PREVENT DISEASE
AMONG THE CHICKS

Most Of the losses by disease occur
before the chick is three weeks old.
Head lice kill many, it is true, but
bowel trouble Of one form or another
Is responsible for the death Of great
majority. Why should they have bowel
trouble? There may be various rea-
sons, but most all troubles of this ma
ture are due to either improper feeding
or improper care. By the latter we in
clude improper housing, insufficient
heat and various other items too nu-
merous to mention.
If chickens are not given or allowed
access to find sand from the very first
an important point In their feeding has
been overlooked. Chicks Matched In an
incubator seldom get this, and this
simple omission accounts for many
deaths through disorders of the bowels.
A gizzard is part of the digestive sys-
tenn of chick and must have the i'm
plements with which to do its work
In the small chick the implements are
fine bits Of sand. The gizzard is soon
supplied with this In the case Of the
hen Matched chicks when they have ac-
cess to earth.
The question of what to feed is i'm
portant, but it is not only important to

see that sweet and wholesome food is
provided, but 1t is equally important to
see that these are put into the proper
form-that is. we must not consider
alone the kind OF food particle, but
also the size and consistency of that
particle. For instance, no one would
think of feeding chicks whole corn, no
matter how sweet or how well sea-
soned; 1t is too hard and too large.
On the other hand, IL the particles
are too fine the food becomes pasty
and collects in a mass or ball as soon
as wet by juices of the crop. The food
Is then more resisting to both the
juices of the digestive tract and to the
mechanical action of the gizzard.
Formerly it was the generally accept.
ed notion that the first food of young
chicks should be soft or semisoft as
bread and milk, hard boiled eggs or
soft mash, but while such foods are
well for a few days and for a pleasant
variety when chicks are given differ
ent foods for a principal diet, they are
not necessary, and fully as good re-
suits are obtained by feeding finely
cracked, well seasoned sweet grains.
The old fashioned pinhead oatmeal
makes an ideal food of just the right
consistency for baby chicks and could
be fed from the first. Corn and wheat,
when cracked to about this size. make
splendid chick feed. even for the first
feeds

HOW NEW YORK HAS GROWN.
Tho Metropolis Absorbed Villages as
Old as Itself In 1898.

A metropolis grows up in two ways.
At first it expands legitimately. adding
furlong to furlong Of growth. Then 1t
leaps forward and seizes a large area
overnight by act Of legislature or par
lament, sweeping into its net score
of villages and settlements. Then it
proceeds to consolidate its position by
filing up the intervening spaces. In
European cities they have an inner
ring. which Is the old city, and an
outer ring, which may be anything.
New York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle,
have their inner rings, which are the
legitimate city, and the outer ring,
which came by the get-big- quick meth
cd. New York succumbed to the pro-
moter's fever in 1898. In that year the
city absorbed large areas Of virgin soil

The Big Morning Rush, the LuII and

Wall street comes to work late, the

telephone Is the busiest in the world,
and Wall streets chief telephone ex-

Up to 8 In the morning the number
Of calls passing through the various

After 8. Wall street puts on its hat

Pear Orchards Profitable.

favorable, may be more profitable than
an apple orchard, for the reason that
pears are not so generally grown as

seem more susceptible to attacks from
disease than the former.

HELPFUL HINTS
FOR HOUSEWIVES
Device For Hanging Heavy
Rugs For Beating.

An easy way to put a heavy carpet
or rug over clothesline is to fasten
two pulleys, one to the house and the
other to post or tree or on two posts,
and hang the line between them.
Then, while the line is on the ground,
pull the rug over the line, says Popu-
lar Mechanics. A very heavy rug can
be easily hung In this manner. The
line should be long enough to reach
over the pulleys and to the ground and
have end enough at both supports for
fastening.

NEW ORLEANS AND
 MEMPHIS TOF|GHT
 FOR HIGHER LIMITS
Will Make Fight at Meeting Today for. Increase in the Player and Salary Limit
 for Coming Season
By HERBERT CALDWELL

Memphis, February 25.-(SpeciaL )-Mem- phis and New Orleans will make fight for an increase in the player and salary limits at the Southern league directors meeting in Atlanta tomorrow.
 This was the statement made by John D. Martin, president of the Memphis Baseball club before he and Secretary Tom Watkins departed for Atlanta last night.
 Memphis is assured the support of Pres ident Heineman of New Orleans in the fight for an increase in the player and salary limits, according to President Mar tin.
 MT. Martin said: eve are going to the one aim in view as far as Memphis is concerned, and that is an increase in the salary and player limits. I have been assured the support of President Heineman of New Orleans in the fight and expect to make it a fight to the finish
 We will ask for nothing else at the meeting" continued Mr Martin. Mem phis is the best baseball town in the Southern league and we want to give the peOple WndL they are enCllleQ to. 1 am for an increase in the player limit to 15 players, which would assure the Mem- phis club giving it's patrons better brand of baseball If the player limit is increased to another player, of course the salary limit would have to be in- creased from $2S00 to provide for that extra player.
 Memphis last season led the league in attendance and contributed to the league more than any other club in the circuit. The better baseball Memphis supplies it's patrons the better the club will fare financially. It also means that much more for visiting clubs. In view of the fact that Memphis and New Orleans were two of the leading clubs in drawing attend ance last season and were the largest contributors to the welfare of the league financially I think we nave an excellent opportunity to win our fight; certainly it will be a fight to the finish"
 Whether President Watkins and Presi- dent Heineman are assured the support of any other clubs in the league, MT. Martin did not state
