Feeding" Chicks
By Bottle Plan

Here is a trick in feeding sour
milk to chicks which is said to work
perfectly. Get round pint bottles,
cut off the bottoms, which may be
done by winding a couple Of strands
Of cotton string around them, sat
urating this with turpentine and
burning the string. tapping the bot
tom of the bottle as 1t cools. Suspend
the bottles a quarter to half an inch
above plates or pans with corks in.
To fill, invert the bottle. pour full
of milk. press the plate on pan
against the cutoff bottom, set 1t on
the floor or ground. The milk will
ooze out around the edge only as
fast as the chicks eat It..
Experience may be necessary to get
the proper distance above the plate,
as thick milk requires more space
than thinner. Once q day. the bot.
ties may be- filled after rinsing them
with warm water.

INCOME TAX FACTS
TO Be REMEMBERED
Deductions That Apply When
Taxpayer Is Figuring
Amount Due.

Within certain limitations inter.
est and taxes paid during the tax.
able year may be reduced from
gross income. Such items include
interest upon a personal loan and
taxes on a dwelling. as well as in
terest on business debts and taxes
upon business property. The fed
eral income tax, however, may not
be deducted, nor may there be in
cluded any special assessments for
local benefits tending TO improve
the value of the property, such as
paving or drainage assessments,
since they are. in fact, the cost of
q permanent improvement.
Obligations of the United States
issued prior to Sept. 2, 1917, arr
wholly exempt from the Federal in
come tax. Hence interest, paid or
ACQUIRED on indebtness incurred,
or continued to purchase or carry
such obligations, is not an allow.
able deduction from gross income.
Personal indebtness includes
not only money borrowed to defray
personal expenses-clothing, food.
ect.-but also money borrowed for
the purchase of real estate. II a
person owes money secured by a
lien or mortgage on his home, the
amount of interest paid on such in
debtedness may be deducted. More.
over, interest paid by the taxpayer
on a mortgage upon real estate of
which he is the legal or equitable
owner, even though the taxpayer is
not directly liable upon the bond
or note secured by such mortgage
may be deducted as interest on his
indebtedness.

Farmers Need
Is Longer Time
On Money Loans
Dependent on System Devised
for the Benefit of Other
Industries.

The need Of the farmer is not so
much more money as it IL money
at reasonable rates and on reason
able time.
The entire credit system Of this
country has been developed by the
banks on the basis Of merchandise
ing enterprises. The country banker
who now supplies and will continue
to supply the farmer with the
major portion Of his money has to
depend upon a system devised for
Industries OF an entirely different
nature.
When the farmer needs money he
finds he can not get it for proper
lengths of time because the banker
can not discount his paper for those
periods. For the reason he either
has to keep the money for longer
periods than should be necessary or
he has to pay higher rates OF In
terest than other industries.

ing independently, produced brood
ers of this type at about the same
date and presented them to. the
poultry fraternity. The original
colony breeders were coal-burning
and this type Is still most popular.
Very recently the oil-bnrning type
has been perfected and Is much in
demand.
The typical colony brooder IL a
sturdy stove Of large heating capAc-
ity, surmountad by q metal canopy
or def1ector which throws the heat
to the floor. It Is economical to In
stall and operate, easy to manage.
IT may be placed In any reasonably
tight structure and removed wnen
the chicks no longer require heat,
thus permitting the building to be
used for other purposes the rest Of
the year. It successfully grows
mighty good chicks in flocks Of 800
to 5O0-sometimes as large as 1000
thus reducing labor to its lowest
terms because 1t is q heap easier to
care for one stove and feed and
look after a single flock Of 500
chicks than ten small broods.
The principle Of the colony
brooder is roughly this Provide
ample heat to warm large floor
area and permit the chicks to find
exactly the temperature they prefer
by moving toward or awav from the
stove. Perfectly simple-and the
plan works.. Each brooder is
equipped with an automatic regu-
lator which holds the heat at the
required point The attendant mere

ashes and the brooder does the rest.

Possibly the best plan Of opeiat-
ing these brooders is to place them
in roomy colony houses, as such
structures can he moved to fresh

Points About Fattening
Chickens for Market

Pen up about three weeks before
killing.
Keep in a clean, dry place.
Feed three or four times a day.
Feed all the birds will clean up
IN twenty minutes, then empty
troughs.
Keep fresh water, grit and char
coal before birds at all times.
A good mixture consists Of four
parts cornmeal, two parts wheat
middlings and one part beef scrap.
Mix with sour milk or buttermilk
and feed moist enough to drip from
spoon.
Do not omit the animal food
Thirty pounds Of skim milk, ten
pounds cut bones or five pounds
beef scrap are estimated as being
Of the same value.
A small amount Of lard or suet
chopped through the mash gives
good results.
Do not feed the birds for twelve
hours before killing, but see that
they have plenty Of water.

Farmer Should

Specialization pays when the
farmer has built himself into it by
experience and is willing to figure
his success in a term OF years in
stead Of each year. Big profit one
year and none the next, with per

right, If one wins twice in three
times. But for the average farmer

him something to sell throughout
the year instead of during a brief
season, Is the safer and more salts

The average farmer wants more
than money profit; he wants ease
