DIFFERENT COLOR OF CHICKS
Downy Covering Of Many Of Purebred.
Is Opposite to Hue When Fully
Covered With Feathers.

Those who buy eggs of certain
breeds of black fowls, having no ex.
perience with the breed, often write
back in wrath to the firm from which
eggs were purchased. declaring they
were cheated, as the chicks Matched
from the eggs were nearly all white
or more white than black in thu
color.
The downy covering of many of the
purebred breeds is different in color
from what the full-feathered covering
VIII be. For instance, the whittier the
down of the chicks of some black
breeds the blacker that chick when
grown; the grayer the down of a new
ly Matched White Rock the winter ~
will be when grown.
1t is the same with some breeds of
white geese; they come out of the
shell as gray as mice, but that color
all departs.

MIXTURE FOR PASTURE
Variety Of Seeds for Securing

Plan Outlined for Permanent Sod That,

Instead Of seeding timothy alone,
the following mixture is suggested.
per acre: Timothy. ten pounds; red
clover. eight pounds; alsike. two
pounds; orchard grass, four pounds;
Italian rye grass, five pounds; English
rye, four pounds; meadow fescue, four
pounds. Such a mixture will give a
heavier hay crop and hay of better
quality than timothy alone, and when
left as pasture will afford a much
greater quantity of forage throughout
the growing season besides being ear
lier. Kentucky bluegrass will usually
come into the pasture Of its wi &C
cord but can be FASTENED by seeding
about five pounds with the mixture
mentioned above. IL the grasses men,
toned above are not available, then a
mixture of twelve pounds of timothy,
eight pounds of common red clover,
four pounds of mammoth clover and
four pounds of alsike may be seeded.
The grasses should be seeded in the
fall with the winter grain and the
clovers in the early spring when the
frost goes out, or both may be seeded
together with the spring grain. II a
grass-seed attachment to the grain
drill is not available. the seed Lay be
mixed in the proper proportions with
the grain in the grain box and al

paper. On account of his wide experience

The construction of modern bunga-
lows has established a characteristic
style OF architecture that is especially
or typically American. II has often
been said that there is no American
style of architecture. but such re-
marks date from earlier writer's and
should be revised to meet strictly
modern conditions. The possibilities
of bungalow construction are extreme
ly interesting to men of moderate
as well as to those who are
about to build extensively or expen-
sively.
The modest bungalow shown in the
accompanying illustrations represents
an easily built dwelling that a carpen-
ter with little experience can handle
with credit to himself and with salts
faction to the owner. At the same
time it possesses considerable artistic
merit and there is an air of home COM
fort about it seldom found, even in
more expensive houses. The effect is
due in great measure to the sensible
profile and the well-balanced proper
tons of the building. The wide pro-
lection of roof, the style and grouping
of the windows, the front and side en-
frances, the pitch Of the roof and the

fowls digestive system every time.
The sour milk should be kept before
them at all times, but placed in such
a manner that they are not apt to get
into it and get it dirty and filthy. The
pan should be cleaned and scalded
every day and reflled as often as il
is found empty.
The results obtained from feeding
sour milk TO the chicks in this manner
for the first ten or twelve weeks of
their lives is marvellous to a person
who has never tried 1t. 1t gives them
a good start on the road to growth
and development. and II they do not
get started right they become stunted
and remain undeveloped birds through
life. Another important part sour
milk plays is that the flock will devel-
op more evenly, adding increased
health and vigor. Do not use it in
place of grains or mash feed, as these
also fill their place.
The laying hens need practically the
same kinds of foods as the growing
stock and our milk being high in pro-
TEN. aids greatly in building up eggs
in their bodies. 1t tends to keep all
the organs in their system in working
order. The meat scrap should be re-
duced in the mash when sour milk is
being fed. 1t should never be fed
when it has reached the point where
1t has a bad smell or is nodded. and
keeping the milk ans and feeding
pans clean will mean a great deal
along this line.

and the quality Of the meat is superior
to that of the larger breeds. 1t Is
generally believed that so-called beef
breeds are better for beef production
than dairy breeds or scrubs. A com

beef breeds. The comparison in "is-
