FEEDING CHICKS,

In raising chicks, the measure OF
success will depend largely on the
amount Of care and the attention that
is given them. Not only is their fut-
ure health dependent on this, but the
productiveness of the flock when ma
! tured will be influenced by the care
chat is given them as chicks. If i'm
proper ralions and methods are used.
it will be evidenced by stuuted growth,
lack Of appetite, weak vitality and
general inactivity.
It is important that the rations for
chicks be very digestible, they should
be made up of a variety OF sweet and
clean foods in order to stimulate con-
sumption and promote health. Baby
chicks should never be fed until they
are at least 48 hours old. The reason
for this delay in feeding is to permit
the absorption OF the egg that is in the
body of the chick and connected to the
digestinal tract at Matching time.
The first few days incubator chicks
should be kept either in the incubator
or under or about the brooderhover.
The first week the chicks should be
fed often, little at a time, in order to
keep them working and hungry. No
more feed should be given them at one
time than they will clean up prompt
ly. 1t is very important to feed a small
amount OF green food at sometime dur
ing the day, such as chopped clover,
alfalfa, sprouted oats or Swiss chard.
Keep the litter clean and sanitary al
ways.
BY all means do not feed musty Or
moldy grain, ground or otherwise, as
this is very often the cause of serious
bowel trouble. The presence of mould
can often be detected by scent and
when it cannot be seen.
For the first two weeks feed a grain
mixture made up of three parts crack
ed corn, two parts steel-cut oats, two
part cracked kaftir corn and one part
millet. This should be fed in shallow,
fine litter.
A good mash mixture may be made
of three parts corn meal, three parts
oat meal, one-half part of mixture of
fifty per cent high grade tankage and

Every Red Choss nurse saves soc
soldiersl'
That is why Red Cross is making
such strenuous efforts to enroll 5000
more graduate nurses by June /. For
the entire year of 1918 there must be
$4,000 nurses enrolled to assure our
expanding army and navy of adequate
care.
AS the nurses come forward to
answer their countrys call, other
young women who are educated and
desirable must enter nurses schools
to keep the ranks filled and provide
service for the people at home.
Courses may be taken at number
of places throughout the country
and every Red Cross chapter can give
information to young women who
wish to study.
Making surgical dressings and
hospital garments is important,
but if there are no nurses to apply
them to our wounded, they would be
useless. Consequently, graduate
nurses who have been holding back
will see the imperative need Of en-
listing at once. The Red Cross con-
siders it one Of the foremost tasks
assigned to it by the government to
stimulate enlistmcnts among nurses.
With American boys being wound
ed in large numbers in the great
battle in France, every American
nurses heart will beat with patriotic
feryor and June l undoubtedly will
see 5000 more enrolled under the Red
Cross banner

French Military
Band to Giue
A Big Concert

A musical event of unusual interest
will be concert in Carnegie Hall,
Thursday evening, June 6, by the ia
nous French military band, La Musique
Militaire FRANCHISE. The organization
has come to this country to visit the
American camps and environments and
to make an American tour. The band
made its first appearance in this coun-
try when it marched in the Red Cross
parade, and it has been heard on sew
eral other occasions in connection with
Red Cross and other patriotic work.
All of the members of the organiza-
ton have seen service at the front and
many of them have been wounded or
otherwise disabled for immediate mill
tary service. Vacancies in the original
band have been filled by other
wounded musicians, and all were given
furloughs to rest and recuperate. By
authority of the French government
and by invitation of the National War
Work Council of the Young Mems
Christian Association they were sent
to the United States.
