R. L. Hays Manager Of 7. E.
Vineyard Loan Business

Mr.. T. E. Vineyard well-known
private banker and note broker,
suddenly concluded last Friday
that he must give up the active
management of his business.
This decision was FASTENED by an
affection of the right side of his
face which the physicians .attri-
butte to disorder of the nerves,
brought on by constant and SER
ious mental strain. Mr.. Vine
yards business has grown to
very great proportions and for
fifteen years he has buckled
down to the details of his affairs
without the loss of hardly a day.
His physicians say he must not
again apply himself SO closely.
Upon deciding to turn over the
management of his business to
some other person, Mr.. Vineyard
at once began 10 consider the
availability of Mr.. r. L. Hsys.
for several years past Clerk for
the South Penn Oil Company.
Mr.. Hays is a splendid and cap
able young man and Mr.. Vine
yard did not long debate the
question but offered him a hand
some insrease Of salary and at
noon Tuesday Mr.. Hays took
hold of his new duties. Mr..
Hays is courteous, 'obliging, in
dustrious and honorable and
will succeed as the manager of
this important business.
Mr.. Vineyard plans to devote
his time to regaining his health.

chicks to be thoroughly comfortable
without crowding, which is often fatal
to them. Enough Breeders should be
provided so that each chick will have
plenty of room without being forced
outside the brooder at night.
When the chicks first come out of the
incubator they have in their bodies I'M
absorbed the yolk of the egg, which
nourishes them for at least thirty-six
hours, so that no food is necessary at
first. The water and fine grit are es-
sential to start the digestive organs to
do their proper functions. We fed dried
breadcrumbs and finely chopped hard
boiled eggs as first feed, feeding this
every three hours for the first three
days.
Then we gradually substituted rolled
oats ground i'm a meat grinder and mix
ed this at first with breadcrumbs, as
they had to be taught to relish this
diet.
BY the end Of the first week we had
begun on the grain food. which we
didn't mix ourselves, but bought In the
form OF commercial chick feed. We
fed this every three hours for the first
week and then every four hours ut the
rate of one-half pint for a hundred
chicks, which IS what they can clean
UP i'm about ten minutes. In between
times they had before them a hopper
containing a mixture Of one part Of
finely sifted beef scraps, one part OF
fine charcoal and two parts OF finely
sfted bran. with the addition OF one
part of cornmeal I'm the second week,
also emitting to sift the bran.
During the first week we fed them
also beets or turnips ground In the
meat grinder, Offering this about once
or twice a day and gradually giving II
to them oftenor I'm the second week.
We also had clabber before them when
we had &C. and this they relished great.
/ ~, and, Of course. we kept charcoal
and grit before them constantly.

Absolutely no food at all should be
given young turkeys until the third day
after Matching, and then the important
question is less what 90 feed than how
much. Boiled egg mixed with rolled
oats. rubbed fine, and a good third OF
cracker crumbs Is the best food. Don't
let them have much. Just a bite or two.
Don't be overcredulOus to the often
told tale that a baby turk has no appe-
pigs. and their digestive apparatus IL
so dolicately adjusted that few bites
too much upset them. Leave corn and
corn products entirely out of their
menu for best results and Keep a varies
assortment OF grits always ia reach.
