WHY
Certain Styles of Automobiles
Are Called "Sedans"

In France there is a town called
Sedan, where a wonderful carrying
chair, is said to have originated.
The chair, serving as vehicle for
one person, who sits within the in
closure of royal draperies, was car
ried by chair bearers and was con-
sidered quite the thing for the stylish
ladies of the time.
They were first introduced in west
ern Europe in 1851, but did not be-
come common as carriers for the So
cial elite of England and France I'M
til the eighteenth century. They
were deliberately decorated, often with
paintings and panels by artists OF
note, and lined with elegant silks and
padded with perfumed cloth.
The chairs, because of the supposed
origination in Sedan and because they
were often lined with famous Sedan
cloth, soon acquired the name of Sc
dan chairs.
Sedan chairs soon became thick on
London streets and Paris boulevards,
and remained the fashion until their
position was usurped by the victorias
and the pranciIfg horses of the courts.
Then came the automobile and some
advertising writer had the happy idea
of calling a model of similar construc-
ton Il sedan.
And sedan it still is Exchange.

prepared by the United States Depart

The care Of growing chicks, especial
lyl during warm weather, is most i'm
pdrtant, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Every boy or girl member of a poul-
try club should give them the best
Of attention if success is to be had.
The baby chicks may be smart little
fellows from strong, vigorous parent
stock, and they may have been brood
ed carefully for the first two or three
weeks, but unless they receive proper
care and management during their
later growing period they will not
develop properly, and many of them
will be lost through disease or sick
ness. The chief essentials to proper
growth are good coops or houses,
cleanliness, proper feed and water,
shade, and free range.
Every coop or poultry house used
for growing chicks should be kept
clean at all times. Sickness or disease
starts usually in unclean quarters, and
in such places lice and mites are al

ways more plentiful. Coops and
houses should be cleaned and sprayed
once a week. and clean sh1vings, chaff,
or sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and if found they should be got
rid of at once by following the direc-
lions in Department Circular 16, Lice,

Department of Agriculture.
A variety of feeds, with fresh, clean
water, is necessary if chicks are to
grow properly. Perhaps the three
most necessary for rapid growth are
grain feed, green feed and dry mash.
Poultry specialists Of the department
say that in addition to the green feed
and dry mash, which should be pro-
vided regularly, grain mixture
should be fed night and morning, CIV
ing as large a quantity as the chicks
will eat clean, but no more, A good
grain mixture for growing chicks con-
sists of three parts cracked corn, two
parts wheat, and two parts hulled
oats. When available, kafir or rolled
or hulled barley may be substituted
for hulled oats. In localities where
hulled oats, kafir, or rolled barley can
hn oh +no .ix n
mixture of cracked corn and wheat
only may be fed until the chicks are
old enough to eat whole oats, when
two parts may be added to the corn
and wheat mixture.
A reasonable supply of fresh green
feed is almost as necessary as grain
for growing chicks. If allowed liber-
ty they will get much of it for them
selves, but if confined or if in quar-
tiers where green feed is not abun-
dant it should be supplied regularly.
Lawn grass beet tops, cabbage and
lettuce are excellent feeds When
chicks are confined to brood coops
with runs, they should be placed on
ground where the grass is green and
tender, and as fast as it is eaten off,
the coop and run should be moved to
a place where the grass is plentiful.
In addition to green feeds and grain,
dry mash should be kept before grow
ing chicks at all times after they are
three or four weeks old. 1t is best to
feed it in hopper inside the build
ing, or where it will not be exposed to
rain or wet. Here is a good dry mash
mixture: Two pounds corn meal, two
pounds middlings, one pound oat-
meal, two pounds wheat bran, one
pound beef scrap and one-fourth
pound charcoal. Grit and oyster shell
also should be provided.

Why Astronomers Need Enthusiasm.

SMALL FLOCK IN BACK YARD
Two Hens for Each Member of Fam

Poultry Specialists.

The average novice can reasonably
expect to get an average of at least
10 dozen eggs per hen per year from
his small flock in the back yard on
the basis of two hens to each men,
Der of the family this will give 20
dozen eggs a year to each person,
which amount is about halfway be-
tween the average Of farm and city
consumption. No backyard poultry
keeper should be satisfied with less
than this, say poultry specialists Of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. Every backyard poultry
keeper should try to get as much
more as possible. To provide an egg
a day for each person, two hens would
have to lay 1873 eggs each a year.
