one OF them evoked any real discus.
sion. That was a letter from Mar
Gus Pollasky, In which he urged the
supervisors to lend their efforts in
behalf Of the opening and extension

FEEDING THE YOUNG CHICKS
Nothing Given Until Youngsters Are
Two Days OId-Whole Grain Fed
at End of Eight Weeks.

By C. E. BROWN, Minnesota Expert
ment StationD
We do not feed little chicks before
they are two days old, but from the
beginning give them water. During
this period the hen is given her food
out of reach of the little ones. The
first feeds are given sparingly every
two hours, and are usually wet
mashes.
After the third day we feed some of
the cracked grains, a little at time
till, at the end of the fifth or sixth day
we are giving the three feeds of the
cracked grain. Occasionally we give a
little whole wheat, and by the end of
eight weeks we are feeding most Of
the grains whole. If the chicks are I'M
able to get worms or insects in suffi-
cient quantities, they must be supplied
with substitute, such as milk or beef
scraps. Green feed is given in the
form of finely chopped lettuce. piece
of potato or turnip or mangel when
they are not able to run outside on the
grass.

MACHINE TO TEACH MUSIC
After-schooI Practice Hours May Be
lightened as Result of New
System.

AS the result of a system of mu-
steal time-recording records for talk
ing machines lately devised by Jules
Louis-Elson of Far Rockaway, N. Y,
the prospect of after-school practice
hours on the piano stool may be light
ened for Juvenile music students.
The principles contained in what
the inventor terms his scenario" may
be interpreted on six double-disk talk
ing machine records, or, the same re-
suit may be obtained in condensed
form by combining all of the musical
counting or time recording on one
record only.
On one side af the record are ex-
amples cited by the instructor in oral
text; on the other side is the oral
count of beats, as. l, @; l, 2, 3; l, 2,
8, 4, etc. A concluding specimen of
the oral instruction text is as fol.
lows: For example, let us take the
Presto form (the record plays II
bars). Now, when you consult the
printed music you will notice that the
quarter, or G (as it is printed, is
barred. This serves to indicate that
one should count in two. The record
now sings as a teacher does the pre-
viously played bars of the Presto, EN-
phasizing the count: l, @; /, 2. Thank
you"

PULLETS FOR LAYING STOCK
One Poultryman Keeps Hens Through
First Laying Year and Then Sc
iects Best for Breeding.

How many years shall we keep a
hen? This question comes up fire.
quently for discussion, and the an
swers made by practical poultrymen
are bewildering to a beginner. One
man says that we should depend upon
pullets entirely for laying stock His
scheme will be to keep the hens
through their first laying season, then
select the best Of them for breeders
and let the rest go. This plan is
based on the general theory that a
hen lays more eggs in her first year
than in any other. Many poultrymeu
seem to believe that most of their
hens cannot come back and give a
profitable egg record the second year.
The system based on this theory de-
mands, of course, a vast amount Of
work in Matching and brooding, in
order to keep up full supply of pull
let's each year. On the other hand
there are poultrymen who say that
we may well keep our hens two, three,
or even four years, provided we have
the ability to Judge the layers prop
erly or have some system of wedding
out the drones. Naturally II we could
keep our hens three years 1t would
mean less work at Matching and brood.

PRUNE RASPBERRY CANES
Object Should Be to Grow Berries, Not
Woody Growth-CIeaning Out
Destroys Many Insects.

Though the two main varieties of
raspberry, black and red. need slight
ly different treatment. the time and
manner of pruning are greatly similar
with both kinds.
The blackcaps do not put out new
growth from the root stalks, as the
red varieties do, but new plants are
started from tips of the old plants.
These are bent over and covered light
ly In August. after which they send
out rootlets and can be taken up the
following spring as new plants. to be
set out where they are needed.
These new plants need to be pinched
back to height Of IS inches, so that
they will throw out more lateral
branches These are the branches
which bear fruit. and it is very impor-
tant that they be numerous.
In Edition to this first pruning, the
winter or early spring pruning should
be done to get rid Of the old canes

Few Sailors Row or Swim.

A survivor from one of the tor
pedoed ships says 1--WE had no men
in our boat who could row. had new
er rowed boat before, but can do
so now" The smallness Of the num-
Der of men in our mercantile marine
who can handle a rowboat would
surprise the majority of people, and
those who can handle a sail are an
even smaller band. They get almost
no opportunity of learning. AS for
swimming, very few are experts, and
battalions of them cannot swim a
stroke. Just last summer l sailed
with a British cargo boat Differed by
nonswimmers, and having on board
only four men in all who believed
that, unaided, they could keep them
selves afloat-London Chronicle.

the chicks jump. When the chicks
can have access to an outdoor run
way they will, as a rule, exercise suf-
ficiently so that no artificial form of
exercise need be supplied.
For the first week after Matching
feed composed of hard boiled eggs,
ground shell and all, mixed with five
times as much rolled oats as eggs,
will serve as a good feed. A little
finely ground chick grit and pulver-
lied charcoal should be sprinkled
over the food. Plenty of clean, fresh
water must be supplied at all times.
Sour milk is good if it can be Sc
cured. Finely cracked wheat and corn
should gradually be added after the
first day or two. A shallow box con-
tanning bran should be kept before
the chicks at all times. This should
be given to them on the first day so
that they will form taste for it. A
little beef scrap and cOrnmeal can
gradually be added to the bran.
Constant care, watchfulness and
patience are qualities Of the good
poultryman, and the person who ap-
plies these to the raising of young
chicks is bound to succeed.
Be particular to keep a supply Of
pure water in clean vessels for the
hens, and grit where they can get it.
If hen becomes broody when she
is not needed for Matching do not let
her sit a single day. AS soon as she
begin to cluck shut her in a cage with
Slated bottom and set the cage on
supports where the air can circulate
under it, and the broody fever will be
cooled in two or three days.
Keep the chicks growing. Do not
be afraid Of overlooking them. Make
little yard covered over the top,
leaving openings in the sides large
enough to admit the chicks while pre-
venting the old fowls from passing
through.
In this yard keep feed for the chicks
all the time so they need not go hun
cry minute. The pullet which is
fed literally natures quickly and be.
comes the producer of winter eggs.
If poultry keeper is really interest.
ed, he will soon learn to read instruc
tions and modify them to suit his 10.
cality.

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
Stirring of Soil Helps to Conserve
Moisture - Young Trees Given
Longer Period of Growth.

The apple growers are nearly all
practicing clean cultivation in their
orchards, says a writer in Indiana
Farmer. This indicates that cultiva-
ton is the quickest method of bring
ing young trees to a bearing age and
perhaps it is the best method to pur-
sue in gaining annual crops. From my
own experience and knowledge gained
from growers in all parts of the coun-
try, l am convinced that apple trees
set on rolling or nearly level land will
come into bearing two or three years
earlier if given annual cultivation,
1t makes very little difference wheth-
er the land be intercepted or not,
provided sufficient fertilizing material
is added to grow the extra plants. The
stirring of the soil seems to help in
conserving the moisture and gives the
young trees a longer period of growth
each year than they have under sod
methods It is we'll to remember that
a cover crop should be put in late in
the summer to afford the roots some
protection from the winter cold
When crops are grown between the
trees something should be raised
that can be taken off early enough to
allow for this. In the northern sec
tions, rye or winter vetch is perhaps
best. think it good plan to alter
nate these for cover in the growing
orchard. Farther south there is moth.
ing that can compare with crimson
clover for this purpose. An orchard
handled after this method makes
rapid growth up to the bearing age.
have continued it after bearing, with
the result that some of the trees have
formed the habit of annual bearing
To my mind This is most important.
With the older orchards, sod meth
DDS with the grass mulch and annual
! top dressing of manure produce excel.
| lent results. This means considerably
less work. My experience indicates
/ that cultivation is of value where il
can be practiced with convenience
Where the trees are left in sod, the
grass should be moved and left under
! the trees to hold the moisture. One
cannot successfully take 2 crop of hay
and a crop of apples from the same
land, unless heavy fertilization is prac
tiCed.
