SUPPLY CHICKS
SUITABLE FEED
Do Not Overfeed Young Fowls,
Say Government Poultry
Specialists.
MOST DAHGEROUS PRACTICE
Yolk of Egg Absorbed by Youngster
While Hatching Furnishes Suffi-
cient Nourishment for First
Forty-Eight Hours.
Whether a few or many chickens are
raised, the problem of feeding la the
same. Baby chicks should not be fed
for from 24 to 36 hours after hatching
and will not suffer If given no feed
jintil they are 48 hours old. The yolk
of the egg which Is absorbed by the
chick when hatching furnishes all the
nourishment required during that time.
After the second day chicks should be
fed four or five times daily for the first
week or ten days, but only a small
amount at a time.
Chicks will grow faster if fed four
or five times daily than by feeding
three times daily, but they should be
given only what they will eat up clean
each time. Overfeeding will do more
harm than underfeeding; therefore only
enough should be given each time to
satisfy their hunger and keep them ex-
ercising. Greater care must be exer-
cised not to overfeed young chicks
that are confined than those that have
free range, as leg weakness is apt to
result In those confined.
The first feed should consist of
can be used instead and can be bought
from most feed deulers.
How to Make Johnny Cake.
The following is a recipe for johnny
cake:
Corn meal, 6 pounds.
Infertile eggs (tested out from settings
or from an incubator), 6. i
Baking soda, 1 tablespoonful.
Mix with milk to make a stiff batter,
and bake thoroughly.
When the chicks are from ten days
to two weeks old use a mash to take
the place of the johnny cake or bread
composed of the following:
2 parts, by weight, of bran.
2 parts middlings.
1 part cornmeal.
% part, or 19 per cent, sifted meat scrap.
When the chickens are eight or ten
weeks old add one part of ground oats,
increase the meat scrap to one part,
the corn meal to two parts, and de-
crease the bran to one part.
This mash may be placed In a hop-
per, where It will not be wasted, and
left before the chicks constantly, or
it may be fed as a moist and crumbly
mash once dally, feeding the chick
grains three times a day.
Changing the Feed.
As soon as the chickens are old
enough and will eat whole wheat,
cracked corn, or other grains, the
small-sized chick feed may be discon-
tinued and the larger-sized grains fed
instead. In addition to the grain feed
they must be supplied with grit, oyster
shell, and charcoal at all times, and
the better way Is to place these mate-
rials in a hopper, hanging It In a con-
venient place where the chicks may
help themselves. If chicks are kept in
confinement they must be furnished a
liberal supply of tender, green feed,
like lawn clippings, lettuce leaves, and
such other things as may be available.
Whenever possible, however, chicks
should be given grass range, when
they will supply their own green f«ed
and catch bugs and worms. Chicks
that are allowed to run on a grass
A Hatful That Is Ready for Its First Meal.
baked johnny cake broken up into
small pieces or hard-boiled eggs mixed
witlt stale bread crumbs or oatmeal,
using a sufficient amount of the lat-
ter to make a dry .crumbly mixture.
These feeds or combinations of feeds
may be used with good results for the
first week; then gradually substitute
for one or two feeds daily a mixture
of equal parts of finely cracked wheat,
cracked corn, and pin-head oatmeal or
hulled outs, to which may be added n
small quantity of broken rice, millet,
rape seed and charcoal, If obtainable.
This mixture makes an ideal ration.
If corn cannot be had, cracked kafir
corn or rolled or hulled barley may be
substituted. A commercial chick feed
rang® are usually strong and thrifty
and will grow much more rapidly than
those kept in confinement.
The chickens' growth may be has-
tened considerably by giving them sour
milk In addition to other feeds. Chick-
ens are very fond of milk in any form
and will-eat and drink a liberal sup-
ply of It. It may be fed either sweet
or sour, but the latter Is more desira-
ble. Sour milk will help to keep chick-
ens healthy and is one of the best
things that can be fed to promote rap-
id growth and development. When
milk is fed, the amount of meat scrap
in the mash may be reduced one-half
or omitted entirely if plenty of milk
Is available.
SPECIALISTS FAVOR
FEEDING BY HOPPER
Flock Is Insured Against Faulty
or Insufficient Ration.
Greater Egg Yield Will Result Where
Hens Are Permitted to Get What
They Want—Important That
Growth Be Rapid.
With scarcely an exception, every
poultryman and every farmer who
keeps hens should hopper-feed dry
mash. If the hens are allowed free
range, as they should in the case of
the farm flock, they are expected to
pick up a considerable part of their
living from the wasted material about
the fields and barnyard.
It Is difficult to estimate how much
of such material the hens are finding,
and as a result the farmer may think
that the hens are getting plenty of
feed, when as a matter of fact they
are not getting more than enough to
keep them alive, and therefore they
cannot do much in the way of laying
eggs, but a dry mash provided In a
hopper, where the hens can help them-
selves at will, will insure the flock
against Insufficient or faulty feeding
and will result in a greater egg yield.
Often, too, in the case of those
who are specializing In poultry keep-
ing, judgment as to the amount of
feed to give by hand may be faulty
and a supply of dry mash insures the
hen an opportunity to get what she
needs In order to remain a producer.
In raising young stock, specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture point ont. It is important
that the growth be rapid and even. A
wtbnck in growth Is a handicap from
which the chick never entirely recov-
ers. Regardless of how the growisc
stock may be fed, It Is, therefore, the
best policy to keep a supply of dry
mash in hoppers wjiero the chicks can
help themselves, as this will Insure
the chicks getting ample feed all the
time and will promote greater feed
consumption and more rapid and even
growth.
CHEESE MAKING STIMULATED
Factory System, Developed in United
States, Has Encouraged Produc-
tion in Other Countries.
The factory system of cheese making,
developed in the United States, has
stimulated cheese production In prac-
tically every country. The United
States in recent years has consumed
practically all the cheese It produced
and In addition, just before the war,
was Importing about one-tenth of the
exports from all other countries.
PoultpyNotes
Hens that don't lay don't pay.
• • •
The Pekln probably is the most pop-
ular duck to raise for meat purposes.
• • •
When mating the breeding pens, do
not use any fowl which is in anything
but the best of health.
0 • •
Keep plenty of fresh water, fine
grit and charcoal before the chicks.
Always use lukewarm water.
• • e
Keep the turkey shed very clean
and disinfect It frequently, for tur-
keys soon weaken if kept under filthy
conditions.
• • •
Cleanliness mean* dollars to the
poultry grower. .Clean hovers, clean
roosting bouses, clean nests, dean
water and clean food.
APPROVED WRAPS
FOR SUMMER -:-
SUMMER time will see some of
the most beautiful wraps that
have ever been made under the in-
spiration of Its sunny skies. Design-
ers must he dreaming of it when they
begin, In the heart of winter, to fash-
ion cloaks and coats to be used
months afterward, hut destined to
have their first airings at the fashion-
able winter resorts. The styles favored
br women of trained judgment, are
promoted, and they become the fash-
ions of the summer season.
Among the taffeta wraps there are
such masterpieces of superb designing
as that which compels our homage in
the garment shown in the picture.
You must imagine it in peacock blue
silk, with wide black satin ribbon
having a line of gold along the edges,
outlining the sleeves and simulating
a deep yoke that reaches to the
waistline In front. The skirt of the
coat Is cut In long pointed panels
that overlup, and there is a large and
very becoming collar, with silk cord
and tassel in the color of the clouk
that tie# about it. Huge, embroidered
roses, set in leaves cut from black
satin and outlined with gold thread,
make a decoration that measures up
to the excellence of the design. They
are placed at each side on a panel
and at the waistline on one side.
Another wrap of taffeta has a deep
yoke with a full cape gathered to it
under a band of embroidery. Black
taffeta was chosen for this cape with
embroidery in sapphire blue and blue
satin lining. It was shorter than
the wrap pictured.

FOR THE YOUNGER GIRLS
THE outstanding excellence of chil-
dren's clothes for spring lies
mostly In their simplicity and their
neatness, and neatness in children's
apparel Is another name for smart-
ness. Leaving furbelows to party
frocks, designers have taken blue
serge, plaid woolens and many sub-
stantial cotton goods and turned them
Into enchanting things for little girls
to spend their days In.
For the younger girls serge dresses
with bloomers to match or with bloom-
ers of plaid material leave nothing
to be desired in dresses for everyday
werr. Detachable white collars and
cuffs of linen or heavy cottons or flan-
nel. start the little maid off In the
morning properly freshened up for
school. When the weather is warm a
pretty chambray or gingham dress re-
places serge for dally wear. The care
and the success with which they have
l«>en designed Is convincingly shown
!d the Imi-plalted school dress of
-hunihrny jJctured above at the ri*ht
It is a one-piece dress with plain body,
elbow sleeves and box-plaited skirt II
Is fitted with a deep vestee and white
collar and cuffs, these edged with a
very narrow braid or lace that look
like tatting. The plain belt, with flat
pockets set over It at the sides, li
made of the chambray.
But school and play do not fill all
the time and small girls must some-
times be daintily dressed for other af-
fairs—as visits and parties. They
have been provided for with frocks of
pretty cotton goods, like organdie or
dimity or lawn. Plain organdie In yel
low with collar, pockets and sash ot
white organdie are displayed in one
of these dress-up frocks as pictured
above. It is as dainty as can be and
has a hat of white organdie to matcL.
