The only successful method of
caring for May and June chick
ems is to conf1ne the old hen in
the coop, from the time the
time the chickens are Matched un
til they are weaned. The chicks
lshould be closed securely in the
coop with the hen at night, and
not liberated until after receiving
the morning feed. The coop
should be placed on a wooden
platform. elevated three or four
inches off the ground, which
makes the coop cooler and pre-
vents the chicks from getting
drowned in heavy rains.
The chicks should have butter
milk daily, as well as constant
supply of fresh water. This may
be supplied by using a gallon can
cutting small holes thru it about
an inch from the top. Fill the
can with water, turn a pan over
the same and upset the can into
the pan. The water will stand
In the pan as deep as the holes
were made from the top of the
pan,
Chicks feed should he, first,
crushed egg shell. Then. five
times daily, until the chicks are
three weeks old. they should be
fed hard boiled eggs and corn
bread. After three weeks, feed
cracked corn and screenings
night and morning, and keep be-
fore them at all times, a dry
mash consisting of;
25 pounds Corn meal
25 pounds Wheat Shurts
Is pounds Ground Oats, with
hulls sifted out.
Is pounds Beef Scraps sifted

They should always have small
grit. oyster shells, charcoal, and

FARM NEWS.
Prepared Especially TOT Jaek-
son County farmers.
Save Ycur Csra

The work stock (horses and
mules) must have concentrated
feeds in sufficient quantities, il
farmers are to get full service
from them. In the effort to get
in large acreage this year, we
apt to overlook the opportunity
to save on the grains Fed to our
work stock. We can not only
save corn by replacing a portion
of it with cottonseed meal at less
cost, but our stock will do better
and be better for the substitu-
ton.
Two pounds of cottohseed meal
will displace about four pounds
of corn is a work stock ration.
Two pounds of cottonseed meal
per head per day is as much as
should he fed. This two pounds
of meal will cost about four cents
and the the four pounds of corn.
which it will replace, will be
worth about twelve cents, there
fore, clear saving Of practically
eight cents a day for each horse
or mule.
A still stronger argument for
such substitutions is that it will
release grain suitable for human
food. when the substituted ma
terial can not be so-used. n
This is one war measure"
that entails no hardships and
merits the attention of all in this
crisis confronting us.
1t seems certain that the hu-
man family will be forced to get
along on many substitute" in
the matter of food. before this
war is over, 80 why not now
practice an economy that will
help conserve human food.

fourth cross results in fifteen
Sixteenths pure. For market
purposes, the high-grade beef
animal is practically the equal of
purebred, but they are unreli-

The surest, cheapest rnd quick

In the crisis before US the

The United States Department
of Agriculture. together with the
United States Department Of
Labor, is undertaking to make q
working organization to help the
farmers of the country secure
needed labor. Farmers who need
help can get application blanks
thru the postmaster in most
towns. Where such blanks can
not be obtained from the post
master, a letter addressed to the
United States immigration Ser
vice, St. Louis, Missouri, will
bring the blanks.
The effort will be TO get the
most satisfactory labor possible.
In many cities, recruits have ap-
piled for enlistment in the army
or navy, but who have been re-
jected, :have had farm expert
ence. These men. who are will
ing to serve their country in the
army or navy, are being asked to
render an equally needed and
valuable service on the farm.
Without doubt. some Of the Ia
Dor furnished thru the Govern
ment and other agencies will not
prove satisfactory. In some cas-
es the men will have had no ex-
perience in farm work. In other
they will not have as good char
acter as the farmer likes to have
in the labor he employs. but the
farmer who is urgently in need
of help can well afford to take
chances, especially in such
times as these, and many Of
them will draw real prizes.
