LEARN TO FEED PROFITABLY
Most Difficult Period in Feeding Starts
With Baby chicks--Good Mixture
for Dry Mash.

Profitable feeding is something
every farmer and poultryman must
learn. Without it the most vigorous
chicks that were ever Matched could
not develop into standard, mature
birds. The most difficult period in
feeding starts with the baby chicks.
II stunted when small, it is "runty"
forever; If fed and cared for properly
when young it can rustic for itself
to limited extent later.
The baby chick should never be fed
until forty-eight hours old, and then
a mash of coarse bran and charcoal
mixed with hard-boiled eggs is all ii
will need for two or three days. After
the first few days it may be fed mixed
grain five times daily, and the mash
of bran and eggs three times daily. A
good chick ration may be had by mix.
ing ten pounds cracked wheat, ten
pounds cracked corn (sifted) and ten
pounds, steel cut" oats. The dry
mash is made up of ten pounds bran,
ten pounds shorts, five pounds corn
meal, five pounds meat scraps and two
and one-half pounds charcoal. Feed
sour milk If available, giving chicks
all they will consume.

BOOSTER FOR BETTER ROADS
Cost of Transportation Of Produce to
Market is Lessened-Dltch, Drain
~, and Drag Roads.

Good roads not only cheaper the
cost of Transporting farm produce to
market, but make the country a de-
sirable place to live in.
We hear much talk about federal aid
for good roads, yet if we wait for
this movement to crystalline into a
reality, the people of the country will
be riding in mud for some time to
come The thing to do is to take of
coats and buckle into plan for local
road improvement Be a booster for
the grading of roads and follow up the
work with the King road drag for
maintenance.
The principle of all good roads in
al States is the same, viz, keeping
the water out and off Of the roadbeds.
Ditch, drain and drag the roads. This
is the tripod Of good road building.

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Scarcely Secondary to Rail Transpor.
tation In Their Far-Reaehing e.
feet on Civilization.

The two great necessities Y o.
modern life are education and trans
portation, for civilization travels in
the wake of good schools and good
roads. Good roads lead in more good
directions than the most far-seeing
can contemplate. Commerce begins
on the country roads and byways;
they affect school attendance and lit
eracy; they control markets and
prices, values OF land, the develop
ment and contentment of the people,
the cost and pleasure of living. and
are scarcely secondary to rail trans
portation in their far-reaching effect.
They determine the character and
growth of the community, and the
necessity for them cannot be overes
timated. for a country that isn't worth
a good road isn't worth living in.

projecting far enough above the pipe
to hold the roosts in position. The
roosts are made as usual and are laid
on the pipe without fastening, thus
making it easy to remove them for
cleaning, etc. The pipes need not be
over three-fourths of an inch in diam

in 1912, the brick-paved highways av-
eraged $14,650 per mile and the mac
adam highways $3.50. In California
the first $50 miles of the state system
of highways cost an average of sS,-

of thin concrete with a thin coat OF

Boring Holes in Glass.

The simplest and safest way to bore
holes in glass is to use copper or
brass tube, quite thin, of the size of
the hole Bore hole in a small block
OF wood about one-quarter Of an inch
thick-hole to fit the tube loosely.
Fasten the block TO the glass with
beeswax, 20 that the hole corresponds
with the required hole in the glass.
Insert the tube in the hole and pour
emery-No. 90-and water into the
tube with a spoon. and turn the tube
back and forth with the fingers; or a
little grooved pulley may be put on
the tube TO work with string. in
which case center should be placed
at the upper end to guide the tube.
In this way a hole Of any size, from
one-eighth Of an inch to an inch or
more. may be cut through ordinary
window glass In a few minutes.

MAKING MONEY FROM SQUADS

Unless Birds Are Kept Free From
Insect Parasites.

There is very little chance Of max.
ing money from squads unless through
cleanliness pigeons can be kept com
paratiyely free from disease and III
sect parasites. The stock should be
carefully watched and any sick birds
removed from the breeding pens The
house should be kept dry. clean. well
ventilated, and free from drafts. The

sand or gravel or by cultiyating the
land and planting II to grain il pos

STORMS CAUSE HEAVY LOSS
Telephone Lines First to Suffer From Bad Weather and First to
 Regain Efficiency.

Little RoCk-That Sleet and wind storms cost the telephone companies millions of dollars every year was stated recently by S A. Lane, division commercial superintendent of the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele- phone company in Little Rock Ac- cording to Lane. the amount of dam age done by even a slight storm is surprising. Repair work following a fifteen-minute electrical storm often costs several hundred dollars.
 X windstorm struck lola, Kan. re gently and blew down whole sections of telephone lines. Several of the poles were broken off and stood on their heads
 A pole line at TeXarkana, carrying the Texas long-distance lines, was re- gently demolished during a storm
 Superintendent Lane estimated that in the United States last year the tele. phone companies spent eight million dollars to repair damages done to the telephone lines by storms and floods. The last big storm in Kansas cost the telephone company over $25o,0oo fol reconstruction work.

PHONE COMPANY PROTECTS ITS
 WORKERS.
No Charge to Employees for Insur- ance Against Accident, Sick
 ness and Death.

Newport.-J A. McMichael, Iineman of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company, who met with serious accident last March while on his way to repair a telephone line in this city, is receiving semi-mOnthly allowance amounting to one-half his regular pay. This allowance is paid by the Employees Benefit Fund estab- lished by the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company. Without one cent of expense to employees, fund of $33, 900 has been set aside to meet payments under broad plan cover ing accident, sickness and death bene- fits
 MCMichael received full pay for thirteen weeks, and will receive half pay until he is able to resume his work. The maximum time for the half pay benefit is set at six years.
 Another employe who is now receiy- ing payments from the fund is II. s. Queen of Earle, Ark, who fell from a pole last June and broke his arm. Like McMichael he received full pay fer thirteen weeks and will continue to receive half pay until he has re- covered from his injury Queen was in the service only nine months when his accident occurred.
 The fumilg of another telephone worker in Arkansas received $2.4o0 following his death. which occurred while in the performance of duty.
 This life insurance is another fea- lure of lbe Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone eompaay's benefit plan Dependents of employees who have been engaged in the business for i've or more years are entitled to one years salary, not to exceed 5000, in ease of death from natural causes. If death results from injuries received while at work for the company the amount is increased to three years salary, not to exceed $5,000.
 The benefit fund also provides for pensions for employees who have served from twenty to thirty years. The lowest pension is S20 per month.
 The Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone companys benefit plan is considered one of the most liberal now being followed by any public utility in the country.
