FEEDING MILK TO CHICKENS
Has Most Favorable Influence on
Growth and Lessenin9 of Mortal.
( ity Average Among Flocks.

The feeding Of milk to young chicks
has a most favorable influence on the
growth, and on lessening the mortal
ity average.
Sweet and sour milk are OF equal
value in chick feeding. The degree Of
sourness does not affect the nutritive
vaiue.
Chicks fed milk freely should have
abundant exercise. This applies par
ticularly to early hatched or brooder
chicks.
In no way is milk injurious, but
whether you feed sweet or sour milk,
the same should be fed continually
until the end Of the milk feeding
period. Whichever is most convenient,
adhere to consistently.

ly dried corn and wheat. Pinhead oat-
meal and little millet are also very
good.
Green food in the form Of finely
sliced onion tops are very good. but
must indeed be fed very sparingly.
Keep the turkeys cool, and above
all, free from lice and in clean sur
roundings. Do not allow them to
stroll through long grass early IN the
morning, thus becoming exhausted
and wet.

FEEDING THE YOUNG TURKEY
breeder Should Remember, First OF
All, Never to Overfeed and Never

In feeding small turkeys, remember
never to overfeed, and never to feed
anything the least spoiled. Feed often
but very little at a time. Provide grit
and charcoal Feed plenty of sour
milk in addition to fresh drinking
water. Mix a little wheat bran and
middlings with the cornmeal, moisten
this a very little with sour milk and
feed sparingly in low rim pie tins. In
addition feed very sparingly of little

Watch Fowls Closely.

Watch your flocks closely. 1t often
happens that when mated up, the male
is not popular-at least not generally.
1t is a common thing to notice some
females that persistently and success
fully avoid the male placed with them,
and a change to another pen and male
produce marked difference. If there
are such cases in your yards, try the
changing method.

STATEMENT OF EARNINGS
OF MEN EMPLOYED BY
SOUTHEASTERN RAILWAYS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-IT
train and engine employees for in
creased wages, the following state
ment of earnings of men employed IN
freight service in the Southeastern
territory was issued today by the
Executive Committee of the South
eastern Railways:
ION the railways in the Southeast
the prevailing minimum rates of pay
for employees in freight service are
as follows
For engineers in through freight
service from $5.15 to $3.50 per day
for engines of ordinary types; in To-
cal service from $5.25 to $500 for
engines of ordinary types; in both
through and local service from 1926
to $500 for Mallet type engines.
For white firemen on engines OF
ordinary types from 1913 to $3.50
per day in through service; from
$500 to $3.50 in local service; on
Mallet engines in both through and
local service from $500 to $4.25.
For conductors in through freight
service $4.10 per day; in local SER
vice $3.50 per day.
For white brakemen in through
freight service $2.75 per day; in To-
cal service $500 per day.
THE foregoing are the minimum
daily rates that must be made by the
railways to each employe in the
classes named who does any work at
all in day, irrespective of how few
hours he may be on duty or of how
few miles he may actually run. These
rates are paid for any work up to
100 miles, with additional pay for
overtime if the run is not completed
in the specified number of hours.
"On the other hand, the daily earn
ings of employees frequently very
much exceed these figures, as the act
ual earnings above the minimum de-
pend upon the number of miles run,
and in the case of fast freight runs,
the earnings are much higher for
comparatively short hours.
Taking as an illustration a fast
freight train running over a division
The Johnson City comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1916-1917, 1916-05-25

$50 miles long where the daily run
might be made in Z hours and 80
minutes-the engineer would receive
for this 713 hours on duty the sum of
$50, the fireman $40, the conductor
$6.15, and the white brakeman $4.10.
THUS while the first figures show
the minimum that can be paid an
engineer, fireman, conductor or brake
man for a days work. the latter fig
ures show the wages that can be and
that are being made by train and en-
CINE employees on fast freights on long
divisions, such as are being run ev-
cry day in regular service by a num-
Der of roads in the Southeast for
handling live stock, perishables and
other freight which it is necessary
to move on expedited schedules
"In yard service the standard rates
for white employees vary from $500 to
$3.50 per day for day switchmen, and
from $500 to $40 for night switch
men, and from $3.50 to $3.50 per day
for day conductors, and from 1870
are the minimum rates that can be
paid for a day or any part of a day
up to 10 hours, after 10 hours pro-
rata overtime is paid.
Under the mems proposals the
lowest yard employees who now re-
ceive $500 for a 10 hour day would
receive $500 for an 8 hour day, or
$4.12 for the work at present per-
formed in 10 hours, and the night
yard conductor now receiving $500
for his 10 hour day would receive this
$500 for his hour day, or $3.50 for
the work at present performed in 10
hours"

SHIELDS VOTE IN
FAVOR OF BRANDEIS
SAVED THE DAY
Senate Judiciary Committee Recon-

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 24-The
senate Judiciary committee today rec
commended confirmation of the nomi
nation of Louis d. Brandeis to the
supreme court by a strict party vote
all the democrats voting for confirm
alton and all the republicans against
confirmation.
Supporters of the nominees plan to
ask for action on the recommends
ton by the senate tomorrow at an
executive session, while the opposing
senators are planning to force, if
possible, open sessions for the con-
longed debate may result but Mr..
Brandeis' friends claim he will be
confirmed before the recess for the
national conventions begin on June
Sd.
After weeks spent in taking testi-
mony through a subcommittee in
discussing the subcommittee re-
port, action came today without de-
bate in a seven minute session. There
was nothing said beyond calling the
roll. Doubt as to the outcome ex-
i9lCu until Jue name VI OeHdUOT
Shields was reached. His vote in ia
vor of Mr.. Brandeis was the deciding
factor, the committee standing 10 to
for a favorable report.
Just before going to the committee
Senator Shields conferred with Sena-
tor Smith of Georgia, who had made
an investigation outside the record
during the absence of Senator
Shields who returned today from
Knoxville. The Georgia senator had
interviews with members of the In
terstate Commerce commission and
several Boston lawyers in regard to
the charges against Mr.. Brandeis and
after satisfying himself that the char
ges were not sustained had a talk
