Ceiling Construction for Controlling Temperature
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
fluence on Growth and Mortality. Com
parative Study of the Value Of Sweet
Milk and Sour Milk"
The feeding of milk to young chicks
has a most favorable influence on the
growth and on the lessening Of NOR
tally OF the chicks. 1t tends to pre-
vent mortality from all causes, and
II fed soon enough and for a sufficient
" long period, greatly reduces the
death rate caused by bacillary white
diarrhea
Sweet and sour milk are apparently
or equal value in their relation to
growth and mortality. Furthermore
different degrees of souring do not
alter the results of milk feeding.
The value Cf milk as a feed for
chicks does not depend upon any acids
that may be present, nor upon any
particular types OF heterogeneous
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 brocded
wholly or for the most part indoors
Tie 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.

Construction of Walls.

2x16 joists IS inches apart Upon the
top of these tin is nailed, slanting
down three inches on each side. Be-
low these tins another shallow "
shaped tin forms a gutter, which runs
the water to the side Of the chamber
where a drain carries. it off. The ice
rests on 2x2 Stats nailed in 2x4 up
rights.
The ice chamber holds six tons,
and requires replenishing from four
to six times in the fall More ice is
needed again in the spring, though
not so much as in the fall.
Apples are placed in storage as
soon as ripe, the outside temperature
at this tine being around 20 degrees.
The temperature in the storage may
run from so to 55 degrees at this time
due to the high temperature outside
and to the frequent opening of the
door and temperature Of the apples
when picked. Later when the cool
fall weather comes the temperature
will register around 35 degrees When
the temperature outside falls below
that in the storage the windows are
opened. Should the temperature fall
much below zero for any length of
time in the winter, a stove is used
to keep the storage at a reasonable
temperature.
For the season ice is needed, %
tons is about the average required
for the room described.

Mr.. Wade looked back and said,

Yes, suh," drawled the farmer,

GERMANS HAVE won
VAST TERRITORY.
Russians Driven From Their Positions
in Galician Territory Since May l,
Losing 5000 Square Miles.
SLAVS IN DANGER OF TRAP
Situation May Result in Surrender of
Bukowina or Retreat Into Ruma-
nia-Would Mean Intern.
By j. w. T. MASON.

New York, May 19.-The Aus.
trians and Germans have won about
5000 square miles of territory in
Galicia since May 1, when the drives
against the Russian positions in the
west and south began.
The entire western part of Galicia
has been swept clear of the Slavs
and the Russians have been forced
back from the Carpathians to a new
battle front between 20 and 40 miles
north of the mountain passes. The
reclaimed Galician territory has the
same area as that part of France now
in German possession. No other
campaign of the war has had such
rapid and extensive results as the
present southeastern operations.
Has Been Redeemed.
About SO per cent of Galician land,
lately in possession of the invaders,
has been redeemed in II days. Pre-
mysl and Lemberg, however, remain
to be taken. They are the centers of
the two main defensive positions of
the Russians. The Austrians and
Germans are now before Przemysl,
and are about forty miles away from
Lemberg. With the recapture of these
military bases, the Russians hold on
Galicia will become negligible.
The Slavs are indanger, too, of be-
ing trapped, if they do not change
the present direction of their re-
treat. They are keeping away from
the Russian border of Galicia and are
moving southeast toward Bukowina.
This effort to revenge the loss of
Galicia by invading Bukowina is g.
perilous adventure. Bukowina is
bounded on the east and south by
Roumania. Once the Russians are
in the crown colony, the Austrians
and Germans might be able to close
the northern exits which led into
Galicia and make impregnable the
western Carpathian passes which run
into Hungary and Transyfvanfa.
Would Be No Escape.
The Russians would be Gagged
then. If they were defeated there
would be no escape Either they
would have to surrender on Buko-
wilma soil or they would be forced to
retreat into Roumania. If they &C.
copied the latter alternative the Rou-
manian authorities would have to in
tern them.
The attempt of the Russian govern
ment, therefore, to create the impress
sion that compensation for Galician
losses are being won in Bukowina
must be disquieting to the Western
Allies. The danger of Russian de-
bacle surprising those of East Prussia
is too near to be overlooked in Lon
don and Paris, however, it may be
overlooked in Petrograd.
