insisted upon always. The floor of both apartments should be covered half an inch thick with clean sand, and over this should be scattered an inch of fine litter, preferably alfalfa or clover. In this should also be placed 9 good supply of fine oyster shells.
 Light the lamp day or two before the chicks are to be placed in the brood er so that you may be sure of a steady temperature of about 9S degrees under the hover. The second week this tenn perature may be reduced five degrees. Work it down to S5 by the third week. A thermometer should be kept constantly in view. There must be no guessing.
 The lamp should be filled and cleaned once a day, and it should be trimmed twice a day. There should be no excep- ton to this rule. Remember, it is burn ing 24 hours a day. The lamp must be kept absolutely safe and efficient. Other wise, the chicks are liable to be baked or smoked to death.
 LONG BROODER HOUSE
 The principle here is the same as that of the small colony brooder, ex- cept that it is a large scale plant The building may be any length desired, according to the extent Of the business The modern aim is to equip the lonG brooder house for use as a maturing or laying house when it i1 not required for breeding purposes.
 The heat is usually furnished by q system of steam pipes running above the hover shelters. A more recent method sends the heat through steam pipes beneath the floor The circular hover is used in this system and the heat Is led up to each sVccessive hover from beneath the floor by a galvanized cylinder. The kerosene lamp is used in some cases The most rigorous methods should be adopted in the care or the lamps. Forty or fifty lamps burning day and night. with such in inflammable stuff lying about, put q large responsibility on the caretakec

 capacity of the big brooder stove is 15QJ chicks; but only an expert poultryman

oats. with about per cent meat scrap. All the green food they will eat may be furnished them every day with profit.
 A little clean dirt placed before them in a box will be good. Do not let the dirt get on the floor of the brooder. Keep that clean and Justices so far as pos sibe.
 Chils must be specially avoided. Let them out on the ground as soon as it can be done with perfect safety.
 Not more than 75 chicks should be brooded under one hover with the small colony brooder More will mean crowd ing, and consequent danger for the whole flock.
 Avoid extremes of temperature. Keep the birds comfortable. The tone of the chicks voice will always proclaim its general condition. Study this.
 When five or six weeks old the tougher ing process should be so far advanced as to dispense with artificial heat except in very cold weather. When two months old the youngsters should be ready to go out on range and fight their battles with success. Let the hardening be gradual and well timed from the beginning.

COLONY BROODER STOVE

The colony brooder stove system Is comparatively modern method It is coming into very general use, how ever. The brooder stove is placed in the center of room from 2 to IA feet square Either coal or oil may be used, according to ones preference The
 neat IS largely self-adjusting. It is reflected downward and outward by a large metal hover elevated above the stove and easily adjustable. The chicks are thus altogether in the open and draw near to the source of heat. or recede from it. as their comfort may dictate.
 The ideal house in use under this sys-
 tenn may be II by 2s feet. The entire space may be divided into two rooms IA rect square The chicks occupy the room In which the stove is located until they are large enough to be permitted the run of the whole house, when the door between the rooms may be opened, thus

know of one instance at least where some 1900 blooded birds were burned up one night as result of an exploded lamp.
 Whatever the heating system may be, it should be studied most carefully and thoroughly mastered. The care of fire of any kind is matter of great importance It is curious fact that many intelligent people are not ex- pert "firemen." Children learn the fire art slowly. As steady and success fully sustained temperature Is of vita, consequence in breeding, very special attention should be given to this part of the business.
 Drafts should be carefully guarded against in the long building Doors should close automatically. The chicks should be kept well separated as to the different flocks, and especially as to flocks of different ages Never should the birds be compelled to live naked floor. Nothing is more dis coura ging and more unnatural to them

FOOD AND GENERAL CARE

The litter, sand, and shells should be
 the same as described under the small colony brooder, whatever the system
 used. These are as vital to the general
 welfare of the little flock as heat and food. .I. f-l4
 - C first feed should not come before
 at least 36 hours after hatching The
 yolk of the egg furnishes sufficient food
 for such length of time, or even longer. Of course clean water should be kept before them constantly. No sloppiness should be permitted. The best patent
 drinking fountains ought to be always in use.
 Oatmeal in any form is a good feed to begin with. Feed five times a day al first. The second day begin to work the feed into the litter. Make them scratch for everything so far as possible. Keep
 them hungry enough to keep them active. They must exercise from the first Their
 happiness and their health depend on
 their digging day after day for their
 food The poultryman forgets thls at his peril
 The mixed chick feed grain on sale at any supply store should be fed in the litter after the first two days. If an ex- tensive business is being conducted the
 poultryman should buy his grains and mix them himself A good mixture is as follows: 100 pounds fine cracked wheat, 80 pounds cracked corn, and 20 pounds pinhead oatmeal.

MILLIONS TO FREE HER
But Mrs. Kreiser Is Held in Jail
Fancy Food Sent to Her.

Kansas City, March 8.-The coro-
ner's inquest, set for today, into the
shooting OF Edward Keiser, noted
composer and organist, by Mrs. Mary
Keiser, his wife, last Saturday has
been abandoned, according to an an
nouncement at the coroner's office to-
day. The reason given was that Mrs.
Kreiser's preliminary trial on charge
of first degree murder is to be held
Saturday and that it would serve the
same purpose as the inquest.
Attorneys for Mrs. Kreiser today
gave out that several wealthy busi-
ness men had offered 20 qualify on the
latters bond, if one is permitted, al
most to any amount within their COM
bined fortunes of several millions.
Mrs. Kreiser, pending the hearing,
still was confined to her cell at the
county Jail today.
1t became known today that Mrs.
Kreiser and the other women prison
ers at the Jail were being fed the
choicest of food prepared at one of
1.-THE city's largest hotels. The pro-
prietor of the hotel. an old friend of
the Kreiser family, offered several
days ago to send Mrs. Kreiser while
she was in Jail the best meals the
hotel could produce. She refused say
ing she did not wish to have anything
in which her cell mates might not
share. The result was that a big bas-
ket filled with sufficient food for all
the women prisoners goes thrice daily
from the hotel kitchens to the Jail
