matter. and ono that the public has a
right to criticise.
The question of food is handled In
much the same way. II you have been
to any one Of the three-course dinners
given by the rich women of the coun-
try, you may have had to go home and
take soda mint to forestall indigestion.
Il
There are three courses, against that
there is no discussion. The quantity
of food that can be put into three
courses forms the interesting part of
this subject, but, mind you, the food
is not expensive and 1t is not elaborate
ly prepared. The effect on the one who
dimes is that the inner man is satisfied
with nourishing food perfectly cooked.
Onions and potatoes may cost good
deal: rice may have gone up in price:
chops may be much higher than mush-
can gainsay the effect of severe sim
plicity in the serving of this type of
food?
Just what the women who serve
three courses have done to their cook
cry is what the women of wealth have
done to their clothes.

When several dozen seamstresses had

In growing broilers for market the
most important point is to have the
chicks in good flesh, especially plump
Of breast. II the birds are not in good
flesh at broiler size. 1t is far better to
let them develop into roasters. for thin
broilers are not wanted at any price.
The general purpose breeds are best
for broiler production, though for the
smaller sizes of broilers the egg breeds
are considered quite worth while.
For the first feed a mixture of equal
parts rolled oats and stale bread
crumbs mixed with finely ground.
hard-boiled eggs Is good. This should
be mixed in the proportion of one egg
to six times the bulk Of the rolled oats
and breadcrumb mixture. It is well to
add little fine grit when feeding.
The mixture should be fed five times
that chick feed may be allowed twice
a day and the egg mixture three times
day. Feed only what the chicks eat
up clean.
chicks in small troughs all the time
will be found a great help to growth.
Hoppers Of chick-size grit, oyster
shells and charcoal should be placed
before the chicks after they are two
weeks old. but 1t Is not advisable to
allow an unlimited supply before that
time, as very young chicks are as like
ly to fill up on grit as on feed.
After the chicks are three weeks old
the egg mixture should be gradually
displaced by the following mash:
Twenty pounds wheat bran. forty
pounds cornmeal. ten pounds rolled
oats. ten pounds alfalfa meal, twenty
pounds middlings. ten pounds linseed
meal and twenty pounds beef scraps.
This should be moistened with water
or milk to make a crumbly mash. and
should be fed twice a day in such guam
titles as the birds will eat up quickly.
The grain should be fed three times a
day.
At four weeks of age larger size of
grain than chick feed will be needed.
A growing feed grain mixture is good
at this time 1t is well at this age to
replace the troughs Of dry wheat bran
with hoppers Of dry mash OF the same
mixture as is fed wet This plan Of
feeding both dry and wet mash helps
greatly in making the desired plump
carcass.

green food Is absolutely necessary. Let
