chicks do not have so much exercise.
Then, too, in most broods there are
one or two chicks that are weaker
than the others, and if the hen is al
lowed free range the weaker ones
often get behind and out of hearing
of the mothers cluck and call. In
most cases this results in the loss
and death of these chicks, due to be-
coming chilled If the hen is con-
fined the weaklings can always find
shelter and heat under her, and aftet
a few days may develop into strong,
healthy chicks.
The loss in young chicks due to
allowing the hen free range is I'M
doubtedly large. Chickens frequent
ly have to be caught and put into
their coops during sudden storms, as
they are apt to huddle in some hole
or corner where they get chilled or
drowned. They must be kept grow
ing constantly if the best results are
to be obtained, as they never entire
ly recover from checks in their
growth, even for short period. Hens
are usually left with their young
chicks as long as they will brood
them. while some hens frequently
commence to lay before the chickens
are Weaned.

seems to have a good appetite. What
is the trouble, and is there any way to
prevent it?
Your mule is suffering from a more
or less chronic form of indigestion.
The symptoms you give indicate this
very clearly as the cause Of the trou-
BILE. In such a case, the first thing
to do is to begin with the feed. Ex-
anime it very carefully and see that
it is in such condition as to meet
the requirements Of the animal; thai
is, it must be free from mold, dust
or dirt. You should be sure that the
water supply is not contaminated
Next, determine if the teeth are in
good condition. Sometimes indiges-
ton is caused by ravenous feeding.
In that event, the trouble can best
be controlled by giving the feed in
a form which will require the animal
to masticate it thoroughly and eat
it slowly.
A good mixture to use in cases
such as you describe is the follow
ing: TcEe baking soda, powdered
ginger and powdered gentian Mix
them together in equal parts and
then give a he2ping teaspoonfu1 as
a dose twice a day before feeding.
The medicine is best administered
as a drench by dissolving it in a
half-pint of lukewarm water. a
good digestive tonic for use in such

FELL TO RO0SEvELT'S SPEAR
Big Devilfish a Victim Of the Colonies
Love Of Sport, Either on
Sea or Land.

The fame of the late Col. Theodore
Roosevelt as big-game hunter is well
known. but he was equally as adept at
killing big fish of the sea, according to
Russell ]. Coles, noted big-fish killer
Attracted by one Of Coles articles
about killing the devilfish, the colonel
appealed to him for instruction in the
art. After taking several land lessons.
using rpear with which he saw an
African kill lion, he finally became
expert, and Mr.. Coles formed a party
to hunt the devilfish off the coast Of
Florida, in Punta Gorda, March 25,
1917. There the colonel killed his first
devilfish. hitting the huge creature
which weighed many tons. just two
inches from the spot indicated on
drawing by Coles. and driving the
spear two feet four inches through the
heaviest and boniest structure of the
fish. The colonel was standing on the
cab of a small boat travelling nine miles
an hour, and the fish was coming to-
ward the boat at the rate of Is or IS
miles an hour, swimming about four
or six feet under water. Had the
colonel missed his aim the fish would
have been able, with one of its side
fms. to upset the boat and drown the
fishermen. An hour after his FIRST
catch the colonel killed second devil
fish, which was the second largest
devilfish ever killed. Mr.. Coles is a
scientist who has hunted devilfish for
more than 20 years.

some of the latter followed him from
Ireland to the island of Iona. There
was, In proof of the love Of animals
