FIRST CARE OF B.VBY CHICKS. The first-, requirement of young 1 chicks is - warmth a - temperature I comfortable for mem.,, unicxs naicn 1 in a temperature M 102 to 105 de- I I ptmi. P Whpn brooded by hens they remain under the mothers nearly all the time for two or , three days. Chicks . shipped in small boxes are kept warm by the heat of their bodies so long as the boxes are dot exposed to" near-freezing tempera tures, hut this natural heat is not Buyers of chicks should have brooder auch as Is required, for the number of chicks ' bought ready, warmed, and regulated when the chicks arrive.' If, for any reason. the. brooder Is not' ready, take the chicks from the shipping box in room; feed, and return to the 1 hox: repeat at: intervals ot three 1 hours until tha brooder Is re adv. For iti, nnt few days give very close to regulating the brooder the comfort of the chick This (is the-most troublesome state. In the I ooeration of a. brooder, and the most I . th- iif- of th. Tlehick. I Delay In deUvery of a brooder I sometimes nuts a novice In a auan- I dry M bat to do with chicks. A ..I brooder for temporary use may be made aa follows: Take a box. with- - out covers about 18 to 24 Inches - 1 - the bottom, cut an open Int three inches high by 10 Inches I. .... ons cnicaa w pasa larougn Protect this opening with a strip of cloth, tacked at the upper edge, hav ing perpendicular slits from the low- edge to within half an Inch ot the I top to give tho chicks passage This - - - - . box, covered on. top with a piece of old, blanket or Quilt, may be used without heat when the outside tem perature Is 70 degrees, F. or over. For lower temperature a Jug or a large bottle of hot water should be placed In the box and refilled aa often as necessary to keep the chicks comfortable Young chicks should not be fed for from 24 to 28 hours after hatch ing, and will not suffer if given no feed until the third day. The yolk ot the egg. which Is absorbed by the chick, furnishes all the nourishment required during this time. , It is this provision of nature for the first sus tenance of the chick that make it possible to ship newly-hatched chicks considerable 'distances. At the start It la advisable to feed five times a day, dividing the day into equal periods and alternating a mash or soft feed, such as Johnny cake, with a hard grain or scratch feed. A model variety ration is as fol lows: Scratch mixture Cracked corn, 5 pounds; cracked wheat, 2 pounds; plnhe&d oatmeal, hulled or rolled oats, 2 pounds-- The above mixture when available- makes an Ideal ration. In the absence of corn. cracked kaf fir corn, roUed or hulled barley may be . substituted. .''Feed morning, noon, and night, scattered In chaff litter. Johnnycake - Corn meal. 5 pounds; eggs (infertile), 6; baking soda, 1 tablespoon. Mix with milk to make a stiff hatter. . Bake well, or mixture of 'dried bread crumbs with hard boiled infertile eggs, making about one-quarter of the mixture of eggs. . Rolled oats may be used In place of the bread crumbs. Feed In middle of forenoon and afternoon for the first 10 days or two weeks. When infertile eggs are not available use double the quantity ot baking soda, and add one-half pound of sifted beef scrap. Infertile eggs are those which have been tested out from sittings or from an Incubator. Green Feed Any tender green stuff may be. fed to baby chicks. When a regular supply In quantity is needed, it is usually mort Convenient to use sprouted oats. Water. Little chicks should be supplied constantly with fresh water In either shallow pans or small drinking. fountains. xllot Weather Hints.- Provision for keeping young ' chicks warm Is" needed on the hottest daya or during the heat of any bright day, but the chicks should always have heat avail; aoie u tney want it. . , In" extremely hot weather special care is 'necessary to - prevent checks from being overheated by exposure to the sun, confinement where venti lation Is bad, or. overcrowding. The brooder should 1 be '.' under . shelter, with good circulation of air around it, and the -number of chicks should not be greater than it will accommo date comfortably nnder hot weather conditions. . Skim milk, either sweet or sour. and buttermilk are specially valuable feeds In hot weather, making the ilet lighter without reducing Its nu tritive value. The milk should be given, as a drink In vessels, from which chicks can take.lt without soiling one another with It. The use it milk, does not do away with the nse of water, which should he given as usual. " . . Unless the premises where. chicks ire kept and all appliances used are known to be absolutely free from lice and mites, ' and it is certain that chicks, have never been exposed to them, it Is a wise precaution to paint or spray the brooder with a mixture ot 4 parts crude petroleum and 1 part kerosene, allowing it to dry thoroughly before using. Puffs of insect powder on the chicks when In the brooder, about once a week, will destroy any lice that may be on them. Hatch Standard-bred Chicks. Standard-bred chicks are more uni form xIn typo and color.- Standard bred chicks produce uniform prod ucts of superior quality. Standard-bred-chicks require no more room, care or feed than scrubs or mongrel stock.; Standard-bred chicks make better fowls. They mean more meat, more eggs, and better prices.

Never In history have corditija favored our particu lar bnalnens so little as now, and this Statement la made wiUx full knowl edge that both the consumer and the producer may think otherwise . A year ago, butter at retail ranged around 50 cent s pound. Two weeks ago it ranged around 76. cents a pound. The creamery man's business Is to serve the producer and the consumer honeitly, and. In perform ing this office he Is entitled to a fair margin: all honest business Is en titled to a fair margin. There Is a mistaken Idea arioat throughout ihe country that the distributor wishes to exercise control over the ether man's- business, and . if we honestly face the conditions as they- are-we are forced to admit thaatwirdity of the existence of such a fact at least so far as the Individual local dis tributor goes. Including the Mutnal Creamery Company. Our position in the cycle of -serving Is that of -a wee, tiny cog in a very large wheel All the rest of the cog represent the Interests" of the' producers and the consumers and the intermediary public; but, to maks the cycle com plete, we have to. return to condi tions as they are.

The demand for pure but ter, at pre railing prices In nearly all communities has alumped from 40 to CO per cent or normal consumption. And, why? Because, the consumer has refuted to pay the price f cr but ter.. But why should he not pay an equitable price for. butter? . I tell you It Is because tho meat-packing industry is spending nnilons in edu eating the public mind to helieve tnat oleo-nut margarine and other buU- tat substitutes are clean health ful food,' and' contain as much, or greater, food value than butter; and because there Is no concerted action on behalf -of the dairy Indattry to counteract this propaganda, and no S.

Mr. Gregg was affiliated with the democratic party. He. represented Polk county In the legislature as representative in the 1898-1S99 term. Six years ago he was a candi date for the office of connty Judge but was defeated by the. late Judge Teal.

Recent reports published by th federal Trade Commission' point to the packing Industry as a menace to the publie good, and recommenda tions have, been made that" the na tional administration or congress immediately take . steps to control same for the public good. Jt is recognized, and known to be . a fact, that Dany so-called independ ent packing -houses are controlled by the Elg rive, and, strange to say, the public, especially the pro ducers, are looking on passively and apparently without recourse that will effect relief; and, further, what right have combinations of such magnitude to operate nnder. inde pendent and . innocent-sounding names, or unaer wo they are competing" with each other, when, as now shown,1 by public in vestigation, they are owned Jointly by the packing combines or men controlling the combines. - Do you know, Mr. Farmer, that la a few years more 90 per cent of all food produced In. this country will be controlled by the packing house Industry; and do you know that they virtually. control the dlstributionand marketing of cheese, butter, ana eggs?. As to the substitutes, tney are controlled by the packing house w Interests absolutely. 'And has it ever occurred to you that millions are be ing spent through the press to allay public opinion against the Inevitable need of control of predatory busi ness? ' ' V , Substitutes for butter are what hare forced the present Issue. We may as well face the fact. now. as later. There never was a time In history when the necessity' tor 'combatting the aggression of Imitation products was more needed than It" is today. We have scientific and proven knowledge that no fat compounds, however delicately flavored with borrowed essence from milk, possess the properties vital, to the reproduc tion and development of the human race.
