strongly impressed With the aerial coast
patrol system which the Aero Club Of

ing that Congressman Montague Of
Virginia. at the instance of Acting Sec

bill providing for such n patrol as a
part of the treasury's coast guard and
life saving service
The project, which has been devel

aims to establish aerial coast patrol
stations along the Atlantic coast, the
Pacific coast and on the Great Lakes
at intervals of 1OO miles from each
other. The stations are to be establish
ed also in the interior. so as to inter
connect the east to the west and the
north to the south. In case of danger
a station ON one OF the scaboarls can
instantly advise the entire country of
the impending danger, and the aero

SHEEP NEED PLENTY OF SALT
Where They Are Denied This None Of
Than, Will Thrive

have come to the conclusion that
the old custom OF always keeping salt
where sheep can reach it is good one
and is founded on a thorough knowl-
edge of what the animals should have,
writes Il correspondent of the Farm
Progress. Why sheep should usually
have an intense craving for salt is
something I cannot explain. but it Is a
natural craving and is true the world
over
Salt is not a food, of course, but it is
needed to aid digestion. Where the
sheep are denied salt they will not
thrive | have never heard of any ex-
pernents that would show Just what
the effect Of doing without salt would
be on flock Of sheep, but do not
doubt that it would affect them very
unfavorably. Salt stimulates certain
functions of the digestive organs and
is needed in even larger quantities in
summer than in winter
In summer the sheep is eating large
quantities of green food. and the diges-
tion may become rather lax in dealing
with masses of green stuff. Salt acts
as corrective when this happens. and
at the same time it helps the system to
| more rapidly assimilate the food that
is being taken into the intestinal tract.
While sheep require more salt In
summer than in winter because Of the
great amount of Succulent and green
food that is being consumed. it will
never do to stint them on salt in Win
ter. use the rock or block salt meth
cd. but many men who specialize on
sheep prefer to supply the loose salt in
boxes under the shelter of the winter
sheds.
Sometimes the salt is given in the
food. and this is a good plan where
sheep arc being fattened. and it is de-
| sirable to have them eat large amounts
of fattening feed. Mixing the salt in
the ration takes some time, and you
can never tell whether the sheep are
getting just as much salt as they may
need.
1t is a custom in some neighborhoods
to salt the sheep only on Sunday morn
ings or some other time in the week
This is not good plan. Even though
they are given plenty at that time,

If the feeding and watering are in

Whether yarded or on range. ducks
must never be without fresh water,

ton will cause death in few days un-
less relieved.
Should the nostrils become gummed

ly to prevent injury.
Another duck tallacy that still re-
ceives credit among many is that ducks
must have sufficient water in which to
swim. Out of flock Of thirty-siX
raised last summer the entire Wa
ter supply was furnished in fiat three
gallon jars. Only one was lost out of
the flock and the one death was caused
by accident.
Another cause Of the unpopularity of
ducks is the mistake that is made in

RAISING OF CHICKS
Comfort and Proper Food Are
Two Most important Factors.
FEED FIRST WITH SOUR MILK.
This or 9utterm1k Mixed With Fine
Sand or Commercial Grit Should Be
Given Thirty eight to Forty Hours
After Birth-Hard Boiled Egg is
Next on the Bill Of Fare.

The two most important factors IN
chick raising are comfort and proper
food. according TO \. l.. Harris. super
intendent of poultry husbandry in the
Kansas Agricultural college. He says:
The little chick. whether naturally
or arti1icially fed. should not be given
anything to eat until it shows signs OF
being decidedly hungry. which will
usually be in about thirtysix to forty
eight hours. One of the first feeds
that the young chick should receive is
fine sand or commercial chick grit and
I, good drink of some sour milk or
butternilk if possible. More digestive
troubles IN incubator chicks are caus-
ed from lack of grit than any other
one thing.
"One of the essentials i'll maintaining
good digestion is a liberal supply OF
either sour milk or buttermilk. In
few hours after the sand and butter
milk have been fed very small guam
tity of hard boiled egg, including the
shell. chopped dnc and mixed with
breadcrumhs or rolled oats may be
given. A good proportion is one part
egg and Eve parts breadcrumbs or
rolled oats
''On the second day equal parts OF
cracked wheat and corn should be scat
tered in a litter. At the same time a
mash consisting of eighteen parts corn
meal. twenty-one parts wheat BRAN
four parts bonemeal and two parts of
granulated charcoal should be given.
The charcoal is not feed, but acts as
Il regulator. The mash should be fed
In shallow troughs that are kept scru-
pulously clean. If chicks have free
range this mash may be kept before
them at ali times. If, however. they
are confined to small pens, only what
they will clean up in about twenty
minutes should be given them.
"During the first week or ten days it
is best to feed five times a day. after
which time three times day is sutti-
