married inside of six months. He took
her home to the little Maryland town
that had not seen him in years.
Ten years passed before James
Brood put his foot on the soil of his
native land. Then he came back to
the home Of his fathers, to the home
that had been desecrated, and with
him came the two old men who now
sat in his huge library before the
cracking fire. He could 60 on with
life. but they we're no longer fit for
its cruel hardships. His home became
theirs. They were to die there when
the time came.
Brood's son was fifteen years Of age

man whom he called father. Up to
the time of the death of his mother,
in the home of her fathers, he had

FOOD FOR LITTLE CHICKENS
skim MIX 10 Especially Valuable foT
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, are 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 1915; lot two 476.5 ounces
The average gain per chick in that
time was: Lot one. 2.75; lot two, 3.95
ounces.
This showed that II skim milk be
added to the ration fed to young chick
ems it 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
a 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.

has been fed to cause bowel trouble.
AS a 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.
III chicks cannot be out of doors
their feeding floor should be covered
with sand, and over this should be
thrown some litter. such as chaf 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 aver 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 a chick
should begin his diet on boiled eggs,
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. II 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. II the chicks
are at liberty, feeding often is not sc
