Young chickens should be fed from
three to FIVE times daily. depending
upon ones experience In feeding, say
the poultry specialists Of the United
States department Of agriculture. Un-
doubtedly chickens will grow faster
when fed five times than when fed
only three times daily, but It should be
borne In mind that more harm can be
done to the young chickens by over
feeding than underfeeding. Young
chickens should be fed not more than
barely enough to satisfy their appe-
tites and to keep them exercising. ex-
cept at the evening or last meal, when
they should be given all they will eat.
Greater care must be exercised not to
overfeed young chicks that are con-
fined than those that have free range,
as leg weakness Is apt to result In
those confined.
The young chicks may be fed any

An assistant county agent in Middle
sex county, Mass, noticed that many
farmers selling produce at one of the
community markets took no pains TO
make their goods attractive to pur-
chnsers. On several occasions the
agent was able to help farmers make
better displays OF products.
An instance occurred at Haverhill.
One morning the agent asked n farm
er how his tomatoes were selling and
wns told that practically no sales were
being made. An examination showed
that the box of tomatoes was partly
hidden by other products and that the
box showed some bruised. some poor
ly colored, and an occasional
specked tomato. The lot as whole.

When the chicks are few days old
It Is well to begin to feed a little grain.
Millet seed, finely cracked corn and
wheat, "pinhead" oatmeal, and broken
rice may be scattered In the litter or
short grass about the coop or brOOder.
1t will pay to sift the cracked corn
and wheat through sleeves, so as to re-
move both the meal and the larger
pieces. A very good mixture Of
cracked grain for chicks Is two parts
wheat, two parts "pinhead" oatmeal,
one part corn, one part rice. and one
part millet seed. Another good mixture
Is ten pounds cracked wheat. four
pounds cracked corn, two pounds mil
let seed, two pounds cracked hulled
oats or plnhead oatmeal, and one
pound fine beef scraps. There are also
many prepared chick feeds on the mar
ket which are very good.
Young chicks should be fed a little
at time and often. They should be
fed early In the morning and Just be-
fore going to- bed at night, and not
less than three times In the interven-
ing period. For the first two weeks
they may be fed three meals Of soft
feed and two of hard, and after that
