HOW TO FATTEN MARKET
COCKERELS.

It IL profitable to feed cockerels
which arc going to market fatteninE
rations for two to four weeks before
they are disposed of. the length of time
necessary for fattening depending to a
large extent on the age OF the cocker
els which are to be marketed.
In marketing broilers Of from six TO
twelve weeks Of age. usually ten days
to two weeks fattening is all that 10
profitable. For the springer. which In
from twelve to twenty-four weeks old,
from two to three weeks will be found
most profitable in fattening. For tho
large soft rooster and the capon from
four to six weeks should be used In
the fattening period.
The following ration will be found
to be very effective for this purpose:
Parts by weight, corn meal, 3; wheat
middlings, 2; wheat bran, l 4; meat scrap,
2. All that the birds will eat up clean
In a half an hour at a time and no
more should be fed in moist condi-
ton at least three times day. Whole
or cracked corn can also be fed about
an hour after the mash, but only
enough SO that the birds will have Il
cleaned up in twenty minutes after
feeding.

quent in flocks that are somewhat
crowded and are not kept busy.
II the weather is still cold let them
out only when the sun is shining,
about the middle of the day. Do not
allow them 10 remain out for mese
than two or three hours ON the FIRST
few days.
Place q small hopper OF meat scrap
In the pen. especially IL the chicks are
week old or more, when they show
these malicious signs. Sometimes this
helps materially. and at other times
Just the introduction of the mash hop
pers for the first time will so engage
their attention that they will stop toe
picking.
The feeding of sour skim milk I'm
regular water fountains will probably
cut down on the prevalence of this
habit among large fiocks of chicks. 1t
furnishes protein so that their bodies
do not crave for that sort of food.
Feeding fine cut UP sprouted oats Is
good for the chicks not only from the
standpoint Of supplying succulent food
but also by helping to keep them busy.
Chicks that have been picked at
should be removed from the rest of
the flock Immediately and placed In a
small hover by themselves. This can
nibalism may take other forms than
mere toe picking, the base Of the tail
and the bow of the little wings are
often picked at until bleeding starts.

TREES.

Trees are the arms Of Mother Earth
lifted up In worship of her Maker.
Where they are, Beauty dwells!
Trees are the shelter of man and
beast and bird; they furnish the roof
above us, the shade about US and the
nesting place of love and song. They
call children out to play; they entice
sweethearts into leafy coverts to seal
their vows with fond caresses; they
console and gratefully reward old age.
They are the flttest ornaments of
wealth and the inalienable possessions
OF the poor who can enjoy them with
out having title to them. They are
the masts that fly the flags of all ma
lions and the sails of all the seas
they are the timbers that bridge for
bidding streams; they bear the wires
Of the worlds intelligence; they hold
the rails that carry the traffic Of the
continents; they are the carved and
polished furnishings of the home;
they cradle the young and coffin the
dead.
Trees are natures prime sources of
food; their fruits and nuts gave sus-
tenance to the first tribes OF men and
are the sweetest and most nourishing
Of the earth's products.
Trees herald the spring with glor-
ious banners Of leaf and bloom; they
clothe the autumn in garments of
gold and royal purplej barred to the
winters cold, they are the harp Of the
winds, and they whisper the music Of
the infinite spaces.

DON'T LET BABY CHICKS EAT
ONE ANOTHER.

"Cannibalism' is a bad habit that
gets started in a flock Of chicks, until
many chicks are so bothered and
chewed at that they die.
One chick in picking may accident
ally or otherwise get a grip on the
bright little toe Of his fellow and pull
If he is persistent and most of the
chicks are, the delicate little nail COW

atelt starts the other chicks picking

little chance for his life.
II cannibalism is unrestrained the
mortality in a pen is liable to climb

Of this habit from getting foothold In

sential steps in successful chick rails

timo they will go back to the land, and
this is very natural, praiseworthy
ideal, for under right conditions the
country is the best place In TIE world
In which TO live. But unfortunately
hundreds Of city people try to put this
ideal into practice, not realizing that
1. is impossible now to succeed at
farming without the training and ex-
perience required for any other pro-
fession or trade, with the result that
many of them lose their savings OF
years. There was a time when a crop
would grow with very little care or at
tention. The early settlers girdled the
trees and sowed their corn in the fer
tile soil around the tree, and with little
cultivation or care it produced an
abundant harvest. But tho fertility
OF the soil has been to a certain ex-
tent depleted, and consumers have had
the benefit in the past of the low
prices of food which have existed. 1t
now takes on most farm land, espe-
cially in the East, heavy applications
Of plant food to grow a crop. and this.
of course, must add to the cost Of pro-
duction Of the crop, and because many
Of these crops are fed to cows, It adds
also to the cost of milk.
Bugs Have Multiplied.
Another thing which has increased
the price Of food has been the fact
that the older the country grows In
agriculture the more natural enemies
will the farmer have to fight. These
enemies may be either weeds, plant
insects, or plant and animal diseases.
The older farmers can remember when
there were no potato bugs and when
there was no blight that attacks po-
tatoes. Now It takes a large amount
