chautauqaa Next Year Is Assured.
COURSE HAD GOOD PATRONAGE, AND
CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER YEAR Is
MADE.


While the Chautauqua course Of enter.
tainments given here did not quite
"break even," it had . good patronage
for first year, when 80 little was known
beforehand of what really meant. The
local gusrsntors will have to make mp q
deficiency of not quite Q third Of the
amount for which they became respon-
sible, but there was no difficulty In go
curing signers to the contract for next
year, and instead of the fifty-two who
signed this years contract, sixty-seven
names we're secured on Monday to the
contract for next year, which was closed
at the last session that evening.
There is no question that series OF
entertaining and instructive programs
was presented, OF high class such as 1t
would not be possible to give here In any
other way than by the close and COM
plete organization of the Chautauqua
system. They have been appreciated
here, but may be expected to have .
larger patronage another year.
The lecture of Monday, the last of the
five days, was given by Andre Tridon,
war correspondent, who was at Vera
Cruz when the United States troops
were landed there, and who made .
study of Mexico. His subject was Gan

ly gave most of his hearers more intl-
mate acquaintance with actual condi.
tions in that land than they had had be-
fore.
The musical entertainers of the day
were Darlington Branch, pianiste, Mar.
guerite de Forest Anderson, fautiste,
and Lenora Sparkes, prima donna So
prano of the Metropolitan Opera Co.. OF
New York city.
Mr.. Branch is q piano virtuoso OF great
technical skill and brilliancy, but his So
lections were all too severely classical to
evoke great enthusiasm from the audi
ence.
Miss Anderson Is reputed to be "the
greatest flute player in the history of
music" Certainly her playing IL de-
lightful, her selections covered wide
range in character, and her pleasant
was charming.
Miss Sparkes pleases even the least ap-
preciative of her audience by making
every word of her songs clear and dis

but she sang good number of the
simple songs which after all, 1t must be

an enthusiastic tribute of applause.

The better grades in cotton voiles,
marquisettes, orgardie and other sheer
stuffs have proved themselves surpris-
ingly durable and are like crepe de
chine and crepe georgette in this re-
spect. They look as fragile as flower
petals but wear as stanchly as
Scotch madras or any other of the de-
pendable weaves that are relied upon
for the practical everyday blouse.
They are all in the running now that
the time is here for making up blouses
for the oncoming season.
With the trend of the public's taste
constantly turned toward thin and
sheer fabrics for all purposes, and the
demand for thisgs washable, cotton

of the list as a material wanted for
spring blouses. 1t is shown in many
patterns employing color, in figures or

many weakings. A colony house by
10 feet will house from 100 to $50
chicks at five weeks of age, and after
the male birds are separated at about
ten weeks it will easily accommodate
the forty or fifty remaining pullets
throughout the balance OF the season.
In managing the growing stock per-
sOnal attention should always be given
to their wants, especially when young.
Considerable attention ds required in
seeing that all are brought in quickly
from sudden showers and that they
find their proper quarters at night and
are protected from rats and other enc
mics. 1t must be remembered that

high degree of perfection it can be
expected to utilize the food material
to better advantage. Perfection can
be attained only by providing free
range and fresh air.

If there is the least suspicion of scales

dry and anoint with carbolated vase

Dry Food For Chicks,

Chicks grow better and remain
healthier when the bulk Of their food
is fed in dry form. Dry chick food
namely, mixed grains finely ground to
about the size Of wheat screenings or
millet-when fed in the litter compels
the chicks to hustle and scratch for
their food and is ideal for developing

in place of the bran which has been be
: fore them. This growing mash shoulc
be kept constantly in front of them unit
they reach maturity.
You may possibly have your own mix.
ture for this food, but have had great
success with the following: Mix thor.
oughly two parts of bran. one part of
wheat middlings, one part of alfalfa
meal, one part corn meal, one part glut-
ten feed, one part sifted beef scrap. one
part bone meal and one-half one part
flax seed meal. A little salt NAV be
added in about the same proportions as
would suit your taste in food, but this
, is absolutely essential.
! This is not all that is necessary to the
growth of the youngsters, however. In
addition, they should be given a liberal
supply of we'll balanced grain. MANY
persons differ on the kind of grain ration
to be fed but the following will be
found excellent for them Mix equal
parts of wheat, cracked corn, huiled
oats, One-eighth part each of cracked
corn, hulled oats, One-eighth part each
of cracked sunfower seed, millet and
kaffir corn. The kaffir corn has but lit
tie nutritive value and is only added be-
cause of its attractiveness. Fowls love
and relish it, thus in using it, their
tastes are taken into consideration.
No good thing is ever accomplished
without time and expense. Many per
sons start the youngsters right, but
then either through laziness or greed in
trying to economic on food bills, soon
discontinue the use of the growing mash
and they get mad when they raise poor
specimens.
After the pullets have matured it is /
time to prepare them for the production |
of eggs. For this purpose nothing beats |
a dry mash food, together with liberal |
supply of green food, which by the way.
should be furnished during the growing
period. There is but little difference
between the growing mash and the egg
producing one and many persons Just
continue the former. If a chance is de-
sired, however, by dropping the bone
meal and substituting in its stead the
same proportion of fish scrap, the trick
S turned. In this, the beef scrap may
