CAREFUL IN FEEDING CHICKS
Little Fellows Will Grow More Rap
idly IL Fed Five Times Daily
IL II Is Done Right.

Young chickens should be fed from
three to five times daily, depending
upon ones experience in feeding, says
the United States department Of agri-
culture. Undoubtedly chickens can
be grown faster by feeding five times
daily than by feeding three times
daily, it should be borne in mind that
more harm can be done TO the young
chickens by overlooking than by I'M
derfeeding, and at no time should they
be fed more than barely to satisfy
their appetites md to keep them ex-
ercising, except at the evening or last
meal. when thev should be given all
they will eat. Greater care must be
exercised not to overfeed young
chicks that are confined than those
that have free range, as leg weakness
Is apt to result in those confined.

ERADICATION OF SHEEP ScAB
Comparatively Easy to Reduce Infee-
ton to Point Where 1t Ceases
to Cause Big Loss.

With our present knowledge of ana
experience in sheep-scab eradication
work 1t is comparatively easy to re-
duce the infection to a point where it
ceases to cause economic loss, but the
complete eradication of the parasite
over such vast areas is a problem re-
Quiring patience and diligence. Where
the eradication work is supervised by
a weIl-Organized force Of trained field
men. the percentage Of infected fiocks
can be reduced very rapidly until it
reaches a fraction Of I per cent; but
to reduce that fraction to zero re-
quires very careful and systematic
work, with the full cooperation of the
sheep owners. AS soon as the disease
is reduced to point where the eco
nemic loss is little or nothing, many
sheep owners lose sight of the i'm
pOrtance of continuing systematic eff
forts for complete eradication. 1t Is
necessary. however, for the protection
Of the sheep industry that the efforts
be continued until the pest is COM
pletely eradicated.

MEASURING PRICES OF HOGS
Form of Applied Mathematics Used by
Department of Agriculture in
Keeping Records.

Measuring the prices Of a hog in
bushels of corn. instead of in dollars,
is form Of applied mathematics used
by the United States department of
agriculture in keeping tab on prices
of farm products. Theoretically 100
pounds Of live hogs should be worth
about Is bushels Of corn. The rate
varies. 1t is generally highest in the
corn belt and lowest in New England.
the far South. and the far West. At
the present time the ratio is unusual
iy narrOw-fhat is. 100 pounds of
hogs is not worth as many bushels of
corn as usual. The department draws
the inference that during the next II
months hogs will advance more than
corn or corn will decline more than
hogs.

that are to raise the next crop Of

do not ordinarily breed well nor keep

DESTROY POISON IVY

Exercise Proper Care While

Fer Killing Vines on Fence Posts and
Trees Cut Plant Below Surface and
Then saturate Soil With
Strong Salt Brine.

The work Of eradicating poison ivy
or poison sumac may be undertaken
In the late fall or early spring. with
the least danger OF poisoning. It Is
usually possible to find persons who
are not easily poisoned by ivy or su-
mac who can be employed to remove
the plants. but with the exercise Of
proper care almost anyone may under
take the work without mourning in
jury.
OveraIls and heavy gauntieted
gloves should be worn for protection
while engaged in the work. Care
should be taken In handling shoes and
all articles of clothing that have come
in contact with the plants, as the pol
son adheres to them and may make
them a possible source Of harm for an
indefinite period.
The parts Of the plants above
ground are readily killed by spraying
with strong brine g pounds Of salt
to a gallon Of water). but additional
sprayings are necessary to kill the
stocks. A better method. especially
for killing vines on fence posts and
on trees, is TO cut the poison Ivy be-
low the ground and then saturate the
soil around the cut bases Of the plants
with salt brine.

where entry or landing is not intend
