Chicks Need Exercise
To Develop Properly

Exercise is essential In the, proper
development OF the chick, points out n.
L. Harris, superintendent of the Kan
sas State Agricultural college poultry
farm.
When chicks are Matched late in the
season they win receive all the eXer-
else necessary for healthy growth by
scratching for bugs, worms and small
green shoots. When they are Matched
in cold weather it is impossible to nj
low them to run outdoors. For this
reason some means must be provided
whereby the chicks will have the nee
esstry exercise.
All grain should be scattered in a
shallow litter of chaf' or alfalfa leaves.
This will induce scratching. Another
method which has proved highly salts
factory is the use of "onion worms"
An onion H. sliced crosswise. If the
slices are Thin enough long pieces Of
onion somewhat resembling worms Will
result. The tussle over this improvised
angleworm viii furnish the much need
ed exercise and the onion will also
serve as an appetizer.

matter of fact, it being tried in Crom-
wells time. but the safety of carrying
them in ships: but he do tell us that
when he comes to tell the king his
secret, for none but the kings, success
siyely. and their heirs must know it,,
it will appear to be of no danger at all.
We concluded nothing, but shall dis

What Each Would Take.

Two officers on board a vessel the
crew of which were part English and
part Irish had a dispute respecting
their capacities. The officer who ia
vored the latter country asserted that
the lower class of the English did not
inherit that quickness of intellect
which the Irish possessed. A bet hay-
Ing taken place ON the subject. it was
to he decided by the answer which
each countryman gave to Il certain
question. First the English sailor was
asked what he would take to go aloft
blindfolded in hard gale.
Il would take a months pay" replied
he.
And you, Paddy" asked the ques-
toner. what would you take?"
"Begorra,' said Paddy, II would take
fast hold, TO be sure"

Of fooi-kilier was never more appar-

vice is not worth as much as a qaurt-
err section OF March wind, are run
ming around with commands aud ex-
hortation to do this or do that There
was never a time when hysteria was
less valuable than now. IL is not a
season for hare Drained schemes of
doubtful value. In a Massachusetts
city not too far away several good
people who mean we'll, but whose
reasoning apparatus is not in work
ing order are clamoring TO have the
golf course and public playground
plowed up and planted to potatoes
With hundred OF thousands Of dor
mant acres in. New England such
proposals are entirely uncalled for
The Rutland News treats such a pro
posal, made probably as joke, as
follows;
Ex-Governor Charles w. Gates
stated in Rutland that he had ad-
ysed member Of golf club who
had come to him for information as
to how he might aid the cause of
food production, to use his influence
to have the entire goif course of his
club plowed up and planted in gar
den plots which should be taken
CAKE OF by members of the club. thus
giving them jast as good exercise rs
they could get in playing golf This
remark doesn't reflect the usual
common-sense of Mr. Gates II there
was not land TO burn" outside of
highly cultured and improved lawns
and golf courses it would be one
thing. But how asinine to advise
blowing up lawns and golf courses
upon which have been expended
thousands of dollars an acre in some
cases when there IS more ordinary
land twice over than the people of
Vermont will or can possibly plant
and cultivate. We should like to
think that the ex-governor made his
remark loosely. 1t is too insipid to
be regarded seriously.
