BEST FEED FOR BABY CHICK
Careful Feeding Necessary in Order Not to Upset Digestion or
 to Check Growth.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 | Baby chicks should not be fed for l from 24 to 36 hours after matching, until the third day. The yolk of the | egg which is absorbed by the chick when matching furnishes all the nour- ishment required during that time. After the third day they should be fed l four or five times daily for the first | week or ten days, but they should he given only what they will eat up clean i each time. Overfeeding will do more harm than underfeeding. Greater care must be used not to Overfeed young chicks that are confined than those that have free range, as leg weakness Is apt to result in those confined. The first feed should consist of jOhnnycake or bard-boiled eggs mixed with stale-bread crumbs or pinhead oatmeal, using a sufficient amount of the latter to make dry, crumbly mix ture. These feeds or combinations of feeds may be used with good results for the first week; then gradually sub stitute for one or two feeds daily a mixture of equal parts of finely cracked wheat, cracked corn, and pin head oatmeal or hulled oats, to which may be added a small quantity of broken rice, millet rapeseed, and char coal, if obtainable. This mixture makes an ideal ration, say poultry spe- cialists in the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. If corn cannot be had, cracked kafir corn, rolled or hulled barley may be substituted. A commercial chick feed containing a variety of grains may be used instead, if desired, and can be bought from most feed dealers.
 How to Make Johnnycake.
 Corn meal, 5 pounds.
 1nfertile eggs (tested out from sittings or from an incubator), 6.
 Baking soda, 1 tablespoonful.
 Mix with milk to make a stiff batter and bake thoroughly. Note. - When inferti1e eggs are not available, use a double quantity of bak- ing soda and add one-ha1f pound of sifted meat scrap.
 When the chicks are from 10 to IA | days old a dry-growing mash com posed of the following should be | given: 2 parts, by weight, of bran. parts midd1ings. 1 part corn meal.
 1-2 part, 10 per cent, sifted meat scrap.
 When the chickens are or 10 weeks old, add l part of ground oats and in crease the meat scrap to l part. This

wholly at his ease. He acted as if the fear that men have instilled in his breed was somehow missing. And that is why she instinctively tried to hurry on the trail.
 The step kept pace. For a long mile, up a barren ridge, she heard every step 1t made. Then, as the brush closed deeper around her, she couldn't hear it at all.
 She hurried on, straining to the silence. No, the sound was stopped. Could 1t be that the animal, fearful at last, had turned from her trail? And then for the first time a gasp that was not greatly different from a de spairing sob caught at her throat. She heard the steps again. and they were in the thickets just beside her.

mash may be placed in a hopper,
 where 1t will not be wasted, and left before the chicks at all times.
 As soon as the chickens are old enough and will eat whole wheat, cracked corn, or other grains, the small-sized chick feed may be discon- tfnued and the 1arger-sized grains fed instead. In addition to the grain feed, they must be supplied with grit, oyster shell, and charcoal at all times, and the better way is to place these in a hopper, hanging 1t in a convenient place where the chicks may help them selves. If chicks are kept in confine- ment, they must be furnished a liberal supply of tender, green feed, like lawn clippings, lettuce leaves, and such other things as may be available
 Whenever possible, however, chicks should be given grass range, when they will supply their own green feed, catch bugs, worms, etc. Chicks that are allowed to run on a grass range are usually strong and thrifty and will grow much more rapidly than those that are kept in confinement. In addi- tion to other feeds, the chickens growth may be hastened considerably by giving them sour milk to drink. Chickens are very fond of milk in any form and will eat and drink a liberal supply of it. It may be fed either sweet or sour, but the latter is more desirable Sour milk will help to keep chickens healthy, and Is one of the best things that can be fed to promote rapid growth and development. When milk IS fed the amount of meat scrap in the mash may be reduced one-hah or left out entirely.

CONSTRUCTION OF GOOD ROAD
Careful Design and Best of Workm an- ship Required, Especially for
 the Foundation,

Every element of a modern road re- quires careful design and the best of workmanship. The foundation es- pecia1ly must be deep and substantial, and for this it would seem that the usual layer of crushed stone is entirely inadequate and unsuited. Underdrain- ing is also very important, but usually is laid out on theory rather than a con- sideration of actual conditions that vary every few yards. The surface is vitally important, for it should be ab- solutely smooth, as any initial fr- regularity forms starting point for disintegratfon under the trip hammer blows of a heavy truck wheel

 she heard the brush crushing and
 rustling as something passed through.
 Sometimes. when the trail was cov-
 cred with soft pine needles, 1t was
 practically indistinguishable.
 The animal was approximately one hundred feet behind. It wasn't a wolf, she thought The wolves ran in packs this season, and except in winter were more afraid of human beings than any other living creature. It wasn't lynx -One of those curioSity-devoured lit tie felines that will new all day on a trail and never dare come near. It was much too large for a lynx. The feet fell too so1fdly. There were no dogs in the mountains to follow at heel; and she had no desire whatever to meet Shag, the faithful hybrid that used to be her guardian in the hills. For Shag had gone to his well-de- served rest several seasons before. Two other possibilities remained. One was that this follower was a human being, the other that 1t was cougar.
 Ordinarily human being is much more potentially dangerous to a wom- an in tine hills at night than cougar. A cougar is an abject coward and some men are not. But Snowbird felt herself entirely capable of handling any human foes. They would have no advantage over her; they would have no purpose in killing from ambush; and she trusted to her own marks implicitly. While it is an eX- tremely difficult thing to shoot at a cougar leaping from the thicket, tall man standing on a trail presents an easy target Besides, she had a vague sense of discomfort that if this animal were a cougar, he wasn't acting true to form. He was altogether too bold.
 The animal on the trail behind her was taking no care at all to go silent ly. He was simply pft-patting along,

nia's highway system. The federal
 of California's highway concrete is
 inferior.
 California's concrete pavement is practically all four inches thick. The
 use of this thin slab which came in for so much condemnation in the first report, made it possible to give a large part of the state good highway serv- ice at a reasonable cost. The design was determined nearly ten years be- fore the heavy traffic came, so that, measured by results, the California commissions work appears to have been a success. Seventy per cent of the defective pavement occurs on clay and adobe soils, but large mileage of the same thin pavement on these ad- verse soils still remains in good condi- ton.
 The bureau found the four-inch slab inadequate (the commission itself has abandoned 1t in favor of a f1ve-inch reinfaced concrete design) and ad- vises that experimental sections be made on the unfavorable soils. It also finds that the three-eighths-inch carpet coat, famous in California, does not give a service commensurate with it's cost. .-
 Of interest in all parts of the coun- try is the bureaus finding that there is nothing presented by the entire California study which indicates that concrete is not a successful pavement Simple, Satisfactory methods for class flying sthe conditions of concrete roads have been developed from this study which will be found invaluable in classifying roads in other states.
