Yolk of Egg Absorbed by Youngster
While Hatching Furnishes Suffi-
cient Nourishment for First
Forty-Eight Hours
Whether a few or ninny chickens are
raised the problem of feeding is the
name I’uhy chicks should not he fed
for from 24 to 30 hours after hatching
and will not suffer If given no feed
until they are 4S hours old The yolk
cf the egg which Is absorbed hy the
chick when hatching furnishes ail the
nourishment required during that time
After the second day chicks should he
fed four or five times dully 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 dally 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 nnderfeedlng therefore only
enough should be given each time to
satisfy their hunger and Veep 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
A Hatful That Is Ready
baked Johnny cake broken tip Into
mall pieces or hard-boiled eggs mixed
w'lth 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 oae or two feeda dally a mixture
of equal parts of finely cracked wheat
cracked corn and pin-bead oatmeal or
bulled outs to which may be added a
small quantity of broken rice millet
rape seed and charcoal If obtainable
This mixture makes an Ideal ration
If corn cannot be Rad cracked kafir
corn or rolled or hulled barley mny be
substituted A commercial chick feed
SPECIALISTS FAVOR
FEEDING BY HOPPER
Flock Is Insured Against Faulty
or Insufficient Ration
Greater Egg Yield Will Result Where
Hene Are Permitted to Get What
They Want— Important That
Growth Be Rapid
With scarcely an exception every
poultrymnn and every farmer who
keep hens should hopper-feed dry
tnash 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 ubout
the fields and barnyard
It Is difficult to estimate how much
of such nrnti rlnl the hens are finding
and a a result the farmer may think
that tlie liens are getting ph nty of
feed when as a matter ef fart they
are net getting mere than cinnigh to
bmp them alive and tie ref re they
catmot do much In the wuy ef lining
eggs but a dry mndi provhhd In a
pepper where the hen can he'p them-
selves at will will Insure the Peek
tgalnst 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 os to the amount of
feed to give by hand mny be faulty
and supply of dry mash Insures the
hen n opportunity to get what she
needs In order to remain a producer
In raising young stock specialists
of the I’nited States department of
agriculture point out It Is Important
that the growth he rapid and even A

How to Mako Johnny Cako
Thy following U a recipe for Johnny
rake:
Corn meat I pounds
Infertile eggs (tested out from settings
or front an Incubator) I
B“kln soda 1 tableepoonful
Mix with milk to maks a atilt better
and bake thoroughly
When the chicks are from ten dnys
to two weeks old use a mash to take
the place of the Johnny cake or bread
composed of the following:
1 parte by weight Of bran
t parts mliMlInga
1 part comment
H part or 10 per cent lifted 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 plneed 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 tha 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 tn 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 feed
and catch hugs and worms Chicks
that are allowed to rua on a grass
for Its First Maal
range are usually strong and thrifty
snd 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 la 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
stock may be fed It Is therefore the
best policy to keep a supply of dry
mash In hoppers where 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

The factory system of cheese making
developed In the United States has
stimulated cheese production In prac-

State In recent years has consumed
practically all the cheese It produced
nnd In addition Just before the war
was Importing about one-tenth of the

will probably aid In the building oF
homes
About 4 000 employees have Joined
the ro-operntive body so far but It Is
expected that all of the 15000 General
Electric workers In Lynn will become
members and that similar movements
w ill be Inaugurated In other cities
The $10 membership fee or share Is
returnable whenever a member severs
his connection with the Lynn work
An effort will be made In every In-
stance to “buy at the source" and

HANDLING AUTO
IS QUITE EASY
Little Knowledge of Component
Parts Will Bring It Back

IGNORANCE CAUSES TROUBLE
Gasoline Mixed With Air Compression
and Ignition Are Three Essentiala
In Starting— Lubrication la
Important
Since the test of success long has
been not that a fellow could start
something but that he could finish It
It well may be sutd that one Is not an
accomplished motorcar driver until he
can get back on his own power re-
gardless of what conditions he Is up
against Anyone can be towed back
— If be has the price There Is little
fear of this for the driver of an up-to-date
cur once he hna loumed the
simple things of operation It is Ig-
norance which lead to trouble— out-
side of the movies
It takes three things to start a car
gasoline mixed with air compression
and Ignition and these must be con-
tinuous If the car Is to keep running
In addition there must be a system of
lubrication a system of cooling and
a free exhaust Now thla look Ilka
a formidable list of things to master
really It can be done even by a child
To begin with the first on the list
for Instance It may be taken for
granted If the engine la started and
runs that the carburetor Is adjusted
properly and will stay so until human
fingers alter It therefore the only
trouble In tbe gasoline supply would
be a failure to keep a supply In tbe
tank or the stoppage of the pipe line
by dirt the remedy being obvious
To Determine Compression
Compression may be determined by
cranking over the engine by band and
noticing the resistance of each cylin-
der in turn Lack of compression mny
come from leaky valves which need
grinding In lack of lubrication In the
cylinder since oil forms a seal be-
tween piston and cylinder walls that
the piston rings were gummed and not
functioning or that there was a leak
at plugs petcooka or If the cylinder
head be removable In Its gnskeL Iut
an engine will run with pretty poor
compression
Ignition Is much more likely to be
at fuult than the other things men-
tioned The modern cur with starting
system Is quite a complex thing so
fur as Its electric plant la concerned
for there Is the starting motor and
the generator the storage battery
timing device possibly a magneto
and an Intricate system of wiring
with cutout and regulator ammeter
lights horn nnd maybe other device
to give trouble I'arnng broken wires
loose terminals and dirty contact
points the troubles should be few The
car Instruction book gives a chart of
wiring
Lubrication la Important
Lubrication I perhaps the most Im-
portant feature of operation of the
motor Without It the motor would
be ruined In a few minutes Lubrica-
tion means the placing of a film of
oil or grease between two moving
parts to reduce friction and In the
cylinder It Inis the added office of
fnp compression noted n hove
The lubrieation system mny be force
feed splash or circulating splash Tho
lutter Is t tie one most used The oil
Is carried In the bottom of the crank
case called the sump at a level de-
termined by the manufacturer It Is
pumped up to a dlul on the dash-
board where you mny observe Its tlow
and runs from there by gruvity to the
oil troughs In the crunk cae and
possibly to some other mechunlsm
Narrow projections on the connecting
rods dip Into the oil In the troughs
and splash It over tho Interior Rapid
motion of the parts produces a sort
of oil fog in the crank case which
