FEEDING BABY CHICKS

tBy PROF, JOHN WILLARD Ror ~,

stances. OF course the eggs mnst ~

with good eggs the hen can pract;oam.
tend to the whole job without asS;a.
ance, and the modern incubator ~
quires but fifteen minutes attentinn
daily.
We have placed twenty-one studer+,
in charge Of as many incubators ond
they Matched twelve hundred chickens
from less than fourteen hundred Rbodol
Island Red eggs, and not one of tbooo
students had ever run an incuhator
previously.
Matching out the chicks is reaIlv
about the simplest part of the pouItryl
business. As soon as the chicks ARD
Matched we are confronted with tho|
most difficult problem of the business
and that is the handling of the chicks
from the incubator stage until thew
are feathered out This is the cruciaI
period, and it is the Waterloo of pracI|
tically every large, and a great manY
small, poultry farms. We are aImosti
certain to raise the chickens to a mar
ketable age if we can only keep them
alive and growing strongly until thew
are fully feathered.
The one factor that kills more
chicks than anything else is wrong
feeding. On these two factors, heat
and feed, depend the success of any|
flock of young chickens.
Really the feeding question is veryI
simple if one will only be satisfied to|
stick to proved principles and stop
experimenting. The ration for grow
ing chicks must be a complete ration.
that is, it must contain, in proper PROD
portion, sound grains, green food
mineral matter, animal matter, grind
ing material and plenty of clear,
fresh water. The proportion of each
varies with the age and size of the
chick. 1Vrile many varieties will give'
good results, perhaps the best ration
which we have used under city COM
ditions is the following:
First week-Rolled oats and bread
crumbs five times daily, on clean sand
or boards.
Second and third weeks-Pinheadl
oats, fine cracked corn, millet, three
times daily, scatter in dry hay-mow|
litter or clover chaff.
Fourth, fifth and sixth weeks
Hulled oats, cracked wheat, coarse
cracked corn, three times daily in'
litter.
Beware of tainted or moody feed \
and if any wet feed is given use the
smallest possible amount of water
If milk is fed let it sour and mix
with mash. Move the chickens before
the ground gets sour. not afterward. !
Dust frequently for lice.

HEADS BANK BOARD.
WILSON SELECTS RICHARD OIL
NEY, cLEvELAND,s SECRETARY
OF STATE, AS GOVERNOR.
ACCEPTANCE IS EXPECTED
Paul Warburg, Formerly Of Kuhn,
Loeb e Co. Of New York, Also to BE
Appointed a Currency overseer-
olney Has Had Notable Career.


Washington, May president Will
son on Monday completed the roster
of the federal reserve board which
will inaugurate the operation of the
banking system provided by the re-
Gently enacted currency law.
The president has invited FIVE men
representing different sections of the
country to form the board, together
with Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo and Controller of the Currency
Williams.
The five selections are:
Richard Olney of Boston, former sec
rotary of state
Harry A. Wheeler Of Chicago, mer-
chant and banker.
Paul Warburg of New York, banker.
w. P. G. Harding of Birmingham,
Ala. banker.
DR.. A. G. Miller of San Francisco,
authority on finance.
Although the president has offered
the governorship to Mr.. Olney, word
OF his acceptance was still awaited.
Friends here were inclined to believe
he would not decline.
The ambassadorship to Great Brit
ain was offered to Mr.. Olney early last
year, but he expressed an unwilling
ness to leave the country because of
his business interests.
Although Mr.. Olney is seventy-eight
years old, he is active, and has had a
long experience in the business and
financial world, which the president
and his advisers believe would espe-
cially qualify him to be head of the
reserve board
Mr.. Warburg, who was connected
with Kuhn, Loeb & Co., has accepted
the offer Of membership on the board
Formal announcement of his selection
as well as that of the other three
members of the board, besides the gov
ernor, is expected to be made within
the next two or three days, as offers
are being made to the men whom the
president has selected. 1t is under
stood that southern banker is to be
one of the three, but no intimation has
come as yet as to his identity.
With the selection of the IL regional
reserve banks, the organization of
the board has been the most vital
step in the operation Of the new cur
rency law. The banks are being or
ganized and the expectation of officials
is that within another month the en-
tire system will be in full swing, al
though there are some transitions
which will occupy greater time.
The complete board will consist of
seven members at salaries of $4,000
a year. The secretary of the treasury
and the comptroller of the currency
are ex-officio members, and the five
other members are appointed by the
president. The law stipulates that the
members should be appointed with ref
erence to the geographical, CONNER
cial and financial divisions of the
country"
With Mr. Olney representing New
England and Mr. Warburg New York,
it was expected that the other mem
bers to be selected would represent
the South, the middle West and the
far West.

SUFFRAGE COLUMN
BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE

TO those who believe in the philos.
ophy that anything be true if 1T
works" it is worth while to hear
that Equal Suffrage does work II
the states where it is now being
tried. However, it is not enough to
learn from general heresay that it
works." we want to know who
says so.
Now we have in u own com,
munity an old citizen of Miller, who
is now living in California. a state
where Suffrage works" Mr.
Thomas Trythall says so and hat it
has been beneficial to the state of
California. He SAYS that the women
have cleaned up politics out there,
and that it is the better class of
women who vote. not the inferior,
He says, also. the women are better
organized than the men for the IN
derstanding of political work and
that when he and his wife and
daughter went to the polls to vote
they knew more about it than he
did.
This testimonial from Mr. Trythall
surely should bear weight with our
citizens here who know and respect
him.

A Live Tax Commission

Pierre, S. D, Sept. pa dis.
patch from Logan. Iowa, states that
negligence on the part of the assessor
in attaching his affidavit to the rolls
resulted in f. G.. Taylor and Harri
son coantv losing out on a tax sale
deed for a large realty holding at
Woodbine,"
Inquiry as to whether such a loss
could be sustained in South Dakota
for a sin liar reason revealed the
fact that before the 1914 assessment
was made, the tax commission made
an investigation Of conditions along
this line. AS a result of this inves.
tigation, a complete set Of assessors
returns was prepared and instruc,
tons were issued in regard to the
attaching of these certificates to the
returns. Auditors were instructed
to refuse to file assessment book!
not containing q proper assessors
affidavit
The assessment of 1914 was legally
made and the tax sale is very likel'
to stand in so far as assessors re
turns are concerned.
There is growing convection il
this state that an active tax commits
sion is a protection to all classes o
property besides insurlng an equit
able distribution of taxation, some
thing that was impossible under tn
old methods of ass assment.

The German-American Alliance

Inc Ell
The German American Alliance of
South Dakota, which met in annual
convention at Flandreau last week,
while declaring their sympathy for
Germany and Austria IN the present
war, were reasonable in their reso-
lutions regarding the position of the
United States and made no attacks
upon the American press for simply
giving the news reports received
through censored channels. More
than 500 German residents of South
Dakota attended the meeting. Fol
lowing is their endorsement of the
neutrality program of the United
States:
I'VE are truly thankful to Pres
ident Wilson for his earnest effor'
to preserve the strictest neutrality
of the United States. We have con
idence in our national government
that nothing will be done or toler
ated to be done by American citizenl
which might give advantage to an,
one of the warning nations over thu
others.
