Public Building Architecture.

1t is an unfortunate circumstance
that the concept Of architecture" to
most persons, Is limited to libraries,
art galleries and other public build
ings. These they feel. are "architec-
ture :" and architecture" to fulfill the
most popular conception Of 1t, must
have Greek columns, and be executed
in stone. on a scale more or less grand.
and at an expenditure of equally con-
spicuous scale.
So far as this general popular esti-
mate goes, 1t is an excellent and high
ly desirable thing. The people Of
every town and city. the people even
Of every village, should be keenly In
terested in the architectural merit Of
every public building which Is being
erected with city funds. They should
demand the highest order of archi-
tectural merit and should come to
learn some intelligent discrimination
between architectural merit and f.
nancIal expenditure. The library, for
example. in a nelghboring town may
have cost several thousand dollars
more to build than the library In ones
own town, but II may not be neces-
sarily better archltecturally.-Ex-

Heat for Brood Chicks.

The best temperature at which to
keep a brooder or hover depends upon
the position Of the thermometer, the
style of the hover, the age of the
chickens and the weather conditions.
Aim to keep the chickens comfortable.
As the operator learns by the actions
of the chickens the amOun of heat
they require, he can discard h Their
mometer If he desires. When too cold
the chicks will crowd together N
try to get nearer the heat.
It is not possible TO say for each
ease at what temperature the brooder
should be kept to raise young
chickens, but 1t will run from 80 to
100 degrees in some cases, as some
broods of chickens seem to require
more heat than others. Average tenn
peratures approximate e3 to 30 de-
prees for the first week or ten days,
when the temperature is gradually re-
duced to So degrees for the following
ten days, and then lowered to 10 or 10
degrees for as long as the c1ickens
need heat. This depends somewhat ON
the season of the year and the mum
Der of the chickens, as it can be a
ily seen that the heat generated by Oh
chickens would raise the temperature
under the hover to a higher degree
than the heat given off by a lesser
numher.

BEST FOODS FOR

Youngsters Are SO to 48
Hours Old.
BAKED JOHNNYCAKE Is GOOD
Put the "Grow" In Young Fowls by

Give the young chicks a good start
in life by feeding carefully. prepared,
nourishing food. Feeding should begin
any time after they are thirty-six t.
forty-eight hours old, whether they are
with the hen or in a brooder, and for
the first month or two they may be
given food as often as five times IA day.
Baked johnnycake composed of the
following ingredients in the proper
tons named is a very good feed for
young chicks: One dozen infertile
eggs or one pound of sifted beef scrap
10 ten pounds of corn meal; add
enough milk to make a pasty mash,
and one tablespoonful of baking soda.
Dry bread crumbs may be mixed with
nafd-boiled eggs, making about one
fourth Of the mixture eggs, or rolled
oats may be used in place of the
bread crumbs.
Feed Five Times Daily.

BIRDS PROTECTION IN PARKS
Subject Is Engaging the Attention Of
Town Authorities In all Sections
Of the Country.

In many eastern cities, where the
winters r most severe, the park
officials maintain feeding stations for
frozen north as Minneapolis a num-
Der Of such winter feeding places are
found in every park of their extensive
system. Theodore Wirth, the super
intendent of parks. says: 1--WE have
a long severe winter and find 1t neces-
sary to feed birds regularly every day
for months If we are to hold them In
our parks for the summer. We have
also built and placed a large number
are we'll populated. We protect birds
in every possible way and the local
Audubon society is doing excellent
work. A good many kinds of birds
which were rarely seen here a few
years ago are now found in large num-
bers, and many which formerly left In
the fall now stay with US over winter"
We have. in many parks, sufficient
%shrubbery for cover, we are not trou-
bled much with cats, yet park men
should be required to kill all found
within the several larger parks and to
keep none except a single cat in each
s%torehouse. encouragement should be
given In every way to the increase of
native birds and those of bright plum
age and sweet song from other lands
should be introduced. The country,
not the city, should perform the office
of Introduction of new kinds. In a
climate so mild as urs there should be
a ~thousand-fold as many birds as we
now have and the parks should be
filled with them.-Los Angeles Times.

PREPARE FOR HOME GARDEN
National Health, as Well as c~onserva-
ton and Patriotism, Demand
Planting Of Many This Season.

The home garden this coming season
or ever before. 1t is not only a means
of national conservation and patrio-
tism; a measure of national health
lies within 1t. The man who can and
who fails to put in a home garden
next spring will be a Stacker. The
government stands ready to help in
the garden, and government bulletins
on garden subjects may be obtained by
writing to the Division of Publications,
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton. d. c.. for a list of publications
available for distribution. Many of
the state agricultural colleges. too,
have garden bulletins for free distri-
button.
Sometimes. In many states of the
Union. there is a chance to pillow the
garden early. When that chance
comes the garden should be MANFRED
and plowed. Barnyard manure is a
source of weed seeding, but it is the
most satisfactory fertilizer usually OBJ
tainable. A spot four or five feet
square should be selected at the low
est. wettest spot in the garden for a
compost pile or pit, If not too much
trouble to dig a shallow pit. Into this
pit throw all grass cuttings. leaves.
vegetable tops and pea vines and to-
mato plants. They rot in a year or
two and form a valuable source of
humus for the garden soil.-Country

skim milk, or buttermilk to drink.
Growing chickens kept on a good
range may be given all their feed in
a hopper, mixing six parts by weight
OF cracked corn with one part of
wheat and n part kafir corn in one
hopper and the dry mash for chickens
in another. In addition feed two
parts of the scratch mixture in the
form of sprouted oats until the chick
n are three or four months old,
when dry whole oats can be used. The
beef scrap may be left out of the dry
mash and fed in a separate hopper, so
that the chickens cal eat all of this
feed they desire. If the beef scrap is
to be fed separately it is advisable to
wait until the chicks are ten days old,
although many p%oultrymen put the
beef scrap before the young chickens
at the start without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce. sprOuted oats,
alfalfa, or clover, but the best place to
raise chickens successfully is on a
good range where no extra green feed
is required. Fine charcoal, grit and
oyster shell should be kept before the
chickens at all times, and cracked or
ground bone may be fed where the
chickens are kept in small bare yards,
but the latter feed is not necessary
for chickens that have a good range.
, 1918-04-04
FEED CHICKS OFTEN
BUT DON'T STUFF THEM.

Young chickens should be fed
from three to five times daily.
depending upon ones experience
in feeding. Undoubtedly chick
ems can be grown faster by feed
Ing five times daily than by feed
ing three times daily, but it
should be borne in mind that
more harm can be done to the
young chickens by overlooking
than by undertaking, and at no
time should they be fed more
than barely to satisfy their ap-
petites and to keep them exer-
cising, except at the evening
or last meal, when they should
be given all they will eat. Young
chicks that are confined need
more attention to avoid over
feeding than those that have
free range, as leg weakness is
likely to result in those confined.

Trees Must Have Room.

In order to insure symmetry of
growth, trees must be allowed unre-
stricted area for development. At
least 40 feet should be allowed be-
tween trees intended to occupy the
ground permanently. Quick-growing
temporary trees may be planted be-
tween the long-lived ones to produce
Immediate results, but these should
be removed as oon as they interfere
with the development Of the perman-
ent plantations .
