PROPER METHODS IN
REARING CHICKENS

to raise young chickens: however, Il
will run from 30 degrees up to 100
degrees In some cases, as some broods
or chickens seem TO require moro heat
than others, an average being 90 to
30 degrees for tho first week or ten
days. when tho temperature Ia grad
ually reduced to SO degrees for the
following 10 days, and then lowered to
10 or 20 degrees for as long as tho
chickens need heat.
Young chickens should be fed from
three To FIVE times daily, depending
lpon ones experience I'm feeding. Tho
young chicks may bo fod any time az
ter they are 36 TO as hours old, wheth-
err they are with hen or I'm n brooder.
The first feed may contain either
hard-boiled eggs. johnnycake. stale
bread, pinhead oatmeal, or rolled oats,
which feeds or combinations may be
used with good results. Feed the
bread crumbs, rolled oats, or Johnny
cake mixtures, moistoned with water,
FIVE times daily for the FIRST week,
then gradually substitute for one or
two feeds of the mixture newly crack
ed grains OF equal parts by weight OF
cracked whcat,newly cracked corn, and
pinhead oatmeal or hulled oats, to
which about 6 per cent OF cracked
peas or broken rice and per cent OF
charcoal, millct, or rape seed may be
added Commercial chick feed may be
substituted II desired The above ra-
tion can be fed until the chicks are
two weeks old, when they should be
fed on grain and dry or wet mash
mixture.
After the chicks are 10 days old
good growing mash, composed OF two
parts by weight of bran, two parts
middlings, one part cornmeal, one
part lowgradc wheat flour or red-dog
flour, and 10 per cent sifted beef
scrap, may be placed I'm hopper and
left before them at all times. AS soon
as the chickens will eat the whole
wheat, cracked corn. and other grains
the small-size chick feed can be ellmi-
mated.
Fine charcoal, grit, oyster shell and
clean water should be kept before the
chickens at all times. and cracked or
ground bone may be fed where the
chickens are kept i'm small bare yards.
but the latter feed is not necessary for
chickens that have good range.

Now Comes the Post

The State Journal regrets its I'm.
ability TO make it's sense OF propriety
and political orthodoxy conform to
the notions OF the Huntington Herald
Dispatch, the newspaper OF Hon. w. f.
Hite. and the Charleston Post. the per-
sonal organ OF Gov. Hatfield. On yes
terday we commented upon somo we'll
tempered criticism made OF the state
Journal by the former The Charles
ton Post echoes virtually the same re-
frain but with considerable more Wig
or. II accuses the State Journal OF
bringing n railing accusation against
the Governor" and SAYS it were as II
the Crown Prince of Germany. I'm n
newspaper. assaulted Gen. Jofre.
This latter observation we will sweep
aside as being to as entirely incom-
prehensible.
The Post makes the mistake of as
suming that Gov. Hatfield is the Re
publican party and that failure to ac-
copt his dictums as TO candidates con
stitutes apostasy TO Republicanism.
"Thc state ournal assumes that Il
is not the province OF the Governor to
pass upon the Republcanism OF West
Virginia voters and candidates. The
state Journal believes that when the
Governors paper read Grant Hall out
of the party and then read Gen. Lilly
out because Hall was alleged to be
supporting him. he overstepped his
authority and as well as made po-
litical mistake.
The voters OF the party themselves
must determine the principles and the
candidates. and the less the Governor
seeks TO dictate both principles and
candidates the better for all concern
ed Our criticism, II such IL may he
characterized, has not concerned it
self with the Governors performance
of his duties, as they rightfully exist.
but with his attempts to usurp func-
tions expressly reserved to the vot-
crs, to be performed through the
means of the primary.
THE character of Republican prin-
ciplcs may be well defined i'm the pri-
mary election, later TO be exactly de-
fined at a representative meeting OF
the party delegates. The identity OF
the candidates may be exactly fixed by
the voters I'm the primary election.
THE State Journal, i'm the light OF
the existence OF these facilities for
making popular nominations. and Sc
curing popular expression, has pro-
tested against the assumption OF the
voters preorogative by the Governor.
There can be no mistaking the fact
that he undertakea to say just what is
Republican principle. and that he un-
dertakes TO influence with the ap-
pointing power the result of the pri-
mary. These manifestations are vio-
lative of the very spirit OF the primary
law, and subversive of n principle
whose Republication is undisputed."
The above is from the Parkersburg
state Journal. one of the staunchest
Republican newspapers i'm the state.
Evidently the State Journal realizes
that to continue the Hatfield regime
means the defeat of the Republican
party in the state and is not afraid to
so declare

At the basis of our American institutions,

The school is necessarily against Popery,

Missoula Montana, May 1st 1915.
Dear Mr. Watson: Of interest to you in re-
gard to your work on Asatic Foreign Missions
will be report of a talk made in the Methodist
church of this city, by Mr.. Don Woods, mis-
sionary from Lucknow, India, and teacher in the
Methodist school, of that place, April 23rd.
Mr.. Wood said in part that in that particular
school, of which he was the ATHLETIC instructor
that there were fourteen instructors, and nine of
that number NON-Chrstian That there
was no effort made at compulsory instruction of
the Christian religion, but that in the course Of
the regular training, the desrabty of embrac-
ing that faith brought to the attention of the
scholars. That though there was a desire on the
part of the natives for instruction, they came for
the education, and were not hasty in embracing
the Christian religion; in fact, it must be borne
gradually, and by works, their mind that it
was the proper thing to do
Mr.. Woods is whole souled, splendid young
man, thoroughly in earnest in his work and
am not writing this condemnatory of him, but
merely as a startling revelation, of the idea of
paying infdels Of the Hindoo type to teach

That's what he did, and he misrepresented
his constituents when he did it, but he was
not able to kill the bill, as his predecessor,
Senator Chenault did,
Bishop Gambler is again at the front, using
all his influence to drive the legislature into
adopting Roman Catholic principle.
That principle is, State aid TO reIgiosAs
education.
Bishop Gambler got started on this uni,
American, anti-Protestant move, when Asa
Gambler doped the Methodist denomination
with his Coca Cola donation of a million dol.
lars to the Methodist Theological school.
The Bishop demands that the State donate
to the church the sum that the taxes qUouzd
amount to, if imposed according to laeU.
He wants this State aid granted in pera
petuity.
Say that the taxes on the million would be-
$4,000 year, the State aid, given by ali
exemption from taxes, would mount up to
$1OOOOO every ten years.
Suppose Brother Asa had kept his million,
and paid taxes on it: then the State would
nave SOU Tile taxes.
But Also gives the million to the church,
and the State gives the taxes: thus Asa and
the State unite to maintain secta4ia71 i7astA
tuition.
Is that against the highest law of the lands
It certainly is.
If Bishop Gambler can browbeat the legis,
lature into doing as he demands, a great
Protestant princi pie will have been violated,
popish doctrine adopted, and the dooA
opened for every Catholic institution To
escape taxation.
The Savannah Board of Education has been
handing over to the Catholic church in Sd
vannah, the sum of $143 every year, as re-.
fund of tones paid.
The Supreme Court decided, few days
ago, that this is unlawful.
Bishop Gamblers proposition is precisely
the same, tn principle
The Catholic church has been paying the
tax, and getting it back.
But Bishop Gambler wants to avoid the
trouble of paying at all.
Why not compromise, Bishop, by asking
the legislature to require the State to refund
the tax, after you pay it, as the Catholics Of
Savannah did?
Of course, the Supreme Court says yolg
mustn't do it, but what's the Supreme Court,
anyway?
And the Constitution says you mustn't do
it but we can change the Constitution, so THAI
all difference between Protestant and CATHOLIC
principles shall be wiped out
Is that what you're aiming at, Bishop?
