POULTRY NOTES

The busy hen is the laying hen.
The less exercise market fowls get
the more quickly they will fatten.
When milk is used as the sole drink
for chickens no other animal protein
is necessary.
Most of the losses Of baby chicks is
due to the fact that they are improp-
erIy fed during the first few days.
Meat scraps and also tankage viii
help all the egg basket. Add 10 per
cent of either to the grain ration.
Success or failure in the turkey bust
ness depends largely on the selection
Of breeding stock. Health and vigor
should be the first considerations.
A good layer may be described as
a hen having a soft, red comb and
wattles an intelligent head, good ca
pacity, plenty of yigOr. carrying a
small amount of fat, a soft pliable
skin. and well faded color.

MATCHING GUINEAS is HARD
Young Fowls Are Tender at First and
Must Be Kept Out of Wet
Varied Ration Best.

Young guineas sometimes appear to
be deformed when first Matched, and
as a rule the apparent deformity is
simply the result of a slow hatch.
When chicken hens or incubators are
used, it is an easy matter to give the
eggs proper attention. Guineas resent
intrusion, especially while sitting.
This alone would be sufficient reason
for Matching with chicken hens, or
with incubators, although there is still
another reason not given. Guinea hens
If not controlled will drag the young
gulneas around through the grass in
all kinds of weather, and the result can
easily be imagined. OF course, young
guineas need exercise, but they are
very tender at first and should be kept
out of wet grass or rain. They are
far less apt to take gapes if kept
dry. 1t is the same with chicks and
turkeys.
During the first few days after
gulneas are Matched they have to be
fed quite frequently. We feed little
every two hours. Dry bread, finely
CIuu1Dleu Win a llLlC NhOpPSu
greens" such as lettuce or onions,
viii always give good results. A little
coarse sand is sprinkled over the feed |
at first, but this is not necessary after |
they have learned to eat grit when
ever required. However, sharp sand
and other grit should always be pro
vided. Boiled eggs are not suitable
food for young guineas, as they are al
most sure to cause constipation, After
they are few days old they will eat
oatmeal dry, or cOrnbread. A varied
ration is better than any one feed.
When they are a few weeks old they
will eat cracked corn, whole wheat or
whatever chicks will eat. When they
are a month old they should not be
fed more than three or four times
day, and If they have good range, a
very little feed each time will be suffi-
cient. In fact, they could get along on
two feeds a day, but we like to teach
them to come home for feed. They
are great foragers, and If there are
any grain fields near, they will make
regular trips to pick up what they can
ind among the stubble Guineas, both
I'D and young, are good bug-catchers
and they will not injure garden crops
is chickens are apt to do, because they
rarely scratch unless grain is thrown

Anna Miller


Who jazzes around with her heat
in the air?
And looks very nice in her straight
bobbed hair?
Who's always ready with something
to say?
And always wants things to go heI
way?
Who is it puts convention aside?
And does anything that comes in her
mind
You'll recognize this little lass.
It's Anna Miller of the Senior class.
There's no excuse for her to sigh
She can get her lessons and not half
try.
And when it comes to making a hit
You'll find Anna doing her bit.
And then when mischief is brewing
in school
You're sure to find Anna playing the
fool.

CIVIC CLUB TO
BOOST FOR SEALS

! The Civic Club met in the club
room Wednesday afternoon. The
room was cheerful and carefully ar
ranged to speak a silent welcome"
to the teachers of our schools who
had been invited to the social hour.
The business session was taken up
by the discussion of Christmas Seal
Sales, which was made very plain by
Mrs. Stringfellow of Boise.
The teachers were welcomed about
O'Clock and after musical pro-
gram, consisting of two numbers by
the Civic Glee Club, two numbers by
a trio, Carl Elhart, Lambert Can
non, and Mrs. ottenheimer, and one
reading by Mrs Zacher, an inter
mission, for meeting individually, the
teachers and parents, was declared,
which was made further sociable by
the appearance of a serving commit
tee, who succeeded most royalty in
breaking down all formality by Civ
ing each plate filled with dainties
that are always sure 'tie that
binds"
Adjournment was filled with hear
ty expressions of "a pleasant af-
ternoon."
The next meeting will be on Tues
day in place of wednesday as stated
in year book because of the near
ness of Thanksgiving.

The Need Of an Ahtletio Association

The high school has gone for years
without any form of an organized
athletic association. 1t has usually
been in the hands of the principal
or athletic instructor to arrange for
games and handle the finances.
Athletics is a function of the
school; the student council controls
the functions of the high school,
therefore, it is within the power of
the student council to bring about
the organization of such an assoeia-
ton.
An athletic association could cor
respond with other schools, arrange
for games, and provide means of
transportation for players. A finan-

The pay Dream Of a Desert Rat

The Day Dream of Desert Rat
I'm Desert Rat by trade,
love the smell of the bushy sage
The shifting sand in tempest rage
Or shimmering in the distant haze
love the way of the winding trail
That leads into some distant vale,
And the moan of the wind through
the sage
AS it rushes on into the spaces of
time.
love the heat of the summers sun.
When a new day is begun,
And the deserts cool, keen air
Helps to richen my morning fare.
When the sun has sunk to rest,
Way out in the crimson west,
And the stars come out one by one,

RATION FOR YOUNG TURKEYS
Fowls Are Finlcky About Food and
Refuse Anything Not Already
Familiar to Them.

Young turkeys are very particular
about their food and will not usually
touch any food that is not already
familiar to them. For this reason the
articles of food that they will need
as they grow older are supplied from
the first Do not feed until the poults
are at least twenty-four hours old, and
then be careful not to overfeed.
A satisfactory first feed is a small
amount of finely crumbled boiled egg,
shell included. This is given three to
six times a day for week. After
the second day a supply Of clean
water and fine grit should always be
available. A sprinkle of fine chick
feed is given along with the crumbled
egg, since grain forms large part
of the ration, being fed three times
daily from the second to the sixth
week. This grain may be good,
clean commercial chick feed or mix
ture of fine cracked corn, cracked
wheat and oatmeal. In addition allow
the poults to range where they can
get plenty of green feed and insects.
Their feeding place and quarters
should be as far from the hen yard
as possible as precaution against
disease. After the turkeys are a
month or six weeks old, mixed whole
grains should be added to the chick
feed and may replace 1t as soon as the
turkeys are found to take the larger
grain. The mixture may consist of
wheat, corn, or oats. Feeding twice
Dr. even once a day is usually sufficient
from this time on.

Almost a Vacation
Helen Lage.

Monday afternoon, a number OF
students decided that they wanted a
vacation; and upon impulse three
small timid girls, Bess, Blanche, and
Elizabeth, started to play hockey.
When they heard the last bell they
lost heart and turned back.
Five of the boys decided to go
duck hunting. The car that they
were going to use wouldn't start;
and just after the bell rang, Gurnee,
Wallace, Byron, Lambert and Alden
were seen dashing to their classes.

Junior Red Cross
Spreads Good viii
Throughout World

Nearly 100000 pupils in the schools
Of America are following the standard
of unselfsh service as members Of the
American Junior Red Cross, the an
nual report Of the American Red Cross
discloses. This valiant host is rep
resented in 125,072 school rooms of.
24,289 schools throughout the United!
States. With service program that
is local, national and international in

the spirit Of good will and mutual I'M
derstanding through correspondence
with pupils in schools scattered
throughout the world. At the close
Of the school year in June 1909
schools were engaged in correspond
ence with a like number of schools
in Europe; 284 schools in our insular
possessions and Alaska territory car
ried on an exchange of letters with
schools in the United States and South
Africa. In fact, nearly 2,700 schools
with probably 100000 pupils were busy
in this fine act of cheerful communi-
cation while S,347 articles passed
through National Headquarters Of the
Red Cross in exchanges between the
interested pupils here and overseas.

Like the kind of a school you like,
You needn't give up hope and quit
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left be-

For there's nothing that's really

It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your school.

Ed Wonderwitz of Hillsboro went
to Reedsburg recently after his car
that had been there two weeks un-
dergoing repairs. The car broke down
near Reedsburg when he was on his
way to Prairie du Sac and as he
could not get immediate repairs, he
had to leave it. On the way home he
had a bad accident between Wone-
woe and Union Center. bolt came
out of the steering gear, resulting III
his losing control and the car went
off the road and tipped over. Mr..
Wonderwitz received minor bruises,
and the top of his car wrecked. With
aid of a team the car was righted
and pulled back into the road and
after repairing the steering gear was
started again toward home. Upon
reaching the railroad crossing be-
tween Union Center and Hillsboro
something went wrong with the shift
ing gears and the car had to be
pulled into Hillsboro. Some people
imagine they have lots of car trouble
but there is always some one with
just little bit more.
