ground and remove and destroy tit.
ter daily.
Exercise and Outdoor Life
Exercise IS first encouraged by
feeding the chick feed in a thin lay
er Of litter. The practice Of keeping
them hungry at feed time encourages
activity. Chicks are more active if
the room Is kept reasonably cool and
the heat is reduced as rapidly as
possible consistent with the chicks
comfort.
II is advisable 10 get he chicks out
on the ground before they are a week
old regardless Of weather. They
may not stay out long but that little
is worth while. Wet feet do no harm
II the litter IN the house Is kept dry.
The hardening process must be carried
out in one way or another and the
earlier il is started the faster the
feather growth will be. Early roost-
ing is advisable for the same reason.
A chicken we'll feathered and setting
on a roost Is out Of the danger zone
and safely on the home stretch.
Leg Weakness
This is not disease, but a eondi-
ton brought on by improper brooder
condition. II chicks have been over
heated or kept on board or very dry
floors until they are three nr four
weeks old leg weakness is very apt
to be the result. The chick appears
unsteady, sways when standing, wab-
bles when waikiki J., its shaaks shrivel
and become dry and the toes curl.
They become stunted, and the loss
may be as high as % To 80 per cent.
When first noticed, If got out on the
ground, those that are not badly af
feeted may be saved. The worst ones
should be killed. Watch carefully for
this trouble from the tenth to The
fifteenth day.

Junked Before Sold.

Approximately three truck-loads OF
stills and coils representing several
hundred pounds of copper. seized by
federal prohibition agents in San An
tonic and vicinity since the adoption
of the Volstead act, will be sold by
United States Marshal d. A. Walker,

junk dealer who offers the highest
price, Marshal Walker said.
The coils and stills now stored at
the prohibition headquarters in the
Kampmann building will be trans
ferred to the basement OF the federal
building Monday morning. To this
mass of metal will be added the stills
that have been stored in the customs
service vault.
Before the junk is sold the stills and
coils must be destroyed so that they
may not again be sold for the pur-
pose Of manufacturing Of liquor. This
destruction of the coils and stills will
be made under the direction Of the
United States marshal.
After the expenses Of the destruc-
ton are paid, the money received
