Monday Eve.

The Arrival of Kitty" is the
title of play that will be staged
at the opera house on Monday,
July II, under the auspices of the
United Brethren church. This
promises to be one of the best
dramatic treats of the season, as
the local thespians have been
hard at work perfecting their
parts. The play is one of those
dramatic treats which but a short
time ago made such a big hit in
the larger cities of the country. 1t
had nearly four months run in
New York alone.
The play will be interspersed
with several musical selections by
musicians of the city. Following
is a program of the musical num-
bers which will be rendered.:
Mixed quartette: Mrs. o. C.
kucheman, Mrs. A. E. Swan, l..
B. Westby and AIRY Burt.
Reading. Grace McVay.
The Beach band will render
music for the occasion.

of the city as anyone could wish.
DR.. Foster and his band of twen-

share to the amusement. On the

excursionists. Accompanying
them was the fast base ball aggre-

Upon their arrival the Beach
visitors were assigned their places
in the parade. which started at
pm. The parade was more
than ordinarily interesting. The
Beach crowd was led by Mayor
Brinton, who was, as we'll, one of
the officers of the day.
Following him in the parade
were the different base ball clubs,
the Beach band and other attrac

carnival company which has been
showing at Dickinson during the

The base ball game between
the locals and the fast Dickinson
team began shortly after the pa

Profitable Business of Poultry Raising in America

means at hand. Keep them away
from the chicks at night. Make use
of dog, gun and traps.
Accidents may take their toll, but
most of these may be prevented.
Swinging doors, falling boards, un-
covered water pals do their work
effectively If given chance. But
none of these are necessary. ANY
loss from such sources is due to care
lessness.
Small chick doors leading from
house to yard are also troublesome
at times. II the chicks in the yard
are suddenly attacked by cat or
hawk, or If heavy rain comes on
quickly, the youngsters will hustle
for cover. Reaching the narrow
doorway they will jam into and block
it, many being bruised and other
wise injured, while the rest are held
outside, to become victims of enemies
or weather. The remedy lies in hav-
ing roomy doors through which the
whole flock can quickly pass.
The observant poultryman who
studies his business and keeps his
eyes open will be constantly observ-
ing little practical points like the
last. If he then permits accidents"
to happen he has only himself to
thank.
As the chicks get old and strong
enough they will begin to disregard
the brooder, squatting outside the
hover and roOsting on feed troughs,
etc. Immediately put in some low
roosts, strips Of wood elevated but
few inches above the floor. The
stronger individuals will soon make
use of these, and presently the whole
brood will be found there at night.
The work of the brooder has then
been completed and the chicks are
ready to 60 to the colony-house,
where they will be carried to ma
| turity.

Only Worse.

A Philadelphia school teacher has
lately been instructing her pupils in
Grecian mythology. 1t is the plan to
have the children read the tales
aloud, and the next day recount them
in their own language. One lad, to
whom was given the assignment to
render in his own language the story
of the Gorgons, did so in these
terms:
THE Gorgons were three sisters
that lived in the Islands of Hesper-
ides, somewhere in the Indian ocean
They had long snakes for hair, tusks
for teeth and claws for nails, and
they looked like women, only more
horrible" Pittsburg Chronicle

shielded against draughts, dampness
extreme fluctuations of temperatures
and the many enemies which beset
them. Or, to reverse this, the house
should be dry, freely ventilated with
out causing direct draughts, light,
sunny, cheerful and roomy. Prowling
rats, cats and skunks may be baffled
by having properly constructed floors
and openings covered with close
meshed wire netting.
The floor should be dry earth COW
cred with fine litter, as chaff, cut
straw or hay, or similar material. If
made of boards or cement, layer
of earth may be put on. A lively
chick does enjoy having plenty OF
dirt in which to wallow, and when
this is provided there will be less
trouble with dry feet and shanks.
Preliminary Operation.
Operate the brooder for few days
before putting the chicks under it.
Learn just how to manage it. Study
it until you know how best to regu-
late the heat and care for the lamp
or fire.
Have the hover warm enough.
Rather provide too much heat than
too little, provided the chicks have
liberty to move out to cooler place
Remember that they have been In an
incubator having a temperature OF
about 100 degrees, and sudden
drop is harmful.
At first the hover temperature
should be from 95 to 100 degrees
After five or six days reduce 1t to 80
degrees. Continue to reduce 1t slow
ly as the brood develops until heat Is
no longer required.
This temperature should be regis.
tered by thermometer having its
bulb but three or four inches from
the floor not considerably above the
chicks. This Is an important point
Use warm baskets or boxes tt
carry the chicks from incubator te
brooder, especially when the weather
is cold. 1t is an easy matter to chill
the tender youngsters and when this
happens trouble follows.
Place the chicks under the hover
so they will quickly learn where tht
heat is. They will soon begin to come
out and inspect the strange world ir
which they find themselves, running
back to the shelter Of the hover wher
alarmed or uncomfortable.
Put up low fence or partition o.
some kind to hold the brood neal

Do not be afraid to ventilate tn,

giving air, but avoid draughts at all
times. The building should never
be hot and stuffy. Any objection
able odor is always the sign that
more fresh air is needed. Let it in!
Sunshine in the brooder-house is
most desirable during the months of
Winter and Spring, and it Is an easy
matter to admit 1t. Durig the hot
season 1t is usually best to shade the
windows to keep the sun out, since
1t is desirable that the house temper
ature be then kept as low as possible.
| Always bear in mind this fact--the
chickens must be kept continuously
! comfortable. Give them warmth and
sunshine in cold weather, protect
them against too much of these dur
| ing warm weather.
Keep the brooder and house clean.
Not somewhat clean, but actually
clean and sanitary. Remove the ac-
cumulated droppings at frequent in
tervals, especially under the hover
Replace the soiled litter as circum-
stances require. The house cannot
be too clean, but 1t may easily be-
come too dirty Keep on the safe
side.
Get the chicks out on the ground
as soon as possible. After settled
Spring weather has arrived they may
be permitted to run out in their
yards when four or five days Of age
Early In the season, while snow lin
gers or the earth is wet and muddy
they must be kept in the pens until
somewhat older But let them out
as soon as it is safe to do so. They
will grow better.
Some Mortality Expected.
No matter how carefully the
brooder Is attended to, some loss
must be expected. 1t is the duty oI
the poultryman to keep such loss a:
low as possible by learning what
dangers exist and then avoiding
them.
The machine Is not always respon
sible for all deaths among the chick!
placed in 1t. The mistakes made II
caring for the breeding stock, the
use Of weak breeding birds. improper
incubation, all may manifest them
selves by mortality among the chick!
and obviously the brooder canno
correct these.
Sudden changes in the broodel
temperature, chilling or overheating
frequently cause much trouble. Thi'
danger may be avoided through thu
use of temperature-regulating de
vices and careful attention.
Avoid Chick Diseases.
i Diseases may be kept away, Il
least the majority of them, by main
tanning good sanitary conditions
; Enemies must be fought by ever.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-03-26

The broodipg system is. perhaps,
the most important part Of poultry
plant equipment. Chicks must be
raised each year, md faulty brood
ing appliances frequently cause such
loss that little or no profit can be
secured, no matter how carefully the
plant is operated in other respects.
The following hints from Professor
Stoneburn will prove helpful to any
enc who Is now struggling with this
most important problem.

Durability and Simplicity.

Of course, durability and simplici-
ty are desirable also, but efficiency,
convenience, safety and economy are
primary considerations.
In the space available it is not pos
sible to discuss in detail the relative
merits of the various types of brood
ers. The majority of poultrymen are
today using either the lamp-heated
hovers or colony brooders, and the
proper management Of such machines
will be outlined below. These direc-
ti0ns will apply to either, II the diff
ference in their size Is borne in mind.
The house in which the brooder is
operated should be tightly construct
ed. Baby chicks are tender. They
need constant comfort and protec-
tion. Therefore they should be
