ration should be reduced one-half. 4
Whenever it is possible, growing
chicks should be allowed free range
so that they may obtain 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 1t 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 wa
ter cannot be overestimated. In very
hot weather fresh water should be
provided twice daily, and whenever
possible the water should be placed
in the shade. The water pan should
be cleaned every day before fresh
water is added. On many farms,
where both chicks and larger fowls
have access to the same range, wire
covered frame should be made to pro-
tect the feed 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 I'M
der to get their feed.
An abundance of free range should
be provided IL the chicks are to make
rapid, vigorous growth. Combining
them to q 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 bugs, which help to re-
duce 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 exam
ined occasionally for lice or mites. and
If these pests are present immediate
steps should be taken against them.

BUSH velvet BEAN Is
NONVINING VARIETY
Grows to Average Height Of About
Three Feet.
Does Not Irvine on Corn and Hence
Does Not Pull Down Stalks-like
cowpeas Crop, May Be Har-
vested az Hay.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The bush velvet bean, a selection
from the Alabama variety now being
produced on a commercial scale in
Georgia, is being distributed In trial
lots by the United States department
of agriculture. This differs from all
other velvet beans in cultivation, as
1t is q bunch bean instead Of a vim
Ing variety. 1t grows to an average
height Of about feet. 1t makes
rather less growth than either the
Alabama or Georgia varieties, while
its character Of growth increases the
difficulty Of harvesting seed. The
amount Of heritage is somewhat less
than the average production Of the
velvet bean family.
The special advantage Of the bush
velvet bean is that 1t does not Irvine
on corn and hence does not tend to
pull down the stalks. while 1t is also
valuable for planting In orange and
other fruit-tree groves where a nom
vining bean IL desired. Like cow
peas. this bush may also be harvest
ed as hay, as the absence Of twining
stems eliminates the common difficult
ty which occurs in moving the ordi-
nary twining varieties of velvet
beans. Bush beans are planted about
the same time as cotton, when the soil
is thoroughly warm, the seeds being
dropped 2 or 3 feet apart In rows 3 to
8h feet in width and covered the
same as corn. 1t is customary to
plant the beans either alone or in the
same rows with the corn. One
bushel of seed will plant 2 to 8 acres.
After planting, the crop should be
cultivated about IKE cowpeas.

CARE AND ATTENTION
NEEDED BY TERRACES
Should Be Looked After Before
Loose Soil Settles.
Weak Places Should Be Inspected ln,-

Breaks Repaired-Sow Some
Kind Of Cover Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart

Terraces require considerable care
and attention, especially during the
first year, before the loose soil has had
time to become settled thoroughly.
All apparently weak places should be
visited after every heavy rain, and
any breaks should be repaired immedi-
ately with a shovel. 1t is best not to
cultivate the terraces the first year,
but to seed them to some kind Of cover
crop.
It Is advisable to run the crop rows
parallel to the terraces, one row be-
ing planted on top Of the terrace. The
cultivation Of the top row tends to
keep the top Of the terrace at the
proper height. Where the rows are

HIGH PRICES FOR SILVER.

For the first time in nearly 50 years silver went under the 16 to 1 ratio to gold on November 10, when bullion sold in the New York market at $1.305 an ounce. This was the highest price since 1872, when silver brought S1.325 an ounce.
 While this price for bullion would yield profit to those melting down silver dollars, the silver in which is worth $1 when the price of bullion silver is at $12929,, 1t is doubtful whether such melting will take place to any great extent unless the present high prices for bullion are maintained for a. consid eraible period.
 The rise in the price of silver is attributed to the heaJ~ demand for the metal by England, Canada, India, Hongkong, and China.
 Stocks in China especially, were re- duced by the embargo on exports which was maintained from the sum- mer of 1918 until last May. Since the lifting of this embago China has been taking more silver than all other countries combined.
 In August, China took $10,911, ,987 in silver and since then her agents have been in the market for ever larger quantities.

BRITISH READY
 TO TAKE CHANGE ON LOTTERY LOAN

London, Nov. 25-The proposal of the. French government to issue a huge lottery loan has aroused inter- est here to the extent that the Chan cellor. of the Exchequer has stated in the Commons that he would not offer objections to a British lottery loan if he were satisfied the people really wanted it. This statement was made in the face of a committee re- port adverse to such a loan submit ted to parliament at the last session.
 Some newspaper commentators particularly the Daily Mail, say that if the French adopte the proposal Great Britain should do likewise for two reasons: to keep at home money that undoubtedly would be invested in French bonds and because they
 believe such a loan would be a great
 success here. In this connection they point out that the five per cent Vic tory Loan, to boom which American Liberty loan publicity methods were adopted, did not reach the amount ! hoped for.
 The French proposal is for the is- suance of bonds of S100 each which 1 entities the holder to a full number l On every day for two years a prize ot | $250,000 will be given away. Be 1 sides this there would be weekly prizes ranging from $75,000 down to 1 $1,000.

HIGHER PAY IN ARMY
 AND NAVY FORECAST
House Military and Naval Com
 mittee to Recommend In creaSeS Next Month.

Washington, Nov. 25-Increased pay for all men in both army and navy has been agreed upon by lead CTS of the military and naval com mittees in the House. Present plans are to recommend increased sched- ules soon after the reconvening of the regular session. on December 1. The bills will be rushed through so that the increases may be held in the na- ture of Christmas presents.
 The increases for both arms of the service will be virtually the same for the corresponding ranks. No gener- al percentage increases are planned, but the committees expect to desig- nate certain amounts to be added to the present pay for each grade.
 To facilitate the Congressional work on the increases and to treat the army and navy the same Repre- sentative Butler (Pa.) has asked the appointment of a special joint com mittee to consider the needs of both branches of the service. To this the members of the Military Affairs Committee have agreed, and the joint committee is expected to meet the latter part of this week to frame the increased schedules. Sentiment of both committees is unanimous for an HUI ease Ol SOI1to hluO, NIT. Butter says, and he Is certain 1t will meet little objection in the House.
 The House Naval Affairs Commit tee has made an extensive investiga- ton of the financial status of the of ficers and men in the navy. Repre- sentative Kelley (Mich.), who has been conducting the investigation believes the increases to be granted will follow closely those suggested by Secretary Daniels. These provided additional compensation of from $1,000 a year for Admirals to S2o0 a year for the lowest grade of en- listed man. The increases ranged from about to 22 per cent

MONTENEGRINS PRACTICE QUEER
 MEDICINE TRICK

Niegosh, Montenegro, Nov. 25.-(By The Associated Press). - American physicians doing relief work in Mon tenegro tell of some curious methods of treatment employed by the inhabi- tants of this little mountain country. When a Montenegrin is wounded the first thought of the natives is to ap- ply chewing tobacco, horsehair, or 8. fresh rabbit-skin with the hair facing inside. Common ink is considered a sovereign remedy for burns. To stop bleeding sores or wounds cobwebs are used. When a person Is bitten by a dog, the favorite remedy is to pull off the animals ear and rub the wound with 1t.
 The patron saint of Montenegro is St. Vascilla, whose shrine is situated on the summit of a mountain between Podgoritza and Niksic. Every week thousands of devout Montenegrins, come to this mountain shrine seek ing cure for their ills.

DEVON

The high cost of living has certain ly hit the residents of this resort with great force, and now added to the long list of high prices comes the complaint that it has effected the cost of religion The blame for this is placed on the zone system being used by the Connecticut Company. Many worshippers from Walnut Beach who have been attending the services at St. Mary's and other churches in Milford, now lind that 1t is cheaper-to go to Devon and Stratford to church on Sundays than to Milford. Formerly the fare to Mill ford was six cents and the same to Devon, and twelve cents to Stratford. Now passengers are forced to pay anywhere from to 16 cents to ride from here to Milford, while they can ride to Stratford for less than this amount The distance to Milford is much shorter but the fare greater, so a great many of the church-goers from here now attend the Sunday services at Stratford and Devon.
