GIVE CHICKS SOUR
MILK, AND NO WATER

Over million and a quarter dollars
is lost annually in Ohio because poul-
try raisers do not feed sour milk in
place of water to growing chicks, ac-
cording to E. L. Dakan, poultry spec
ialist at the Ohio State University.
These figures are based on loss
of Is chicks, valued at 20 cents apiece,
on every farm in Ohio. Prof. Dakan
believes that the mortality is actually
even higher.
In view of this loss county farm bur-
eaus and the poultry department of the
Ohio State University are recommend
ing that no water whatever be given
to chicks until maturity. <
"The feeding of sour milk is almost
a specific remedy for white diarrhea,
leg weakness, cannibalism, and gapes,
which are the causes of heavy losses
in young flocks. The feeding of sour
milk stimulates rapid early growth.
The chicks are not susceptible to early
chick diseases and have enough vital
ity to resist them. 1t is impossible to
overfeed chicks on sour milk.
"Sour milk is preferred to sweet,
since it is apparently more palatable
and because it is impractical to keep
milk sweet for chicks under average
farm conditions. Changing from sweet
to sour is not good practice"

Relatives Of Congressman Draw Sal

A prettier or more complete case Of
mulcting taxpayers of this country
cannot be found than that disclosed
by the current annual report of the
clerk of the house of representatives.
Done by corporations or individuals
graft would be the only word which
could be used to fully describe the
system by which more than third
of the 435 members of the house of
representatives have one or more rel
atives on the house payroll as their
own clerks. stenographers or secre-
taries.
Two years ago the house members
voted themselves an increase from
$1,000 to $4,000 a year for clerk hire,
but specified that the names Of all
persons to whom this sum was paid
should be listed on the house payroll.
Previously members were able to
draw the $1,000. themselves and pay
as much or as little as they pleased
for their office help. It was a COM
mon practice for three. or four menu
bers, often from the same state, to
club together and hire a single clerk
costing them possibly $25 "a month
each and pocket the extra $141 a
months each themselves. NJ" 5 Ny
Under the new arrangement, it now
seems, about l66 house members pay
! their increased allowance not to
themselves, but to relatives.
Many Of these relatives, altho list
ed rs "clerk" or "stenographer,"
actually perform no service at all.
Some Of them do not even live in
Washington and have never been
there.
Representative John w. Summers
of Washington state, for instance,
has his son Paul d. Summers, listed
as q clerk at $12O month. Young
Summers is attending college on the
Pacific coast and the check is mailed
to him regularly there. .3

for each member is divided among

division is not infrequent--it hap
pens to be the general rule. 4s.
Not infrequently the larger share
goes to the members wife, son or
daughter and the smaller share to the
person who actually does the office
work. ~
Representative Frank Clark, OF
Florida, for instance, has his dangh-
ter, Miss Lucille Clark, on the pay
roll for $186.67 a month, or about
$4,000 a year, while practically all
his office routine is handled by a
