Dry Feeding Best.
Dry feeding, feeding variety of

One important thing Is to feed them
often. In our opinion a little chick
should be fed at least five times a day.
A little food at regular intervals Is
without doubt, the best. AS they be-
come older 1t will not be necessary to
feed them so often, and the nature of
the food can be changed, adding

chicks are large is to use inverted
peach or tomato cans over an ordi-

made near the bottom will allow suffi-
cient water to come out to supply
them all that Is necessary. Ground
grain is much better to use than

substituted after the chicks are half

THE POULTRY YARD.
MATURING OF CHICKS.
BY Ed Weber

March, April and May are the great
months for chickens-the months in
which the foundation Of our next sea-
sons layers and prize winners Is built.
This year, however, on account Of the
backwardness OF the season, May and
June will be the months in which an
unusually large number will be
Matched. To make up for part of
this lost time 1t will be necessary to
keep the little peeps" growing from
the time they receive their first feed
till they are fully matured II we are
to have good layers next fall and win
ter and birds sufficiently developed to
enter the shows and win for their
owners. Regardless Of how well one
cares for the chicks, it is almost i'm
possible to make favorable progress
with them unless they have been prop
erly bred from strong, rugged, parent
stock. Thru the breeding stock we
build either for strength or weakness
In the progeny. Start with founda-
ton Of strength and It can almost be
depended upon to come out in the
chick.
1t is chicks from this kind that
can be made to reach maturity at ar
early age. It can be said that the care
and attention given them are fully as
important, as the selection Of the food.
No set rule can be observed as one
successful man may reach the same
end by a different course Of procedure
from his neighbor. altho his way OF ac-
comprising It has been somewhat
upon the same lines. Some may advo-
cate the use largely Of certain grain,
while another may say that in his
opinion less Of this should be used
and more Of another kind. Each one
must learn from his own experience
the feed and grain he has the best re-
suits from and then carry out his work
from what he has learned. It should
be generally known altho it is not by
all, that the little chicks require alb

Ch;ld's Legitimacy
10 Fixed by Court

A peculiar and unusual decree
of court establishing. the legitimacy Of
child was issued Thursday by Judge
Willett in the case OF ]. C. Barnum VS..
Mrs. Luna Barnum. The former is a
member ofthe soldiers home The de-
cree makes record of legitimate birth

young man now in the United States
navy
The case Of which the decree Is the
last phase was peculiar in some Of ita
Developments Barnum brought suit
for divorce from his wife, who was liv-
ing in California. 1t was alleged In 10
petition that Mrs Barnum, at the time
of her marriage. was the wife OF one
II. J. Blake. When the case was brought
to hearing early this year it was re-
ported to the court that Mrs. Barnum
had died In California The hearing
was continued until the death was
verified, which was done in due course
of time,
Because of the fact, however, OF the
allegation in the petition that Mrs.
Barnum had a husband. Blake. living
at the time of her marriage, it was the
wish of Barnum and his son that the
court rule on the legitimacy Of the sons
birth. This was done in a decree that
sets out because Barnum and Mrs.
Blake entered into marriage believing
that Blake was dead, their marriage
was legitimate. Regarding the birth OF
the son. Earl, the decree reads:
ut is ordered and decreed that the
birth of Earl G. Barnum, son of these
parties begotten before this decree. be
legitimatized and he Is decreed to be
their legitimate child as if no impede
ment had ever existed to the marriage
of the above named parties" Suisse
quent to the marriage of Barntlm ana

Don't Neglect Animal Food.
Right here Is point that must not

animal food must be provided the little

milk or in prepared animal meal
Where the birds have free range such
an amount Of animal matter will not

CLUBHOUSE AND HOTEL

Feasibility of a project for club

The building proposed. 1t was stated

three-quarters dollars. 1t would have
1000 rooms. swimming pool, gym
nasium, showers, parlors. restaurant,
etc, and, being operated on a CO.
operative plan. could furnish accom-
modations, even in the present era of
week and pay a reasonable dividend on
the investment.
Such a clubhouse. Mr.. Stanton said.
could be built close to the heart of
the city and near the principal depart
ments in which large numbers of
women are employed on war work.
Provision of some such accommoda-
tions, Mr.. Stanton said. was vitally
necessary because of the large numbers
ington. who are finding increasing diff
fculty in obtaining decent. homelike
living quarters at reeasonabl rates.
No plans for putting the scheme into
execution Were presented at last

feasible plan for obtaining the neces-
sary funds.

SERVANTS REQUESTED
TO AID FOOD SAVING
Appeal Made to All in Washington

An appeal to the domestic servants in

food as a war measure was issued to-

of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Wood called
upon them to do their part in helping
win the war against Germany. declar-
ing that they could render efficient aid
by preventing waste of food. She said:
ITO the faithful domestics of Wash
ington:
Last year at this time we were try
ing to ascertain how many of you had
been in one household for five OF more
years. and 1000 were honored by certifi-
Gates which l am sure you prize very
highly.
Those certificates meant appreciation
for your services. Many were the let
terS from your mtStresseS telling of
your faithfulness through trying times
Of sickness, trouble and death. Now we
appeal to you in this, the most tryin &
ordeal of our country.
ITO a great extent the conservation
of food lies in your power. You. by
economy and care, can save food, which
means SO much in this conflict.
This is not an appeal for you to
save merely for your mistress, but for
humanity.
MANY of you owe your freedom to
the brave men who fought for you in
the civil war-now is Your opportunity
to show your appreciation of freedom
by doing that which lies in your power
to fight the common enemy Of democ-
racy.
Food must he provided for our SOL
diers. our allies and ourselves. VIII
you do your part?
IF each one saves a loaf of bread
each week. that means thousands of
loaves of bread saved in Washington
alone: apply this to everything over
which you have control, and we need
not fear the Germans.
When ultimate success comes to us
and our allies n debt of gratitude will
be due to you as well as to the SOL
diers who fought in the trenches"
