shallow tray, which should be re-
moved as soon as their appetite has
been satisfied. Chicks soon learn an
attendants ways and will quickly
come at a given sound. They should
be fed regularly. and not less than
three times a day. No food should be
left around TO sour or be soiled
Better TO feed too little each time
than too much. A little dried bread
crumb s. mixed with bran, rolled oats
and cut clover makes a splendid ra-
ton. wet or dry, for baby chicks.
Sour milk is a fine addition to this
ration.
When chicks are a few days old.
they may be given a good chick feed
mixed with oatmeal and wheat. This
provides one of the most nourishing
rations for chicks.
Value OF Clean Water.
Clean water is as important as
clean food. Baby chicks learn 10
drink as rapidly as they learn to
eat. But the water essels should be
shallow and so arranged that the
chicks cannot walk in them. 1t is
better not to use open vessels of any
kind. Drinking fountains for chicks
are easily procured. they are cheap,
serviceable and sanitary.
1t is a well-known fact that baby
chicks are subject to bowel troubles
if not properly supplied with clean
water Nothing. in fact. affects
chicks quicker than impure drinking
water. II the poultry raiser is care
full the first two weeks, the most
critical period has been passed and
the danger from bowel trouble daily
grows less.
As the chicks grow older green
feed such as sprouted oats, should
be added to the ration. The flock
can also digest a larger quantity of
animal protein, which may be sup
piled in meat meal or sour milk.
With these additions TO the ration,
the grain diet can be given in the
litter, so that the chicks will scratch
for what they get IL a dry mash is
desired. let il consist of coarse bran,
relied oats and cut clover.
If chicks are properly handled for
the first two or three weeks. there
Will be little danger of sickness at
tacking the brood; it is then in a
fair way to grow rapidly, remain
healthy and develop into a vigorous
flock OF highly profitable fowls.

EARLY IN
SEMI ARID LAND
Good Stands and Yields of
Corn Nav Be Obtained in
Proper Soil.

Corn Will not grow during cold
weather as wheat and oats. Corn
planting time is. therefore. a little
later than the best time for sowing
spring wheat or spring oats How
ever. according 10 farmers bulletin
773. when seed of perfect vitality is
used il is remarkable how early in
the spring corn can be planted and
result in good stands and good
Yields. Seed of perfect vitality will
often remain in cold or dry soils for
inmate and yield well. Irregular
stands are sometimes attributed to
poor seed. when dry, poorly prepar-
ed spots are the cause Fields are
sometimes seen in which the seed
terminated promptly in moist spots
until rains came.
Where the seasons are long and
moisture plentiful it is customary
10 wait until the soil is warm before
planting. In semiarid regions, how
ever. corn should be planted early.
With the soil in proper condition it
is generally advisable in semiarid
regions, south as we'll as north, to
plant corn before danger from frost
is entirely past. Corn planted very
early usually makes a slow, tough
growth and a month after planting
may be smaller and look less prom
Using than that planted later The
early planted corn ripens first. how
ever. and usually produces the
larger or the better crop. Because
of its slow. tough growth corn
planted very early is not so suscep-
tible to frost and drought as corn
planted later and growing more
rapidly. In a series Of years the
gain in mature corn secured from
early planting will more than make
up for any injury from spring frOsts.
Excellent corn crops have been pro-
duced from paintings frozen off or
frozen back when the plants were
from a few inches TO a foot or more
tall. Corn is not often entirely
killed by spring frOsts. and if some
should be injured the loss is much
less serious than that from summer
drought or from fall frost.
Early planted corn derives more
benefit from the spring moisture
supply, becomes we'll rooted before
summer droughts begin, and may
even mature before these droughts
become severe.
Where the growing season is very
long and warm, paintings made at
about 30-day intervals increase the
chances of hitting the season right
and raising some good corn.

CIVIC LEAGUE
FORGETS SHERIFF
Women Hold Primary Election
and Find Some Mutt

Elated over the victory of woman
suffrage in the state Legislature and

terinS all the intricate details of
voting, the Civic league held its
primaries Friday according to the
strictest legal procedure. There were
two rival parties, judges, clerks and
inspectors. But there was no sheriff.
1t was not thought the women had
had time to learn corrupt practices,
they having had the franchise only
one day. And then, oh well you
know what the woman suffrage cam
paigners and lobbyists have to say
about the honesty and intregity of
the woman voter. The party rivalry
was running close when, 10 and
behold, the clerks and judges found
mutilated ballots and evidence that
the ballot boxes had been stuffed.
The matter was finally settled annie
ably but hereafter, il is said, they
will have sheriffs at the league cleo
ton.

COAL COMMITTEE
TO REPORT TODAY
Differences of Opinion of May
Or'S Body to be Thrash
ed Out.

Mayor Keller's coal yard commit
tee is scheduled To meet at the city
hall today and in case all five mem
bers are present a report IS expected
to be made. There is a difference Of
opinion among the members as to
the real situation regarding prices
and also the feasibility of establish
ing a yard in this city.
At the meeting held earlier this
week the committee stood two to
two as the fifth member Of the body
was not present. Two Of the members
believed that coal could be sold in
this city at $3.50 per ton while
the other two had their doubts
Since the fifth member was absent
the vote was a tie, and the first re-
port, instead of being the opinion Of
the majority, was only the opinion
Of two members
1t is contended by the members
who hold coal at $3.50 would bring
a profit 10 the dealer, that coal of d
good grade is selling at $1.10 ton
at mines in southern Indiana. This
can be shipped here for a dollar a
ton or less. leaving the local dealer
S1.40 a ton profit.
p. +. Tomlinson, a member Of the
committee, stated Friday that the
city water works was paying 90
cents a ton for slack used at the
Leeper park station. He further
stated that Supt. Towne of the water
works department admitted at the
,, t. "a n
South Bend at less than "a dollar
a ton. These figures he contends
show that coal at $3.50 is possible.
