HEN RAISED CHICKS.
Mother Should Care For the Brood az
Long as She Will Do So.

Mother Should Care For the Brood az
Long as She Will Do So.
When chicks are raised in the nat
ural way with hens fewer mistakes are
liable to be made in the care of the
chicks. Still, early in the season, when
there is much bad weather, too much
must not be left to the hen, because
she cannot supply all the care that is
needed. Many early hen Matched chicks
are lost through failure to give them
suitable quarters where they will have
plenty Of room and can take advan-
tage of the sunshine Small chicks are
far better off indoors when the wealth
er is not pleasant. Later on in the
season or when the chicks are Of some
Eize running outside will be invigorat-
ing. but 1t is best to work on the safe
side at all times and take no chances
of chilling the chicks.
Sometimes the chicks from two
matches are given to one hen for rails
ing, and this works nicely in warm
weather. but do not try it until after
the LIST Of May, because in cool wealth
er one hen cannot cover more than If
teen chicks right, and quite early In
the season ten chicks are all hen can
look after,
Let the mother hen care for early
chicks just as long as she will do so,
and until the chicks are well feathered
have some means Of protecting them
on cool nights. The proper ventilation
Of their house or coop, however, must
always be watched carefully.
Chicks must be made to exercise free
.ly at all times, and, except when there
is good range, portion Of the feed
should be given In a litter.

Provision Should Be Made to Tide Over
Scant Pasture Period.

Provision Should Be Made to Tide Over
Seant Pasture Period.
Dairy farmers who have not already
made preparations for tiding cows over
the period of insufficient pastures in
late summer and fall should not forget
that many cows went nearly dry last
July and August, says Pennsylvania
Agricultural college bulletin. Such
conditions may be avoided and Incl
dentally the dairyman's bank account
strengthened by little forethought.
Maintaining the milk flow during the
period of insufficient pasture may be
accomplished by feeding additional
grain, by feeding soiling crops and by
feeding silage.
Feeding sOiling crops in addition to
the pasture secured by the cows helps
to maintain the milk flow at moderate
cost. The objection to this method is
the labor and planning necessary in
planting and cutting such crops at the
proper time. Unless one has some 81
lage from last years feeding soiling
crops offer the most feasible feeding
plan for the coming summer
The best, cheapest and most practi-
cal way to tide over short pastures is
to have an ample supply Of corn silage.
Plan to have enough left over from
winter feeding to take care of the short
pasture period. This involves less la
Dor than soiling crops, and the feed is
handy and ready for use whenever
needed.
The summer silo should be rather
narrow In diameter so that the silage
may be fed at the rate of three inches
daily to prevent spelling.
Begin now to plan for corn acreage
sufficient to insure silage for next sum.
mer's feeding. 1t will keep well with
the exception of small amount on
top. Put up an extra silo If needed.
In the meantime plant some soiling
crops for use this summer.

WAR SUMMARY

The Russian situation, to army
and navy authorities, seems to be the
most importance at the present time.
The government has been re-estab-
l1shed and the iron rule of Premier
kerensky Is apparently asserting it.
self among the fighting forces. In
d1cations point to certain rehabili-
tation of the army, at least for the
time being. Only in the army in
the southern most part of Bukowina
Is there continued mention of in
stability. Altho further reverses
were reported for some of the Rus
sian forces at different points of the
line, the set backs are not the general
rout of the army which was manifest
when the Russians fed in wild dis
order before the onward march of
the Teutonic forces.
General Korniliff of the Russian
army says that the first stage Of the
war is over and repudiates the pos
sibility of the Russians surrendering.
He holds that If Russia concludes a
dishonorable peace, to which traitors
have been driving her, she will be-
come German colony forever. The
Germans would seize her foodstuffs,
enroll her men and treat her as a
conquered country. There could be
no choice between the evil of war
and the evil of surrender.
There has been some uprising in
Germany by the socialists who have
opened fire on the government of
Germany. Philip Scheidermann, So
cialist member of the German reich
stag, in a speech delivered before
5000 people, demanded in the inter-
est of peace the speedy substitution
for the present government of Chan
cellor Michaelis of government
really representing the will of the
people. German socialists will OPP
pose in every way the newly consti-
tuted government on principle.
The French and British forces
have made some gain and have twice
defeated the German crown prince.
The inclemency of the weather has
prevented any great gains on either
side, but present indications are that
the weather is clearing. There is a
slight increase in the loss of British
merchant vessels by submarines or

The draft boards in many parts
Of the country are compelled to call
more men on the selective draft for
examination, owing to the great per-
centage of exemptions. Pershing is
confident of the ability and strength
of the American army. He wants
thinking men, men who are in the
best possible condition, under dis
cipline, but capable of brilliant in
dividual action.
The food bill passed both houses
of congress and the control has been
granted President Wilson. The food

war. broad government control over
foods, feeds, fuel, fuel oils, natural
gas, fertilizer and its ingredients,
tools, utensils and equipment requir-
ed for the actual production of all
such products designated "neces-
saries."

SWINE ON PASTURE.
Hogs Require Some Grain to Make
Economical Gains.

Economical Gains.
Hogs on pasture require grain for
greatest profits In pork production, but
a full feed is not economical when
pasture is plentiful and grain high
priced. When corn alone is fed a
limited ration is considerably cheaper
because the forage crop takes the place
of much of the grain.
Hogs fed all the grain they would
eat made more rapid but less economi-
cal gains in feeding tests at the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment station. They
can be marketed sooner, however,
which often is an advantage to farm
ers.
Some protein feed, such as tankage
or skimmilk, is recommended to be fed
in small quantity along with corn and
pasture to pigs weighing less than 100
pounds. Pork production is usually too
expensive when such feeds are given to
large hogs, especially If they are on
such pasture as alfalfa, clover, rape or
soy beans, all Of which are high in
protein.

Instinct OF the Reportsr.

Speaking Of the ability Of reporters

they observe things that other people
miss and because they do not let ii
appear that they have observed them.
When the great man who Is being in.
terviewed blurts out that which is In
discreet, but most important, the cub
reporter says: That is most interest
ing, sir. I'll make note Of that.
And he warns the great man into ST.

the indiscreet utterance as though it
bored him, and SO the great man does
not know he has blundered until be

Early Frost Kills Corn

The severe frost this week did 2
great deal of damage to the corn
crop. Farmers having silos will be
able to secure a great deal of value
from the crop. However, if the corn
is not denied it is advisable to cut
and stand in the shock about a week
Before putting in the silo. This is
due to the fact that the silage be-
comes too sour if put in at once when
too green. When filling later it
may be found necessary in most cases
to add water. Farmers not having
silos have time to build one if avail
able. For the man with live stock
a silo is an absolute necessity. 1t is
the best insurance againstfrost that
we have.
Indications are that the seed corn
situation will be serious in the spring.
All remember the seed condition two
years ago and corn is hardly adj
vanced as far this year as it was at
that time. Extra care should be
taken now to prevent a shortage next
year if possible. If the corn is at
all denied it can be cured by care in
hanging where it has a free circula-
ton of air and protection from freez-
ing.
