ANIMAL FOOD FOR CHICKENS
Sour Milk Exerts Beneficial Influence
on Digestion of Young Fowls,
Account Its Acid.

The best animal food for chicks is
sour milk. On account Of the acid il
contains sour milk eXerts a beneficial
influence on the digestion of the
chick. Sour milk can safely be kept
before the chicks all the time. Milk
should always be supplied in fountains
that will not permit the chick to get
it's down wet. A chick stuck up with
milk is a sorry sight. Vessels in
which milk is supplied should be
scalded and aired daily.
Some poultrymen still practice and
advocate the feeding Of eggs tested
out of %incubators to baby chicks. A
hard-boiled egg, when OF known quail
ity, makes a rather indigestible food
for the chicks tender organs, but
when eggs are fed that come from an
incubator that has subjected them
to a temperature Of 103 degrees for a
week, one is counting danger. Not all
eggs that are tested out Of %incubators
are infertile.
If you feed tested-out eggs to baby
chicks be quite certain that they are
infertile. Eggs containing blood spots
or red streaks should be discarded, as
they were fertile and the germs are
in a state of decomposition. The in
fertile egg, when held before a strong
light, is perfectly clear.

"GiBRALTAR OF THE BALTIC"
Powerful Fortress of %Sveaborg, Guard
Ing the Gulf of Finland, Has Been
Frequently So Called.

After more than Is months Of navai
war upon the Baltic sea between the
fleets Of Germany and Russia, the iirst
successful shot has yet to be fired
against the mighty fortress of Svea-
borg, which guards the neck Of the
Gulf Of Finland, and the water ap-
proaches to the Russian capital, says
a bulletin issued by the National Geo.
graphic society at Washington. Svea-
borg, best known as the Gibraltar of
the Baltic" powerfully secures its
holders control to all the wide basin
Of the Gulf Of Finland, thus giving
putting the control Of the northern
inland sea-. It was the acquisition OF
this stronghold that constituted the
strongest impelling force in Musco-
vite politics toward the conquest OF
Finland from the Swedes.
Across the neck of the gulf from
Sveaborg lies Reval, the seat of other
powerful shore defenses and Of i'm
portant Russian navy yards. These
two points block the way from the
Baltic against any naval power al
most as securely IS the forts kil1d
Bahr and Chanak Kalessi blocked the
English ships at the Dardanelles.
Reval is situated on a sharp bay at
the northeastern gulf shore of Es-
tonia. Sveaborg fortress stands just
before Helsingfors, the capital of Fin
land.
There are hundreds Of small, thick
ly wooded islands strewn over the
coastal waters around H~elsingfors. 1t
is upon a group Of v of such is
lands, which are larger than their
%neigh5ors, that the almost impregna-
BILE Sveaborg fortress is built. More
over, small redoubts and batteries are
we'll concealed in several of the out
lying islands which surround, like a
thinly-fung skirmish line, the fortress
near the coast.
Many a vain seward attack has
shattered against Sveaborg's defenses
in bygone days, and in recent years
Russia has brought the strength OF
the place up to Twentieth Century re-
quirements. 1t is said that more than
1000 guns are mounted here and v
eral thousand soldiers are quartered
in the fortress even in times Of peace.
During the Crimean var the allies at
tackled this point violently and with
out success The story goes that Eng
lish guns alone hurled more than a
thousand tons of shot and shell into
the fortress, almost without apparent
effect. 1t has fallen only once, and
then bribery is credited with victory
and not the force of arms. 1t sur
rendered to the Russians without an
effort at defense, %surrendering at the
same time that its garrison Of 6,o0O
men laid down their arms and turned
over their formidable defenses, the
whole country of Finland.

EGGS SAVED FOR INCUBATOR
Should Be Kept in Cool, WeIl-Venti-
lated Place-Aim to Keep Germ
in Good Condition.

Eggs saved for incubators, or for
Matching in any manner, should be
kept in a cool, well-ventilated place,
and not too dry, so as to retain the
moisture and keep the germ in a good,
healthy condition. We keep our eggs
in bran, using enough to hold the egg
up on the small end, says a writer in
an exchange. We do not believe eggs
cared for in this manner need any
turning before being i%ncubated. Each
egg must stand alone, and none should
be piled on top. Eggs saved for only
two OF three days can be kept in a
basket or fiat box, but it is not well to
have too many layers.

Oil Surplus LIS Waste.

One of the causes Of the lubricant
working out from the differential case
between the aXles and tubes of the
automobile to the brakes and wheels
is due to using too large a supply of
oil or grease in the differential case.
1t Is not necessary to completely fill
the housing, only to a point where
the large gear will dip into the lubri-
cant. If the leakage continues, fit felt
washers at the differential and wheel
ends of the aXles.
AS the wire employed for ignition
purposes is composed of a large mum.
Der of fine strands Of copper, it is I'M
rcrtant that they should be soldered
to a terminal or connection to avoid
the possibility Of any of the strands
coming in contact with metal and
causing a short circuit.

to turkeys and chicks also, and is a
protein food. The three can be COM
bined in a mash, made rather dry,
never sloppy, and make an excellent
starter for the little poults. This
alone is their food for three weeks,
fed in small quantities OF a clean
board. For the first three days they
are better shut in the coop with the
mother, but otter that they should
romp at will in the dry grass.
Grcin is given only a little at first,
and gradually increased until it forms

night, and after they are large enough
to wander over a wide range one feed

cracked corn are perhaps the best

GRADING THE LITTLE CHICKS
Grade According to Size and Vigor or
Arrange Things So Weak Ones
Are Comfortable.

Owing to differences in the vigor of
parent stock, age of eggs when incu-
bated, and other causes, there are al
ways differences in the vitality of the
chicks, and these manifest themselves
very quickly. The stronger chicks
shove the weaker away from the food,
crowd them out of the sunniest spots
in the brooder, and take the best OF
things generally.
Since the most vigorous chicks are
the most valuable, we do not like to
discourage this disposition to thrive,
but strong chicks should not thrive
at the expense of the weak. AS soon
as there is a p%erceptible difference
in the size of the chicks, either grade
the chicks according to size. or fix
things so the weak. chicks can eat by
themselves.

FEEDING CHICKS SOUR MILK
Dangers of White Oiarrhea and Other
Diseases Can Be Greatly Re-

BY feeding sour milk to chicks, the
dangers of white d:arrhea and other
chick diseases can be greatly reduced.
The feeding of sour milk has a bene-
fetal influence for the growth Of
chicks and in lessening mortality from
all causes.
The milk should be fed in porcelain
lined pans and should be kept be-
