RAISING HEALTHY CHICKENS
Lack of Vigor in Newly Hatched
Chicks often TraceabIe to Weak
Parents-Give Best Care.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
To be successful in raising chickens
1t is necessary to have healthy and Wig
Orous breeding stock, for the lack Of
vigor in the newly Matched chicks Is
often traceable to weak parents. Only
the most vigorous and the best grown
birds should be put in the breeding
yards. Each bird should be full of
life and energy and free from any Sc
rious deformity. Yearling hens are
usually better than pullets for breed
ers, for the reason that the hens are
more mature and do not lay so many
eggs during the early winter, and con-
sequently do not reduce their vitality
so much before the breeding season.
Vigorous hens two to four years old
can often be advantageOusly retained
in the breeding yard. The male bird
chosen should be young and active.
An early Matched well-developed cock
erel is usually satisfactory. or good

with the same labor. In the harvest
ing of crops horse power may be uti-
liked more efficiently in many sections
by the use Of more horse power per
man.
Cooperative use of machinery in
harvesting the wheat and corn crop
would utilize horse power and labor
to advantage by the exchange Of labor
among small farmers.
Use of Manure Spreader.
Hauling out manure on the average
farm as it is produced, instead of al
lowing it to accumulate around the
buildings and hauling it out when con-
venient, would be an economical prac-
tice. Where the expenditure is justi-
fable the use of manure spreader
would distribute the manure to better
advantage and effect considerable saw
ing in labor over the old method Of
hauling out and spreading by hand.

The free use of an effective lice
powder is always advisable. A dust
bath, consisting of road dust and wood
ashes, is essential in Kidding fowls Of
lice. Sodium f1uorid, white powder
which can be obtained from druggists,
is also effective. Apply pinch Of
the powder at the base Of the feathers

1t is best not to permit the cabbage
worms to become very numerous.
There are various ways of controlling

tive and many growers prefer them.

More efficient utilization of horse
power on the average farm will assist
in large measure in saving labor
The necessary horse power is usually
available for the efficient operation
of the average American farm, but this
power Is not always utilized or dis
tributed to greatest advantage.
The practice of blowing as much
land as possible in the late fall rather
than In the spring, when work Is press
ing, will result in labor saving, as this
method utilizes both horse power and
labor at season when it would other
wise be practically idle.
In practically the entire cotton belt
the one-horse breaking pillow is In gen.
eral use. This requires the use of one
man per horse In the operation of the
farm. BY the use of the two-horse
breaking pillow the same labor could
break more land and at the same time
make better seeded,
Labor Is Plentiful.
Planting and seeding are still done
by hand in some parts of the cotton
belt, and the distribution of fertilizers
and manure Is largely done in the
same manner. This custom has pre-
vailed no doubt because the labor has
been plentiful. But the use of horse
planters grain drills, fertilizer dis
tributors, and manure spreaders,
where the amout Of land under culti-
walton would Justify the expenditure
for the implements. great saving of
labor could be effected.
In the cultivation of crops in many
parts of the South the use of the one
horse pillow and sweep prevails, and
because of the inefticiency of these i'm
plements the crops must be hoed al
most continually in order to keep the
crop clean. This method could be i'm
proved upon by using the light harrow
or weeder when the crop is young and
later the two-horse singlerow Guilt
vator. This would result in greatly
increasing the amount of work per-
formed with the same labor, and at the
same time doing the work more eff
GENTLY
Use Two-Row Cultivator.
In many sections of the country the
use of the twO-rOw cultivatOr has
been demonstrated as practicable,
thereby utilizing more horse power
and performing more work with the
same labor. The use Of this nipple
ment should be extended where condi-
tons warrant. On the average corn
belt farm more horse power per man
can be utilized in many instances. The
use of four or five horses on the dou
BILE gang pillow would accomplish
much greater amount of work than Is
now performed per man on majority
of farms where the two-horse walking
pillow is used. In the preparation Of
the seeded one man can readily ham
die four or six horses hitched to the
section harrow to which additional
sections have been added, thereby in
creasing the amount of land narrowed

In order to obtain stock in the COM
pany for distribution among the en-
ployees the directors of the American
Gas and Electric Company have adopted
the novel plan OF declaring special dtvi-
dend In new common stock and then
asking the stockholders who receive this
dividend to sell II back to the company
at its par value of $50 a share. This
action was taken In connection with the
declaration of the regular dividends on
the common and preferred shares with
an extra dividend on the common. The
regular quarterly payments of 1 u per
cent on the preferred and "a per cent.
on the common and an extra payment
to 20 per cent. and the special dividend
of ga per cent. on the common were
ordered. The regular dividend on the
preferred is payable on August l TO
stock of record on July 10. That on the
common 10 payable on July l to stock
of record on June 20. The extra divi-
dend on the common is payable on July
to stock of record on June 20 and the
special dividend on the common Is pay
able on October l to stock of record on
June 20. All OF the employees OF the
company. except it's officers and dlrec-
tors, will be offered the stock purchased
from stockholders. The complete plan
for this offering has not been worked
out, but will be evolved and explained
in the circular which the directors will
send to the stockholders asking them to

Dencft in Reserve.

For the first time since October 10,
1914, when the financial community was
emerging from the panic caused by the
outbreak of war, deficit occurred In
the reserve against time and deposits,
q small one, to be sure. but the direct
result Of the tax drain and the reduo-
ton in borrowings from the Federal
Reserve Bank The lowest reserve since
the previous deficit was q surplus of
only $12.s07,o0o on September 1, 1917.
This deficit, bankers hold. should not
cause undue alarm as II will be an easy
matter to obtain rodiscounts from the
Federal Reserve Bank on Monday. and
It was said yesterday that at the close
Of business the defloit had been rectlfied
with the probability of considerable
increase In surplus reserve on Monday.
Bankers say that money should not go
above per cent on mixed collateral
and 81 per cent on all industrial on
the next business day. but 1t is certain
that the money quotations at about 11.3O
tomorrow morning viii be watched with
unusual interest. The Government
withdrew about 330.000.o00 deposits
during the past week. but the $3S.111,-
210 shrinkage in reserve was caused
by loss Of s33,ooo.o0o in cash coupled
with an increase of $46,000.000 in de-
posits. Government money Is expected
to flow back tomorrow.
