FEEDING VARIES

sickness will result.
FEEDING VARIES
Ordinarily. fowls are fed three
times per day but this will vary
with the food nsef Where d dry
mash ia before tbe bird constant
~, feed the whole and cracked
grains only twice a day. Feed
the birds more often If you wish
TO keep them active. This Is to
be recommended where the litter
on the floor is not too deep.
If the wet mash is fed as the
evening meal, it is advisable to
give the birds all they can eat.
In the daytime, however, any.
thing over a half feed will cause
inactivity and will prove detri-
mental.
Undertaking ia much more
dangerous than overlooking.
Birds will not produce the desir-
ed number. of eggs unless fed
properly and the young chicks
will not thrive if undelfed.
While there is little danger Of
overlooking, the hen that takes
on fat from overlooking, does not
lay, and has no place In q flock
kept for that purpose.
GRIT AND SHELL NEEDED
Both grit and shell are of prime
Importance to both old and young
chickens. Birds do not grind
their food with oyster shell,
therefore q reasonable amount of
charcoal should be kept before
them the entire time. Where
the powdered form of charcoal IS
used in the mash, it is advisable
to have in the hoppers where the
chickens can easily secure 1t. AL
ways remember that the oyster
shell does not take the place of
the charcoal, and neither does the
charcoal take the place of the
oyster shell. Good clean, fresh
water must always be kept in
front of the birds. 1t should be
kept in cool place in the sum-
mer and In warm place In the
winter. Protect it from filth and
dirt. 1t has no place in the poul-
try house.
AUTOMATIC FEEDERS
Many chicken raisers are get.
ting excellent results from the
feeders, Of which there
are many on the market. These
are operated by the birds them
selves ard eliminate all dancer
of unterfee ding. While in some
insta noes they have not given
perfect satisfaction, they heve
proven Of great value with the
more active breeds.
BIRDS MUST EXERCISE
Exercise is as necessary as
food, and fowls cannot get along
properly without It. They Will
not consume the necessary
amount of food, as they naturally
will not assimll8te it unless they
have constant exercise. 1t is
good rule to fesd all the whole or
cracked grain in deep litter,
perhaps making an exception in
the hottest weather where the
house u ay get too warm for com
fort or where birds are on range
during the summer season.
snake them work for their liv-
ing" Is a slogan that will pay ev
cry poultryman.
Remember also, that feed will
do your fowls but little good If
they are troubled With lice. All

Foreign Minister Aguiiar's state
ment published yesterday in Mex
leo City was interpreted here as be-
ing intended for Mexicans only: the
State Department has had no word
that il was designed as an official an
swer to Americas "gravest conse-
quences" note. Despite its language.
State Department men said il was
milder than Carranzas
first note. II did not demand with
drawal OF the American expedition.
though ii suggested these forces had
no right to stay here.
Then again-and what officials con-
slider more signihcant-the statement
said nothing as TO what course Car
rama intends TO pursue toward Amer
ican forces now below the boundary.
The note had not reached the State
Department up to noon. Secretary
Lansing believed II probably would
come to Mexican Ambassador Are
dondo. who was yesterday asked to
expedite II.
Secretary Lansing and other gov
ernment officials told the United Press
they had no information either from
State Department sources or foreign
diplomats as to what Carranza will
answer
The fact that South American and
European diplomats. as well as United
States friends Of Carranza, are doing
all in their power to swing Carranza
in line, made some officers think that

WASHINGTON, d. c., July LIN
the House of Representatives yester-
day the bill to provide compensation
for employees of the United States suf-
fering injuries while in the perform
ance OF their duties and for other pur-
poses was taken up for consideration.
This bill is commonly known as the
Kern-McGillicuddy bill, as il was in
troduced in the Senate and House by
Senator Kern and Representative Nc
.Gillicuddy. respectively. Representa-
tive Thomas w. Miller. of Delaware.
was given time to speak on the bill
and made some remarks in support
of this measure. Mr.. Miller stated
that to date in the present Congress
about S1.000.000 OF bills had been in
troduced and referred to the commit
tee on claims, of which he is a mem
ber, dealing solely with compensation
for injuries to employees in the vari-
Gus departments of the government.
Under the present Federal compensa-
ton law only years salary can be
paid to the widow or survivor. He
said that many times he had been
forced to report bills for paltry sums
when 1t was revolving to do So in
view Of the injuries and possible death
which ensued. Mr.. Miller said in
part as follows:
Mr.. Chairman. the legislation pro
posed by this bill is wise. Just an,
economical TO the government Their,
are about 100000 employees OF tn,

and the present act of May 80. 1908
under which Federal employees re
ceive compensation for injury an,
death while in the service of the gov
ernment only covers about 100000 o
them. In my opinion. the act of Ma,
30, 1908. is a reflection on this grea
government. ] have had plenty o
chances to see how this act operates

have such compensation laws whicl
