Growing chickens kept on II good
range may be given all their feed in n
hopper, mixing two parts by weight
of cracked corn with one part of
wheat, or equal parts OF cracked corn,
wheat, and oats in one hopper and the
dry mash for chickens in another.
The beef scrap may be left out OF
! the dry mash and fed in a separate
hopper, so that the chickens can cat
all of this feed they desire. If the
beef scrap is to be fed separately, II
Is advisable to wait until the chicks
are ten days old, although some poul-
trymen put the beef scraps before the
young chickens at the start without
bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always he supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alfalfa or clover, but the best place TO
raise chickens successfully is on a
good range where no extra green feed
is required. Where the chickens are
kept in small bare yards, fine char
coal, grit and oyster shell should be
kept before them all of the time, and
cracked or ground bone may be fed
J The bone is not necessary for chickens
that have a good range.

KEEP YOUNG CHICKS GROWING.

Every poultry raiser wants his
chicks to grow fast, whether he plans
to get them on an early market or to
develop profitable layers. Early hatch
ing is one OF the first steps in this di-
rcction, but the next, which is OF equal
importance, is proper feeding. Tn
doubtedly chickens will grow faster
when fed five times than when fed only
three times daily, hut it should be
borne in mind that more harm can be
done to the young chicks 10y overfeed-
ing than by undertaking. 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 care to
cat. Greater care must be exercised

HOUSING GROWING CHICKS.

Growing chicks should be provided
with a house that will give them
place to stay in bad weather and at
night. No particular style OF house is
recommended, but it should be so built
that it will provide ample ventilation,
dryness, sunlight, freedom from
draughts, and arranged so it can be
cleaned easily and frequently.
The lumber from piano and dry
goods boxes can be used in building
such a house, and when covered with
ordinary roofing paper to keep out the
rain. will make desirable quarters.
1t is suggested that the houses be
built on the colony plan, so they can
be moved from place to place, thus
providing the chicks with fresh
ground to range over. Elevating a
house six inches above the ground will
help to keep the floor dry, by means
of the circulation of air, and the
space under the house will also pro-
vide shade for the chicks.
In placing the chicks in their grow
ing house for thc'first time, it is best
to confinc them for several days by
erecting a temporary yard wherein
they can run for five or six days, until
they learn where to return when the
fence is removed and they are allow ID
their liberty. Care should be taken
not to crowd the chicks by placing too
many in any one house. When the
chickens cover the greater part of the
floor at night II is an indication that
they are too crowded. At such a time
they should be thinned out and placed

SYSTEMS OF FEEDING.

There are two systems in use for the
feeding of fowls, in one of which all
the feed is given dry and in the other
of which one or more of the daily feeds
consists of a moistened mash. For
convenience they may be termed the
"dry feed" and the mash" systems, al
though in the dry feed system a dry
mash is often fed. Dry feeding is used
by many where it is not convenient to
make and feed moistened mash. The
greatest advantages to be derived from
the dry system are the saving of labor
and the lessened danger Of bowel
trouble resulting from sloppy or soured
mashes.

Nipponese Seek Opportunity

Care for Excess PopuIa-
Observation-Disclosures Many.

Valparaiso, Dec. l3.-Efforts made
by Japanese to establish themselves
in Chile, particularly in the coal and
iron mining fields, are exciting con-
siderable interest. There Is also
talk of the opening up of fishing in
dustries in certain islands to the
south, in localities where Japanese
would have particularly good op-
portunities.
These activities awaken interest
because it is recognized here that
Japan is seeking opportunities in
South America for her excess pop
ulation. Already they have made
such progress in Peru. In Chile
also they are beginning this work,
and it has been said here that they
seek particularly situations that are
strong both from a strategic and in
dustrial standpoint, as for example,
Conception bay, where there are
many coal mines.
Certain newspapers in southern
Chile have been calling attention
to these activities. At the head of
Conception bay there are coal
mines on which, according to news
paper reports, japanese have &C
CURED an option. This option is
said to include the mines of Pilpilco,
for which an offer of sl80,000 has
been made. The Japanese syndicate,
it is reported, plans to develop the
coal industry at Conception and in
troduce modern machinery.
There is no law in Chile which
prevents the purchase Of property
by foreigners. 1t is pointed out
here that the negotiations above re-
ferred to may result In delivering to
Japan an important base for the de-
velopment of her influence in the
Pacific.
