THE PARADE AT
CAMP CODY. \. N.
Big Demonstration Over Passing Of
Second 1owa-The Assign
ment of Officers.

Monday night, headed by the
band, the old Second Iowa gave a
Igonstef farewell parade through
,hey streets of I,enning New Mexico.
The = boys were enthusia iastically
'cheered all along the line Of march.
Officers of the regiment presented
Col. Hyatt with very fine Howard
gold watch in token of their appre-
citation OF the colonel as command
ing officer of the old regiment. The
position given the colonel in his
new assignment is one Of great i'm
portance He now commands the di-
vision headquarters train and Mill
tary police of the 34th division, a
division numbering $4,000 men.
Captain Verne L. Hale of head
quarters company has been made
adjutant to Colonel Hyatt and will
accompany the colonel wherever he
may be assigned.
Captain Harold J. Smith, former
ly of the regimental supply compa-
ny, now commands a trench mortar
battery.
Major F. j. Lund commands his
former infantry battalion in border
S, vice, which has been changed to
a machine gun battery.
Captain Martin is assigned to an
ammunition train. Just what posi-
tion he lids is not known here.
Other officers will undoubtedly re-
ceive just recognition.

sales in this county and probably
for the entire state Saturday, when
they sold SGT head of young Dakota
stock to the farmers of this vicinity
for feeders. The sale netted more
than $45,6O0 and took place at the
Webster City stock yards.
The cattle Offered was unusually
good stock and found ready sale
among the farmers in attendance.
The high prices prevailing on the
market and the farmers bumper
crops this year combine to make q
big demand for stock to fatten for

considerable soft corn this year, and
the farmer who has stock to feed
will realize good value from it.

the car became uncoupled, theraby
making it impossible to control
auto. 1t ran into the railing of the
bridge at the foot of the hill, bend

Webster City Loses.

The first football game of the sea-
son for the Webster City high school
team resulted disastrously for the
home boys Saturday afternoon when
they battled the Iowa Falls high
school nine at the ball park. The
score was 81 to 0 in favor of the vis-
itors. A big crowd was out to wit
ness the game, but in spite of the
enthusiasm of the rooters, the work
of the home team was slow and un-
certain. Defeat is oftentimes good
medicine, and here is hoping that is
what it will prove on this occasion.
A game is scheduled with the Fort
Dodge team in this city next Satur-
day.

Winter Eggs Are Laid by
the Earliest Hatched Chickens

The secret OF winter egg produc-
ton is solved by early Matching, in
the opinion OF specialists OF the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The pullet that is Matched early
is ready to lay when the egg supply
is lowest and prices are highest.
Chickens Matched before April 80, if
they are properly cared for, will prove
to be revenue producers at the time
when high prices prevail. To some
extent the poultrymen Of the country
have overlooked this simple fact. For
one thing, birds Matched later in the
spring or summer do not become
broody until late the following sea-
son, and thus an improbable circle
is formed. Each year pullets mature
too late to produce in the fall and
winter, and they sit too late for their

Taking Care of Baby Chicks.

Baby chicks most be thoroughly
taught the lesson that there is heat
underneath the hover of the brooder
and they must come to it to be warm
ed up when cold or chilled. When
brooding large hocks about the popu-
lar colony stove brooder this can be
accomplished with minimum of
trouble to the operator and the chicks
kept under constant control by the
use of strip OF stiff half-inch mesh
galvanized netting one foot wide and
about twenty-five feet long. This is
set on edge in a circle surrounding
the chicks about the stove. If it is
wished to crowd them up close under
the hover the ends are pulled past
each other and the diameter Of the
wide circle diminished. At feeding
time it can be expanded to its full
size and the chicks allowed to spread
out a short distance from the stove.
There will be little trouble and loss
from chicks piling up in cold corners
before they become brooder broken
if this little device is used from the
first four or five days OF brooding.
Also less constant attention will be
necessary, for the poultryman can
leave even newly Matched chicks for
several hours at time and be as
sured that none will wander away
from the stove and become chilled.
A shorter strip of wire can be used
to advantage about small portable
hovers in the same manner and when
the poult1yman has a dozen or so
appliances upon his hands in early
spring their aid will prove very well
come indeed.

Incubator Lamps,

Strict attention to the lamps is a
very important portion of the opera
tors duties. Only the very best
brands of kerosene should be used,
and the wicks should be properly
trimmed and cleaned at regular in
tervals. The burners should be boiled
as often as is necessary and be kept
clean and bright. If the wicks are
allowed to become encrusted-or dirty
imperfect combustion will follow, and
as a result the lamp will smoke and
the formation of SCOT will take, place
on the side of the chimney and in
time will fall down and put out the
light. With the above precautions
properly understood there should be
no necessity to attend an incubator
after it is regulated at night till early
the next morning. Always use a new
wick for the beginning OF a new
hatch. At the end of the season al
ways empty out the kerosene; other
wise it will volatilize and pass up
through the heating jacket into the
egg chamber and saturate the walls.
Very often this is is the reason for an
incubator smoking when it is first
started.

Lamp Troubles.

Most of the troubles experienced
with incubator and brooder lamps are
due to either dirty burners or poor
kerosene. Burners should be boiled
in lye and vinegar at regular inter-
walls and nothing but the very best
grade OF incubator oil that can be OBJ
tanned used. Dirty lamp bowls are
dangerous from their liability to ex-
plode. Always keep good sized
square Of cloth on hand and wipe the
tops and sides of the lamps perfectly
clean after each filling. The perforated
dies around the wick tube must be
clean and il. place. 1t sometimes be-
comes coated with an invisible film of
oil which shuts off the lamps supply
of air and causes it to smoke. A
new burne. for each size of lamp
that is in use should be on hand, for
one will sometimes become bent or
jammed and unsatisfactory to use. A
perfect junction between burner and
heater must be effected in the varie-
ties Of incubators that use no Chin
ney or the lamp will smoke. If such
happens and you suspect the burner,
cut out ring of asbestos to form a
washer between the two and if the
lamps burning is improved a new
burner is probably necessary. AL
ways use a new wick for each hatch
or brood of chicks, no matter how
long the old wick is. If brooder or
incubator smokes badly, the heater,
hues and smoke exhaust must be
thoroughly cleaned or the machine
will heat up but indifferently. Use a
strong solution of sod, ammonia
powder and soft water to remove the
deposits of SCOT. Use very handy
table in the incubator cellar for turn
ing eggs and filling lamps that is
made by mailing short legs in the cor
nets of large shallow box. The
top is covered with white table oil
cloth which is used to rest the egg
trays upon and is easily kept fresh
and clean. An extra flap of oil-cloth
is tackled to one end and after the
eggs are turned, it is turned over and
used for filling and trimming the
lamps,

Digestive Trouble,

About two years ago my hens
started dying, one every little while.
First, they act drowsy, then their
combs get blush and they STAND
around all drawn up and lose in
weight till they don't weigh scarcely
anything. They seem to have a yell
lowish diarrhoea and finally die. They
have full range and have been fed
ground corn and oats, bran, skim milk
and cooked potatoes.-Mrs. J. F. c.,
Nebraska.
Your fowls are suffering from d.
gestive trouble. 1t is due to the ra-
ton you are using. Would advise you
to eliminate the cooked potatoes and
to give the fowls a greater variety of
feed. The ration you have been CIV
ing them is too forcing and too con-
eentrated. Would discontinue feed
ing wet mashes. Feed as a grain feed
one part of corn, one part of wheat,
one part of oats. Feed as dry mash
one part of bran, one part of corn
meal, one part of middlings, one part
OF ground oats, one part Of corn glu-
ten feed. The above proportions are
by weight. Give the fowls free range.
To improve the condition of the di-
gestive system tonic. such as the
following, will be beneficial: Pulver-
lied gentian, one pound; pulverized
ginger, one-fourth pound; pulvcrized
iron sulphate, one-half pound. These
substances can he procured from a
drug store and mixed by yourself.
Use two to three tablespoonfuls of
EPSON salts to each quart of the drink
ing water and follow this for two
weeks with one-eighth grain OF
strychnine to each quart of drinking
water, and you should notice .
marked Improvement.

Prevent Roup,

Colds and roup cause more trouble
among the young chicks at this
season than with the adult fowls.
The main causes are damp brooders
and roosting coops. Large, roomy,
well heated brooders, with plenty Of
light and a deep litter in which the
chicks are kept busy scratching, are
the best preventative measures.
Chicks Matched from roupy stock are
especially susceptible to these trou-
bles, but the proper sort of brooding
will bring them, through o. K. In
case of trouble with colds, the first
step in order is an improvement of
the brooder or roosting coop quar-
tiers. Next disinfect the drinking
water and rub the heads of affected
chicks with camphorated vaseline.
Bad cases should be killed at once
and their bodies burned. Colds are
a rare exception in hocks. brooded by
the coal brooder by the coal brooder
stoves, as these supply constant
ventilation, with plenty of heat, and
are of necessity installed in roomy,
we'll lighted brooders, with plenty of
head room.

Secondary Equipment.

This spring when time comes to
invest in the smaller articles neces-
sary to care for the focks properly,
consider the point that money will
be saved, the daily routine of poultry
work lightened and the premises
greatly improved in appearance by
adapting some uniform and durable
material for such utensils. Troughs,
mash hoppers, nests, brood coops and
drinking pans OF galvanized metal
cost but little more than those made
of wood, are far more sanitary and
slightly, resist decay and, with ordi-
nary care, will last much greater
period of time. Articles of this ma
terial, moreover, will be stored away
when not in use, and they usually
nest together closely, take up but
very little space, while those of wood
are generally left in the yards from
year to year.

Feeding Ducks.

There is good money in raising
ducks, providing it is properly under
stood how to feed them and take care
OF them. Ducks should be grown as
quickly as possible, should be raised
where there is plenty of shade, and it
is not necessary that there be any
water, such as a pond. in which they
might swim. Thousands of ducks are
raised yearly that never saw any
water to swim in. Wet mashes are
used chiefly to produce quickest
growth. The following ingredients
should be mixed into mash and fed,
moistened enough to make it crumbly.
Ducks for the first two weeks should
receive their feed five times day. A
ration of two parts bran to one part
cornmeal, one.half part middlings and
5 per cent sharp sand, is a very good
growing ration for the first two
weeks. From the third week to ma
turity ration of two parts bran, one
part cornmeal. one part middlings, 10
per cent commercial meat scrap and
5 per cent of sand should be given.
The young ducklings should be all
lowed free range at. all times. When
properly fed the eighth week marks
the time to force for rapid maturity.
They should then be confined and fed
the following rations: One part bran,
one part cornmeal, one part middlings,
one-half part meat scrap and S per
cent sharp sand, this ration being
given four times day, In addition
a little green feed should be given.
By twelve weeks they should be ready
for market.

offspring to do any better. The poul-
tryman who wishes to get really good
returns from his flock must break this
circle.
The growing use Of incubators has
made this comparatively easier. There
is no reason why incubators should
not be filled in March and early April
and the Matching over before May /.
Results at the government poultry
farm in Maryland show that it is not
unusual to get daily average of one
egg for every five hens throughout
the fall and winter, and in some pens
the average has been as high as one
egg for three birds. If anything like
this percentage could be obtained by
the ordinary poultry raieer he would
derive real benefit from the high
prices which eggs invariably bring for
a period of several months.

Egg Shortage,

The Canadian government is urg-
ing increased production of good
poultry and eggs. The establishment
and operation of large hatcheries is
to be encouraged. During 1916 Can
ada shipped nearly 100000 dozen
eggs to Great Britain. In spite of
large shipments of eggs from the
states and from Canada, the British
market is still short on eggs and has
good demand for many million
dozen more. This should be a good
wear for egg farmers.

Egg eating is bad and expensive
habit of confined Aocks, but it is easy
to cure when you know how. Sim
ply take fiat fine file anG file the end
of the birds beak down to the quick
just far enough to show pink and
be tender without bleeding. Leave a
few china nest eggs in nests and on
floor. By the slime the egg-eater's
beak grows hard again the bad habit
will be cured. The same treatment
helps to stop feather pulling.

QUESTIONS and
ANSWERS
Wants Early Chicks.

I do not know how to get early
chicks. My hens do not sit early,
and later they usually want to all sit
at once. it is almost too expensive
to buy brooder for the few chicks
I wish to raise.
A good portable hover is not ex-
pensive and will give good results.
If you buy baby chicks and have a
few broody hens you can brood the
chicks with the hens and save loss Of
time in setting hens.
