MAY BE BOOMERANG

The Barnes-Roosevelt suit, now being
fought out in the Syracuse Court, has oc-
cupied the place Of prominence in the press
since it started, week ago.
A non-partisan reader is able to deduce
but one thing from the maze Of charges
and counter charges; to wit: That politics,
as the game is played in York State, at
least, is rotten; and that a clean, honest
man Gas defendant Roosevelt appears to
have been from the testimony, in intent,
at least,) cannot skate too near the exact
point where the ice and the water meet
without danger Of submersion. At the
present stage Of the proceedings, the ex-
president is getting off with only his feet
slightly wet-and before the end Of the
judicial inquiry, he may prove that that
was just what he had intended to do, any
way; and that it was all right and proper.
Col. Roosevelt s friends say that the
suit for libel is proving boomerang, and
will land him in the presidential chair

WOMEN ALL READY

have arrived at their destination, after
being held up for three days on the

tain s order stopping traffic to Holland
The seas promise to be stormy in the wo-
mems conference Already they have
split on a question Of policy. Some want
direct intercession, others decry this
plan.
Col. Roosevelt cast a (metaphoricaI
brick bat at the company on the eve of
their departure by saying that meaning
the womens' mission = speaking with
scientific accuracy it is base and silly"
that the women were championing peace
without regard to Righteousness" and
that the principles Of the party are ex-
actly those of the copperheads' Of the
civil war
The French and English press refuse to
take the women seriously, one paper pre-
dieting the comic note will become one

Sour milk is an excellent feed for
chickens, young or old. In the little fel-
lows, it corrects the bowel trouble-the
white diarrhea, which is so dangerous
among the chicks. Fine charcoal is
recommended, not as a food, but as a
corrective to sweeten the crop, etc.
Chickens are very fond of meat in
almost any form, as you know from OBJ
servation, when you see them go after
the bugs and worms. When out on the
range, this food is supplied by the bugs
they catch, but when they are confined
in their houses, this must be supplied.
Milk answers this purpose fairly well.
If one hasn't the milk, he can buy the
prepared meat in the way of beef scraps
and other forms of meat. Care must
be taken not to feed too freely of these,
and they must be pure and sweet. Whole
flocks have been killed by feeding taint-
ed meats.
Green feed should be provided free
ly-clover, alfalfa, sprouted oats, etc.
Get them on the ground and grass as
soon as the weather will permit.
Wheat, corn and oats are the chief
grains for chickens of any age They
must be cut or cracked in suitable sizes
for the different ages of chicks. Corn
is the best for fattening, but not so good
for the layers. Less should be given in
the warm weather than in the cold, for
it creates heat
Wheat is considered the best feed,
if fed alone for all purposes, but it is the
most expensive. This is an important
aspect of the business just now with the
war prices on. A person should sub
stitute other feed wherever it can be
done, if he has an eye to profits.
Oats is good to develop chicken
and is good too for eggs. They are better
if hulled, as the sharp hulls of the oats
are liable to stick in the throat crop,
and are bad for digestion To soak
them is benefit.
Chickens must have plenty of sharp
grit. Hens need oyster shells.
Many keep dry mash before them
all the time, composed of bran, shorts,
cornmeal, beef scraps, a little salt, and
some add other ingredients. About 209d
is an average for beef scraps.
Be sure and keep the little fellows
busy. Make them scratch for their liv-
ing. A lazy chicken will not amount to
anything, any more than will lazy
man.

Canal, taking 1000 British and French

The French account admits the allies
had to fall back, but says this was due to
the use by the Germans of asphyxiating
gas bombs. Paris asserts that in counter
attacks the allies took many German pris-
oners and that the Belgians repulsed at

POULTRY TALKS

O. L. Tindall.
THE CARE OF YOUNG CHICKS

lHE CARE VI 1OO1NG CIl1OIAD
The season for Matching and rear
ing the young chicks is at hand.
The Matching has it's trials and
troubles whether it be by incubator or
by the old hen The man who discards
the incubator finds often that when he
is ready for business, the old "biddy" is
not in the mood. Then he resorts to
the man with the wooden hen" for
Matching.
But Matching is not the whole thing.
Quite as many fail in raising the chicks
as in Matching by artificial means. The
young chick is a delicate and peculiar
little creature, and must be treated ac-
cordingly. It comes into the world
weighing about 1 II ounces but it has
capacity and energy. 1t is said it will
double it's weight in six days. If babe
grew at the same rate, it would weigh
235 pounds in three months.
A chick is very active and develops
rapidly. When it is Matched, it has e.
nough food slowed away in it's little body
for two or three days, and needs little
or no food for that length of time. In
fact, food would be quite injurious to
it. The chick swallows the yolk of the
egg just before it leaves the shell, and
this has to be absorbed before it needs
any feed; little water may be given
as soon as it comes from the incubator.
What Shall We Feed
the young chick, and how care for him? F?
One writer puts it in this way, which is
good and sums up the whole question
in few words:
Keep them warm, dry, exercised,
aired, watered, and somewhat hungry.
They must be fed literally, but care
fully. Give variety = well-balanced
feed
1t is most important to have them
properly brooded. Over-heating is very
injurious. A chicken does not sweat.
He gets rid of his bad blood, or disease
infections, not through the pores of his
body, but through the mouth.
Pure air is most essential. The
temperature of the brooder, for the first
week at least, should be from 95 to 100
degrees, and then may be reduced grad
ually as the chick grows older, and the
feathers grow. When they are too cold,
they will crowd and pile up, and SO
smother themselves in very short time.
When the heat is right, you will see them
lying on the floor of the brooder at
night, perfectly contented and spread
around You can judge as to their con-
dition by their actions as well as
be right. Some brood without fire,
with warm hover of flannel, or feath-
by the thermometer. The ventilation
must be right. Some brood without
fire, with warm hover of flannel, or
feathers, but it is uncertain and re-
quires much care.
Feed carefully at first small guam
titles - thimbleful of small grain is
a good feed for week-old chick and
there are seven hundred thimblefuls of
grain in a quart, it is said by good au-
thority.

Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Dan
iels, after banishing intoxicating drink
from the United States navy, and seeing
that his system works to his satisfaction,
now plans blow at the root Of the evil
thing.
He proposes to surround all the naval
training stations with five mile prohibi-
tion zone.
This must come through state legisla-
ton; and to this end the Secretary is bend
ing every effort to obtain the passage of
such law in Illinois, the training station
at Lake Bluff, where are 1000 recruits
boys ranging from seventeen to nineteen
years of age-being the first to come un-
der such, in the event the secretary is sue
cessful with the Illinois legislators now in
session.
The present law affects the territory
only for distance of one and one-eighth
miles around the Lake Bluff station.
If the five mile dry zone is approved by
the legislature, Waukegan, with it's sixty
saloons, North Chicago and other towns
ON the north shore would become dry ter
ritory, without residents having word to
say about it.
Committee Investigates
A senate committee has been making in
vestigations of conditions surrounding the
naval training station during the
week W. A Moffet, commander of the
station at Lake Bluff, appeared before the
committee, being authorized by Secretary
Daniels to make an appeal for the five mile
dry zone.
This naval training station, for building
and equipment, is the largest in the world
Last year there passed through the
school 2,400 boys, nearly all minors.
Pleads for Recruits
Many Of these youths the commander
states, never saw a saloon until they came
to the neighborhood Of North Chicago and
Waukegan.
These lads are, he says for the most part
drawn from the small towns and country
villages Of the north Central States and
for stature and health they are the best
recruits that can be found in America.
In describing the saloons, he says, many
Of them are Of the lowest possible type
distinguished for their filth, their lawless-
ness, and particularly for selling liquor to
minors and to drunkards.
Lure for Lads
He continues: Before the station was
built a small temperance zone was estab-
lished which closed few saloons at the
south end of the village Of North Chicago.
These had been especially built to catch
the trade from the lads Of the station. Af-
ter the closing Of these saloons, the vii
lage board Immediately extended the sa-
loon district so that new saloons could be
placed along the edge Of the zone, and
seven more opened their DOORS There are
now rs saloons in North Chicago and Wau-
kegan, and there is bitter antagonism on
the part of North Chicago against the
naval station. A little while ago crowd

to man it's feet from their station at Lake
