Grain Feed for Chicks

Chicks should be given grain feed
after the first seven to ten days.
This should be fed two or three
times a day on top of the mash.
1t is very essential that sufficient
mash hopper space be supplied so
that the chicks can all eat at one
time. AS early Matched chicks do
not have access to range and direct
sunlight or green feed, their ration
should be supplemented with one
and one-half per cent of straight
cod liver oil that contains IS U. S.
P. units of vitamin D per gram and
not less than 600 U. S. P. units of
vitamin per gram.

American Oats Output
Exceeds Other Nations

The United States oats crop, like
our corn crop, far outranks that Of
any other nation in the world. Ac-
cording to reports of the United
States department of agriculture the
American oats crop for 1887 totaled
LILAC, 1853, 600 bushels. This was 49, Sc
per cent of the world total of 4, 429,-
100000 bushels.
In the drouth year of 1886 the
United States produced 785, soc, 900
bushels, or 1914 per cent of the
world crop of ,043.000, 600 bushels.
In the preceding year domestic pro-
duction reached 1,194, 9O2, 900 bush
els, or 1914 per cent of the world
crop of ATS, 900, 900 bushels.
Other leading oats producing coun-
tries in 1887 were Germany, with

Farm Topics

Cold frames, hot beds. and sash
houses are used to start early or
tender crops
Farm economists are recon-
mending that farmers pay cash and
buy in quantity.
Protection from dampness and
from drafts are the two require
ments that most poultry houses fail
to meet.
Feeding experiments indicate that
beef heifers fatten faster than steers
in a feeding period of less than $50
days.
Ten per cent of the total of eggs
produced in the United States in re-
cent years is estimated to have
gone into cold storage.
Buckwheat is good when mixed
with other grains but in small guam
titles, not more than one fourth of
the total ration. 1t is better to feed
it in winter than in summer.

Suggest Caustic Potash
To Remove Cow Horns

In the wild state, cows may have
needed their horns for defense. but
under modern conditions they are of
no practical value except from the
standpoint of beauty, say Washing.
ton State college dairymen, who
recommend that horns be removed
from calves at an early age.
Horns may be removed with caus-
tic when the calf is about a week
old. Caustic potash in sticks may
be used for this purpose. Tie the
animal securely then clip an area
over and around the horn ''button"
about the size of half dollar. Gov
er this area with vaseline to prevent
the caustic from burning beyond
the horn area.
Wrap one end of the caustic in
paper to prevent burning the fin.
gers of the operator. Place the stick
Of caustic over the center of the
horn button and rub with circular
motion until the caustic has gone
through the skin and into the center
Of the horn button. Some practice
is necessary to achieve the best re-
suits.
Do not turn the calf out in the rain
for day or two and do not allow
other calves to lick the treated horn
buttons.

MilkWeeds Poisonous.
Sometimes Kill Stock

Whorled milkweeds are poisonous
tc live stock and sometimes cause
losses among horses, cattle and
sheep.
Whorled milkweeds have slender
stalks. The leaves are narrow and
are from two to three inches long.
They develop in clusters or whorls
OF several needlelike leaves around
the stalk. The flowers are of green
ish white. The botanist's name for
this weed is Asclepias virticillata.
Common milkWeeds have a heav-
Ter stalk than the whorled variety.
The leaves are comparatively broad,
oblong in shape, and placed on op-
posite sides of the stalk. The flow
ers are of rose purple The botan.
lcal name is Asclepias syriaca. The
swamp variety is known botanically
as Asclepias incarnata. It has
larger, deeper-hued blossom than
the common milkWeed.
MllkWeeds are deeply rooted. per-
ennlal plants, producing seeds in
pods, with a f1osslike material in
side the pods. The pods of the COM
mon milkweed are larger than those
OF the Whorled or swamp milkweed.

1nfertile Eggs Will
Hold Flavor Better


Infertile eggs will hold their flavor
better and will keep fresh longer in
hot Weat Their. To obtain this type of
eggs, all male birds should be sold
when Matching is completed, and
plans made to replace them for an
other year with pedigreed males
from dependable breeder or at
least with males from a reliable
source.
Experts offer these other sugges-
tons for successful flock manage
ment: Don't sell out the flock of
hens but Gull out instead. Keep
the birds that are and have been
heavy layers as indicated by worn
feathers, plump red combs and wat
ties, bright and wide-awake eyes,
bleached beak and shanks and a
full, soft, flexible abdomen free
from hard Jumps of fat.
Since summer days are long
enough for birds to consume enough
mash without stimulating them, as
is the case when wet mash is
fed, it will pay to start cutting down
on the amount given each day until
the practice is stopped entirely.

rifle matches were won by Chal-
mer Senter. In the fifty yard pis-

las Mullins tied for first. In the
shoot-off Fred was adjudged the
winner. Dallas came back to take
the first fifty-foot pistol match
with good score, but not to be
outdone, Fred took the second fiji
ty foot pistol match. C. @. Mullins

Title Series Is JumbIed
As Tech, Central and
Roosevelt Are Upset

Any number Of veteran observers
and so-called experts are tossing
their dope books into the rubbish
heap and quietly destroying pre-
series baseball predictions today
after q glance at the interhigh
standings. The series is as un-
settled as q dyspeptic gentleman's
tummy.
Anacostia trounced Tech In the
eastern division, 4-3, for its second
straight victory, while Central and
Roosevelt, teams supposed to be
settling the western division race
between them, bowed to Wilson and
Western, respectively, in a day Of
upsets that found all contestants
stalemated IN the standings at its
end. Wilson won by a 6-4 score,
and Western conquered the Riders,
IA.
Anacostia Strong on Defense.
Art Faircloth, Anacostia's speed
ball artist, turned in another fine
performance In checking Tech. but
owes his victory to the sterling de-
fensive play of his mates. High
light Of the game was Jack Bur-
rough's one-hand stab of Warren
Fields eighth-inning drive, after
Burroughs had fallen to the turf,
that retired the side with the win
ming runs on base. Again in the
ninth Anacostia rubbed the tying
run of base with sparkling double
play.
Wilson'S lightly regarded forces
got to Dick Rozzelle for three runs
in the first inning and Central
never was able to overcome this
handicap. After settling down Roz-
zelle famed 10, but Western made
good use of seven passes he issued
and the wobbly support of his team
mates to garner three more runs
and clnch the game. Central added
q run in the eighth and two in the
ninth, but Wells bore down and
finished in good style for the victors.
Sarbacher Hits Home Run.
Larkin Sarbacher, Western center
fielder, blasted a home run with the
bases loaded In the third inning as
the Red piled up six runs to sub
merge Roosevelt. The winners drove
big Eddie Vermillion, Rider de-
pendable, from the mound during
this frame, and played alright ball
over the remainder Of the route to
protect their lead.
Johnny Burke, making his series
debut, was nicked for nine hits, but
managed to keep plenty of space
between them.

month long tourney, and Treasury,
Veterans Administration and In
terror all scored clean sweeps, win
ming from w. P. A., Post once De-
partment and Internal Revenue at
Beaver Dam, Indian Spring and
Belle Haven.
In a competitive schedule that is
certain to bristle with surprises, one
Of the biggest came at the very
outset Of the tourney when General
Accounting once, not generally
reckoned one Of the strongest teams,
soundly whipped Federal Bureau Of
Investigation at Kenwood by the
surprising margin Of, 5h to ".
Tommy Webb, ace Of the Govern
ment sleuths, was unable to play.
Farm Credit Is Victor.
Still another strong competitor
came to light In the hitherto un-
known Farm Credit Administra-
ton outflt, which licked Justice De-
partment at Indian Spring, 5 to 1.
AS expected War Department,
with another strong team, licked
Labor, S to l, at Army Navy, and
Interior, playing q match originally

ternal Revenue . row Of goose e-eggs

Outstanding scoring stunt Of the
initial series OF matches for the
crown won last year by Accounts
and Deposits of Treasury was the II
recorded by Otto Elble Of Veterans
Administration at Indian Spring,
as he paced the Veterans golfers to
their clean sweep.
Playing for G. A. O. in their upset
victory over F. B. I. were Frank G
Butler, Vic Jones, w. A. Covert and
