TEACHING CHICKS TO RooST
Difficult to Keep Young Fowls Clean
When Permitted to Remain
on the Floor.

It is often advisable to teach the
chicks to rooSt when 8 to II weeks
Of age, say poultry specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. When they are allowed to remain
on the floor, it is difficult to keep them
clean and to keep them from crowding.
IF wide roosts-3 to inches-are used,
there is but littlea If any, more danger
of crooked breasts thar IL the chicks
are allowed to remain on the floor.
The chicks can generally be taught
to roost by putting the perches near
the floor, but If this plan Is inconven-
lent or does not prove effective the
chicks may be placed on the perches
after dark for few nights until they
have learned to go there OF their own
accord. Where a large number Of
chicks are brooded together around a
brooder stove it is a good plan to
place rOOsts in the house when the
chicks are four to five weeks old, so
that the larger and stronger chicks
will start using the roosts while the
weaker chicks still stay around the
brooder hover.

DOUIIRI NOIE(

Don't see how many chicks you can
hatch out, but rather how many you
can raise at profit.
Keep the poultry, as well as all other
living things on the farm, on good
terms with you by keeping on good
terms with them.
There is mighty little money in
fowls that are always kept hungry,
but there is also a difference between
weIl-fed and overfed hens.
Don't try to see how many fowls you
can keep, but how well you can keep
them. Don't overcrowd your houses
or yards; crowding is dangerous.
Blythe way, don't forget about lice.
Sometimes they are hard to find, but
It is ten chances to one that they are
present and they should be exter-
minated Immediately.

A man with weak blood has not the

LIQUID MANURE is VALUABLE
Carefully Preserved and Used
for Improving Crops.

The liquid excrement from farm
animals contains nearly half the nj
trogen and potassium voided by them
and should be carefully preserved.
When steers are fed ON cement floors
the value Of the manure produced is
more than 81 per year greater for each
animal than when fed On earth floors.
Open barnyard manure is about one
half as valuable as stall manure. The
least amount of nitrogen will be lost
from stored manure if animals are
kept on it Or it is kept in a moist,
we'll packed condition. Manure used
in connection with continuous crop
pings will not maintain the maximum
yield, but when used in connection
with crop rotation it increases the
yield of all crops grown in that rota-
ton. Manure used in conjunction with
a complete fertilizer high in phos-
phorus will give better returns than
when either is used alone.

PREPARING MARKET POULTRY
Fowls Should Not Be Given Any Hard
Feed From Eighteen to Twenty
four Hours Before Killing.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture0
Poultry should be kept without any
hard feed from eighteen to twenty-four
hours before killing, but light meal
of soft feed. can be given up to twelve
hours before killing. Water should be
given them up to time for killing, say
poultry Specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. When
ready to kill, suspend the fowl by the
legs and, using a knife, cut the vein
at the back of the throat through the
mouth. AS soon as this vein is cut
run the point of the knife through the
roof of the mouth into the brain ans
give the knife slight turn, which
causes the bird to lose all sense Of feel
ing.
In most markets dry-picked birds are
preferred. Immediately after killing.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation. send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton,O N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

The Ripple was chartered and fitted
out at Pier 3. Under command of
Captain Carmichael she also car
r1es Captains Nordstrom and M. Ruy-
grok, both experienced ''deep sea-
officers, these latter being the wreck
ing masters who will have charge of
the salvage operations. The trawler
carries wireless and a crew Of 25, in
Guiding three divers, one Of whom is
Frank Chilly, who was chief diver in
the salvage work of raising the United
States naval submarine E-4, which
sank Off Waikiki beach, Honolulu, in
| 300 feet of water. Chilly has worked
at greater depths than any other
diver has ever done, and with the
Merida lying in 35 fathoms, and with
her position known, he expects the sal
wage expedition to be successful. @
The men behind the treasure hunt
ing cruise of the Ripple, while they
have faith enough in the practicability
Of the expedition to lend it their
backing, do not regard success as a
foregone conclusion. They look upon
it as a chance, but one we'll worth
taking, since if so well-equipped and
managed an expedition fails it will
prove once for all that the rich bull
lion Of the Merida is beyond all re-
covery.
Expedition Kept Secret.
Because they regard it as a chance
expedition; they have so far kept their
intentions secret.
Among the men who are backing the
expedition are said to be Converse f.
West of Al Beaver street and L. F.
Gotham Of 10 Park row, who are
reported to have taken up the ex-
petition as personal and private ven
ture.
The trawler Ripple, although per
haps lacking the piraticaI air that
good treasure hunting ship should pos
sess, makes up in stOutness Of appear
ance what she lacks in adventurous
mien. She was built in 1910 at Fort
River, Mass, for A. Elder & Co., at
Boston, and at the outbreak of the
war was taken over by the navy for
use as a mine sweeper. She measures
a trifie over ia feet in length and
has a beam Of % feet 5 inches and
draft of II feet 6 inches. Her decks
are Uttered with salvage gear. On
the starboard side forward is dashed
specially built air compressor and
large reserve tank to supply air to
the divers, and on the port side she
carries a 28-foot motor boat to be
used as an auxiliary.
Among the crew is Tommy Jonkers,
DrotagOnist in William McFee's Gas
uals of the Sea-" and Tommy is
tricked out in the uniform of second
mate, an old job to him.
But despite Tommy's high place in
literature he is as uncOmmunicative
as the Sphinx concerning the cruise
Of the Ripple. He meets all questions
with a blank smile. whats that
gear for, Tommy" Tommy smiles
grimly. ''What time does the Ripple
sail, Tommy" Not word in reply.
And then in a sudden burst of COM
passion Tommy says: 'Ask Captain
Carmichael L don't know a thing
about it. Ask him." AS a news source
Tommy is a notorious failure.
Although at the time of the sinking
of the Merida the treasure in her
holds was reported to be worth $2OOO,-
600, Mr.. West said that this valuation
was in Mexican dollars, and that in
fact the actual value at present was
probably less.

names, the bulletin gives the common
names by which the various diseases
are known. A convenient arrange

while the birds are still bleeding, the
picker should remove the feathers, be-
ing careful not to tear the skin. II
the picker waits until the bird is partly
cold, the feathers will be difficult to re-
move. AS soon as picked the fowls
should be hung in a cool place until
thoroughly cold. If the weather is
warm and fowls are to be packed III
ice where no cold storage is available,
they, should be placed in a tank Of ice
water until all the animal heat has left
the body.
When birds are scalded before re-
moving the feathers they are immersed
in hot water, which should be a little
below the boiling point, as soon as they
are through bleeding. They should
be immersed three or four times and
then picked clean. Be careful not to
overscald, as this will cause the outer
surface of the skin to rub off. If fowls
are to be shipped dry, they should be
hung up until the skin becomes thor
oughly dry. If they are to be packed
in ice, they should be left in cold wa
ter several hours or until they are to
be packed.

moment the steamer listed on her side
and wallowed in the heavy swell.
The Admiral Farragut of the Amer
lean Mail Steamship line had rammed
her amidships, shearing a hole in her
side big enough for tugboat to enter,
and now the two ships lay locked in a
deadly embrace.
Wireless Calls for Help.
The Merida's wireless set was
smashed, and she lay helpless and
mute, but the Farragut backed away
in the fog and began to lower awav
boats. Although the Farragut had a
long ragged hole in her bow, her bulk
heads held and she was able to send
out wireless calls for assistance while
her boats were being lowered to take
off the passengers of the sinking
Merida. Captain Robertson spoke
words Of encouragement to the pas
sengers, who ran about the decks
overcome with fright, and only half
clad. But the captains calm voice re-
stored order, and ifeboats were low
cred in drill-like fashion, while he su-
perintended the launching and told
them the Merida would not sink for
several hours.
The accident took place not long
after. the famous Republic-FlOrida dis
,aster, and Captain Robertson and
Chief Officer George w. Nordstrom
were anxious to get the passengers off
as promptly as possible without loss

officers finally left the ship with empty
hands at 5 20 O'Clock. twenty-five
minutes later there was a last gurgle
and whirl as the rammed ship nOsed
under and pitched to the bottom in
21O feet of water.
The passengers were picked up by
the Farragut, herself near sinking, and
later transferred to the Old Dominion
liner. Hamilton, which brought them
into New York with only the clothes
on their backs.
Captain Robertson has since died
and Captain NordstrOm, who was first
officer Of the treasure ship, is now the
only man who accurately knows the

on account of heavy weather and
partly because the navigatOrs did not

NEEDS OF GROWING ANIMALS
Pics Thrive Better on Ear Corn and
Green Alfalfa Than on Chopped
and Ground Feeds.

Ear corn and green alfalfa meet the
needs of growing pigs better, and at
less cost, than chopped alfalfa and
ground cob and cornmeal. The alfalfa
stems and cob meal are better suited
to the needs of sheep or cattle. They
can handle more fibrous, indigestible
matter than pigs.
