To discuss ways and means of COM
pleting the improvements to the
roadway between the city and Lake
Madison at the earliest possible date,
the joint good roads committee of
the Commercial club and Madison
Merchants association will meet to-
morrow evening in the Commercial
club rooms.
DR.. Fl. II. F~rudenfeld, chairman of
the joint committee, said today that
no doubt now exists but that the
grading and graveling Of the three
miles or so of highway will be done
during the early summer. He told
that the amount of money realized
! through public subscription, had e X
ceeded the committees expectations,
As two or three men who have not
yet subscribed, but have expressed a
willingness to do so, are yet to be
seen, the total mount of money thai
will be on hand to further the project
will not be known until a report Is
submitted at tomorrow nights meet

road completed by the time the chau-
tauqua opens in June.

RANGE FOR YOUNG CHICKENS
Problem Of Supply Green Feed Doea
Not Receive Sufficient Attention
From Farmer.

The problem of supplying range
or green feed for chicks does not re-
ceive sufficient attention. This is an
important side of the proper rearing
Of poultry and the farmer who has
sour sldmmillS to spare and a good
green range has more than half his
chick problem solved.
For temporary feeding, one can soak
oats overnight in water, wash them
thoroughly next morning and spread
them In half-inch layers in boxes or
trays. Place these trays in the shade
outdoors and sprinkle with water twice
daily. In from three to six days the
oats will be ready for feeding. For ba-
by chicks feed when the sprouts are
one-half inch long, giving once daily
what the chicks will eat In about ten
minutes.
Rape may be sown and, when grown,
cut UP and fed to chicks. Cabbage,
lettuce. mangels, beets, turnips can al
so be used for green feed.
The only really satisfactory way,
however, to supply green feed and a
good range Is to sod piece Of land
to Bermuda grass by blowing the
ground and dropping piece Of Ber-
muda sod every 10 inches, and to put
some burr clover into this Bermuda
grass In the fall.

GARDEN NOTES

Tulips increase by bulblets which
issue from the side of the larger
bulbs. Under certain conditions, too,
the larger bulbs split up into smaller
ones.
In well-drained, sunny bed the
bulbs will live and increase from year
to year, but should be lifted, divided
and reset every third year, as the
clumps become too much crowded to
thrive and bloom.
In ported lilies, set the bulbs two
inches or more beneath the soil. The
larger the pot, the larger will be the
plant.
Auratum, Speciosum, Longiform and
Brownii are all suitable for pot cul.
ture.
After potting, water and set in a
dark closet or cellar, keeping the soil
moist until roots form and the tops
start, when the roots may be brought
to cool window, say in January or
February, If early started.

which have yellow pigment In the
earlobe at the start of the season
white earlobe will be an indication Of
high production. These birds with
yellow pigment in the earlobe will lay
out this color until the lobes are
white.
1.-THE smoothness, pliability and oili-
ness of the skin are indications OF
egg production. A laying bird has o
softer, smoother feeling than the nom

"Due to the yollSs developing in the
ovary and the increase In size Of the
oviduet. the abdomen swells out In
preparation for the laying season.
When bird gets ready to stop lay
ing the abdomen shrlnks. This fact
is valuable in telling what the bird
may do for the next two or three
weeks. or by knowing whether the bird
is laying at certain time Of the year.
'The practical application OF these
facts Is to discard at the end OF lay
ing year all pullets which have yellow
shanks, dried-up combs and shrunken
abdomens."

IRIS

Take some strong clumps Of iris
about two or three years old and not
too large. Leave the earth on them
and take them up just before the
ground freezes and put them in large
potsin cool cellar. If they do freeze
it will not hurt them, but see that the
frost comes out gradually.
Bring them up to the light and put
them in southern exposure and they
will flower during February and
March. II white ones are planted
beautiful Easter flowers will be pro-
vided. With care iris will bloom al
most half the year. The flowers grown
in the house are more delicate and
beautiful than if grown out Of doors.
Other winter flowers are expensive,
but these can be secured at little cost,
and when once started one can get
them from ones own garden.
Experiment with irises this fall ; you
will get pleasure and profit from 1t.

FEED PENS FOR BABY CHICKS
Wire Covered Yard Of Laths, Placed
Close Enough to Keep Old Fowls
Out, VIII Suffice.

II old and young chicks are allowed
to range together, feeding pens should
be made for the baby chicks. A wire
covered yard of laths, placed far
enough apart to permit the chicks to
get between, and wide enough SO that
the older birds cannot reach their
heads in to feed, Is cheaply and easily
made. A box deep enough to prevent
the old birds reaching in, with wire
fence in front, will protect the feed
hoppers from the weather. In such
hoppers, keep dry mash Of ground
grains, charcoal, cracked bone and
grit. The hoppers should not furnish
the only food; cracked corn scattered
in the litter makes good exerciser.

Development OF THE CHICK
Egg Furnishes Feed, Water and Other
Necessary EssentiaIs--Heatc Causes
Incubation.

Each egg produced by good, vigor-
Gus hens running with strong ROOFS
ter and housed and fed under proper
conditions is the possibility Of another
chick. Ia the egg is a home and 1t
contains feed, water and all that Is
necessary for the development of the
chick, except heat. It Is the appli-
cation OF this heat under favorable
conditions that is called incubation.
At the time the egg Is laid the de-
velopment of the chick has been GO
ing on rapidly for several hours. As
soon as the temperature drops down
below 10 degrees i. this growth stops
and the embryo goes into resting
stage until the egg is again warmed
up. This very young chick, called
the blastoderm, rests on tie upper sur
face of the yolk.
Immediately surrounding the yollz
extending out at opposite sides toward
the large and small ends Of the egg
Is dense opaque layer of albumin
or white called chalaza which tends
to support the yolk and lessons it's
movement, except as it revolves on
the <chalaza as an axis to keep the
blastodern at the top. The rest of
the white Is more watery and more
transparent and Is surrounded by two
rather tough membranes and the shell.
These two membranes separate at the
large end Of the egg and form the air
cell which In a fresh egg Is about the
size of a dime, but increases with age
due to evaporation Of moisture. The
shell being porous permits the passage
of air or moisture in or out.

BEAUTlFYING THE HOME
GROUNDS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

If you want your bed of cannas or
showing from now to frost, give them
a frost-like covering of bonemeal +; then
stir the soil, water thoroughly and
mulch with lawn clippings. Do this
toward the end of this month and be
sure to remove the fading flowers.
Copy nature by sowing seeds of
perennials as they ripen. Provide some
sort Of shade for the seed bed. A
screen made of 1ath or one of I'M
bleached muslin will answer.
The robust-growing plants will need
some sort of support. Let the supports
be painted green or oiled to bring out
the grain of the wood and you will
find them more pleasing than rough
sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive
the stakes fast into the earth little
lower than the plants, so that they are
inconspicuous.
The plants needing supports are such
hardy perennials as delphiniums,
giant foxgIove and snapdragons. Do
not overlook giving stakes to the dahl
las, cosmos, hydrangeas and gladi-
oil.
To maintain continuous blooming
from now until frost, few perennials
must be preserved. Make habit of
cutting flowers freely and remove all
the fading blossoms and nature will re-
ward you with a lavish hand.
After this month, allow the chrysan-
themums to grow according to their
own will-that is, stop pinching them
back.

most effective suits follow current

Good Practice to Throw Limited
Amount of Rolled Oats on Floor
for Chicks to Clean Up.

A good first feed is to throw a linn
tied amount of rolled oats on the floor,
only the amount that the chicks will
clean up in about one hour. Rolled
oats are very nutritious and relished
by the chicks and are excellent as
first feed. However, their continued
use is not advised. Hard boiled eggs,
ground in food chopper and mixed
with dry crumbs may also be success

FINE FOR THE FARMERS
Hogs and Cattle Still On High Grade
Review of Situation.

Farmers and stock raisers are all
delighted with the way the stock
markets have been keeping up in
prices. A review of last weeks
markets sent out from Chicago early
this week had this to say:
All stock yard values are being
maintained at phenomenally high lev
els. Cattle are selling at the pima
Gle of the year and some grades have
never realized as much money pre-
been redeemed and a large proper
ton of the steer crop has sold at
S9@9.75 than during any previous
March.
Hogs have reacted close to the high
point of the year, Canadian packers
paying 5000 for bacon stuff last
week, while sales below 1918 have
been very few. Lambs crawled up
close to the $12 mark last week,
S11.90, a record price having been
paid light stuff from Colorado feed
lots. An acute scarcity of aged
sheep has developed, carload lots of
wethers or ewes being rare. Even
at this basis trade appears healthy
and killers are constantly compelled
to aid their needs.
A year ago cattle selling above So
were regarded as specialties and
packers had access to acres of $40
IT'S steers. Such weighty bullocks
as are now in demand at 1918 were
then hard to move at $7.75. Hogs
were then selling largely at $1,000
6.75, the top being 6.95. Lambs were
considered high at $3.50 and $40
TOP was heralded far and wide. Fat
sheep sold at $7.75 against 1925 at
present. Just six years ago, on a
$11.2O, cost of packers droves at
that time figuring around $11. That
market was made on the smallest re-
ceipts in a quarter of a century,
while the present SO trade has been
possible on the heaviest run in trade
history.
