FEEDING CHICKS.
The feeding Of the daY-old chick dur
ing the brooding period is a simple mat
ter If the first principles of nutrition are
known. Early feeding in large quantities
should he avoided The Youngsters need
plenty of ash, wheat bran being very de
sirable. Frequent feeding during early
stages j. made necessary on account of
the small size of the digestive organs and
the rapid growth which the young chick
makes. Wet feeds should he avoided.
Clean feeding is Of the utmost impor-
lance. Tho feeding Of sour skim milk II

desirable AS 1t provides much nutriment
and acts as an internal disinfectant. The
following feeding practice Is recommend
ed to be followed from the time the young
sters are placed under the hover until
they leave their artificial mother and can
take care Of themselves on the range.
The object is not to force for great
and rapid growth but To get the chicks
through delicate period of their de-
velopment with strong, vigorous growth
and a sturdy skeleton which can later
stand the strain of forced feeding for
either meat or eggs.

F FASHIONS CHANGE IN DOGS

Owing to the war the dachshund is in

Poarsons. He is an "alien enemy" al

the face of it to be carrying things a
bit too far; and some people. plying the
poor dachshund, have been writing
letters to the newspapers saying that he
is not German at all, but is identical
with the old English "turnspt dog"
that used to he trained to turn the splits
for roasting the joints in front of the
huge open fires beloved byour forefathers
It's, however, is all wrong, The turn

dachshund being that II had short legs
and long back The dachs-hund q. e.,

been first introduced into England by the
prince Consort from the kennels Of
Prince Edward of SaXe-Weimar about

The fashion, set by royalty, quickly
spread, and the vogue has continued
more or less down to the present day
Whether the poor animal will ever again
retrieve, so far as England is concerned,
the popularity he seems just now to have
forfeited remains to be seen.
For example, the dachshund suffered a
similar eclipse In popularity in France
during the war In lS0-7l and for a
similar reason SO high indeed did the
antl-German feeling run in Paris, that

Of wreckage. The close fight during
the last half century between guns
and armor has been decided, probably
conclusively. by the recent results In
favor of the gun.
This is not the proper time to fur
nish further details; suffice it to say
that this result is due to the 42-centi-
meter mortar whose bore is twice as
large as that of the largest caliber
gun of the land artillery. This step
is most interesting and shows great
courage. In the line of naval artillery
the Krupp firm first constructed "a
centimeter guns, then %, 30.5. 1886,
1871, and finally 40.46 centimeter guns.
that is six different groups. and has
not even reached the 42-centimeter
caliber. The gifted engineers of the
Krupp works, who worked out the
plans of the world wonder and then
actually constructed 1t, are entitled to
the thanks Of the fatherland.
Without these guns. streams Of
blood would have had to flow-as in
the case of Port Arthur-before the
doors of the two forts would have
been opened. What valuable time
the most essential thing in such an en-
ergetically conducted war-has been
saved and how many other fortresses
will have to surrender after the first
greeting from this giant gun!"
