Heat for Brood Chicks.

The best temperature ut which to
keep 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 amount of heat
they require, he can discard the ther-
mometer IL he desires. When too cold
the chicks will crowd together and
try to get nearer the heat.
1t is not possible to say for each
case at what temperature the brooder
should be kept to raise young
chickens, but it 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 90 to 95 de-
grees for the first week or ten days,
when the temperature Is gradually re-
duced to IS degrees for the following
ten days, and then lowered to 20 or IS
degrees for as long as the chickens
need heat. This depends somewhat on
the season Of the year and the num-
ber Of the chickens, as 1t can be read
lily seen that the heat generated by so
chickens would raise the temperature
under the hover to q higher degree
than the heat given OF BY q lesser
number.

POTATOES INSTEAD OF
WHEAT.

Use Of potatoes to save wheat
Is demanded by the present stu
alton because greater quantities
Of wheat must be conserved for
the use Of the American forces
and the allied armies in Europe.
and also because an unusually
large supply Of potatoes remains
in the hands of the growers.
Great quantities of these will go
to waste unless they are used
even more freely and in great
er variety of ways than is GUS
tomary in American families.
With the basic price of wheat
fixed as at present, flour is $13.7O
a barrel, or z cents pound. If,
then. potatoes can be obtained
at $1.2O a bushel, which is 2
cents pound, 1t Is an economy
as we'll as a war service to use
potatoes as a substitute for flour
in bread making. Even at 3
cents pound the potatoes cost
no more than flour.
Ways to use potatoes in place
Of flour for various uses, par
ticularly in bread making, are
shown by carefully worked out
recipes in publications of the
United States department of
agriculture. Some of these
recipes are given here.

Potato Breads-Try Them.

That we can use potato with flour
Is not surprising, for the food SUBJ
stance potato supplies most abundant
ly is starch, and it is largely because
of the starch they contain that the
world uses cereal grains as bread
stuffs. 1t will very often be found,
with little experimenting, that one
third to one-half of the flour in some
favorite recipe can be replaced with
mashed potato.
II potato Is used for bread making
allowance must be made for the large
amount of water in 1t and less addi-
tional liquid used for this reason.

skim milk, or buttermilk to drink.
Growing chickens kept on 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 one 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
ems 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 can eat all of this
feed they desire. II the beef scrap is
to be fed separately 1t is advisable to
wait until the chicks are ten days old,
although many poultrymen 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 q
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 good range.

ROLL STEEL FOR S215 WEEK
Many Workers In st. Louis Mills Av.
eraae 5000 a Year, Off,
eIal Says.

st. Louis.-Rollers employed at the
St. Louis and Granite City plants Of
the National Enameling and Stamping
company are making as much as $215
a week, working eight hours day, an
official Of the company said.
He explained that rollers were paid
on a tonnage basis, and that such flg-
ure was unusual, but estimated that
many Of the 175 rollers employed in
the two plants average $4,000 to 5000
year.
Rolling steel Is one of the forms Of
labor requiring the highest degree Of
skill, although men sometimes serve
their apprenticeship in three or four
years. The work consists Of superin-
tending the heating Of steel bars that
are to be rolled, adjusting the rolls
and feeding the steel into them.

Dry bread crumbs may be mixed with

Feed Five Times Daily.
Feed the bread crumbs, rolled oats,

When one has only few chickens
1t Is less trouble to purchase the pre-
pared chick feeds, but where a con-
siderable number are reared 1t Is
sometimes cheaper to buy the finely
cracked grains and mix them together.
Many chick feeds contain large guam

Of poor quality, so that they should be
carefully examined and the quality
guaranteed before they are purchased.
Eliminate Chick Feed.

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 1t
should be borne in mind that
more harm can be done to the
young chickens by overfeeding
than by underfeeding, 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.
