EXERCISE FOR YOUNG CHICKS
Cool Room Is Better Than Warm One
fer This Purpose-AVoid Leg
Weakness by Giving Bone.

Early Matched chicks should be
given plenty of room in which to ex-
ercise. A cool or slightly cold room
is better than a warm one for this
purpose. 1t hardens the chick and
there is little danger from chilling if
properly handled. As soon us the
youngsters get cold they will run back
under the hovers and warm up, then
run out again to work in the fresh
air. Brooding in cold room produces
stronger chicks, with better appetites.
Indoor chicks should be allowed ac-
cess at all times to dried bone, small
size. They need this to maintain
strength in the legs; otherwise, when
closely housed, leg weakness results.
Fresh, grccn-cut bone fed in limited
quantities once per day will ward off
this trouble.

SUNFL0WEH SEED USE
Given Count as Poultry Feed by
Professor Lippincott.
Its Good for Noting Period, but Not
Practicable at Other Times on Az

and Too Expensive.

Sunfower seed because of it's cost
and high fiber content is not so desir'
able a poultry feed as is generally sup
posed, according to W. A. Lippincott.

Kansas State Agricultural college.
in the first place it is too expen

then, too, it contains a large amount
of crude fiber. 1t is good feed, how
ever, for the molting period. The oil
seems to aid in giving gloss to the
feathers. Protein is essential to feath'
or growth-and the suntloWer is rich
in protein.
Birds for Show Purposes.
"Sunfower seed is used by poultry
men when they are preparing birds for
show purposes us the feed apparently
gives the bird a better appearance.
Showmen use the seed extensively as
feed but it is not practical for the
farmer unless the seed can be bought
much cheaper than the ordinary mar
ket price
Oats are better feed for chickens
than sunfower seed, in the opinion OF
Mr.. Lippincott. Suntlower seeds have
approximately 81 per cent fat content
and 80 per cent fiber content, while
oats have A. per cent fat content and
only 1913 per cent fiber content. 1t is
not wise to use oats as a feed for
chickens too extensively because the
digestive apparatus of the fowls is not
designed to handle such large amount
of crude fiber.
Best Fiber Content.
The best fiber content in ration fol
fowls is approximately 3d. per cent

some feeds, low in fiber, are used in

GIRLS EYESIGHT SAVED.
Perkins Law Comes to Aid of UnfOr-
tunate Des MOines Miss.

Des Moines, Feb. "a circum-
stance came to light recently which
illustrates most graphically the won
derful service that is being perform
Perkins law for the relief of diseased
and crippled children whose parents
are not able to provide proper treat
ment and care. -.
A little girl who attends one OF
the schools of Des Moines and who
belongs to good family in humble
circumstances, contracted at the
school house where she attends, one
of the worst Affections that can be-
fall any one, namely gonorrheal in
lection of the eye. No one connect
ed with the child's family was in any
way to blame. The family doctor
was sent for. He recognized what
was the matter, and he knew that
unless the child could have scientific
treatment and persistent care for
quite while, she would go blind.
The parents were not able to provide
it. He knew the provisions of the
Perkins act, and hurried over to the
headquarters of the state board Of
education. He was in doubt as TO
whether they would handle a case
like this at Iowa City, but he was
told that they had an isolation hospi-
tai and no doubt would handle it. A
telephone message from the superin-
tendent of the hospital confirmed
this opinion, and the unfortunate lit
tie girl is now in the hands of skilled
doctors and her sight will be saved.
Put upon the lowest plane possible,
the state has saved in this one case,
at least $4,000; for that is what Il
costs the state TO educate a blind
child at the school at Vinton. Ever
lasting darkness would have been
her fate but for the beneficent proyi-
sions of the Perkins act.

WHAT RATS COST.
Estimated That it Costs So to Sup
port and Feed a Rat for
One Year.

Some enterprising advertising
man has estimated that it costs 50 to
support and feed a rat for one
year. Like some other things in
connection with modern life, it is
the upkeep Of the rat rather than the
original cost that helps to deplete
bank accounts. Anyone who has had
experience in entertaining rats will
cheerfully agree that the above esti-
mate is conservative one. At pres
ent valuations Of grain, no ablebodied
acceptable in rat circles on 50 year.
There is something radically out of
killer with a rat that can't eat more
than 50 worth of grain and young
chickens in twelve months; and half
a rat can easily render ten times
that amount unstable and unfit for
consumption by anything but rats.
One of the amazing things about
American life is the fortitude and
equanimity shown by the people in
their endurance of pests, such as
rats, gophers, crows, etc. Allowing
50 for the support of each able
bodied rat in Iowa--a very conser-
vative estimate-think what an
enormous sum that means for the
state. In his annual pilgrimage the
assessor makes no count of the rat
population, so there is no means of
arriving at any definite conclusion in
regard to the expense Of rat culture.
Iowa has about 100000 farms. AL
lowing an average of only ten rats
to farm the state is expanding the
tidy sum of $4,000, 900 year to feed
the rodents, and it must be remem-
bered that city people have rats as
well as farmers
The lamentable feature in connec-
tion with this enormous leak IS
that it is about So per cent proven
table. If all Iowa were to rise up in
arms and go after the rats in earn
est for one week Of each year, it
would soon put Mr.. Rat and his
family in the dodo class. 1t must be
that, as people, we like rats, else
we would not harbor them and stand
for all their depredations and devil
try when it is so easy possible to get
rid of them.

the committee. This is more than
10000 dogs in the state. They are
of very little economic value, and
many farmers who keep dogs could
just as we'll be keeping sheep or
two.
Let it be remembered that these
dogs could he replaced by the same
number of sheep on every farm IN
Iowa if the farmers cared to do so.
Many farmers who would raise a
few sheep do not do so because or
the fact that stray dogs would des-
troy them. @GI
Many farmers are now putting
in dog proof fences to protect their
sheep.
