GROWING CHICKS

Costs OF poultry production can be
lowered by raising big matches just
as the cost OF pork production can
be reduced by the raising OF big lit
ters. Heavy mortality among chicks
can often be prevented by timely OBJ
servation and care.

the yard should be enlarged SUFFICIENT

put on free range. there Is likely to be
difficulty In feeding the chicks unless
they are kept apart from the hens.
The same difficulty arises when chicks
OF different ages are being raised
close together. To avoid Interference

Improved Methods Will
Increase Dairy Profits

An increase OF 1883 in returns over
and above feed costs In one months
time was realized by A. A. Anderson,
a La Sale county dairyman living
near Sheridan. from being a member
OF his county dairy herd improvement
association. according to II. Il. Jami-
son. assistant dairy extension special
LIST Of the college OF agriculture. Uni
yerslty OF Illinois, where the work OF
these associations is supervised. An
derson's ten cows. three OF which were
dry. lacked $5.32 OF paying for the
feed which they ate one month. The
following month, after Anderson had
adopted some recommendations OF the
herd Improvement association, the ten
cows showed return OF S30.1t over
and above the cost OF their feed for
that month.
Edward Ehredt, who is the Official
tester in the herd improvement associ-
alton Of which Anderson is a member,
made the recommendation which
turned the tide In the herd OF ten cows.
Among other things he suggested a
better ration. Up to this time Ander-
son had been feeding whole grains
to the cows. but these were now
ground. In addition each COW was fed
according TO her production. Previ-
ousiy the cows also had been forced
to drink ice water Anderson started
using a tank heater. and during the
coolest weather carried additional wa
ter to the cows.
The returns which the ten cows paid |
over and above feed costs we're IN
creased by a total Of 1858 in a
months time despite the fact that
there were no fresh cows in the herd
during the month.

Commission TO
GiDe Tunney
TItleShot

NEW YORK, March 5.-The
New York State Athletic Commits
sion is expected to make some
announcement today to the effect
that it has withdrawn its support
from Harry Wills claims to a
heavyweight championship bout
and that, therefore, it will have
no objection to Jack Dempsey
meeting Gene Tunney in defense
of his title.
Reports have been in circulation
for the last week that Dempsey
and Tunney already have agreed
on terms for q meeting under Tex
Richards auspices next August and
that announcement to that effect
merely is being held in allegiance,
awaiting the action Of the local
commission,
Wills action last summer i'm
signing with Dempsey at Niles,
Mich, after the New York board
had champiOned his cause for
several years, is believed to have
cost him the support Of the local
dutIOEAINCSs
James A. Farley, chairman of the
commission, declined to comment on
this angle of the situation today
but made this significant remark:
wills action in signing with an
outside promoter was very undiplo-
mate, to say the least
Boxing men i'm close touch with
the situation were willing to
wager that, II no announcement
i'm this connection was forthcOm-
ing today, that 1t was being with
. held for a more prOpitiOus mo-
mcnt.
Although it Is understood that
Rickard has not secured Dempsey's
signature and will not even admit
to having talked with him, the
probability was that the bout would
take place under Richards auspices
at Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jersey City.
Other promoters, including Charley
Stoneham, Of the Giants, also are
in the field for the match.
