,
We also have some new members. 80
am sending you the latter of last year
and some additional recommendation
Caring for the Young Chicks
The first two or three weeks of the
chicks life is perhaps the most crit.
ical. II we can get them safely over
this period the balance is easy. Pro-
vide warm dry coop or brooder with
some coarse sand and oyster shells and
the fioor Uttered with chaff or cut
straw. Do not feed till 48 hours or 70
hours old, then a mixture of finely
cracked corn, wheat and oats or a mix.
ture Of corn meal bran, middlings and
ground oats slightly moistened with
skinned milk. For the first ten days
they should be fed to times daily,
just what they will clean up.
Give skimmed-miIk and clean water
to drink. Some vegetable food like
chopped onions, lettuce or grass.
should be given, some fine ground
steamed bone will add materially to
their growth and a little pulverized
charcoal mixed with their feed will be
great help in keeping them healthy.
Should symptom of bowel trouble an
pear give boiled sweet milk to drink
and feed boiled rice.
After ten days dry mash of bran
and shorts should be kept before them
in trays or hoppers and cracked corn
scattered in the litter once or twice a
day Everything about the premises
should be kept clean, clean, clean.
Skinned milk is a great feed for
growing chicks. but the vessels in
which it is fed should be scalded every
day.
Now boys and girls, l want you 70
help me. We are going to start some
poultry work on some of our County
Experiment farms and l want you to
raise some fine pullets for me. Wei
would want them Matched by the mid
dle OF May and want them strong and
vigorous, SO as to be a credit to an
Experiment Station and l could point
With pride to what my boys and girls |
mad done so we could start some boys
and girls clubs in these counties.
Keep in mind our poultry show this
fall and have fine pair of chickens 70 |

ther that it is the duty ofSTimon lodge
as well as all lodges, churches and or.
ganizations to help the "under man."
He further stated that 1t is not the
whole duty of Timon lodge to exist
as a pastime, or to eXemplify the
ritualistic work, but that every lodge
has higher or more noble duty. and
should assist the under man." and
make it easy for him to do right. and
mighty hard for him to do wrong, and
help blot out the suffering that we
must admit exists with the under man.
After the program the remainder of

WHAT'S This?
Electricity From Newark To Supply
Mf. Vernon Consumers
Newark American Tribune)

(NeWark American lflDune)
The Ohio Light & Power Co. will
make the switch on Sunday which
will mean the passing of the old
power plant in the rear of the Sher
wood hotel, and the starting of the
new mammoth distributing power
house on the site of the old Thomas
foundry. For several months there
has been a large force Of men en-
gagged in building the new plant.
There have been several unavoidable
delays which impeded the progress
of the work, but now everything is
shaped up so that all will be in readi-
ness on Sunday next to make the
switch.
One can hardly realize the enorm-
ity of this plant, which will generate
the current and transmit it to Ian
caster, Mt. Vernon, GAINESVILLE, coal
company mines, Crooksville, Logan
and several other cities.
It means much to Newark, as the
name of our city will be constantly
on the lips of residents of those
cities.
Heretofore the cities we're either
without electric lights and electric
power, or generated their own. Now
Newark will do it all.
General Manager H. L. Montgom-
cry and his splendid corps of assis,
tants are eager for the start, and the
ceremonies of turning on the current
will be an event at which the entire
working force will be present.
