MIXTURES FOR BABY CHICKS
Method Practlced by Professor Kaupp
Of North carollna--DrS Mash
Is Kept in Hoppers.

The method of feeding baby chicks
practiced ny Prof. b. +. Kaupp Of
North Carolina has given such good
results that 1t is worth following.
Ration No. 1-Rolled oats parts,
bread crumbs parts, sifted beef scrap
2 parts, bonemeal ] part.
Ration No. Cracked wheat 3
parts, cracked corn (fne) 2 parts, PIN

Ration No. 3-Ground wheat 6 parts,
cornmeal parts, beef scrap 8 parts,
bonemeal part.
Ration No. 4-Whole wheat 3 parts,
cracked corn 2 parts, hulled oats /
part.
For the first five days the baby
chicks are fed ration No. ] five times a
day, and from to 10 days, rations No.
! and 2; after Is days, ration No. 8 is
given mixed with sour milk or water
three times a day in addition to ration
No. 2. After the chicks are thirty days
old, they are given moist mash once a
day. The dry mash is kept in hoppers
before them at all times. After 30
days, rations No. 8 and 4 are given in
hoppers. The flocks are placed on
range at the age of eight weeks. After
the fifth day the chicks are allowed to
run on freshly spaded earth.

NEW ENGLAND ONCE A PLAIN
Hills and Valleys Now Existing Are
the Result Of Erosiye Action Of
Flowing Water.

New England was once level plain.
Time was when there were no Berk-
shires; no White mountains. Anyone
doubling these statements is respect
fully requested to read the following
announcement Of the United States
geological survey:
Standing on hilltop almost any
where In New England on clear day,
and looking around at the horizon, one
notices that the high level surfaces Of
one hill after another approach the
plane Of the circular sky line. 1t re-
quires but little imagination to recog-
nize in the successive hilltops the re-
mains Of the even and continuous sur
face Of what was once great plain,
from which the valleys Of today have
been carved by the erosive action Of
flowing water. This is most easily
recognized from considerable eleya-
ton, especially in the broad upland
high level areas Of western Massachu-
sets at Whltcomb Hills, on the Mo-
hawk Trail. This Is termed a dis
sected plateau"

Sailors Need More Air.

The broad ocean is supposed to be
about the likeliest place on earth to
find fresh air, yet DR.. II. G. Holcomb,
a naval surgeon who has been investi-
eating conditions ON shipbOard, says
that because more men per cubic foot
of habitable air space are to be found
in the navy than in almost any other
occupation, there is insufficient air
space in the sleeping quarters, expo
sure to extremes Of temperature, and
irregular sleeping hours, which condi-
ton, with the possibility Of accidents
during storms, may lead to an undue
prevalence Of injuries, diseases Of the
respiratory organs and other maladies.

tically no moisture on its way to the
surface can escape them. For this
reason late cultivation for the sole
object Of conserving moisture Is now
considered impraetieable.
When corn IS planted in burrows, the
early cultivation may consist of little
more than narrowing the bottom of
the burrows on both sides of the row.
A harrow of the type shown in the ac-
companying Illustration may be used
when the burrows are made with a
lister. In this case the mules or
horses walk upon the beds, requiring
but little attention, and one man Is
able to cultivate as many as FIVE rows
at time.
The late cultivation of furrow-plant-
ed corn consists in filing the burrows
with soil from the beds. For this,
disk cultivators are among the best.
The leveling process may be done in
one or more civilizations, and 1t may
be delayed until it is apparent that
the corn is about to start tasseling If
the weeds do not become a menace. 4
loose, deep, rich mulch may thus be
thrown about the stalks without any
risk Of damaging the crop and the corn
be left well prepared to pass Its most
critical period after leveling the land,

LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS.

Speaking for the newspapers which
refuse to carry liquor advertisements
some $50 dailies in the United States
Mr.. Schermerhorn, editor of the De-
troit Times says:
"We believe that if a newspaper car-
ries ON its first page the story of a
tragedy caused by liquor and on an
other page a guaranteed cure for
drink, and on still another page asks
everybody to have a qrlnk-that the
whole process is as Inconsistent as
when the nurse marries the under
taker to catch the patient coming and
going. We believe that for a news
paper to take liquor advertising is to
do behind the bar what the bartender
Is doing In front Of the bar"

CRATES FOR SHIPPING COWS
IL Animal Comes Within 1.0O0-Pound
Limit Make Device Strong and
Light as Possible.

In answer to a query as to the best
way of Grating a COW for shipment by
express ]. Grant Morse, In Rural New
Yorker, makes the following reply:
If one is thinking of shipping a COW
by express the first thing necessary Is
to weigh the COW. The express COM
panles have made a ruling that no ex-
press package 0ncluding live stock)
will be accepted that weighs over 1000
pounds.
But, If your COW comes within the
limit, 1t is necessary to make your
crate as light as possible and insure
its holding her. Measure your cow
as to length from the middle Of her
neck back to her tail. (Allow little
so that she can move a little). Then
get the width Of her through the
widest part. Next get the height. Cut
three pieces Of 2-by-4, or other lum-
Der, for the sIlls the width Of
the COW. Then cut the floor boards

ROTATION AID TO FERTILITY
Kind Of Crops Grown Must Be Suitable
to Climate, Soil and Condition
Of Markets.

A proper rotation, or change Of
crops, has much to do with soil fertil-
ity. In the most prosperous and long
est organized communities definite
crop rotations are followed year after
year with little variation. The kind
of crops grown must of course be suit
able to the climate, the soil, and the
market conditions, but there are GER
tain essentials to be kept in mind.
There should be one or more cultl-
waited crops in every rotation so that
weeds may be kept In check or eradl-
Gated. Good crops for this purpose
are Irish potatoes, cowpeas or soy
beans, planted in rows, sorghum, and
corn.

DISK cULrivAroR LEAVES LAND LEVEL.

whatever other civilizations may be
necessary In order to destroy weeds,
should be done with surface cultiva-
tors which make it impossible to cul-
tivate deeply.
Fertilizer distributing attachments,
1t Is said, can now be made for most
kinds Of corn cultivators and In a large
portion Of the Southeast their use
should not only economic the time and
labor necessary for distributing ferti-
lizer but should also permit the
farmer to apply the fertilizer in small
quantities. In this way the danger of
overestimating growth can be practl-
cally eliminated.

ROUGHAGE FOR DAIRY FEEDS
Dalryman Cannot Hope for Success
Unless He Pays More Attention
to Home Grown Crops.
(clemson college RulIetin.l

(ClomSOn college, buieVlnJ
The past year has demonstrated
one thing to the satisfaction Of every
man in the state who is engaged in
dairy farming, and that is that he can
not hope for success unless he pro-
duces at home all Of the roughage
needed and most Of the grain feeds.
In every instance where farmers have
become discouraged with the business
the underlying cause has been the lack
Of sufficient homegrown feeds. To
meet this requirement the following
feed requirement for one COW has been
worked out by the extension division
for the information of farmers during
the coming year.
One ton legume hay.
-Four tons mangels or silage.
One ton sorghum.
One-half acre velvet beans and corn
One-half acre rye for winter pasture.
One acre permanent Bermuda pas
ture.
The above ration will furnish sufi
clent feed for one COW for one year,
with the exception Of 200 pounds Of
cottonseed meal or soy bean meal which
should be added to the grain mixture.
The one-half acre of velvet beans
should furnish at least two months Of
winter grazing, besides 200 pounds of
velvet beans In the pod and 700 pounds
Of corn and cob meal to be mixed with
the velvet bean meal and cottonseed
or soy bean meal for the grain mix
ture.

seriously damage the crop by covering
the corn and, when planted on, or
above the level, breaking its roots.
az When 1t Is desirable to supply
commercial fertilizer to the growing
crop, it is sometimes necessary to mix
the application with the soil.
(5) Shallow early cultivation, by
maintaining a loose soil mulch, will
conserve soil moisture. Deep early
cultivation, by permitting more air to
enter, will dry and warm the soil about
the corn. After corn is from two to
three feet high varying with the
width between rows, its roots so fill
the soil that it is believed that prac-

BOOZE HABIT DECLINING.

A New York advertising journal
gives some interesting testimony anent
the decreasing popularity Of drinking
among business men. The entire al
cohol bill of all the lunchers and din
ers at the Advertising club Of New
York for a recent month was $50.
There were something like 1000 reg
ular meals served in the club rooms
during those 26 working days, not
reckoning dinner parties. This makes
the average bill for booze not over
eight-tenths Of cent per person per
meal. In other words not over one
diner in forty took a drink with his
meal.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN PLANS
Tract Should Be Large Cough to Fur
nlsh Abundance Of Fresh Fruit
and Vegetables.

By FRANK B. CROSS, Department Of
Horticulture. Oklahoma A. and NJ. COL
iege, Stillwater.)
No farmstead Is complete without
that blessing to the home-the orchard
and garden.
This need not be an extensive tract
Of ground, but should be large enough
to supply an abundance Of fresh fruit
and vegetables throughout their sea-
son. Fruits may be grown for sum-
mer and winter use, and vegetables
for summer and fall.
IN choosing varieties, always plan
for a succession by choosing early,
medium and late kinds. In vegetable
growing this same end may be accom-
plished by successive planting Of the
same variety. Fruits and vegetables
are an ever-welcome addition to our
diet, and are easily within the means
Of all If grown at home.
A little time and attention given to
the garden and orchard win pay well
