SET NOW FOR FALL CHICKS;
GULL AND SELL NON-LAYERS
Raise Chicks to Take the Place of
the Poor Layers; Fatten Be-
fore Selling.

Little as most people think about it,
this is an excellent time to set hens
for the fall chicks. All through the
winter the old chickens much be fed
with very few eggs result for the
expense. Why not put that feed into
growing chickens and have nice
bunch of summer pullets that will
supply eggs when they are high?
The old chickens make fine eating in
the fall when they have grown fat on
the loose grain about the farm. If
sold they are heavy and bring very
good prices per chicken. Marketing
and eating the old hens will beat feed
ing them several months with very
light egg returns. Better give the
feed to growing chickens.
The Division of Extension, Knoxville
has this to say on the question OF dis
posing of the poor layers:
At this time the poultry raiser should
begin putting on the market those
hens that have quit laying and gone
into general mott, according to Mrs.
Kate M. Wells, poultry specialist, Di-
vision of extension, University of Ten
nessee. If you have kept up the feed
ing program you followed during the
winter and spring your poorer layers
are now through and are beginning to
mott. Examine hens for body capa-
city, and if you find it small, you may
feel safe in selling them as soon as
possible. They will eat almost as
much feed as the hens that are still
laying, and you acnnot expect any re-.
turns in eggs from them till next
spring. So the sooner they are out OF
the flock the better. confne them TO.
a small yard and feed heavily for two
weeks on fattening ration and you
will realize good returns.
Fattening Ration.
A~sA GOOD summer fattening ration IS as
follows: 8 parts corn meal, 2 parts low
grade wheat -four, parts shorts.
Mix this with sour milk or butter
milk into sloppy mixture. Feed IN
troughs or pans all they will eat IN
half an hour. Remove any uneaten
feed and clean feed vessels. Two such
feelings a day with third iced OF
whole grains will put some good
weight on the hens. Through August
continue to Gull out and market the
non-layers, and when the middle OF
September comes you will be certain
to have left the best layers OF the year
that should go into the breeding pen
next spring.

HOUK DEFEATED FOR SENATE
BY HEAVY MAJORITY
Houk Lost Three of Four Counties;
Had Only 32l Majority in
Home County.

The race of |. o. Remine, of Louden
county, against John c. Houk, of Knox
county, excited considerable interest
over the state because Mr.. Houk had
been in the legislature several times
and always managed to stir up some
thing dirty that never reflected fav-
orably on him nor resulted in any ben
eft to the state.
1t will be remembered that he made
a viscious fight against the contirma-
tion of Capt. T. F. Peck as commis-
sioner of agriculture under Gov. A. A.
TAYLOR. Mr.. Houk went so far as to
state that if he did not show that
Capt. Peck had been guilty of wrong
actions and wastefullness of the pub
lie funds he would resign. Houk failed
miserably in his efforts to besmirch the
character of Capt. Peck and did not
resign as he proffered to do. The
whole thing was an utter failure SO
far as injury to Capt. Peck was con-
cerned, except it cost him considerable
money to defend himself and he was
kept out of the official appointment
for a few months.
When the contest came on between
Houk and Mr.. Remine, the friends OF
Capt. Peck in the four counties OF
Knox, Loudon, Monroe and Polk got
busy to lay Houk on the Slab" and
succeeded in a very substantial way.
Feeling sure that many Chronicle
readers in this county, where Capt.
Peck has many warm friends and ad-
Inirers. would be interested in konw-
ing Just how the vote stood, the editor
wrote Mr.. Remine for the vote and
give II herewith. The vote follows:
