HOUsING GROWING CHICKS

Growing chicks should be provided with a. house that will give them place to stay in bad weather and at recommended, but it should be so built that it will provide ample ventilation dryness. sunlight, freedom from drafts, and be so arranged that it can be cleaned easily and frequently.
 The lumber from piano and dry goods boxes can be used in building such a house, and when covered with ordinary roofing paper so as to keep out the rain will make desirable quar- ters. It is suggested that such houses be built on the colony plan, so that they can be moved from place to place. thus providing the chicks with fresh ground to range over. Elevating sucn a house six inches above the ground VIII 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 Dy erecting temporary yard wherein they can run for five or six days, until they learn to return when the fence | is removed and they are allowed their | liberty. Care should be taken not to | crowd the chicks by placing too many l in any one house. When the chickens cover the greater part of the floor al night. it is an indication that they are /, too crowded. At such a time they should be thinned out and placed 1T another house.
 COMMERCIAL CHICK FEEDS 1 When one has only a few chickens it is less trouble to purchase preparef chick feeds, but where a considerable | number are reared it is sometimes 1 cheaper to buy the finely cracked | grains and mix them together. Sofn' chick feeds contain large quantity O grit and may contain grains of poo quality. so that they should be care fully examined and guaranty as t' quality secured before purchase.
 SYSTEMS OF FEEDING
 There are two systems in use TO the feeding of fowls, in one of whic' all the feed is given dry and in tn I other of which one or more of the dall. feeds consists of a moistened mash For convenience they may be tterme
 the 'dry-feed" and the mash" sys tems. although in the dry-feed syStef 4 dry mash is often fed. Dry feedin is used by many where 1t is not con | Nenient to make and feed a moistene mash The greatest advantages to~ derived from the dry system are tn saving of labor and the lessened dange of bowel trouble resulting from slopp
 or soured mashes.

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 di- dection, but the next, which is or equal importance, is proper feeding
 Undoubtedly chickens will grow faster when fed five times than when fed only three times daily, say poultry special ists of the United States department of agriculture, but it should be borne in mind that more harm can be done to the young chicks by overfeeding than by underfeeding. Young chick ems should be fed not more than barely enough to satisfy their appetities and to keep them exercising. except at the evening or last meal, when they should be given all they care to eat. Greater care must be exercised not to overfeed young chickens that are confined than those that have free range, as leg ic a1V to

THE CHICKS FIRST MEALS

Inexperienced poultry raisers arc tempted to feed chicks immediately after they are matched, but this should not be done. No feed should be given before the chicks are 36 or As hours old. During the first week feed them stale bread. pinhead oatmeal, rolled oats. johnny cake, or hard boiled eggs Crumbly, but not slop 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 10 days old q good growing mash composed of two parts by weight of bran, two parts mid 1 dlings, part corn meal one part l low grade wheat flour or re6-dog mid

 After the chickens are two months old they may be fed four times daily with good results. When they arc

USE HOPPERS IN FEEDING

As soon as the chickens will eat the
 whole wheat, cracked corn, and other
 grains-usually in about eight weeks-the
 small-sized chick feed can be elimi-
 mated In addition to the avobe feeds sour milk. skim milk, or buttermllk will hasten the chickens growth.
 Growing chickens kept on a good range may be given all their feed in hop per, mixing two parts by weight or cracked corn with one part of wheat, or equal parts of cracked corn, whea',, and oats in one hopper and the dry mush for chickens in another.
 The beef scrap may be left out of the dry mash and fed in a sperate hop per, so that the chickens can eat all of this feed they desire. If the beef 1 scrap is to be fed separately it is ad- visable to wait until the chicks are ID days old, although some poultrymen 1 put the beef scrap before the young chickens at the start without bad re- suits.
 l Chickens confined to small yards 1 should always be supplied with green 1 feed such as lettuce, sprouted oats. al l falfa or clover, but the best place to 1 raise chickens successfully is on a good Irange where no extra green feed is re- 1 quired. Where the chickens are Rep

INTERESTING FIGURES
ON GAS PRODUCTION

Fred A. Williams, new member
of the state public service commits
sion, came home from Salem today
for a short visit. He left on a short
business trip to Medford this after
noon.
Mr.. Williams gives some interest
ing figures in regard to the applica-
ton Of the Oregon Gas & Electric
Co. to raise their rates for gas in
this city. For instance, in 1912 fuel
oil was selling for about 40 cents a
barrel. while now it commands
$3.50 barrel. Kitchen wood used
to sell for about 81 tier, while at
present it sells for about $3.50.
Lately fuel oil went from s1.SS a
barrel to s2.50. A barrel of fuel
oil will produce, approximately.
something over 1000 cubic feet of
gas The gas company asks for a
raise OF 40 cents per thousand, max
ing a rate of $3.50 thousand, in
stead Of s2.10, as 1t is at present.
The hearing before the public
service commission will take place
at the Josephine county courthouse
on February Z, at 10 a. m, and Mr..
Williams urges that all those who
wish to make protest against the
proposed raise in rates be present
at that time.
