FEED YOUNG CHICKS
OFTEN AND SPARINGLY
,ga S ARE GOOD RULES

Young chicks should be fed little
mt d time and often. They should
be fed early In the morning and just
before going to bed" at night, and
not less than two times in the In.
tervening period. For the first two
weeks they may be fed three meals
Of soft feed and two of hard, and
after that age two soft and three OF
hard, feeding less soft feed as they
grow older ser g ,A d@sn
No more moistened soft feed should
be given at one time than they will
eat up clean. Poultry specialists in
the United States department of .ag-
riculture say II any feed is left 1t
should be removed or it will grow
sour and cause bowel looseness and
dysentery. The finely cracked grains
may safely be used from the start.
but the chicks do not as rule grow
as rapidly as when part OF the feed
Is ground. When the chicks are from
four to six weeks old the frequency
of feeding may be decreased to three
times a day.
From the very first chicks should
be induced to exercise: activity is Q
prime factor in promoting health and
growth. Feed grain in the litter, and
make them scratch for 1t. A little
flne chan or finely cut clover makes
good litter.

Raise In Cattle
Predicted; Hogs
Reach New Level

With the supply of feed somewhat
less this spring than usual and with
prevailing sentiment favoring re-
stocking in the range rather than
further depletion OF range herds.
those in close touch with the market
situation predict an advance in cat
tie prices during April and May. The
rat cattle market has continued weak
but this has not discouraged feeders
Prices last week for choice, prime
heavy steers ranged from $3.50 to
$10.75; common heavy steers, So to
$3.50; light steers, $3.50 to $40;
light veals, 50 to $l2.25, and com
mon feeders, $3.50 to 1915.
Hogs FIuctuate.
The hog market was uncertain all
last week. Early in the week there
was sharp break of more than 81,
followed by a speedy rise to $11.75,
new top price at Chicago. The ton
price was $11.75, with prices ranging
down to $3.50 on rough packing sows
Light hogs were quoted at $40 to
$11.6O. while heavies were from 1878
to 1885,
Wheat Uncertain.
The wheat market fluctuated con-
siderably during the week. Reports
early in the week that cold snaps
had seriously injured fall wheat gave
1t all upward boost, but growing con
fidence that little IL any damage was
done by the cold wave led to down
ward turns in the price.
Feeds WeaSen.
Feed prices have again weakened,
with Chicago prices on bran at 1927
and middlings. $26.
Demand for hay has brOadened,
with prices somewhat uncertain.
Timothy Is quoted at $24 to $26 in
Chicago; alfalfa, SIG to $24, and
wheat straw, $12 to $40.
Egg markets have continued weak,
with prices to the farmer varying
from So to 81 a case.
Little change was noted in the po
tatO market during the week. There
is big demand for seed stock from
the middle western states, but the
acreage in the south has been re-
duced. Idaho shipping points quote
potatoes 80 cents to 81.

crop, unless it Is carrots, that will
give SO much real food value to q
given area. - -.
Carrots should be planted just a
little later than beets, and as soon
thinned. A second thinning will leave
the plants one and half to two
inches apart in the row and give q
supply of small carrots.
A section OF row 20 to 80 feet long
generally will produce all the par
ships or satisfy that the average fam
lily will want. They are planted and
cultivated in the same manner as
carrots, only in the case of parsnips
they should stand fully three inches
apart in the row. Both parsnips
and satisfy may remain in the ground
until winter for use. s.
Turnips are adapted to growing In
the early springtime and late sum-
mer. While the relative value Of
turnips is low they produce SO enOr-
mously that a large amount Of food
can be obtained from limited area.
. While 1t Is true that too much
lettuce often is planted at one time,
not enough attention is given to
keeping continuous supply. Let
tuce plants grown in the hotbed or
cold frame, or in box In the
house, can be planted in the open
ground just as soon as the danger OF
the last frost Ia past.
Thousands of bushels Of wild dan
delions are gathered from the pas
lures and meadows for green's every
spring. Some gardeners cultivate
them, and get the finest quality for
salad by covering Them with light
coating Of fine straw which causes
the hearts of the plants to develop
into a cluster Of bleached and tender
leaves.
By making a study Of the different
kinds Of salad crops one can easily
have continuous supply from the
earliest springtime until the late au-
tumn, and even into the winter.

Where garden space is limited
plant root and salad crops. No gar.
den, large or small, is completes with
out them, but they are particularly
adapted to small backyard gardens.
Among the root crops are radishes
beets. carrots. parsnins. satisfy or
vegetable oyster, and tnruips. Salad
crops include lettuce, common or wild
cress and others. They require little
space because they can be planted In
rows from IL to IS inches apart, and
cultivated with hand tools. Many
gardeners make only one planting oil
these cr0ps.> but specialists suggest
that several paintings. of some OF
them be made q week or so apart in
order to have a succession Of those
vegetables. a1fg aoN K
Radishes are one OF the first and
best vegetables in spring. They
should be planted as early as pos
sible, whether for market or home
use. The small turnip-rooted varie.
ties will mature In Is to 20 days.
Other varieties, as the lady finger,
which are long and slender, are best
for later use but the seed should be
planted early. sf
Food Value In Beets.
Beets are one of the most impor.
tant crops for the home garden. Seed
can be planted just as soon as the
soil Is In condition to work. When
the plants crowd one another in the
row, thin them out when they are
young, and cook them as green's.
Later( when they are about an inch
in diameter, both leaf-stems and
young beets can be cooked together.
When the beets are larger the leaf
stems become tough and woody. As
q rule two paintings should be made,
one extremely early and another In
about four weeks. Crosby's Egypt.
ian and Detroit Red are leading
American varieties. On rich soil
garden beets win make an enormous
yield. There is perhaps no other

FARM MANAGEMENT
SCHOOL A SUCCESS
Many Women Attend t.

Record Accounts.

That women are vitality interested
in all the farm problems was dem.
onstrated at the recent farm man.
agement schools held by the exten.

Among the I'll farmers in attend.
ance at the schools, were 81 women.
Twenty-Five one-day farm manage
ment schools were held In connection
with the farm bureau of Spokane,
Pierce. kittitas, Walla Walla and
Columbia counties, under the direc-
tion of R. n. Miller, extension spe-
cialist
Accounts for farmers may be d.
vided into three general groups:
The farm record. the enterprise cost
accounts and complete cost ac-
counts.
Complete cost accounts mean that
the farmer must account for every
hour of his labor on the farm, be-
cause of the complexity Of the farm
business this ordinarily is not used,
although these records would be Of
great Importance to producers.
Enterprise cost accounts mean that
the farmer undertakes to figure the
cost of producing one item. For ex.
ample, the cost of growing a field OF
wheat, the cost of producing butter
fat, etc. The enterprise cost &C.
counts are used in connection with
the regular farm Records
The farm record is the least rec
ord that farmer can keep to show

STAND BY THE STANDBY

No gardener should be misled by
highly colored and much-advertised
novelties, or unfamiliar varieties OF
vegetables. Some of them may be
good, but it is better to stick to the
standard, well-known, and approved
varieties. Many varieties of Ger.
tain vegetable may be listed in the
catalogue, but only few may be
suited to your particular soil, eli
mate, or needs. Ii in doubt about
what to plant, consult your state
college of agriculture, the United
States department Of agriculture the
local county agent, or some expert
enced gardened in the neighborhood.
Carefully figure the varieties and
amount of seed required; place or.
ders before the best stocks of the
seed firms are exhausted. Usually 1t
Is advisable to purchase seed from

MODERN POULTRY
PAYS BIG RETURNS
Chickens Give Quick, Certain
Returns; Use of Products
Increasing.

Government statistics show durino
the last six years decrease Of 50
per cent in the number Of beef ami.
mails, and a corresponding increase
IN the consumption Of poultry and
eggs, according to T. n. Bowie, OF
the Inland Seed company Of Spokane.
Mr.. Bowie 10 an ardent poultry en-.
thusiast and an advocator Of mod.
ern methods and equipment in
poultry production.
Good hens pay better today than
ever. No business investment pays
quicker or more certal> returns"
said Mr.. Bowie. with the dimin-
ishing supply of beef reported by the
government statisticians, the de-
mand for poultry and eggs is grow.
ing rapidly. A bright outlook is in
prospect for the poultry producer for
many years to come.
New Methods Successful.
New methods, new ideas in
equipment, in housing, in feeding and
in poultry management all bring
success. One of the most important
items of poultry equipment is the
incubator. Poultrymen have long
since decided that hen is more
profitable when laying than when
sitting or raising brood. The in
cubator has become indispensable to
the pOultryman or farmer who seeks
the answer to the problem of hatch
ing chicks which develop into winter
layers.
"A large number Of Inland Empire
farmers are using incubators this
year for turkey eggs. Turkeys have
been 20 high for the last few years
that many people have forgotten the
taste, but it is probable that farm
ers will be able to talk turkey this
fall.
"The hot water incubator is being
adopted by large number of poul.
trymen as one of the most efficient
types. The circulating hot water
system insures uniform heat. Cali
fornia redwood, which will not alb
sorb moisture or odor from Matching
eggs, and which will not split or
warp, Is one of the best types Of
woods used in incubator construc-
ton.
Requires Little Time.
Very little time is required to
handle eggs in some of the popular
brands of hot water incubatOrs.
Eggs must be turned twice each
day and cooled once day. Five
minutes day are required for
cooling the eggs the frs: week, 10
minutes a day the second week, Is
minutes a day the third week and
up until the 18th day, then maintain
the proper temperature till the chicks
are Matched. While the operator Is
cooling the eggs, he can test a few
eggs in the tray and thus keep in
touch with the evaporation. An egg
contains 80 per cent water and 20
per cent Of the water contents must
be evaporated. Water evaporation in
the egg does not come out as water,
but as gas known as dioxide.. In
cubation is a simple, interesting and
profitable science and no operator
has any excuse for failure II proper
attention Is paid to instructions"
