OVER MINERAL FINDS

During the past week it has been
learned that a number of northern
capitalists have spent several days in
this section prospecting for zine and
iron in the mountaine nsar Johnson
City. These gentlemen returned to
Johns j. City Thursday afternoon.
after II ending part of this week at
Erwin and vicinity. Reports from
Erwin today are to the effect that
much excitement exists there over
the finding of large quantities of
zine and other minerals there and
many now believe that that town will
at some time in the near future be
one of the richest mineral sections
in the United States.
Tho parties who have spent a few
days at Erwin left this morning for
Fall - anch where zine mines were
at on time operated. They will Civ /,
the situation close attention there
and it is believed that the operations
may be resumed at an early date

FOOD FOR LITTLE CHICKENS
skim Milk Is Especially Valuable FoE
Young Fowls During Hot Weather
Tests at Purdue.

About ten or twelve years ago the
Purdue university station made an
experiment Of two lots OF chicks, the
food, care and treatment of the two
lots being identical except that lot
two received in addition to the food
given lot one all the skim milk they
would drink.
In the beginning Of the test the
combined weight of lot one was 121
ounces In two months lot one
weighed 2975; lot two 476.5 ounces.
The average gain per chick in that
time was: Lot one, 2,75; lot two, 9.95
ounces.
This showed that II skim milk be
added to the ration fed to young chick,
ems 1t will increase the consumption
of the other foods given. The great
increase In average gain was coinci,
dent with the period when the great,
est amount Of skim milk was con,
sumed.
Skim milk is especially valuable as
food for young chickens during the
hot weather and becomes of less i'm,
portance as the chickens grow Older
and the weather becomes cooler.

TrolIope's CluarS,

Anthony Trollope prided himself on
having reduced the writing of novels
and good novels-to something like
a mechanical process, devoting to the
work so many hours day and timing
himself to an output of so many words
an hour. His advice to the literary
aspirant was to glue himself to his
seat and write, but he himself had an.
other source of inspiration.
One wall Of his library was devoted
to rows of little cupboards, or bins,
says the London Chronicle, each With
a separate glass door and filed with
cigars stacked across and across like
timber to allow free circulation of air,
A pointed stud in the wood above the
door indicated the bin in use, and az
soon as any one bin was emptied the
stud was removed to above the next
door and the empty receptacle reflled
from the big chests wh!ch Trollops
obtained straight from Havana.

The Original Incubator.

has been fed to cause bowel trouble.
AS matter of fact they are weak
from lack of exercise, and the appear
ance of diarrhea is only the inability
Of the chick to properly expel its ex.
crements.
II chicks cannot be out of doors
their feeding floor should be covered
with sand, and over this should be
thrown some litter, such as chaff from
the straw stack or leaves from an
alfalfa loft. Place the feed in this
litter. If small quantities are thus
given, and given often, the question
of exercise is solved. Brooder chicks
need more care in this way than do
chicks with hens, but even in the lat
ter case it is worth while to make
them scratch for their food when they
are raised indoors.
The notion is prevalent that chick
should begin his diet on boiled eggs,
bread and milk, or some other soft
food. This notion has probably arisen
from the knowledge that most young
animals cannot digest hard foods. But
when we consider the fact that the
natural food Of the young mammal is
milk, we see why this principle does
not apply to chickens.
Little chicks should be first fed
when seventy-two to ninety-six hours
old. Feed small quantities and as
often as is convenient. If the feed
is buried in deep litter they must
work longer getting it out. The idea
is to have them always hungry enough
to hunt for food, and always a little
food for them to find. If the chicks
are at liberty, feeding often is not so
mportant-three times day would
be sufficient; while If they roam far
in the fields, finding much food, morn
ing and evening feeding is all that is
necessary, 1t is not a matter Of
great Importance just what grain a
chicken is first fed. The important
thing is that they be supplied with a
variety of grain as with casein OF
meat, grit and green food.

(By MRS. A. ]. wILDER,)

(By MRS. A. j. WILDER)
In order to make as great profit as
possible we should use economy In
the production as well as good judg-
ment in the marketing of eggs and
poultry.
The farmer has great advantage
here over the poultryman who has all
the feed to buy and we must not for
get to make the best use possible of
this advantage.
Grit and charcoal can be found and
made on the farm and the expense of
buying these necessary things can be
saved. If there is a creek bed near,
haul gravel from that and place near
the henhouses where the poultry can
find it. Charcoal can be made by TAX
ing the live Goals from the stove and
pouring water over them. They will
Immediately turn to charcoal and can
be ground or broken up into the right
size for the chickens to swallow. Bet
ter do this work out of doors as steam
and ashes will fly from the Goals when
the water is poured on them.
In these ways we can greatly reduce
the cost of keeping our poultry and
1t will pay US to give time and thought
to our work as the profit in the poul-
try business, as in any other, lies be-
tween the cost of production and the
amount received for the marketed
products.
Besides comfortable quarters, the
chick, to thrive, must have exercise,
water, grit, a variety of grain food,
green or succulent food, and casein
or meat foods.
Exercise is as essential as food, and
lack of 1t indicates wrong methods of
rearing. The natural way for a chick
to take its food is to scratch for It, TAX
ing little at time. If small chick
ems are put into a box with a bare
floor and fed from trough, they will
become weak. Many will become
clogged behind with the excrements
accumulating on the down, and 1t is
generally concluded that something

cessful duck breeders will not aver
age losing two in one hundred. Many
people ask: why do my ducks get
diarrhea, why act dizzy, why drop
dead?" II duck gets diarrhea you
are not feeding right; If dizzy, you
are neglecting something that should
be in its feed-not enough grass, meat,
water, or sand. II it drops dead you
have let it get worms somewhere, eat
ing throat worms, or stuffed on too
dry cornmeal, or let 1t get sunstruck.
A duck cannot live under a burning
sun; 1t must have shade and water.
After the ducklings have dried of
in the incubator, and are from twenty
four to thirty-six hours old they are
placed in the brooder and may be
given their first meal, which is the
same as the regular rations they are
TO receive afterwards. This consists
of bran mash made OF two-thirds
bran or coarse middlings, and one
third cornmeal by weight, mixed with
cold water or skim milk.
After the first four days the feed
consists Of cornmeal and bran or
coarse middlings of equal parts, and
one pound in twenty of beef scraps,
The amount Of beef scraps is in
creased until at eight weeks old they
get about one-eighth. A little sharp
sand or chick grit is also mixed with
The mash.
