PROPER TIME FOR MATCHING
Chicks Provided With Abundance Of
Green Feed Grow More Rapidly
Than Those In Yards.

Growing chicks that have, during
the summer. been provided with an
abundance Of range, shade and green
food will grow much more rapidly and
more evenly than those crowded into
small bare yards. The character Of
the range must, therefore, be consid-
cred in deciding on the time for prop
er Matching.
II the chicks are Matched too early,
they are apt to 60 into a fall mott at
ter laying a few eggs In the late sum-
mer, and are not likely to resume lay
ing again until well into the winter,
or after one or more of the most prof
liable laying months have passed. On
the other hand, they should be Matched
early enough to allow sufficient time
for normal maturity before the COM
ing Of cold weather in the fall.

STRAY DOGS LONELY VIGIL
Deserted Grave in Ohio
Cemetery.

FultOnham. ON the cemetery a
homeless cur mourns on the grave of
George Baker. The people call her
1.-The graveyard dog" Five years ago
the animal went to the cemetery fol-
lowing the funeral procession of
Baker, an aged farmer, who died at
his home near there. Every night the
dog keeps a close vigil over the grave.
1t sleeps for hours at a stretch during
the day on the little mound that marks
Bakers resting place.
Villagers long ago gave up hope of
coaxing the dog away. She leaves the
cemetery only long enough each day to
search for food. Friends of Baker say
he never owned the dog. Cemetery
trustees refuse to drive the animal
away and she seems likely to spend
the rest of her days in this strange
and unusual manner.

Bunch Of landlubbers.
Some of the men enlisted for the
cruise are the veriest landubbers.
There are bankers, brokers. lawyers,
ministers, mechanical, mining and civil
engineers, business men Of various
sorts, artists and several bona fide
newspaper men in the New York de-
tachment.

that the first thing newcomer aboard

ABUNDANCE OF TENDER FEED
Bow . Plot Of Ground to Rape and
Give Il to Hens-cabbage and
Oats Also Excellent.

To lay well during the summer and
fall months, the hens must have an
abundance Of tender vegetable matter.
As the weather becomes warm and
dry, the grasses and vegetation on the
range become tough and flbery, and
are not eaten by the hens in sufficient
quantity to induce the best egg yield.
To provide green feed sow plot Of
ground to rape, which Is cut and fed
to the hens. Cabbage and sprouted
oats are also good.
Poke, found growing In waste places
on many farms, Is also eaten by the
hens with a relish. II the shoots and
leaves Of the poke stalk are pulled
and fed, while small and tender, the
plant will throw out new sprouts and
branches that will be ready for feeding
In 10 days or two weeks. These small
shoots and leaves, even in dry weather,
are always succulent and tender. 1t
certainly is surprising the amount Of
green fed a big poke stalk will supply
In u season.
