Feed grain in deep litter on tho
lloor and make the hens exercise for
II. The mash may be fed either wet
or dry, and should be so regulated
that the fowls will get about equal
parts of mash and of the scratch
grains. 1t is necessary to give the
fowls plenty to eat to get good results.
but the birds should always be eager
FOR each feed. In cold weather feed
about one-third OF the scratch grains
IN the morning and two-thirds at
night. In this way the hens are forced
to~eNereise~ more than ifpthey receive
. all the grain they desire at the morn
ing feed. A good scratch mixture
may be made of equal parts, by weight,
OF cracked ceral,5 wheat and oats; and
a mash may be made of two parts
.tcornmeal and one part each. of wheat
bran. wheat middlings and beef SCRAP.
!. Green feed. such MS cabbages, mangel
wurzel beets, cut alfalfa, or shrouted
oats, should be supplied to replace
the green feed which the fowls have
been securing in the fields; and beef
or fish scrap, skim milk, cut green
| hefle, or some similar feed is needed
to replace the bugs which the fowls
have been getting on the range. Beef
scrap or feed of this nature Is very es-
sentlal in securing a good supply of
eggs during the winter months.

coop until the chicks are weaned. |
while the chickens are allowed free |
range after they are a few days old. |
Where hens are allowed free range |
and have to forage for feed for them |
selves and the chicks, they often take |
them through wet grass, where the |
chicks may become chilled and die. |
Most of the feed the chicks secure in |
this manner goes to keep up the heat
OF the body, whereas feed eaten by
those that are with hen that is con-
fined produces more rapid growth, as
the chicks do not have too much ex-
ercise. Then, too, in most broOds
there are one or two chicks that are
weaker than the others, and if the
hen is allowed free range the weaker
ones often get behind and out of the
hearing of the mothers cluck and call.
In most cases this results in. the loss
and death of these chicks.
Milk Washes Good for Chicks.
The young chicks may be fed any
time after they are sc TO As hours old,
whether they are with hen or in
either hard-boiled eggs, johnnycake,
stale bread, pinhead oatmeal, or rolled
oats, which feeds or combinations may
be used with good results. Washes
mixed with milk are of considerable
value in giving the chickens a good
start in life, but the mixture should
/ be fed in a crumbly mass and not in a
! sloppy condition. After the chickens
are two months old they may be fed
/ four times daily, and after three
! months old three times daily. with
/ good results. Johnnycake composed Of
+ the following ingredients in the pro-
portions named is very good feed for
young chicks: One dozen infertile
eggs or one pound of sifted beef scrap
TO ten pounds of cOrnmeal; add
enough milk to make a pasty mash,
one tablespoonful of baking soda, and
/ bake until done. Dry bread crumbs
may be mixed with hard-boiled eggs,
making about one-fourth of the mix
| ture eggs, or rolled oats may be used
in place of the bread crumbs. Feed
the bread crumbs. rolled oats, or
johnnycake mixtures FIVE times daily
for the first week, then gradually sub
stitute for one or two feeds of the
mixture finely cracked grains of equal
parts by weight of cracked wheat, fine
ly cracked corn, and pinhead oatmeal
or hulled oats, to which about pei
cent of cracked peas or broken rice
and , per cent of charcoal, millet OF
rape seed may be added. CONNER

FEED CHICKS OFTEN

prepared by the United States De-
partment o. Agriculture.1
Feed young chickens three to
five times daily, according TO
your experience in poultrying.
DO not overfeed. Furnish small
quantities of food. barely enough
to satisfy the appetites of the
young fowls, and keep them ex-
ercising during the daytime. But
at the evening meal allow the
chicks TO eat all they want.
Greater care must be exercised
not to overfeed young chicks
that are confined than those that
have free range. as leg weak
mes is apt to result among those
confined.

MEXICAN NEWS

Release Of Jenkins Causes

issues.
The market opened under the in
f1uence of abandonment by the
government of the suit to recover
a vast territory of oil lands from
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. This news caused an up
ward movement of about II points
in Southern Pacific stock. Most of
this was still to it's credit when
the market closed.
The wild opening of Southern
PaCiflc ha" a very bullish effect on
other stocks and new high prices
for the movement were made in
numerous issues. The short inter-

Therefore, quite a line of short
stock was put out in the afternoon.
AS the announcement of Jenkins
release did not come until just
at ths> close of the market there
was no opportunity to cover these
short contracts. The outlook is,
therefore. for a rather lively open

advances regardless of business
conditions. but due entirely to tech

Wall Street took much comfort
from the reports that fully so per

mines is expected soon. But it is
