Importance of Shade for Growing Chicks

importance OF SHdut IOf UIoWnS InlCkS.
Late Matched chicks often fail to make
satisfactory growth because proper shade
/ is not within their range. Poultrymen
and farmers who are very careful to do
all they can for their chicks in other
ways frequently fail to realize the i'm
portance of plenty of shade. Chicks that
are obliged TO retire to the closeness of
hot coop or house in the heat of sum
mer because there is not shelter from
the hot sun will not do well.
The air under shade trees, in a corn
field or under a building is cooling and
refreshing. Very often bugs, worms and
other things to eat viii be found in these
places With grain high in price, the
more the chicks can find to eat, the less
it will cost YOU to feed them. Give
them all the range in the shade that is
possible; il will stimulate growth and
produce stronger. harder, better chicks.
There il no objection 10 growing chicks
and corn on the same land, il the corn is
eight OF ten inches high. as each Is a
benefit to the other. Efficiency is the
watchword in poultry raising, as well a.
in farming; and growing two crops on
one piece Of land simultaneously is GER
tainly efficient
Another important feature Is TO put
the water dish in the shade. chickens
like people, want cool water to drink on
hot day. Sun-heated water in a dirty
receptacle viii cause a great deal Of trou-
bic which can be easily prevented by sim
ply supplying fresh water.
More information on the care Of grow
ing chicks and helpful. efficient hints are

TAKE CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.
Vermont Farmers Are Urged to Conserve
Equipment.

The farm machinery shortage demands
better care of implements. Many farm
ers are using more implements to replace
labor. This greater use of implements
demands greater care not only to make
the machinery last longer, but to make
it more efficient. The shortage of mate
rial for machinery and for repairs neces-
sarily limits the possibility of replacing
implements or broken parts. 1t is, there
fore, necessary to make each machine
last as long as possible and to avoid
carelessness which may result in broken
parts.
Prof. r. T. Burdick, farm help special
ist of the extension service of the Uni
versity of Vermont and state agricultur-
al college, suggests that every tool be
carefully examined at least when job
is completed The tractor, which is com
ing into more general use in Vermont
could be cleaned protitably at the end of
each days work. This will not only in
crease the life of the machine, but will
give the operator a chance to discover
broken or loose parts which, otherwise,
would impair the efficiency of the trac-
tor and the driver. The same care should
be accorded to the other implements in
proportion to their delicacy and compli-
cation of structure.
If farm machines are examined on the
completion Of each job and there is no
time to repair them at that time, each
part should be labeled, so that it can be
ordered and replaced at the earliest con
venience. 1.-THE time to repair the equip
ment is not when the machine is needed
in the field, but during the spare time
when it is in the machine house" A
New England machinery company states
that the first Monday after July they
have about 400 orders for moving ma
chine pitman heads.
Investigation has shown that In most
cases where tractors do not give good
service the cause has been due to lack
of knowledge on the part of the opera
tor. The farmer should study the ma
chinery carefully before he condemns it.
Every instruction book that accompanies
a machine is sent out with the idea of
aiding the operator. When a new trac-
tor is bought, the farmer can well afford
to spend many hours in studying the
1t should be remembered that
very few manufacturers would put a
tractor on the market which could not |
be operated. While they might succeed |
in selling a considerable number of I'M |
machines, the reaction would |
soon force them out of business. With |
this idea in view, it is probable that
operators will find the fault within
rather than within the trac-
.or. The same suggestion might be made
other farm implements.
Every farmer should secure farmers bull

county agent THESE bulletins give de-
,ailed methods of care of plows, har
-ows, mowers, reapers and binders.

Save Wood Ashes.

Now that coal is short and many viii
burn wood this winter, it is earnestly
hoped that they will save all wood ashes
that may accumulate and not have them
carted away to some dumping ground
Wood ashes contain two valuable ele-
ments or plant foods. namely. lime and
potash. The lime is applied to the soil
CHIEFLY to sweeten or neutralize acids and
the potash Is a plant food used by all
plants. Before the war We obtained NOT
ash salts from Germany but now they
are scarce and very expensive and only
small quantities are used in commercial
fertilizers. Hard wood ashes are more
valuable than those from soft wood I'm,

THE TENTH IS NOT TOLD.
The People of This Country Have Much
Yet to Learn in Economies.

Under the administration of President
Roosevelt and his famous sforestrv
chief, Clifford Pinchot, the principle of
conservation of national resources first
dawned eonspicuously upon the Ameri-
can mind. Conservation became a fad.
but while II was conceived theoretically
in all departments of life il was re-
garded seriously only as it applied to
forestry, water power and soil. 1t did
not touch the daily lives of the people.
They heard most about il in magazines
and debating societies. And if the sub
ject had not been raised again, and in
its far broader aspects. by the necessi-
ties of war the excitement of that war
itself would probably have placed con
servation in the same row of mental
pigeonholes occupied by free silver and
Canadian reciprocity
But look what war has done. And the
tenth is not told. War, in a word. is
showing us on what n tremendous mar
gin of waste we have been living. We
are saving tons of meat and flour bv the
simple expedient of meatless and wheat
less days. We are saving already large
quantities of coal by curtailing unneces
.ary lights and by just being a little
more thoughtful. We are saving in
general because prices are high and
because patriotism has been added to
the incentive of thrift.
But this is nothing compared TO what
we can do when the necessity is actually
at hand. We need not look to what
Germany is doing, although German
economy has many lessons from which
We could learn. But see what France
is doing-France which has not been re-
dthed, as has Germany, to the desperate
expedients of beleaguered citv. The
minister of provisions. even at this late
stage of the war, has issued what are
called drastic orders for the conserva
ton of food and other supplies. AND
yet these orders include only SUSPENSION
of the use of private automobiles. tn,

Ono Foot Walks Fa.ser Than Other

You may think it is silly to ask which
foot walks faster but it isn't. If you
will take a pavement that is clear and
walk brskly in the center, you will find
before you have gone 80 yards, that you
have veered to one side You must not
make an effort to keep in the center. but
il YOU will think of something. and en-
deavor to walk naturally, you will not be
able to keep in direct line If YOU
lose yourself on an eNpanse OF black moor
land and walk on, You will describe a
complete circle The explanation lies in
the propensity of one foot to walk faster
than the other. or take a longer stride
than the other, causing you to walk to
one side. To make assurance doubly
sure, try placing two sticks about eight
feet apart, then stand off about 90 feet
| blindfold yourself, and endeavor to WALL
between them.
