HOUSING GROWING CHICKENS

Growing chicks should be provided
with house that will. give them a
place to stay in bad weather and at
night. No particular style of house
Is recommended, but IL should be so
built that 1t will provide ample ven4
tilation, dryness, sunlight, freedom
from drafts. and be so arranged that
it can be cleaned easily and fire.
quently.
The lumber from plano and dry
goods boxes can be used in building
such house, and when covered with
ordinary roofing paper so as to keep
out the rain, will make desirable
quarters. 1t is suggested that such
houses be built on the colony plan,
so that they ctn be moved from place
to place, thus providing the chicks
with fresh ground 10 range over. Ele-
waiting such house 1 inches above
the ground will help to keep the floor
dry, by means of the circulation Of
air, and such space will also provide
shade for the chicks.
In placing the chicks in their grow
ing house for the first time, It Is best
to confine them for several days by
erecting q temporary yard wherein
they can run for or days. until
they learn where to return when the
fence is removed and they are allow
ed their liberty. Care should be TAX
en- not to crowd the chicks by placing
too many in any one house. When
the chikens cover the greater part of
the floor at night. 1t is an indication
that they are too crowded. At such a
time they should be thinned out and
placed in another house.

Mash for Feeding in Hoppers

Every poultry raiser wants his
chicks to grow fast whether he plans
to get them on an early market or to
develop profitable layers. Early hatch
ing is one of the first steps in this d.
rection, but the next, which is OF
equal importance, is proper feeding
Undoubtedly chickens will grow fas-
ter when fed five times than when
fed only three times daily, say poul-
try specialists of the United States
Department of Agricultural, but 1t
should be borne in mind that more
harm can be done to the young chicks
by overlooking than by under feed
ing. Young chickens should be fed
not more than barely enough to satisfy
their appetites and to keep them ex-
ercising. except at the evening or last
meal, when they should be given all
they care to eat. Greater care must
DO exercised not to over-feed young

oats. hard boiled eggs, or johnnycake
Crumbly. but not sloppy mashes, made
by mixing with milk, are considered
valuable. During the second week add
cracked wheat, finely cracked corn
and hulled oats to the chicks ration.
After the chicks are ten days old
good growing mash. composed of two
parts by weight of bran, two parts
middlings, one part corn meal, one
part low-grade wheat flour or red
dog middlings, and ten per cent beef
scrap, may be placed In a hopper
ard left before them all the time.
The mash may be fed either wet or
dry; II wet, only enough moisture
(either milk or water) should be ad-
ded to make the feed crumbly. II
this moisture is not used hopper
containing bran should be accessible
to the chickens at all times.
After the chickens are two months
old they may be fed four times daily.
with good results. When they are
three months old three feelings a day
are enough.
Use Hoppers In Feeding Chicks Az
- As soon a. the chickens will eat the
whole wheat, cracked corn, and other
enthusiastically in about weeks -
the small-sized chick feed can be
eliminated, In addition to the above
feeds sour milk, skim milk, or butter
milk will hasten the chickens growth.
Growing chickens kept on o good
range may be given all their feed In

OF cracked corn with one part Of
wheat, or equal parts of cracked corn.
wheat, and oats In one hopper and the
dry mash for chickens in another.
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 10 days old, although some poul-
trymen put the beef scrap before ne
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

SYSTEMS OF FEEDING

There are two systems in use for
the feeding Of fowls, I'M bne of which
all the feed is' givn dry and in the
other OF which one or more Of the
daily feeds consists Of moistened
mash. For convenience they may
be termed the "dry-feed" and the
mash" systems. although in the dry
feed system dry mash Is often fed.
Dry feeding Is used by many where
Il is not convenient to make and feed
q moistened mash. The greatest ad-
yantages TO be derived from the dry
system are the saving Of labor and
the lessened danger Of bowel trouble
resulting from sloppy or soured mash

COMMERCIAL CHICK FEEDS

When one has only few chickens,
II is less trouble to purchase prepared
chick feeds. but where considerable
number are reared 1t is sometimes
cheaper to buy the finely cracked
grains and mix them together. Some
chick foeds contain large quantity
OF grit and may contain grains Of poor
quality. SO that they should be care
fully examined and guaranty as to
quality secured before purchase.

Articles of Interest
to the Farmers

The first Holstein calf club of
Stearns county will be organized at
the Paynesville stock farm on Satur-
day afternoon, March 20. The Stealns
County Holstein Breeders Association
through the efforts of their secretary,
E. B. Heller and Anton Schmitt, presi-
dent of the Security Bank at Paynes-
vile, have made it possible for boys
and girls in this neighborhood wish
ing to enter the Holstein calf club to
obtain a very desirable pure bred
female calf. Mr.. eller returned last
week from Renville, Mimi, where he
purchased twelve Holstein heifers that
will be given out on Saturday after
noon to the boys and girls entering
the calf club. The contestants will
give their note to the Security State
Bank for the purchase price of their
calf and will have an opportunity to
compete for prizes which will be offer
ed by the Holstein Breeders Asso-
citation and also special prizes at the
annual calf show held in Paynesville
some time in October.
Mr.. Heller, in referring to the Hol-
stein calf club, in which the boys anc
girls in the neighborhood of Paynes-
vile will participate, writes as fol-
lows:
"The Stearns County Holstein
Breeders Association has secured
very choice lot of calves of rich
breeding ranging in age from two to
six months. The boys or girls join
ing the calf club will get their calf
at cost plus the freight. They will
take them home and provide good care
and feed for the calf. At the end of
one year all calves will be brought to
Paynesville to be judged by surround
ing county agents. The best calf will
receive prize of $25, the second best
SIS, the third $40 and so on. These
prizes will be given by the Stearns
County Holstein Breeders Association.
Mr.. Heller will give additional prizes
of $40, SIS and So for the best calves.
The Security Bank will donate prizes
and we trust we will be able to Sc
cure additional prizes from other
business men of Paynesville.
"When heifers are old enough for
service such service can be had with
out charge from herd sires owned by
any of the following breeders: w.
Sack, Robert Nehring, Ed MANI, Gust
Reek or E. B. Heller.
"At the end of two years al heifers
will be judged again at which time
their owners can either sell them at
public auction and pay off their notes
or continue breeding Holstein cattle.
"The calf club will be organized by
our county agent on Saturday, March
20 at 200 p. m. at the Paynesville
stock farm. At this time the boys

A VITAL QUESTION.

Were we really worth fighting for
It will be we'll for each of us tt
ponder that question before the open
ing of the Victory Liberty Loan on
April 21st.
The answer will be the size of oul
subscription to that loan, not in dol
lars but in proportion to our financial
ability.
Over and over the story comes to
us from those who are now coming
back of how in the mud and suffering
of the trenches; in the long she'll
shattered silence of the night watches;
in the short, sharp struggles; in the
endless monotony of training and
waiting and working; in the shell
holes and on the hospital cots, the
one cheerful, sustaining thought was
of the folks at home.
Service of country and for an ideal
meant to the average only protection
and service for the "home folks"
Gallant performances were easy be-
cause they would please the dear ones
across the Atlantic Over and above
and through all the heroism ran the
thought of doing credit to those
whom they were fighting for and
were willing to die for.
With childish eagerness, strong men
waited for and devoured news from
home. With high strung nerves they
listened to reports of the progress of
former Liberty Loan drives and when
they heard how the ''home folks"
went cover the top" those boys went
back to their grim business Of war
with renewed courage and with the
smiles that the enemy could never
fathom nor stand against. ~.
1t all meant to the "Sammies" that
they were backed by the folks at
home The fathers and mothers and
brothers and sisters for whom they
were fighting, understood. They were
with them in spirit. They were doing
their share, were backing them to win.
AS a result those fighting "Yanks"
went back to their job of winning with
renewed courage.
Now our soldiers have done their
part They have finished their job.
Some of them will never come back
to US. The others are returning to
those they fought for.
But OUR job isn't finished until
"the United States has honorably met
ever commitment made in order to
win the war;" We will not be honor
ably discharged until we have loaned
our government the money it must
have to end this war and secure for
us and the whole world a lasting
peace.
Are we going to refuse to answer
this call of duty?
Are we going to refuse to make
permanent the benefits our boys
fought and died to win for us?
Are we going to quit under fire? If
we do, can we face those boys grown
into men on the battle-felds of
Europe? Can we welcome them home
and call them comrades?
They fought for US. Were we
worth fighting for?
The history of the Victory Liberty
Loan will record the answer.
