HOLDINGS.

Rapid City, July 14.-With the
passage by congress of the non-con-
tiguous homestead act, land filings
are being received at the local land
office at the rate of nearly 200
daily. Former homesteader holders
are taking advantage of the new law
to increase their holdings to the 800
acre limit and many new filings are
being entered
Under the new law the holder is
allowed to file on any land that is
open, whether ii adjoins his holdings
or not. The only stipulations in re-

CONTROL GAPES IN CHICKENS
Little Danger Of Trouble II Youngsters
Are Kept OF Ground and Out
OF Wet.

The gapes often cause heavy loss
in a flock Of young chickens. II care
is taken to keep the chicks of of the
ground and to keep them out Of the
wet there need be little danger. Gapes
are caused by small worms that fasten
themselves to the inside wall Of the
~windpipe. They thus obstruct the pas
sag of the air and cause suffocation.
The cape is a parasite in the COM
mon earthworm. When chicks are per-
mitted to run at large and especially
when their runs are on wet ground
or wet grass they pick up many earth
worms. When the ground is very wet,
as after a rain or even in the morn
ing after a heavy dew, many Of these
worms come to the surface. The chicks
pick them up and thus introduce the
gapeworms into their system.
Some ground that has long been
used for chicken run may become
badly infested with gapeworms. A
change of location is advisable. Pillow
up the old range, grow a crop on it and
In a year or two it will likely be free
from parasites.-Ohio State Univer'
sity.

COOEING NOW EASY

a Simple Matter.

Hay-box cookery is not a new idea
by any means, but recently Il has had
quite a revival. and in these times Of
dear fuel and expensive foodstuffs it
is a boon and a blessing to the worried
housewife. They are easily made at
home and cost next to nothing.
Purchase from the grocer a nice-sized
box, say % inches long and % inches
wide and deep; II the box has a hinged
lid, so much the better. This style of
box can usually be had for a few cents.
Line the box well with old newspa-
pers; use several thicknesses, as Il is
important to stop up any crevice. In
the center of the box place a piece OF
wood that will divide Il into two. Fill
each portion with hay; pack the hay
in tightly, then in the center of each
portion make q hollow or nest ready
to receive the vessel containing food
or liquid. q

the lid is then closed down v Q all
and slow cooking will proceed for as
long as the box is kept closed. The
box will last for years, and is no ex-
pense at all, save now and again re-
newing the supply of hay.
Just the ordinary cooking utensils
are needed, such as jam jars, casse-
roles, and stewing jars.
All food put in the hay-box must be
at boiling point when put inf a con.
tinued slow cooking is desired. When
cooking porridge, stews, etc, bring to
the boil on the fire or stove; let it boil
for five minutes, then put the vessel
containing the food straight in the hay
box, " and close the lid. The food
can then be left thus slowly cooking
for hours without any attention, anC

WAY TO PREVENT EGG EATING
Provide Low, Covered Nests and Dark
as Possible-Dose Of Cayenne
Pepper ls Good.

A good way OF preventing egg-eating
is to provide low, covered nests. It
is also a good idea to have the nests
as dark as pos 5ible. This a be done
by stretching a curtain partly across
one corner of the house and having
all the nests in the darkened corner.
Barely enough light should enter for
the hens to see the nests The nests
should be covered and so low that the
hen barely has to creep on and
on. When unable to stand upright
In a nest, II is impossible for her to
get at the eggs with Aer beak.
Another method that is often recon-
mended is to give the egg-eater a
good dose OF cayenne pepper. This
is done by making a small opening in
the end Of an egg and drawing of
part OF its contents. The egg is
then hlled with cayenne pepper, which
mixes with the egR-substance left in
the she'll. When ready, the egg ia
placed In full view on the poultry
house floor. The egg-eaters immedi-
ately pounce upon It, and the coughing
and sneezing that results Is evidence
that the treatment Is effective.

MARKETING THE DUCKS EGGS
Most Buyers Make No Quotations Elk
cept Early In sprlna--Pure White
Egg Preferred.

The demand for ducks eggs at a
good price is limited and not nearly
as general as the demand for hens
g The quality OF ducks eggs on
the average market was poor until
people began to keep Indian Runner
ducks and to build up a trade in first
class eggs. A good demand for ducks
g & exists about Easter time at
prices usually several cents a dozen
higher than for hens eggs, but during
the rest of the year the average price
for ducks eggs has been about the
same as for hens eggs.
Most buyers make no quotations
for ducks eggs except early in the
spring. Since three ducks eggs weigh
about the same as four hens eggs.
ducks do not appear to be as profita-
BILE for the production OF market eggs
as fowls.
A trade is being established gradual
ly in some markets for fancy nearby
ducks eggs which bring higher prices
than hens eggs, and the demand
seems to be increasing. Pure white
eggs are preferred and usually bring
the highest price. These eggs should
be marketed frequently, as they de-
preciate in quality more rapidly than
hens eggs, especially in hot weather.
The market for eggs should be inves-
tigated carefully by those who intend
to raise breeds of the ~egg-laying type
Of ducks, such as the Indian Runner.

UNLIMITED RANGE FOR HENS
Does Not Necessarily Mean That
Fowls Should Be Given Free
dom Of Stables and Sheds.

Unlimited range has its advantages,
but If unlimited range NEAR that the
fowls have the privileges of the sta
bles, wagon sheds and roosting on the
wheels and machinery. then the un-
limited range is a nuisance. To give
poultry plenty of room does not imply
that the fowls should go where they
please. A hen has no place in a stable
any more than a COW has any right
In a poultryhOuse.
Little by little the droppings accum-
ulate during the season until every
thing is too filthy to handle, and the
work of cleaning will be more than the
real value of the fowls. Keep poultry
away from other stock.

The two most important factors in
chick raising are comfort and proper
food, according to N. L. Harris, super
intendent OF the Kansas agricultural
college poultry farm.
THE little chick, whether naturally
Or a%rtiicially Matched, should not be
given anything to eat until Il shows
signs of being decidedly hungry, which
viii usually be in about 36 to 4S
hours" comments Superintendent Har-
ris. zone Of the first feeds that the
young chick should receive is fine sand
or commercial chick grit and a good
drink OF sour milk or buttermilk If
possible. More digestive troubles in
incubator chicks are caused by lack OF
grit than by any other one hing.
zone OF the essentials in maintain
ing good digestion is a liberal supply
Of either SOU milk or buttermilk. In
a few hours after the sand and milk
have been fed. a very small quantity
Of hard boiled egg, including the
she'll. chopped fine and mixed with
bread crumbs or rolled oats. may be
given. A good proportion Is n part
egg and Eve parts bread crumbs or
rolled oats.
Mash for Young Chicks.
ION the second day equal parts OF
cracked wheat and corn should be scat
tered in a litter. At the same time q
mash consisting Of Is parts Of corn

wheat and whole kaHr should take thu
place of the cracked grains. Whole
kahr is a splendid feed for young
chicks.
Where an abundant supply Of sour
milk is not available It will be found
necessary to add half a pound OF corn
and meat scrap to the dry mash after
the first week. This should gradually
be increased to reach four pounds at
the end Of the fourth week.
Fond Of onions.
when the hatch Is brought on
early and there is not an abundance Of
green shoots, It will be found benef-
cial to feed an onion once OF twice
daily. Slice the onion crosswise so as
to form rings. Onion is highly rel
ished by young chicks and is especial
ly desirable on cold, damp days. Later
in the season, when It is possible to
allow the young chicks to run out for
green food, the question Of exercise
does not need to be considered.
Zone Of the most important features
in raising young chicks is not to over
feed. and one OF the best methods OF
feeding Is to allow the young chicks
all they care 10 eat until noon, at
which time they should be allowed to
become hungry, even to the point Of
crying a little. At night they should
be given a liberal supply OF feed so
they will go under the hover with full
crops.
Comfort IL Keynote.

young chicks is comfort. II the chicks
are given sufficient to eat and plenty
Of exercise and are not allowed to be.

GRIT SUPPLY FOR CHICKENS
Lime in Some Form Must Be Furn-
Ishsd Laying Hen to Encourage

Grit should be supplied to chickens
at all times. as It aids digestion. Lime
in some form must be supplied to the

which Is so heavily drawn upon dur
ing egg production.
Grit can be purchased in CONNER
cial form, or oarse sand and small

old plaster or dry cracked homes are
fairly good.
