Avoid Cold Floors

Chicks need "a reasonable amount of
heat. "A temperature running to
more than 100 degrees is very weaken
ing, and chilling is just as bad. Ninety
to ninety-iive degrees is the correct
temperature for newly Matched chicks.
III the brooding device is put i'm a
drafty place, or upon "a floor that is
likely To be cold, the temperature in
dication Of the brooder thermometer
is not sufficient evidence that the
chicks are actually getting that degree
OF heat. Cold floors should he avoid
ed. The ordinary floor of IA barn or "a
poultry house or any unheated build
ing is too cold for the .brooding of
chicks.
If the chicks must be brooded in
such "A building make little plat
form four or live inches high and in
closed on four sides. When this is
set up on the floor and litter is scat
tered round ii to take up the rise "a
good dead-air space is created under
the chicks. and a dead air space is "A
very excellent nonconductor OF heat
or cold.
You will save lot of loss by run

TO see that it is heating and regulating
rightly.
The first thing to do upon receiving
day-old chicks, if they have travelled,
is To give them a drink of fresh water,
not too cold. Then put them under
the hover for few hours and let
them get over their excitement TO
every twelve quarts of drinking water

cent solution of carbolic acid. This
acts as a germicide and will minimize
bowel trouble and white diarrhea.
The first feed for the chicks should
consist of bread crumbs moistened
with sweet milk and squeezed out well.
None should be left round To sour and
cause bowel trouble. Therefore give
this feed in shallow dishes or pans.
and remove them after the chicks
have eaten.
The next feed should consist Of
hard boiled eggs chopped up, shell
and all, with bread crum bs-about
one-fifth the bulk should be egg. This
food should be given about every three
hours and water should be kept be-
fore the chicks constantly They
should be encouraged to take some

DO not overfeed. Give only what
the chicks will eat up greedily in ten
minutes. Feed the bread land egg

these pans when the time is up. AT

deep-litter method of feeding chicks.
Briefly. this is to mix into the scratch
ing litter about a quarter of a pound
of chick feed for each chick. The
chicks will know that it is there and
will exercise and scratch for il as their
systems need il.

The writer had the opportunity Of
comparing two orchards just ut fruit
picking time last year, and the con
trast was one that will be long re-

out at the same time, were of equal
extent, eight acres. and at the start
both had the same show. The varieties
were all good, only a few rows Of Ben
Davis were planted in either, and the
location was as favorable i'm the one as
the other, but one orchard produced
about two hundred bushels Of apples
of very ordinary quality many being
wormy and not large. while the other
yielded $500 bushels Of tine appearing

stored for the advanced prices that he
anticipated in late winter

scatters broadcast 400 pounds acid

growing richer in spite of the large
crops of fruit that are produced. The
man who will make a study of the

Preserving Eggs at Home

AS | am "a subscriber To this paper.
will you please send me recipe for
preserving eggs; one which will keep
the eggs perfectly fresh for eight or 10
months y. NJ.
Many recipes for preserving eggs
have been tried with more or less
success, but best results are secured
with two. Neither of these, however.
is as good as cold storage. Their chief
use lies in their application to home
conditions. They are applicable where
eggs are cheap i'm the spring but rise
considerably i'm price in the fall. Eggs
preserved by them can be used for all
cooking purposes except boiling. In
order to boil them without cracking
the shells, a needle hole or two may
be made i'm the shell to let the air
escape. The quality is good provided
the eggs were fresh when put down,
and especially so If they are not fer
tile.
The prime requisites for success in
keeping eggs by these recipes are,
first strictly freshl or new laid eggs,
and second. a cool, dark place. The
eggs may be laid i'm a stone jar or
wooden tub where no metal Is eX-
posed on the inside. After almost fill
ing the receptacle with eggs, the So
luton is poured over until every egg
is completely covered, preferably half
an inch To an inch deep with the
solution.
Another mixture Of lime is made by
using the following proportions of In
gradients: To each pound OF fresh
stone lime add a half pound table
salt and four quarts boiling water. The
lime is first slaked with a little of the
water so il will break down In
crumbly mass before the balance of
the water is added. Water is added
i'm half cupfuls at time, until the
breaking down is complete; then the
mixture is stirred until OF the con-
sistency OF cream, when the balance
OF water and salt may be added. Stir
ring Is continued until the salt Is all
dissolved. This process is done the
evening before the solution is To be
used In the morning after the sedi-
ment has settled, the clear liquid Is
siphoned off and poured over the eggs
III IL is desired To sell eggs stored
by either OF these methods, price
OF about cents lower than the cur
rent market price can usually be Sc
cured Whether n safe business ven
ture or not is a different point. No
one should attempt IL on a large scale
until after trying IL experimentally;
first. for home use. and second, for
limited market demand Doubtless
neither method can compete with cold
storage where the eggs are held at
temperature of % to 80 degrees

He tried to tell the story of what
the Germans had done to the Belgian
army.
"But ! want TO know. your majesty"
suggested French in effect, what the
Belgians did to the Germans?"
The King explained the battle as
best he could, carefully answering
the question of the English leader as
to what effect the Belgian fighting
seemed to have on the Germans. The
King was discouraged. With his army
broken up, il seemed to him that the
Germans had only to continue their
advance in order to take the last re-
naming inch of Belgian soil.
But General French kept to the
theme of what the Belgians had done
to the Germans. At last he said :
Your Majesty. Collect your army
again and go back to the User. From
what you have told me / am led to
believe that the Germans have suffer-
ed so greatly that they will not be
able to attack you again or try TO
continue their advance for at least
two weeks"
The King did as General French had
advised him. Within ten DAYS he had
collected his army and got them into
trenches along the river The Germans
did not attack. as French had surmis-
ed. The English general. with his
extraordinary knowledge of warfare
had measured the amount of fight the
Germans would have remaining after
the battle and his guess as to when
they would regain their strength was
exact, almost TO the day. for it was
not until twelve days had passed that
the Germans made another try at the
Belgian lines.
