freely after they are a few days. old,
will be satisfactory. The hen should
be confined until the chicks are wean-
ed, though a small yard may be at
tached to the coop, if desired, to al
lew the hen exercise. The fence can
be raised from the ground far enough
to allow the chicks to go in and out,
but not high enough for the hen to
escape. BY using coop the chicks
can find shelter and warmth under
the hen at any time, and the weak
lings after a few days may develop
into strong, vigorous chicks.
Where chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely TO become infested
with lice. If the lice get very numer-
Gus, they greatly retard the chicks
growth and may even cause their
death. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good insect
powder before she is put in the coop
with the chicks and at intervals of
several days or week thereafter.
The baby chicks should be examined
for lice, particularly on the head, UNI
der the wings, and about the vent.
If any are found, little grease, such
as lard, should be rubbed on in those
places. Apply grease moderately, as
too much will injure the chicks. The
chicks should be examined frequently
and the treatment repeated If lice are
found on them.

Surely we are to be congratulated
not only that the constitutional
amendment was carried but that the
legislature by law has smoothed the
way to receive Michigan's part Of the
appropriation as made by the con-
gress.
A law was passed amending Sec
tions / and 2 of Act No. 145 of the
Public Acts of 1887. This is a law
to regulate the use of steam engines,
steam wagons, or other vehicles
which are in whole or part operated
by steam, on the public highways,
and to prohibit the blowing of steam
whistles upon public highways of this
state.
Section / of the act makes it I'M
lawful to move any traction engine
on the public highway during the
months of March, April, and May,
or at any other time, if by reason Of
thawing. frost or rains, the roads are
in a soft condition, rendering them
unfit for the passage over them of
such heavy machinery, without dam
age to the highway, except by written
permission from the commissioner
having jurisdiction of the highways.
Another important amendment was
passed, the bill having been introduc-
ed by Mr.. Chaplin. This act amends
Section l of Chapter 2 of Act No.
283 of the Public Acts of 1909.
Section l of this act reads as fol-
lows:
The highways in every organized
township in this state shall be laid
out, improved and maintained by two
money taxes; one tax shall be
known as the road repair tax, and
shall be assessed on all property in
the township outside of the limits of
Incorporated villages, which tax shall
not exceed fifty cents on each one
hundred dollars valuation according
to the assessment roll of the last
preceding year, except in townships
with an assessed valuation of less
than five hundred thousand dollars
where the tax shall not exceed one
dollar on each one hundred dollars
valuation, according to the assess
ment roll of the preceding year; and
the other tax shall be known as the
highway improvement tax and shall
be assessed on all taxable property in
the township, including that within
the limits of incorporated villages,
which tax shall not exceed one dol
lar on each one hundred dollars valu-
alton, according to the assessment
roll of the last preceding year.
This act is ordered to take immedi-
ate effect.

reason some potato growers believe
it is entirely due to the weather, but
as a matter of fact it is true fun
gus disease. That is, minute micros-
copic organisms grow and develop en-
tirely upon the potato plants and rob
them of their vigor. AS result the
plants soon wilt and take on about
the same appearance as when they
have been frosted. Fortunately, how
ever, the potato crop may be protect
ed from destruction by blight.
"The material used for this protec-
ton or insurance" is bordeaux,
though to be effective it must be APP
piled to the foliage before the blight
starts to develop.
at has been demonstrated many
times that by the proper use of bor-
deaux the yield of potatoes may be
increased from fifty to 100 bushels
per acre during the seasons when
blight occurs.
"For specific directions as to the
preparation and application of bor-
deaux, ask your county agricultural
agent, or write to the Michigan
Agricultural college"

er's milk early in life, and which is
so essential to their being marke.e
with profit at an early age.
"Cows that are to freshen the
coming fall should receive special
care. The milk flow this winter will
be Influenced as much by their condi-
ton at the time of freshening as by
any other factor. Where an abund-
ance of pasture or succulent forage
crops are not available, a limited
feed of grain will be returned many
times over.
'Pigs and shoats that have been
pasturning on June grass or clover
which has dried up should have their
grain allowance increased, and be
given a slightly larger allowance of
middlings, oil meal, tankage, skim
milk, to provide the necessary amount
of muscle-building protein.
Lambs as a rule will well repay
the owner for daily feed Of grain at
this season, and especial pains should
be taken to see that they do not be-
come infected with worms, or blown
by flies, which may result in mag
gots, and cause intense suffering and
eventually death. The latter trouble
can be avoided to large extent by
careful tagging.
Every possible effort should be
made to keep all animals gaining
through this season, as any slacken-
ing of growth on the part of young
stock or loss of flesh by the mature
stock means a material reduction in
ultimate profits"

That potato growers should insure
their crop against blight is the opin.
ion of potato specialists of the
Michigan Agricultural college.
In this modern time, most men be.
lieve in fire Insurance." says G.. w
Waid, M. A. G. potato man, "and
they pay their premiums without
complaint, even though no loss oc-
ours. But when fire does destroy in
sured property they reap the benefit
of ther foresightedness.
Many men don't appreciate the
fact, but the potato crop is as much
in danger as other property and is as
often partially or entirely consumed
as if it was swept by a confiagration.
The dread disease, late blight or
downy mildew, is as deadly in its
work as are the flames. But this
disease, while it is an old one, may
like fire, come at any time, almost
without warning.
"The disease is closely associated
with humid atmosphere and moder-
ately low temperature. For this

POULTRY
CONSUL TING DEPARTMENT

1t is not good poultry management
to allow the mother hen to range un-
restricted with her chicks.
With such freedom the hen frequent
ly takes her brood through wet
grass, and as a result some are chill
ed and die, especially the weaker
ones, which are likely to be left be-
hind. The loss Of young chicks which
follows such practice is large and
mainly preventable, specialists in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture say. Furthermore, the food
which brood allowed to range with
the hen obtains goes very largely to
keep up the heat of the body and the
chicks do not make as good growth
as they otherwise would.
Chick losses of this nature can be
largely prevented by shutting the hen
in a coop. Any style of coop which
is dry, ventilated, and can be closed
at night to protect the brood against
cats, rats, and other animals, and
which, while combining the hen, will
allow the chicks to pass in and out

stock specialists of the Michigan
Agricultural college declare. They
recommend that particular care be
given animals at this season of the
year.
eff you would be human to the
stock entrusted to your care, don't
neglect, they say:
/. To provide an abundance of
pure fresh water every day.
2. TO give all annals a shady
place to rest. If there is no natural
shade in the pasture, open up the
basement of the barn, if you have
one.
8. To provide a wallow for the
hogs.
4. To protect the cattle and horses
from flies.
5. To supplement failing pas
lures.
Fresh grass and succulent crops
are a balanced ration superior to any
man can provide. AS the grass or
forage crop natures and dries up,
the supply of protein decreases, and
unless a supplement is provided
growth of young animals becomes
much less rapid and there is a dan
ger of calves, pigs and lambs losing

| tunately there were people In both
countries, many Of whom were entire
ly honest in their beliefs, who &C.
lcepted every false rumor as true and
aided the German propaganda by de-
claring that their own government
should prepare for the conflict which
they asserted was inevitable, that the
interests of the two nations In the far
east were hostile and that every &C
tivity of the other country In the Pa
cific had sinister purpose.
Fortunately this distrust was not
so general in either the. United
States or Japan as to affect the
friendly relations of the two govern
ments but there is no doubt that
ments, but there is no doubt that
ing and the untrue reports were re-
ceiving more and more credence in
spite of the earnest efforts which
were made on both sides Of the Pa
cific to counterfeit movement which
would jeopardize the ancient friend
ship Of the two nations.
"The visit of Viscount Ishii and
his colleagues has accomplished a
great change of opinion in this
country. They have cleared the dip
lomatic atmosphere of the suspicion
which has been so carefully spread
by our enemies and by misguided or
over-zealous people in both countries.
In a few days the propaganda OF
years has been undone and both ma
tions are now able to see how near
they came to being led into the trap
which had been skillfully set for
them. The principal result Of the
egotiations was the mutual under.
standing which was reached as to the
principles governing the policies of
the two governments in relation TO
China The removal of doubts and
suspicious and the mutual declaration
of the new doctrine as to the far east
would be enough to make the visit
of the Japanese commission to the
United States historic and memoir
able but it covers the further pur-
pose which is of special interest to
the world at this time in expressing
Japan's earnest desire to cooperate
with this country in waging war
against the German government.
"At the present time it is mex
pedient to make public the details
of these conversations but it may be
said that this government has been
gratified by the assertions Of Wis
their government desires to do their
part in the suppression of Prussian
militarism and are eager to cooperate
in every practical way to that end.
It might be added, however, that
complete and satisfactory under
st/hdings upon the matter of naval
cooperation in the Pacific for the
purpose of attaining the common OBJ
ject against Germany and her allies

navy who Is attached to the special
