WINTER LAYERS ARE
THE BEST LAYERS
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights ReSey0edO

A dust bath is the source Of much en-
loyment for the little chicks, as well as
the older birds. and will aid materially
in your fight to keep down the lice.
The chick begins to develop about IL
hours before the egg is laid But unless
heat is then applied, equal to that of the
/ hens body, the development ceases.
Let the spring Of 1915 be the beginning
of your poultry new year. Start le year
right, and you will keep right through
out. Make good resolutions and keep
! them.
A vigorous male bird is attentive to
about a dozen hens under ordinary con
ditions, and if kept on free range or what
is commonly termed at liberty, he will
attend to almost twice that number. But
for the best results, have found it wise
to mate one male with only about eight
females
Don't illtreat the broody hen simply
because you have laid down on the job
and are not prepared to give her the set
ting OF eggs she so mucl desires. Re
member, it is a natural trait OF the hen
to become broody with the approach of
spring II you are uuprepared deal with
her gently, and busy yourself to perfect
your arrangements that her wants may
be cared for.
With the dawn of spring there is much
to be done about the poultry plant for the
health aud salty OF the birds. This is the
one season when the lice and mites be
come active. All houses and nests should
be thoroughly renovated. cleaned and
disiniected in an effort to keep both the
birds and their quarters comparatively
free from this form of pests Fight them |
continually is the slogan results. Re !
member, this is one of the greatest of the |
essentials for the successful raising of
poultry.
By all means be prepared for the prop !
er care of the chicks when the matches |
come off. II this paIt of your spring work |
has not been attended to, see to 1t that
you get busy at once and have the brood
ers ready for use when needed.
AS the days of summer come on and
with them the chicks, remember that it
is highly important that some sort of
shade be provided TO give shelter to the
little ones from the scOrching rays of the
hot sun. II this is not attended to many
Of the youngsters will keel over and be
lost. Fruit trees make excellent shade in
the poultry yard or run, and in addition,
supply you with delicious fruit. Ii it is
impossible to have trees, then provide
some sort of art fria shade for the pro
lection of the chicks.

QUESTIONS And ANSWERS

Q Would YOU please advise me how
to Iced vouug chicks?
A Young chicks are indeed hard to
care for, particularly if they NAV be
Matched by the artificial method of incu
baton (the incubatui) and are therefore
without the care Of mother hen. The
method of how To properly feed young
chicks is one that has been written upon
in these columns manv times, and various
wavs have been suggested for the purpose.
The writer, however. has had remark
able success with the following method !:
Don't give the chicks any food whatever
during the fret SO hours of their exis-
tance. They may, however, be given
scalded milk thar las sufficiently cooled
so as not to burn them. After the lapse
of 36 hours, or when you begin feeding,
give them mixture Of grated stale bread
crumbs, mixed with one grated haId
boiled egg, shell aud all. aud moietened
with a little scalded milk Don't make
the mixture sloppy, but simply moisten
sufficiently to CAUSE the particles of the
mixture to clIg together. One hard
boiled egg is sufficient TO mix with cup
ful of bread crumbs
After about 10 days OF such feeding
give the yOuhg-IriS good scratch food !
which contains up oyster shells. IL is |
far cheaper TO bn, oyster shells separately !,
than to buy it Il with the gain and |
pay the price OF grain for it. After 10
days, or when YOU begin the feeding OF
grain food give water to drink in place
Of the scalded ~ K, but into each qnari
of drinking Wa'er put eight drops of
white carboic acc This should be con
tiuued until the chicks are eight weeks
old, as it will eliminate the. dreaded
bowel trouble
When you h,gin feeding the scratch
feed it should b. rsttered in good light
litter, TO permit ne chicks to get exer

from lice and mites

A QUAINT CHARACTER .

! Mrs. S. a wealthy old German lady
living in a certain town in Iowa, on the
banks of the Mississippi is considered the
most unusual character of that small city.
Her appearance may hest be described
bv saving that she resembles the pictures
that We have all seen of witches or gypsy
fortune tellers. She has sharp pointed
chin. a long hooked nose and uses many
gestures, although about eighty two
years of age she is wonderfully nimble.
She has four grown well to do children
but they are of little pleasure to her as
she imagins that they are trying to get
her money. She always has her Ger
man newspapers and other mail sent to
the address of a kind neighbor, she fears
that her daughter in-law (the Post Mis-
tress) might mail her an internal ma
chine
She dwells alone in large tenroom
house though using only two OF these
rooms These two are so crowded with
wood piled to the ceiling and furniture
stacked up etc that in the kitchen there
remains only an aisle around the cook
stove. The window blinds are always
kert down, leaving just space enough
below for her to peep out at persons pass
ing.
She often thinks that some one is try
ing to poison her, even to the extent of
poison down her we'll Because
of this, she goes to a kind neighbor for
her water until she can have her own
well cleaned out again.
The fastenings on her doors range from
lo-ks down to the common
hook. Besides these, at night she draws
1er bed up to the door as a further pro-
ection against robbers. She appears to
lave all sorts of vision in respect to rob-
)ers. This causes her to draw only ten
iollars at one time from the bank.
She also has a mania for taking things
lot belonging to her. One day at store
he took can of peas and hid it under |
Ter cloak. The clerk, observing her, !
ommenced speaking about having to |
lump that whole case of peas into the |
liver. as they were poisonous. Mrs. S.
autiously backed around and deposited
he can in the case. She then quickly
eft the store.
The fact that she is a pioneer resident
( that town causes the citizens to pay l
tile attention to her peculiar actions.
Last Xmas day one of her sons stopped Il

HISTORY OF ATHLETICS IN MILFORD HIc
SCHOOL.

Milford High School has for the past
| four years taken quite an active part in
the school athletics of the state The
class of nineteen hundred and eleven were
the founders of Tennis Club and Base
! Ball Team both of which have been kept
up to the present time.
In 1912 an athletic association was
formed by the boys of the High School and
basket ball team organized which from
that time to the present has never proved
great success so far as winning games
is concerned this probably was due to
the lack of proper coaching.
Last year when the girls basket ball
team was introduced as favored sport in
the athletic world, the High School girls
formed an athletic association, and or
ganized a team of this character which
proved itself to be an equal match for
any similar team on the peninsula.
This year athletics are very much on
the decline in our High School. The bows
basket ball cam was unable to last through
the season for various reasons. The
girls team has kept up its good reputa-
ton throughout the entire season, hav-
ing lost Only two games. We hope to be
able to organize a baseball team this sea-
son even though the proper material for
doing so seems to be limited.
Our Tennis Club which has always been
a large source of amusement since its or
glnzation will be unable to use the court
at school, as the School Board has decided
to give the play ground to the lower
grades while school is in session Not
being able to use the school ground will
not discontinue the Tennis Club though, !
for Mr.. Holland has granted the lot for
merly occupied by the Chautauqua to the |
Club for this use, and it will probably be
made ready at once.

SPRING VACATION.


Heretofore only two vacations of more
than one day have been given one, al
Thanksgiving and one at Christmas.
This year there will be in addition to
these just mentioned one Immediately
after Easter.
Vacation after the winter months OF
work will afford an agreeable rest to both
teachers and scholars. The pupils will
be more diligent and energetic when they
return, and more desirous of getting
better marks and passing with higher
averages.
Bessie Vibbert, '16.
THE ADVANTAGE OF A HIGH SCHOOL
EDUCATION.
A high school education or a more
advanced education is almost necessary
in every day life.
As a boy grows older his necessities
increase lie wants money and he has a
desire to drop out of school and go to
work, while his education has really just
begun. More boys drop out of school in
he seventh and eighth grades than in
my other grades.
When a boy reaches the eighth grade
lie says, 'Oh well little good Latin and
German will ever do me, and 1 have
tudied Mathmatics and can learn no more !
n the high school, But there is still |
to learn. The course in Math- |
natics in high school is much more
dvanced, and very different from that
# the grammar school, and NAV prove
lelpful and useful in every day life. But
here are History and Science and Eng
ish also, all of which are important.
When a boy who has left school in the
eventh or eighth grades, goes to get a
osition he is just asked about his educa
on, and when he says that he stopped
chool in the eighth grade, he is rejected
5 only the better educated are wanted
evenly five per cent of the unemployed
oday, in the big cities, stopped school in
1e seventh or eighth grades
This is very serious question and one
very foolish to stop school so soon when
few more years of high school training
ould open so many doors of usefulness.

officials admit that Che situation is undeniably serious, kccordiug Co che bankers who are in close touch to che sources of information Germany win contain a suggestion of threatening statements The government wants no more affairs like that of the Gull flight.
 fn this connection il is of extreme interest to hear of the reports that have been brought to New York bankers rom Turkey in the past few days by an American Fiho conversed with the German officers who are di- recting the defence ot che Dardan. elles and of Constantinople. The Amer ican had stated to the German officer that the United States would under all conditions keep his finger out of the pie.
 "Ah;" replied she high German ofti- cer. but we do not ingepd chat you shall stay out We shall force you Into it. No matter who wins this war. we win all be economically ex- hausted, both victor and yanquished. If America can keep out, she will when peace is declared have the trade of the world in the palm of her hand. and an the nations of Europe win be too exhausted to compete against her. That is the reason that America must
