CARING FOR YOUNG CHICKS.

Caring for young chicks on a small
scale is a simple matter The hen is
the brooder and furnishes the heat.
In order to be a good brooder she must
be free from lice and mites. She is
not likely to have mites If she was set
in clean nest that had been previ-
ously sprayed with crude carbolic
acid, or mixture Of crude carbolic
and crank case oil. She will not have
lice il she was carefully powdered
with sodium fluride before she was
set.
The hen is also chief caretaker
She is not infallible in wisdom and
might lead the chicks through wet
grass, or too far afield, before they
are equal to the task Keep her in
dry, well ventilated, or open coop
for day or two and she will make
few mistakes. If you keep her cooped
up too long she will over-feed the
chicks, IL you put the feed in reach
Feed lightly till she is at liberty to
run. After that you can feed without
stint. She will not stay in one place
long enough to let the chicks over
eat.
If you want to raise your chicks
economically, set two hens on the
same date. When the chicks are
Matched give them all to the best hen.
A nervous mother is not good for
chicks. Place the other hen in an
open coop for day or two, or put her
back in the hen house, and in short
time she will be back laying. Her
physical condition is low, so give her
plenty Of grain to nourish her body,
but don't force her too fast with high
protein feeds. A nervous hen will
come back to laying sooner than a
phlegmatic one

Optimistic This Year.

Deposits in Washington state banks
have increased $2,733,SS1 since Sept.

Duke, supervisor of banking, show.
There were 211.7775 commercial &C.
counts and 168,253 savings bank de.

constant gain in the number of saw

in business conditions In this state
but there are none." said Supervisor
Duke. 1.-THE state as whole is in
excellent condition. business is on q

our prosperity is assured.
Labor is In demand, there Is an

the whole lumber market Is
most encouraging, retail business is

for. Reports indicate that every acre
Of land that is prepared for seeding
will have crops planted this year.
There is plenty Of moisture in the
ground now.
1--WE cannot predict weather condi.

the farmers need fear. Even the
companies have shown a
spirit Of cooperation and are aiding
farmers to get in their crops. With

ell whether we will get by the next
stage safely, but the law Of averages
ought to give us good crop
year now. OF course many of the
farmers will need two good crops to

oelt that has suffered for several years
will follow good crop this year. l

GETTING READY FOR BIG
KETTLE FALLS POWER SITE

Issuance of permanent federal H.
cense for the development of the
Kettle Falls hydro-electric project by
the Washington Water Power COM
pany is expected shortly after the pre-
liminary survey work Is completed
about May Is, according to d. l..
Huntington, president. The work on
the dam and power house, at Kettle
Falls, will start Immediately after the
federal license is issued. The first
step will be the construction of sew
eral miles of railway from the main
line to the power site. 1t is estimated
that the first unit will take two years
to build and should be in operation
in the summer of 1926.

need some animal protein. II they
have all the sour milk or buttermilk

If there is no milk, or limited sup
ply of milk, they will need some an.
imal protein. A mash carrying 16
per cent of protein is rich enough.
All chicks, even those raised on a
farm, should be taught to eat mash,
or ground grain in some form; be-
cause, when they grow up they must
eat mash in order to balance the ra-
ton for egg production. A good mash
for this purpose could be made by
mixing, by measure, 16 parts bran, /
part bone meal, one part fine granu-
lated charcoal and 1-2 part fine sand.
This mash should be fed dry, and may

PAINT MADE WITHOUT OIL
CHEAP AND DURABLE.

Paints and varnishes of various
kinds in which oil or shellac will not
be required as mixing body, or me-
dunn, may now be made by recent

proximately half the cost of those now

COMPRESS POWDERED GYPSUM
TO MAKE BUTTONS.

Buttons are now being made of
powdered gypsum, which is first com
pressed to the desired shapes in
molds and then dampened with fine
spray of water to effect a setting"
or hardening, process. It is said that
buttons are manufactured economic
ally, rapidly, and with exceeding ex-
actness in this manner, in addition to
which they possess great duration.
Buttons may also be made by this
method from burnt magnesite, or from
a mixture Of burnt magnesite and
gypsum. If burnt magnesite is used,
the hardening must be done with
chloride-of-magnesium solution, the
result being an especially strong and
durable material

MADE WITHOUT A WELD.

Turnbuckles of great length, such
as are used for Tightening the guy
ropes on derricks, are now being
made we,dless. Hitherto, the pres
ence of Yields in each head has
been the cause of an element OF UNI
liability, and possibility of fail
ure, which in the case of derrick
in operation has often had disas-
trous results. The weldless turn
buckle, in lengths of feet and
over, is solid forging without
Yields, and, therefore, exceptionally
strong.

interesting test held to demon

A survey conducted among the
hotels, merchants and lumber camps
shows that over 100000 worth Of eggs
are consumed In Pend Oreille county
each year. Approximately IL per cent
Of the value of these are produced In
the county and most Of this in spring
and summer eggs. County Agent e.
q. Hupp is urging the farmers Of the
county to increase poultry production.

pens Poultry farm, Of Prosser, an

1.-THE best way to prevent loss from
rats is to have a rat-proof chicken
house, asserts Leo x. Couch, biologic-
al assistant Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, who speaks
of the increase of rat nuisance among
poultrymen of western Washington.
ut Is said to be impossible to clean
out rats by any one method, but the
use of traps and poisoning are both
effective.
when some sly old fellow keeps
coming back and you can't catch him
in trap perhaps he can be tempted
by poisoned bait. Barrium carbonate
is recommended as a poison rather
than strychnine, because it Is taste
less and is slower acting. The poi
soned rat will probably leave the
premises and die elsewhere.
Rats are particularly troublesome
In the spring when the young chicks
are running about. The rats, however
prefer to seize their prey at nights
and will gnaw through poorly con-
board floor and cause serious
loss in brooder house. Thus will be
seen the necessity for concrete floors,
or other methods of making the
brooder house rat-proof Beside dis
ease and vermin carriers the rats are
said to destroy 1000, 900 worth of feed
and young stock, such as chicks be-
fore they are able to roost at safe
distance from rats"
