Chick Feed.

The dry mash may be kept before the birds from the end of the first week on. Mash may be easily fed in shallow boxes with wire grate laying on the feed to prevent scratching If sour milk is fed liberaliy the beef scrap should be reduced one half. This is more important with the early chicks which are necessarily more closely confined.
 It is important that the chicks be well hover broken when they are first put in the brooder- A piece Of paste board or roofing paper placed around the hover little way from the edge may be of help in this respect. Watch the chicks and do not let them crowd in the corners while they are small. Provide abundant heat under the room temperature down Every good brooder must provide two tempera- lures or zones one where the chick can be comfortable and rest and an- exercise to keep warm. Overheated houses soon say the vitality of the chicks.
 Chicks should be gotten out on the though there is snow on the ground. this may be before they are a week old. Do not be afraid of cold wet feet; if good litter and a warm hover are provided the chicks can dry their feet, warm their backs and be much stronger for their outdoor exercise.
 Leg weakness in little chicks is us- ually caused by overlooking overheat- Ing and keeping them too closely con fined. Careful feeding and outdoor life increase the appetite, encourage feather growth and enable the chicks to take care of themselves to a much greater extent
 Essentials For Success With Chicks. 1. Start with strong, vigorous well matched chicks from healthy breeding stock
 ?. Operate the orooder so as to provide sufficient heat with an abund- ance Of cool, fresh air.
 2. Feed cour milk nberaIly from the very first day and provide green food. 4. Keep chicks hungry for chick feed; provide mash after first week. ,. Get chicks out on the ground as soon as possible. Fresh air and ex- ercise mean health and vigor. R. E. Jones, Extension Poultry

KILL THE DAT SMUT.

Highest yields of oats cannot be obtained when from 3 to 10 per cent the grain is attacked with the oat smut. The cost of eliminating this disease is small. To treat the seed, get one pint of forrnalin and add to 40 gallons of water allowing one gall lon of this solution to treat one busf1el of seed. Sprinkle the seed thoroughly, pile then1 up, cover them with blan- ket and allow them to remain over night. Then. they should be allowed to dry. 1t will cost about two-tTirds of 3 cent a bushel and it will save several bushels of grain. This should be done now

were spent together talking of the
