(By H. L. kempster Of Missouri Agri-
cultural colieoe.)
AS the chicks grow they need more
room. 1t does not pay to let them
crowd.
Tough grass is Of no value as green
food. Better SOW some quick-growing
crop.
Feed hoppers greatly reduce the
work. If they are kept filed. the
chicks will never 60 hungry.
II your chicks are not doing well
something is wrong. Look out for Ice
and for worms in the intestines.
Two-year-old hens had better be
sent to the market. They seldom pay
for their feed If kept over third sea-
son.
Shade is one of the most important
essentials during the hot months. Get
the chicks into the orchard and corn
field.
Young stock will do better If not
compelled to pick their living with the
old. There will also be less trouble
from lice.
Grit and oyster shell should be in
cluded In the ration for both young
and old. To neglect this would be
poor economy.
A growing chick will not thrive on
short rations. If the right kind of
food Is fed, there Is little danger Of
overlooking. especially II they are
given plenty or range.
Supplement the regular feeds with a
wet mash-fed crumbly. Feed all the
chicks will clean up before going to
roost, but none should be left In the
trough, for 1t will sour.
Mark the pullets this fall so that
you will know just how old your hens
are. A leg band on the right leg one
year and on the left leg the next will
assist in culling the flock. A hog ring
will serve the purpose.

Potash in Banana Stalks.

Banana stalks may help to solve the
fertilizer problem Of this country. Ex-
periments indicated that a ton of stalks
yielded 1873 pounds OF dry matter, con-
tanning 1877 per cent potash. or about
two-thirds as much as Is yielded by the
dried kelp of our Pacific coast. An ex-

total potash content Of los per cent,
the dry matter containing 9.03 per cent

CHAPTER xiii.

The taxicab chose the northwest cor
ner of Fifty-sixth street as the most In
convenient spot attainable to blow out
rear shoe. But Lydia had drawn
luckily in New York's gigantic lottery
of chauffeurs. This man knew his busi-
ness. Before the girl had recovered
from the shock of the tire explosion
and the subsequent shaking up he had
brought his machine to standstill,
Jumped down, and was communing
with himself In terms of confidential
profanity concerning the ruined tire.
Then, opening the door, he an
nounced that this was the last stop.
Sorry" he said, "but ! got no spare
tire, and II had I'd need half an hour
to make the change. Now I'll have to
wait for the repair car"
A prey to vague mistrust, Lydia got
out. Southwark the avenue lay black
and lonely save for the lurching lights
OF an ungainly bus cropping over the
wet asphalt; to the north the plaza was
like a we'll In the air, shot through and
through with glimmering light.
II don't know what to do" Lydia
yentured in her distress. I'm q
stranger in New York" With a pang
she realized how fatal such an admis-
sion might prove.
But her chauffeur was prosaic soul
who had never chartered his car to Q
gang, and rocked little of the terrors OF
New York for the overseas Immigrant

responded, with disguised jerk re

"Please tell me the way to the neares

"Cab rank" was a term not In TIT
chauffeur's vocabulary; but he crap
pied manfully with its occult sig
nificance. "You mean stand" he ex
planned, not unkindly. IF you don
mind walking a couple O. blocks, II
take YOU to the Margrave. That

In Municipal Court this morning,

John Allen, nearly three years ago,

These sums will be paid to Probation
officer Stout Allen is now living with
his wife.
The reason for the increase of the
non-support order developed at the
hearing of Allen yesterday, when he
was charged with being drunk, that
he earned S4 weekly as farmland,
when the original order We placed,
and now earns from $50 to SIS weekly
in a munition plant.
This case developed, in the order
Of the court, the rather unusual stu
alton of the Municipal Court, directing
that man should pay a specified sum
to his wife for his own board. the law
contemplating that man is the head
Of his own household, as a general
proposition. The court announced
the division of the items into support
of children and board Of Allen and di-
rected that the Ecord show an in
crease of the original order to $40 per
week. payable to Agent Stout. He
was not compelled TO furnish surety.
