and one-half inches deep on floor Or
in a tray or tier of flats which have
openings or holes or a one-fourth inch
mesh wire bottom covered with bur-
lap, so that the water drains freely.
The oats may be stirred daily and
sprinkled or allowed to sprout without
stirring until ready for feeding. They
are usually fed when the sprouts are
from one to one and one-half inches
long, although some poultrymen prefer
to allow the sprouts to grow two or
three inches long before feeding. Oats
need a moist and warm atmosphere in
which to sprout quickly, so that it is
necessary to furnish heat or to keep
them in a warm room during the win
ter, while they may be sprouted out OF
doors during the rest of the year. II
takes from six to ten days to sprout
oats, depending on the temperature
The oats are fed-roots, sprouts and al
at the rate of about one square inch
as they grow in the tray to each fowl.

nennery. While such practice may
not be in harmony with the best cul-
tural advice, many city jewellers with
limited space will wish to utilize all
available garden room this season,
even for only small returns.
Dense, continuous shade under old
trees and shrubbery that have drawn
heavily on soil plant food obviously
will be Of little value for this purpose.
But in many back yards ground shad-
ed by buildings and small trees, not
wholly removed from the days SUM-
might well be expected to produce
some green stuff for a small flock. If
the chicken pen is large enough a small
sowing made inside and protected by
woven wire with one inch meshes
stretched about two inches above the
ground may be made. This allows the
chickens to pick off the green blades
as they grow through the netting with
out injuring the roots.
Another way to furnish green feed to
hens not on range is by sprouting oats
In trays or boxes. This method is used
by many poultrymen for large and
small flocks. The oats are soaked for
twelve hours in wa N water and then
spread out in layer one-half to one

MIRROR IN CLOUDS
Priceless Telescope Reaches
Home on Mount Wilson.
WEIGHS FIVE TONS IN ALL.

Armed Men Watch Over Largest Re.
Hector In World on Way Up-sincs
Reaching This Country Eight Years
Ago It Has Undergone Polishing
Process to Make II Perfect.
Los Angeles, Cal.-Accompanied by
an armed escort, the priceless concave
mirror for the hundred inch reflector
telescope was successfully transported
from Pasadena to the Mount Wilson
observatory. The mirror, which weighs
five tons, was taken up the tortuous
mountain road on specially construct
ed cradle on a truck geared to run two
miles an hour. ga
Because Of report that an effort
would be made to wreck the mirror on
the steep mountain road special pre-
cautions were taken to guard it. Dep
uty Sheriff p. III. Hayden and Deputy
Constable E. L. Rodgers, the one riding
ahead and the other behind the truck
and each of them armed, composed the
guard. The convoy included about $50
persons in thirty motorcars.
The truck with the mirror left the Oh.
servatory shops in Pasadena at Z a. m.
and arrived at the top of the mountain
at p. m. The arrival Of the mirror
and those who accompanied 1t was eel
ebrated by flag ceremony at the OBJ.
servatory. An immense United States
flag was draped over the door of the
dome which is to be the home of the
mirror. When the truck passed inside
the building the flag was unfurled
across the doorway and the crowd OF
200 persons applauded.
The glass disk, which is the object o:
intense interest in the scientific world
Is 101 inches in diameter and thirteen
inches thick and weighs 10000 pounds
1t was cast in France and brought tC
Pasadena eight years ago, since which
| time it has been subjected to a slow
and careful grinding and polishing
process. This was under the supervi
| sion of Professor G. w. Ritchey.
The framework Of the telescope has
| beenbuilt and is ready for the instana
| ton Of the large mirror and the smaller
mirrors which will be used with it
The great apparatus will be ready fol
use in about three months. 1t will bt
the largest telescope in the world, anG
astronomers declare it will be impossi
Bile to make a larger one successfully
since the drawbacks increase rapidly
as the size and light gathering capacity
Of the mirrors increase.
The telescope is of the rejecting type
with no light passing through the glass
as in the case of the old style refract
ing telescopes. The immense conceived
mirror. silvered on the lower side, will
repose at the bottom of tube, wher,
it will reflect the image of the heavens
to smaller mirrors set diagonally at tn,
upper end of the tube. The observe
will get the image from the small mir
rors and not the large one. Because o
the size and power of the glass it is be
lieved it will open up vast undiscov
cred areas in the heavens. The enter
prise of building the new telescope wa
inaugurated by Dr. George e. Hale, di
rector of the observatory.

Chicks In Summer.

Placed on a fresh range, chicks Will
find bugs and worms and require less

ideal place for summer chicks. Here
are some essentials for making summer
chicks grow well: Provide shade. Put

become peevish old nuisances to those
who have to look after us when our

Washington, July 21.-The draft for
the national army is completed The
great task of determining the order in
which the registrants should be called
up for examination was begun at 9 :48
O'Clock Friday morning when No. 258
was drawn, and was kept up continu-
vOusly until early Saturday morning,
when the last number came out Of the
bowl. In all 10000 numbers were
drawn, but it is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
1000 will be summoned before the
boards for service in the first army.
According to the officials in charge,
the first 1000 numbers drawn repre-
sented more than a million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and solemnity becoming SO i'm
portapt an event, and was witnessed
by distinguished company. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent Of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees;
Maj. Gen. Tasker FL. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch CrOwder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only a small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above
few thousand affect registrants. Of
the 1867 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1876, and
the average is about 5000. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out
1t was 126. placing 1857 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 157th in
order of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the Sec
Ond, or red-ink registry number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line, beginning with
the first number, which was drawn by
Secretary Baker.
