plenty of light, pure air and sunshine,
and protect them from dampness and
storms of all kinds.
Chicks should never be crowded in
brood coops, for crowding will cause
them to become overheated, resulting
in improper growth and sometimes in
dead chicks
Sickness or disease usually starts
in unclean quarters, and in such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops
should be cleaned and sprayed once a
week, and clean shavings, chaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and if found they should be
gotten rid of at once Farmers Bull
letin ITO gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning. giving as large quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Kafir corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats. A supply of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty Of 1t
If they have free range, but if kept in
confinement. lawn grass, beet tops,
cabbage. lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
vided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When sour
milk can be obtained it should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
Is regarded better for them When
this is given the amount of beef scrap
in the dry mash may be reduced one
half. Plenty of fresh, clean water is
absolutely necessary, and in hot
weather it should be provided twice
daily in dishes that have been thor
oughly cleaned.
The bulletin emphasizes the impor-
lance of free range and shade for
growing chicks. They are necessary
If chicks are to grow rapidly and de-
velop into vigorous fowls. When
growing chicks have free range they
obtain quantities Of green feed, bugs,
worms and other things. therefore
they require less grain and are less
liable to sickness ind disease.

The chief essentials to the proper

THREE MASTERSARE.
TO TEACH ROCKIES.
McGraw, Jennings, and Burkett
Will Instruct Giants in
How to Hit.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Giant re-
cruits with batting ability will be
taught by three past masters in the
art of slugging the ball at San An
tonic this spring.
John McGraw, veteran manager.
and his able lieutenants, Hughie Jen-
nings and Jesse Burkett, make up a
trio that is rich in batting lore and
experience.
The batting records of these three
combined represent twenty-seven
years of hitting over the 300 mark in
the big show. What record! Bur
kett batted better than 800 for eleven
years, McGraw for nine and Jennings
for seven. OF the trio Burkett was
the mightiest and in 1895 he hit ABB,
mark that stands second only to
Hugh Duffy's .f3S in 1894. McGraw's
best batting average was 800 in 1899.
the year Ed Delehanty set the pace by
batting .4Os. jennings did his best
batting in 1896 when he slammed the
spheroid to the tune OF .397.
Batters of the present day who set
the pace for major league club swing
ers are brilliant performers who have
combined natural ability with long
seasons of studying the deliveries of
pitchers and the best methods OF hit
ting them. But in McGraw, Jennings
and Burkett the Giants are fortified
with a trio of students of the art of
batting whose experience dates away
back to the Baltimore Orioles of the
rugged old days o, pastiming.
Hence, the Giant youngster who
heeds the advice of these three great
tutors will have a chance in one pc
riod of spring training to learn the
best of what his mentors have learn
ed over a stretch or thirty years and
more. What a chance for the young
sters!
But batting Is not the only depart
ment of the pastime in which McGraw
and his assistants are stepped In
knowledge McGraw in the old days
was an infielder, playing most of the
time at third base. Jennings was
shortstop of unusual brilliance and
Burkett though he first came to the
Giants as pitcher in 1890 was con-
verted into an outfielder because he
lacked control of his southpaw shoots.
And the switch from the pitching
mound to the outfield was the best
thing that could have happened to
Jesse, as his batting record shows
Figuring that McGraw and Jen-
nings are both graduates of the lid
Ned Hanlon school, 1t can be said
that II the Giants step out and win

GUTENBERG, Iowa, Feb. 27.-
When the Chicago White Sox begin
practice at Waxahachie. Tex, p. Jor-
gensen. superintendent of schools
here. will be with the squad as a re.
cruit pitcher.
In the summer OF 1919 Jorgensen
pitched for the AckIey, Iowa, team
and had a good season. Last year. as
a member of a semi prof ssional team
in Kimballton. he helped his team de-
feat some of the best clubs in Iowa.
1t was at this time that the baseball
scouts discovered what they thought
would be a ''find."
The Milwaukee club, of the Ameri-
can Association, tried to induce Jor-
gensen to sign a contract, but he de-
clined the offer. and the fall of that
year he returned to Gutenberg and
resumed his teaching. The spring of
1920 Jorgensen was appointed super
intendeht CO the public schools.
Jorgensen throws right handed, but
at the plate he bats either right or
left handed. His batting average for
last season was near the 400 mark.
He is fivc feet nine inches tall and
weighs 155 pounds.
The baseball bug started buzzing in
Jorgensen's ear when he was very
young. His first baseball was played
while a member of a kid nine at Lusk,
Wis. Later he came to Kimballton,
Iowa, his home town. where he was
manager of the club for two seasons.
