Raising Baby Chicks

Dear Mrs. IhOmaS:
IT have just been reading your
article onchfcken san have cut it
out as directed. Now, / have a
favor to- ask Of you. am just
crazy to go into the poultry bust
ness and am getting ready to order
my chickens-day old chicks-and
want you to write an article on
how to care for chicks when they
arrive, now and what to feed, etc.
II guess you have written on this
subject before, but / didn't read
them, as L was not interested in
raising chickens. There are enough
Dc us in 1.-The beginners class" to
justify your telling the readers once
more how to care for day old chicks.
How can I prevent cholera and the
other diseases they are Liable to
have?
~ Yours truly,
. MRS. H. ]. T."
I am getting a number Of letters
from beginners in poultry culture
and I am pleased to find as many
men as women interested. The
slogan fifty hens, two cows a sow
and pigs and a garden is fine for
any community. Last weeks Pro-
gressive Farmer had a motto every
one of us should learn and begin to
live up to it. We may not find it
advisable to begin with as many
hens, for that is g. business one
must grow into. Here is the motto
with garden, co wand fifty hens
And hogs that Craze mot kept ip
pensC
The farms prosperity begins"
1 say every farm should have at
least two good COWS and timed so
that one young calf should come
each spring and fall. That guaran.
tees milk and butter all the time.
And AN acre of rye gives the calf
and hens winter greenstuff and is
fine place for the early corn and
peas soy beans or peanuts. Henry
w. Grady said, when every farmer
in the south shall eat bread from
his own fields and meat from his
own pasture, and disturbed by no
creditor and enslaved by no debt,
shall sit amid his teeming gardens
and orchards and vineyards and
daisies and barnyards, pitching his
crops in his own wisdom and grow
ing them in independence, making
cotton his clean surplus and selling
it in his own time, and in his chosen
market and not at masters bid
ding-getting his pay in cash and
not in receipted mortgage that
discharges his debt, but does not re-
store his freedom-tHen shall be the
breaking of the fullness of our day
The horizon seems reddening for
the day Mr.. Grady so earnestly de-.
sired. The past year was hard on
everybody, the rich had investments
tied up and the poor man had mort
cages or. stock to see go hungry If
the corn went on debts. But the
cows, hogs and hens made the fam
lily income if they were thrifty.
But this is not telling the ones ex-
pecting day-old chicks what to do
with them. Every basket of chicks
that leaves this farm fellows letter
written in time to let the purchaser
be ready for them.
Chicks can stand two days in a
nest made so they will not be bruised
by striking the sides Of the box or
basket.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW NJ. SOULE $50

Bunch lima beans, as you know. will
continue to produce throughout the
season, and If planted at the right
time blackeyed peas will yield a de-
sirable crop for long period of
time If you keep the beans picked
off as they ripen.
Weevils are best kept out of peas
after they are threshed by treating
them with carbon bisulphide. This is
a comparatively simple remedy and
not a costly one. You can secure
this material, with directions Tor it's
application, from any reliable drug
store. You might mix or z pounds
of air slaked lime with one pound
of Paris green as a dust spray on
Irish potatoes to control the Irish
potato bug.
A Method of Tanning Leather

In preparing hides for tanning
the first process they are put

blood and dirt. After the hides have
been thoroughly softened and clean
ed they must then be fleshed. This
consists in removing all fleshy and
fatted matter from the flesh side of
the hide. This can be done entire
Wy by hand with sharp knife if
one exercises sufficient patience. On
a commercial scale this work is now
done by machinery.
The next process is to put the
hide in vat containing milk of lime
to loosen the hair and epidermis.
Hides are then placed in what is
known as sweat pits or dark close
rooms where the air is stagnant.
This finally causes the hair to loosen
so it can be readily removed. Be-
fore hides can be tanned they must
be put in a defining bath Of Tactic
or other weak acids. Hides are then
picked by padding them for about

our HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS

They should be taken out OF the
basket in warm room and placed
in a box or some place free from
draughts and where they will not
chill. Fresh buttermilk or hard clab-
Der should be ready for them and
each little beak should be dipped in.
Don't let them wade in it, for chilling
will kill them. If one has only TWEEN
ty-five or thirty chicks, eggbread
cooked in the morning and allowed
to dry may be all one needs for a
day or so. But I advise buying hom-
my pearl grits) or oatmeal. A if
teen-cent box goes a long way and
is fed raw. The first week fresh
buttermilk, bread and grits is an
mine get. AS / have them from
now till in May I get eight or ten
pounds of baby chick feed and use
it constantly except that first week.
But one must not buy baby chick
feed and let it get musty. It will
certainly give bowel disease and it's
goodbye baby chickens.
Some people use boiled eggs and
various things. I do not condemn
what others have proved a success,
but I have raised a hundred and
ninety-fiye out of two hundred. 7
make it point to keep some out of
every hatch that send off SO as to
absolutely know how they thrive and
how they feather and what type they
display.
The first thing every morning is

give them anything sloppy and one
can soon tell the happy twitter from
the cheep that tells of discomfort,
Put baby chicks feet to your cheek
and if<they feel cold you must warm
something and wrap it up. If it's a
flock put them in their box with a
warm Cloth under their feet and
cover them. One must expect to
give time and thought to them. My
wood box is two feet wide, four long
and almost two feet deep. It has
started off many bunch. A cocus
sack in the corner nearest the stove
is carpet and cover. A block holds
the top of the bag over them where
I shut them in, feed vessels are
Scalded. The natural accumulation
of all kitchen wood boxes, so large
splinters will give them something to
scratch in and when the kitchen is
swept if there are chicks in the box
the dust pan is emptied in there.
When brood is put out the box is
aired and disinfected. I have never
had real brooder. Every year 4

EDon't put too many chicks to-
gether. Twenty-Five is my limit.
They crowd and sweat and smother.
If you find them sweating when you
put your hand in their box in the
early morning they must not be al
lowed to chill. know of over sew
enty beauties that were Matched this

Dean Cooley, Noted
Scientist, Is Guest
At 'Possum Poke

ALBANY, Ca, Feb. 28.-One of
the most distinguished visitors at
"Possum Poke in 'Possum Lane"
the winter camp near Poulan Of for
mer Governor Charles S. Osborn,
of Michigan, is Mortimer E. Cooley,
noted scientist, dean Of the great
est engineering college in the world,
the University of Michifan, of which
Governor Osborn formerly was re-
gent, past president of the Ameri-
can Society, of Mechanical Engineers,
past president of the Society for the
Promotion of Engineering Educa-
ton, and president of the American
Engineering Council of the Federal
ed Engineering Societies, which is
the greatest honor within the gift of
the profession of engineering.
Dean Cooley has been touring the
principal cities of Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, back through the gulf states
to New Orleans and Baton Rouge,

sage of the engineering societies as
Outlined in Herbert Hoover's ad-
dress at the first annual meeting of
the council, when he said that it
is "an augury of real social devel-
opnent when the engineers of the
United States join together for pur-
poses of public service"
Dean Cooley goes from Poulan to
Atlanta, where he speaks to the en-
gineers and students of the Georgia
School of Technology, carrying
through his program of visiting and
addressing engineering schools on
the education of engineers and the
work of engineering societies. An
important point that he brings out
regarding education is that the col
leges and universities have been
teaching students how to make mon
ey and not how to spend it for the
best interests Of society. The dean
advocates broader educative courses
for engineers and wider interests in
civic life. Mr.. Cooley is a graduate
of Annapolis and for forty years has
been connected with the University
of Michigan.
Other guests at 'Possum Poke are
Judge Fred A. Maynard, Congress-
man Patrick H. Kelley and Captain

CORN MEAL RECIPES
MAKE FINE DISHES

For making such dishes as griddle-
cakes and waffless the peculiar gran
ular consistency of corn meal, which
is a disadvantage under some cir
cumstances, is an advantage, for it
renders them very tender. The fol-
lowing recipes for the use Of corn
meal are recommended by food spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture:
COrn.Meal Puffs without Wheat)
1 pint milk; 1-3 cup corn meal; A
tablespoons sugar; IL teaspoon salt;
4 eggs; grated nutmeg Gf desired).
Cook the milk and meal together
for Is minutes with the salt and the
sugar. When cool add the eggs, well
beaten. Bake in cups. Serve with
stewed fruit or jam. This serves six
persons.
Corn Meal Fritters
BY increasing the corn meal in
the above recipe to one-half cup, the
batter is made stiff enough to be
dropped into hot fat and fried. This
serves six persons.
Corn Meal Pancakes
2 cups wheat flour; IL cup corn
meal; 1 IL tablespoons baking pow
der; 1 IL teaspoons salt; 1-3 cup
sugar; / IL cups boiling water; Ia
cups milk; egg; tablespoon melted
butter.
Add the meal to the boiling water
and boil for minutes; turn into a
bowl, add the milk and the remain
ing dry ingredients mixed and sifted,
then the egg well beaten, and the
butter. Cook on a creased griddle.
This serves six persons.
Corn Meal and White Waff1es
1 IL cups boiling water; IL cup
white corn meal; 1 IL cups milk;
CUPS wheat flour; tablespoons
sugar; 1 ia tablespoons baking pow
der; L IL teaspoons salt; yolk 2 eggs;
whites eggs; 2 tablespoons melted
butter.
Cook the meal in the boiling water
for 20 minutes; add the milk, the dry
ingredients mixed and sifted, the
yolks of eggs well beaten, the but
ter and the whites of eggs beaten
stiff. Cook on a creased waffle iron.
These waffles are considered by most
people better than those made with
wheat flour only. This serves six
persons.

The Yield of Certain Crops

The Yield of Certain Crops
w. f. D., Honea Path, S. c.,
writes: What is the maximum
yield per acre of pop corn,
black-eyed peas, and bunch lime
beans? How should each crop be
fertilized to obtain the largest
yield? What will keep weevils
out of peas after being threshed?
How many pounds of lime
should be put to one pound of
Paris green to kill potato bugs?
It would be different to say just
what the maximum yield. of pop
corn, black eyed white Meas, or
bunch lima beans might pe. That
would depend great deal on the
nature of the land on which the
crops We're planted, the seasonal
conditions ensuing, and the charac-
ter of fertilizer used. Popcorn might
yield anywhere from or 10 bushels
up to as high as 25 or so bushels.
Possibly greater yield than this
might be obtained under favorable
conditions.
Blackeyed peas might be made to
Yield up to as high as 20 or SONbush-
els per acre Lima beans would make
about the same yield as blackeyed
peas, though there would be great
deal of variation in this respect as
well.
q Popcorn should be planted on land
rich in vegetable matter. If the land
does not contain enough vegetable
matter then heavy applications of
Yard manure would be helpful.
Broadcast it over the land ard work
it well into the soil. Then use 500
pounds of formula containing 8 per
cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric
acid, and 8 per cent potash.
For blackeyed peas we would use
300 pounds of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of kainit. The same fArtiliz-
er would answer well for bunch lima
beans. If the soil on which you ex-
pect to plant these crops is sandy
then you might use $50 pounds Of
kainit. These crops should be plant

Middle Georgia Melon
Growers to Meet
In Dublin Thursday

MACON, Ca, Feb. 2S.-President
A. M. Gates, of the. Middle Georgia
Melon Growers associ~ On, has
called the annual meeting Of the
board of directors, to be held at
Dublin, Thursday, Marchs2. At this
meeting all plans and contracts for
the coming season will be made by
the association.
The officers of this cooperative
marketing association are much
pleased with the progress made since
last season. Over six thousand
acres have been signed up this sea-
son, in comparison to twenty-one
hundred last season. The associa-
ton handled SAT cars last year, and
it is estimated that they will han
die from four to five THOUSAND cars
during the season of 1922.
In view of the fact that there will
be ten thousand acres increase &
Georgia watermelons this year, the
watermelon growers all over the
middle and eastern section of Geor-
gia, realize more fully the value of
an organization to control dfStr1bu-
ton. The ten-thousand-acre increase
is not expected to increase the ton
mage from Georgia this season, as
both the Southwest Georgia associa-
ton and the Middle Georgia asso-
citation are eliminating the shipping
of small-size melons. In this man
rer, the members are assured the
best prices the market affords for
the large and marketable melons,
It is understood that the North
American Fruit Exchange, and the
African Fruit Growers will make
bids for the handling of the melons
grown by the members of the as
ISOLATION, both these firms having
a nationwide selling organization
that will give the product the best
possible distribution.
Members and acreage are being
accepted by the association at
daily rate Of two to five thousand
acres. This is expected to continue
