Fireside. Sallying forth at night from
hidden recesses, the mites gorge them
selves upon the defenseless chicks. At
daylight they return to their hiding
Races, leaving no trace to betray their
visit
The hidden parts of coop may be
literally alive with mites, and what is
considered most thorough inspection
may fail to locate them.
The beginner notices that his chicks
come out of the brooder or coops in the
morning listless and weak. and even
though the weather may be warm they
huddle together as if cold and tip over
and die without apparent cause. He
makes all sorts of changes in feed, ven

For All the Nation

TN Memorial Day." edited by Rob

carried from the Illustrated Ameri-
can conveying in eloquent concrete the
idea of the universal Memorial day. 1t
says:
IF the north had merely pinned to-
gether with bayonets the two divided
sections Of the country their soldiers
had fought and bled and fallen in vain
Northern hatred for the south, south
ern hatred for the north, is disloyalty,
is treason, indeed, to the Union which
has been re- ablished.
I'VE who remember with pride the
achievements of our soldiers are proud
to acknowledge they had foemen worthy
Of their steel and that common coun-
try gave birth to both.

settled forever the questions over
which no other tribunal had jurisdic-
ton, and the nation went through the

FEEDING F0R FEATHERS.
Half Grown Chickens Require Gen.
erous Ration For This Purpose.

Half Grown Chickens Require Gen.
erous Ration For This Purpose.
We know that during the first year
of chicks life the feathers are lost
and renewed more than at any other
time, writes a correspondent of the
Albany Knickerbocker Press. 1t is es-
sential, then, that these chicks have
proper food for the growth Of feathers
and the bone material which makes up
the frame of the chick.
We have found that combination of
wheat bran. oilmeal and beef scrap
will help them very materially in
growing feathers and bone. The wheat
bran is usually fed in hoppers alone.
and they are permitted to eat what
they will of it. This is kept before
them from the very sta.t. The oilmeal
is mixed in with the dry mash later on
or when they are about two months
old. The beef scrap is fed sparingly at
first and increased as the chicks grow.
1t Is well to say right here that it will
pay any one to purchase the very best
grade Of beef scrap that they can Sc
cure-the best is none too good
One thing that is often neglected is
the providing of shade for the growing
chicks. This should be arranged for
regardless of what other work may de-
mand your attention. The hot summer
sun will soon spoil the plumage of your
growing birds and take the luster from
the feathers.
Change the water several times day
during the hot days of summer. The
birds will appreciate it and will come
along much better than though they
were neglected in this particular. 1t is
simply astonishing to note how much
water lot of young chicks will get
away with. They are inveterate drink
ers and need constant supply.
The half grown fock should be gone
through now and then and carefully
culled. You can use the culls for broil-
ers, which will bring you good price
at the market, and at the same time it
will give the rest of the birds better
chance to grow. especially if you are
cramped for room.
Furthermore the growing stock should
be well graded Do not let chicks Of
all ages and sizes grow up together.
The larger ones will crowd the smaller
| ones. and the result will be that they
will not do nearly as Well as though
they We're by themselves. /"

You cannot expect tc have healthy

The poultry house should be sprayed
with some disinfectant so that the lice

from lice, especially during the hot

hard enough. 1t is. however, a hard
