Rearing Chickens
Brooding with hens is the simplest
and easiest way to raise a few chick
ems and is the method which is used
almost exclusively on the average
farm. Artificial breeders are neces-
sary where winter or very early chick
ems are raised, where only Leghorns
or other nonsitting breeds of poultry
are kept or where large numbers OF
chickens are raised commercially. Sit
ting hens should be confined to slight
ly darkened nests at Matching time
and not disturbed unless they step on
or pick their chickens when Matching.
The egg shells and any eggs which
have not Matched should be removed
as soon as the Matching is over. Hens
should be fed as soon as possible after
the eggs are Matched, as feeding
tends to keep them quiet; otherwise
many hens will leave the nest. In
most cases it is best that the hen re-
main on the nest and brood the chicks
for at least twenty-four hours after
the Matching is over.
Hens will brood successfully ten to
fifteen chicks early in the breeding
season and eighteen to twenty-five In
warm weather, utptnulhe upon thS
size of the hen. Powder the hen with
a good insect powder before moving
her and the chicks to the brood coop.
The hen should be busted every two
weeks or as often as necessary until
the chickens are weaned. If lice be-
come thick on the chickens, of if they
are troubled with "head lice" very
little grease, such as lard or vaseline,
may be applied with the fingers on the
head, neck, under the wings and
around the vent.
Brood coops should be made so that
they can be closed at night to keep
out cats, rats and other animals, and
enough ventilation should be allowed
so that the hen and chicks will have
plenty of fresh air. The hen should
be confined in the coop until the chick
ems are allowed free range after they
are few days old.
The brood coop should be cleaned
at least once week and kept free
from mites. If mites are found in the
coop it should be thoroughly cleaned
and sprayed with kerosene oil or

Y. M. c. A. NOTES
Honor System and Scope at the Ionia
County " NJ C. A Camn


Honor to whom honor is DUE" is
something of an old saying and worth
more in our American life today than
the place which is usually accorded
it. 1t means i'm short that the man
who has accomplished is rightly en-
titled the measure Of credit which
is due him. In the business world
this is not always lived up to. How
many an inventor has had the product
Of his genius stolen from him by un-
scrupulous promoters; how many
workman has labored faithfully for a
long span Of years at his humble oc-
cupation with no word of apprecia-
ton; how many a teacher gives of the
best of his life to the upbuilding of
the community with but scant recog-
milton of his services; how the moth
ers of our land toll increasingly day
after day in their great work of love
with but part of that appreciative
return which should be theirs.
Surely life would be happier and
richer would we but take the trouble
to thank those whose lives have
meant SO much to us. Now when we
go over to the field of an honor con-
test, it is no more than right in the
same way, that this spirit be mani
fest. Who is the man to whom honor
is due? You reply at once that he is
the fellow who does the best work,
who is the most careful, who tries his
hardest, who is the most thoughtful;
yes, and there are many other quail
ties which you would mention. And
this will be one of the features at our
summer camp at Woodland lake this
year Records will be kept by the
tent leaders of the different boys in
their tents and merits marks given
according to good qualities manifest
ed during the week of camp
promptness, alertness, neatness of
tents, etc.
We should not lose sight of the
aim; it is not primarily to beat the
other fellow. 1t is rather to give US
drill and efficiency in some of the var
ious activities which we shall have
with us all through life. In the bust
ness, the social, and the educational
world, it is the trained man who at
tains the highest goal; we should
therefore take advantage of the OPP
portunities which present themselves
early in life for the development of
winning traits of character.

We are opposed to deep culture OF
corn after the roots get any length,
although the first time we go through
it with the cultivator we set it mod
erately deep. There are few farm
ers who have any idea how rapidly the
corn roots grow. Last season we
measured one root that was eleven
inches long when the corn was hard
ly three inches high.
1t might be well 10 suggest to read
ers that they select corn plant or
two and examine the growth of the
roots during the season. They will no
tice how near to the surface they
grow, and how soon they will fill the
space between the rows. A knowledge
of these things would modify the
opinions of many about deep culture
of corn through the season.
In corn culture, a thorough pre-
paration of the soil before planting is
half the battle. If corn land has been
plowed early, and has been narrowed
at least half dozen times before
planting, it will stand drought much
better than if plowed at the latest
moment and narrowed only few
times. Narrowing often before plant
ing conserves the moisture and then
all that is required after the corn is
ready to be cultivated is shallow
scratching about once a week, or ev~
cry time after each rain.
On clay soils we cultivate a little
deeper than on sandy soils. IL clay
soils were drained an average of at
least thirty per cent more corn can be
grown. Drained soil is warm, and
corn cannot do well in cold soil.

crude petroleum. From one to two
inches of sand or dry dirt or thin
layer of straw or fine hay should be
spread on the floor of the coop. Brood
coops should be moved weekly to
fresh ground, preferably where there
is new grass.
Chicks are usually left in the incu-
bator from twenty-four to thirty-six
hours after Matching without feeding
before they are removed to the brood
er, which should have been i'm opera
ton for a day or two at the proper
temperature for receiving the chick
ems. A beginner should try his brood
err system carefully before he uses it.
After placing the chickens in the
brooder they can be given feed and
water.
The capacity of brooders and hovers
is often overestimated, and one-half
to two-thirds of the number of chick
ems commonly advised will do much
better than a large number. The dam
ger from fire, due frequently to care
lessness and lack of attention, is con-
siderable i'm cheap brooders and how
ers, while there is some risk in the
best grades, although proper care will
reduce this to minimum. Individual
hovers in colony houses or several in
one large house are giving quite gen.
eral satisfaction on small poultry
farms, while the pipe system of
brooding is commonly used i'm large
commercial poultry plants and where
extensive winter brooding is done.
Gasoline brooders, brooder stoves
burning engine distillate oil, and a
separate individual hover heated by a
coal fire are coming into more gen
eral use.

In the lesson of two weeks ago we
saw Paul and Silas leaving Philippi
after the night OF wonderful events.
Before they departed they comforted
the household of Lydia and the breth.
rem, who had no doubt been much In
prayer for them chapter xvi. 40). He
would no doubt comfort them, as he
did In his letter 10 them. by the as
surance that all that had happened
had fallen out rather unto the further
ance of the gospel, and as his great
desire was "by all means to save
some, he could and did rejoice in spite
of all his sufferings and shameful
treatment phil. |. II. IS; Cor TX. %.
His next place of testimony was
Thessalonica. where I'm the Jewish syn
agogue for three Sabbath days he rea-
soned with them out of the Scriptures,
working between times at his trade
night and day that he might not be
any expense to them (Thess. ii, 8, %.
The gospel he preached was in the
power of the Holy Spirit, for he spoke
not as pleasing men, but God. who
trieth our hearts, and they received it
not as the word of men, but as it is in
truth the word OF God. and it effectual-
ly worked in those who believed,

and to wait for His Son from heaven.

His coming with His saints q Thess.

Then in his second epistle he cleared
up for them some difficulties which
they had concerning His coming in
glory and the great and dreadful day
of the Lord. The effect of this sadly

them the word concerning the necessi-

Do you see the promise of deliverer

Federal Aid for Highways

Public sentiment throughout the
United States is overwhelmingly in
favor of federal aid i'm highway i'm
provement, as shown in the report re-
centlymade to congress by the joint
committee on federal aid. 1t is no
longer question of the durability of
national law providing for such gov
ernmental help in creating a national
system of good roads, nor of the con-
stitutionality of such an act, but of
deciding upon a measure the provi-
sions of which shall be framed so
carefully that when enacted into law
it will be so equitable and effective
that it will remain practically un-
changed for many years and be Gre
dit to the congress that enacts it.
In its rejort the committee gives
many reasons for recommending ma
tional participation i'm the good roads
movement and clearly indicates that
no doubt exists in the minds of the
members that federal aid law soon
will be passed, although members did
not agree upon any particular plan
or bill to be presented to congress.
Federal aid is justified not only be-
cause past methods, including state
participation in road building, have
proved inadequate, but cbeause the ac-
tivity of the government would en-
phasize the Importance of better
roads, establish higher standards, and
to some extent shift the burden Of ex-
pense from the rural resident to the
city dweller.
Athought under federal aid city
residents would contribute two-thirds
of the money to be expended, and all
would be spent on rural roads outside
of Incorporated cities and villages, no
opposition has been heard to it on
the ground that it would place an I'M
just burden on the city resident, who,
while only directly benefited, appre-
ciates the value of good roads. to the
community and the benefits that all
will enjoy.

Work of Maintaining Roads

Too much stress cannot be laid up
on the Importance Of maintenance in
connection with the work of improv-
ing the roads. The people in nearly
all the states are filled with enthus-
iasm for road improvement and are
spending enormous sums of money in
the construction of superb roads; and
yet almost without exception they are
making little provision to care for the
roads after they are built. This is
true not only in the various counties,
but under many of our state highway
departments.
To maintain the roads in good con-
dition year after year requires con-
siderable annual outlay, but this out
lay is infinitely less than the loss
which must fall upon the people even
tually if they allow their roads to go
to utter ruin. The thing for all adj
vocates of good roads to do is to urge
continuous, systematic maintenance
and the setting aside every year of an
amount per mile estimated by the en-
gineer in charge to be sufficient for
the proper maintenance of the road
course which must make for econ
omy and efficiency.

unusual development of fruit buds,
which will produce this years apple
crop. The buds for the 1917 crop are
now forming, and at this time the
trees require an abundance Of plant
food and moisture. Proper care of
the orchard is more important this
year because of excessive blooming
and of possible drouth.
Conserving the moisture in late
May and early June, offers means
of providing for the fruit-bud develop
ment for the 1917 apple crop. To
this end orchards that are in grass
should have an early application of
fertilizers and mulches about the
trees, and an early cutting of any
cover crops. Thinning the fruit will
not take the place of such practices.
