OFFENDERS PLEAD GUILTY

Before Judge Boyce, Saturday at the
pleading day" court, Alfred Vinson,
colored, who last week was arrested,
charged with the larceny of curtains
from an automobile in the garage of
George Burton at his residence, and
then went to the Burton garage on
Loockerman street and tried to dispose
of the same, entered a plea of having
the curtains in his possession, claim
ing they had been given to him by anO-
ther party to sell. He was sentenced
to twoAyears' Imprisonment in the New
Castle County Workhouse and because
of his youth the lashes were remitted.
Frank Ennis, white man, giving
Wilmington as his nome, pleaded
guilty to bringing four quarts of whis-
ky to Dover, Thursday night last in a
suit case for another party. He was
given five months in the New Castle
County Workhouse

intended for the growing chicks. An
opening of about four inches is left at
the bottom of the frame so that the
chicks may run. under to get their
feed.
An abundance of free range should
be provided if the chicks are to make
rapid, vigorous growth. Confining
them to a limited range not only in
creases the chances of disease and loss
of vigor, but also tends to increase
the cost of feeding. Chickens on free
range obtain considerable food, such
as worms and cut bugs, which help to
reduce the cost of feeding.
Poultrymen should exercise every
effort to maintain clean and sanitary
coOps and houses. Disease most fire.
quently starts in unclean quarters.
Each house should be cleaned at least
once a week, and clean sand and straw
litter should be scattered over the
floor. When the chicks are confined
to limited range the ground should
be spaded at frequent intervals, so as
TO provide fresh ground for them to
scratch in. Chicks should be examin-
ed occasionally for lice or mites, and
if these pests are present immediate
steps should be taken against them.

fully brooded, their growth will be
retarded unless they receive the proper
attention during warm weather.
Growing chicks should be provided
with plenty of nutritious food, includ-
ing green stuff, dry mash and grain.
AS a supplement to the green food
which the chicks will lrustle on the
free range, a grain mixture, consist
ing of six parts cracked corn, three
parts wheat, two parts hulled oats, and
one part Kafir corn, should be fed
where possible. The ration may be
varied according to grains available,
providing the feeding value is main
tanned As the chicks get older clip
ped oats may be used instead of hull
ed cats. In addition 90 the above feed
a dry mash should be fed in a hopper
to which the chicks can have access
at all times. A good mixture for this
purpose consists of two pounds of
corn meal, one pound of middlings,
four pounds of rolled oats, two pounds
of wheat bran and two and One-half
pounds of beef scrap. Charcoal grit
and ground oyster shell should be
constantly so that the chicks
can help themselves. If a continuous
supply of skim milk is available it
Milford chronicle., 1919-06-13

ma ybe fed separately in a pan. and
the beef scrap in the above ration
should be reduced one-half.
Whenever it is possible growing
chicks should be allowed free range
so that they may obtainn as much nat
ural green food, such as grass, alfalfa.
and clover, as they need. Green feed
is an excellent tonic for chicks. and
when they cannot obtain it on range
such substitutes as sprouted oats. cut
clover, alfalfa, mangel beets or cab
bage should be fed daily.
Clean, Fresh Water Needed
The Importance of clean. fresh water
can not be overestimated. In very
hot weather fres water should be pro-
vided twice daily, and whenever pos
sible the water should be placed in the
shade. The water pan should be clean
ed every day before fresh water is
added. On many farms, where both
chicks and larger fowls have access to
he same range, a wire covered frame
should be made to protect the feed
