VALUE OF MILK AS
A FEED FOR CHICKS
Tends to Prevent Mortality From
All CauSeS-ExerCiSe Is of
Much Importance.

The following are the conclusions of
Bulletin No. 80 of the Storrs Conn
agricultural experiment station, en-
titled:
Chickens. Milk Feeding and It's In
fiuence on Growth and Mortality Com
parative Study of the Value of Sweet
Milk and Sour Milk"
The feeding of milk to young chicks
has most favorable influence on the
growth and on the lessening of NOR
tality of the chicks. 1t tends to pre-
vent mortality from all causes, and
If fed soon enough and for a sufficient
ly long period, greatly reduces the
death rate caused by bacillary white
diarrhea.
Sweet and sour milk are apparently
Of equal value in their relation to
growth and mortality. Furthermore,
different degrees of souring do not
alter the results of milk feeding.
The value of milk as a feed for
chicks does not depend upon any acids
that may be present, nor upon any
particular types Of micro-organisms,
but upon one or more of the natural
constituents of the milk.
When milk is supplied freely to
chicks 1t becomes all the more impor-
tant that they have abundant exercise.
This applies more particularly to
early-hatched chicks that are brooded
wholly or for the most part indoors.
The feeding of sweet or sour milk
to young chicks has in no instance
been found to be in any way injurious
to the chicks employed in our numer-
GUS experiments.

The following is a delectable con-
serve never to be forgotten by those

raisins, two pounds of tart cherries,
three oranges, juice and rind, four
pounds of sugar. Chop the fruit, add
the sugar and boil twenty minutes.
Seal in small air-tight jars while hot.
The green Duchess apple makes a
delicious appetizer to serve with meats
by spicing them just as one does any
fruit, only leave the peeling on the
green apples as it adds much to the
flavor.

scribed that it was for the little church
in Illinois and "a gift of the king"
The bell arrived at the little church
in Cascasquia, the Jesuits
called tin 1742.
Brave, hardy folk were those early
French settlers, with few scattered
English. There were the Menards, the
Sauciers, the Vigos, the Lamarches,
the Bonds, the Morrisons and the Ed
gars.
Col. Pierre Menard was the grand
seigneur-the first man" of Kaskie,
and his was the "big house" The
Menard home always was open, and
there the weddings, parties and balls
and fetes were held, and on the grand
occasions" the great bronze bell, four
feet in height, rang out from the
tower on the old church.
At that time Kaskaskia was stu
ated on a peninsula that stretched
south between the Mississippi and the
Okaw rivers. The town lay on a bit
of land known as Ragged island.
From French settlement the town
passed into the hands of the English
and then became the capital of the
then mighty territory of Illinois. In
turn, in 177S, it passed from the Eng
lish to the Americans, the mighty
clangor of the bell proclaiming the
joyful news.
Kaskaskia flourished. There the
assembly met, and with 1t the social
life Of the old French families be-
came renowned. Night after night
the Menard house blazed with lights,
and guests danced while the Menard
slaves spread the big tables in the
banquet halls
Warned of Great Flood.
1t was on such night-in the
spring Of 1890-that the floods came
and the Mississippi broke through the
cutoff to the north and a wave of
water seeking new course for the
river bed swept over the town.
The parish priest managed to reach
the church tower and ring out a brief
warning, and then the church crumbled
and was partly swept away in the
swirling, muddy waters.
Nothing daunted the Kaskaskians.
They moved some five miles to the
other side of the island and started
the town of New Kaskaskia. There
the Church of the Immaculate Concep-
tion was rebuilt and there the bell.
rescued from the hungry river, was
taken.
The new Kaskaskians are "renters'
from the outside. To them the great
bell is just 75O pounds of bronze. and
so it stands, cracked and corroded, in
its ill-lighted vestibule-the great

Blasting With LIQUID oxygen.

1t has been known that liquid oxy-
gen mixed with substances like cot
ton wool forms a powerful explosive,
but serious difficulties were encoun-
tered in its practical use. A new
method has now been discovered for
handling this oxygen that makes it
practical for commercial use.
Bags are filed with special form
of lampblack, which are soaked in
the liquid oxygen for a few minutes
Just before they are required for use,
If the bag is now lighted with a
match it will burn quietly ana very
slowly, but if detonated it exrlodes
with the force of dynamite. and the
cost is much less.
Much less carbon monoxide is given
off than by most other explosives,
and there is no danger from a misfire
as the oxygen will evaporate in
short time.

4" HE great Liberty Bell of the
West"-the bell that 1877 years
ago tolled out the news of
American supremacy in the
vast frontier territory of the
mississippi valley-now lies almost
forgotten by the outside world in the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
in the little village of New Kaskas-
kia, ILL.,, writes Dean Halliday in the
Chicago Evening Post.
Next to the Liberty Bell in Phila-
delphla the "Kaskie bell" as it is
known hereabouts, is the most his
toric bell in the country. It is older
than the Liberty Bell, now on it's way
to San Francisco; older by ten years
Two years, almost to an hour, after
the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia had
proclaimed the freedom of the thir-
teen colonies, the great bell of Old
Kaskaskia rang out with the glad
tidings that a determined band of
Kentucky backwoodsmen, under the
leadership Of George Rogers Clark,
had captured Fort Gage, at the foot
of the bluffs a few miles to the east,
and had forced the English to haul
down their flag.
Rang for cIark's Triumph.
With the echoes of the great bell
still reverberating through the valley,
the American flag was run up over
the fort and the great frontier coun-
try became part of the United States
Of America.
The bell rang out again in triumph
as Clark's force marched from the fort
and took over Old Kaskaskia, then the
territorial capital.
1t is rs years since the bell doomed
out for the last time-one night in
1890, when the Mississippi swollen to
the flood point, broke through the
cutoff and swept over the town. 1t
was the warning of the bell that
night that saved many lives.
Several years later when an at
tempt was made to have the bell sent
to Chicago to be exhibited at the
Columbian exposition, members of the
surviving families of the old days OBJ
jected. The priest in charge-Father
Ferlan-was willing, but his little
flock would not have it. When a
committee came from Chicago to get
the bell they were driven off with
guns.
Stolen at Night.
But week or two later, in the dead
of night, the bell was stolen. Fer
rted across the river by men whose
identity has never been revealed it
was loaded onto train just as dawn
was breaking and started on it's jour-
ney to Chicago.
1t was in 1741 that word was car
ried to France that the Jesuits had
penetrated far to the west in the
new America and on the banks of
mighty river had established church.
To show his pleasure, the king,
Louis XIV, ordered great bronze bell
to be cast and shipped over the seas
to the hardy priests. On It was in

and one which will keep
for several days is some form of fruit
jelly. Lemon jelly is especially nice
in combination with other things. If
one has a dish of jelly in the ice
chest, arrange small spoonfuls of 1t
in alternate layers of fruit in a sher-
bet cup. This is one that was tried
the other day and was highly praised.
A little lemon jelly, preserved peach
cut in quarters, spoonful of orange
marmalade and a tablespoonful of
pineapple preserve with little of the
juice. This was topped with cream
garnished with halves of strawberries
and served with simple little lemon
cookies and made dessert most graft

pint of orange jelly in combination
with other fruits like banana, orange
and a few strawberries made dessert

to the rhubarb if desired. Cook until
tender and pink.
Vegetable Salad.-Take two cupfuls
of chopped cabbage, pour over it the
hot fat from a slice of salt pork, cut
in dice and fried brown. Add the bits
of pork and a minced onion, stir and
mix well, then heat hot enough vim
egar to just moisten the cabbage and
flavor 1t.
To Can Rhubarb.-Wash the rhu-
barb and cut in inch lengths without
peeling. Pack in sterilized jars, then
fill with cold water and be sure that
there are no spaces which the water
does not fill, Now plunge the jars
in pan of water and screw the tops
on under water.
