Your mother-she was above price,

She was my one love and have never

May you find her equal, my son, pure

wheat and whole kafir should take the
place of the cracked grains. Whole
kafir is a splendid feed for young
chicks.
Where an abundant supply of sour
milk Is not available it will be found
necessary to add half a pound of corn
and meat scrap to the dry mash after
the first week. This should gradually
be increased to reach four pounds at
the end Of the fourth week.
Fond Of Onions.
when the hatch is brought off
early and there is not an abundance of
green shoots, 1t will be found benefi.
cial to feed an onion once or twice
daily. Slice the onion crosswise so as
to form rings. Onion is highly rel
ished by young chicks and is especial
ly desirable on cold, damp days. Later
in the season, when it is possible to
allow the young chicks to run out for
green food the question of exercise
does not need to be considered.
Zone of the most important features
in raising young chicks is not to over
leeu, anu one Oh inc DeSt meLuOuS OF
feeding is to allow the young chicks
all they care to eat until noon, at
which time they should be allowed to
become hungry, even to the point of
crying little. At night they should
be given a liberal supply Of feed so
they will go under the hover with full
crops.
Comfort Is Keynote.
"The keynote to success in raising
young chicks is comfort. II the chicks
are given sufficient to eat and plenty
of exercise and are not allowed to be-
come chilled they will thrive and re-
turn ample profit for the care given
them. They must have properly con-
structed hover where the heat is suf-
fcient to warm them quickly IL they
become chilled. All their quarters
must be kept perfectly dry and clean.
No chick can be comfortable il com
PEELED to remain in damp or dirty
places"

WAY TO PREVENT EGG EATING
Provide Low, Covered Nests and Dark
as PossibIe-Dose of Cayenne
Pepper Is Good.

A good way of preventing egg-eating
is to provide low, covered nests. 1t
is also good idea to have the nests
as dark as possible. This can be done
by stretching curtain partly across
one corner of the house and having
all the nests in the darkened corner
Barely enough light should enter for
the hens to see the nests. The nests
should be covered and SO low that the
hen barely has room to creep on and
off. When unable to stand upright
in a nest, it is impossible for her to
get at the eggs with her beak.
Another method that is often recon-
mended is to give the egg-eater a
good dose OF cayenne pepper. This
is done by making a small opening in
the end of an egg and drawing off
part of its contents. The egg Is
then filled with cayenne pepper, which
mixes with the egg-substance left in
the shell. When ready, the egg is
placed in full view on the poultry
house floor. The egg-eaters immedi-
ately pounce upon it, and the coughing
and sneezing that results is evidence
that the treatment is effective.

CONTROL GAPES IN CHICKENS
Little Danger of Trouble IT Youngsters
Are Kept OFF Ground and Out
Of Wet.

The gapes often cause heavy loss
in flock of young chickens If care
is taken to keep the chicks off of the
ground and to keep them out of the
wet there need be little danger. Gapes
are caused by small worms that fasten
themselves to the inside wall of the
windpipe. They thus obstruct the pas
sage of the air and cause suffocation.
The cape is parasite in the COM
mon earthworm. When chicks are per-
mitted to run at large and especially
when their runs are on wet ground
or wet grass they pick up many earth
worms. When the ground is very wet,
as after a rain or even in the morn
ing after heavy dew, many Of these
worms come to the surface. The chicks
pick them up and thus introduce the
gapeworms into their system.
Some ground that has long been
used for chicken runs may become
badly infested with gapeworms. A
change of location Is advisable. Plow
up the old range. grow crop on 1t and
in year or two it will likely be free
from parasites.-Ohio State Univer-
sity.

ner as public thoroughfares, which
carry much greater traffic, in general
would be useless waste of money.
The first consideration Is the loca-
tion of the roads and paths about the
farm. The roads and paths are a
part of the permanent farm plant.
Consequently they should be so To-
which they are intended, should fit In
with the general scheme of the farm,
and at the same time should avoid as
much as possible places which would
require difficult and expensive con-
struction or maintenance. The main
consideration, however, must be to
secure the highest degree of efficiency
from the farm plant as a whole.
The earth road is the most common
type Of farm road and will probably so
remain. When properly crowned,
drained and maintained with the split
log drag or other similar device, the
earth road, on all but a few excep-
tional soils or In few places imme-
diately around the farm lots and build
ings, can be made to answer the re-
quirements fairly well. A little grad.
ing will IN general give the earth road
crown sloping from the center to-
ward the side bitches at a rate Of
about one inch to the foot, and side
bitches of sufficient size to carry away
the storm water can usually be con-
structed without difficulty If the
ground is springy the side bitches may
be made deeper, or the ground water
may be carried away by tile drains.
The fundamental requirement of an
earth road is always good drainage.
This involves, first, the removal of the
water which reaches the surface of
the road from precipitation or other
wise; and second, in certain places the
removal of any ground water which
reaches the road from underground
seepage. Surface drainage is accom-
plished by securing reasonably firm
crowned roadway and providing
bitches of sufficient size and with am
pie grade and frequent outlets. Sub
drainage to remove the water from
beneath the road surface or to pre-
vent it's passage into the roadbed is
usually accomplished most effectively
by so-called blind drains or by means
Of properly located tile drains.

The two most important factors in
chick raising are comfort and proper
food, according to N. l.. Harris, super
intendent of the Kansas agricultural
college poultry farm.
THE little chick, whether naturally
or artiticially Matched. should not be
given anything to eat until 1t shows
signs of being decidedly hungry, which
will usually be in about SO to As
hours" comments Superintendent Har-
ris. Zone of the first feeds that the
young chick should receive is fine sand
or commercial chick grit and a good
drink of sour milk or buttermilk If
possible. More digestive troubles in
incubator chicks are caused by lack of
grit than by any other one thing.
"One of the essentials in maintain
ing good digestion Is liberal supply
of either sour milk or buttermilk. In
few hours after the sand and milk
have been fed, very small quantity
of hard boiled egg, including the
shell, chopped fine and mixed with
bread crumbs or rolled oats, may be
given. A good proportion is one part
egg and five parts bread crumbs or
rolled oats.
Mash for Young Chicks.
ION the second day equal parts of
cracked wheat and corn should be scat
tered in a litter. At the same time a
mash consisting of IS parts of corn
meal, 81 parts Of wheat bran, four
parts of bone meal, and two parts of
graduated charcoal should be given.
The charcoal is not feed but acts as
regulator The mash should be fed
in shallow troughs that are kept
scrupulously clean. If chicks have a
free range, this mash may be kept be-
fore them at all times. If, however,
they are confined to small pens, only
what they will clean up in about 20
minutes should be given them.
During the first week or ten days 1t
is best to feed five times a day, after
which time three times daily is suffi-
cient. AS soon as possible whole

REPAIR BAD SPOTS IN ROADS
MudhoIes Should Be First Drained and
Soft Dirt Removed-Don't Be
Afraid of Dragging.

Don't try to fill mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
1t with large stones, because IL this Is
done there will soon be two mudholes
instead of one. Don't try to fill a
mudhole with sods or similar material
which absorb water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid of dragging too often during
rainy spell. If a thin coat Of sand
or gravel be spread over the road sur
face when it has been softened by
rain and then worked In by traffic
and liberal use of the drag, poor
earth road can be much improved and
made to carry surprisingly heavy
traffic for short time.

UNLIMITED RANGE FOR HENS
Does Not Necessarily Mean That
Fowls Should Be Given Free
dom of Stables and Sheds.

Unlimited range has it's advantages,
but If unlimited range means that the
fowls have the privileges of the sta
bles, wagon sheds and roosting on the
wheels and machinery, then the un-
limited range is nuisance. To give
poultry plenty Of room does not imply
that the fowls should go where they
please. A hen has no place in stable
any more than a COW has any right
in poultryhouse.
Little by little the droppings accum-
ulate during the season until every
thing is too filthy to handle, and the
work of cleaning will be more than the
real value Of the fowls. Keep poultry
away from other stock.

MARKETING THE DUCKS EGGS
cept Early In Spring-Pure White
Egg Preferred.

The demand for ducks eggs at a
as general as the demand for hens
eggs. The quality of ducks eggs on
the average market was poor until
people began to keep Indian Runner
ducks and to build up trade in first
class eggs. A good demand for ducks
prices usually several cents a dozen
higher than for hens eggs, but during
the rest of the year the average price
for ducks eggs has been about the
same as for hens eggs.
Most, buyers make no quotations
for ducks eggs except early in the
spring. Since three ducks eggs weigh
about the same as four hens eggs,
ducks do not appear to be as profita-
BILE for the production of market eggs
as fowls.
A trade is being established gradual
ly in some markets for fancy nearby
ducks eggs which bring higher prices
than hens eggs, and the demand
seems to be increasing. Pure white
eggs are preferred and usually bring
the highest price. These eggs should
be marketed frequently, as they de-
preciate In quality more rapidly than
hens eggs, especially in hot weather.
The market for eggs should be inves-
tigated carefully by those who intend
to raise breeds of the egg-laying type
of ducks, such as the Indian Runner.

The private roads on the farm differ
In general from the public roads only
in the amount and kind of traffic which
they carry. The fundamental princi-
pies involved in their construction and
maintenance are the same. But, as
the farm road is called on to bear far
less traffic, the ordinary methods of
construction and maintenance are SO
modified and the use of materials so
adapted as to meet the special re-
quirements and reduce the cost. To
