Superintendent Holt was obliged to
discontinue development work on the
canals until congress passes an appro­
priation bill. The bill as passed by
the house carried $500,000, but the
senate cut this to $250,000.
A con­
ference committee has the matter un­
der consideration.
Should the larger
appropriation carry and the^bill soon
pass so as to allow early use o f the

In one hopper and the dry mash for
chickens in another. The beef scrap
may be left out of the dry mash and
fed tn a separate hopper, so that the
chickens can eat all of this feed they
desire. If the b«»ef scrap Is to be fed
separately It Is advisable to wait until
j the chicks are ten days’ old, although
some poultrymen put the beef scrap
before the young chickens at the start
without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats, al­
falfa, or clover, but the besf place to
raise chickens successfully Is on a good
range where no extra green fee«l Is re-
qulre«!. Where the chickens are kept
In small hare yards, fine charcoal grit,
nnd oyster shell should be kept before
the chickens all the time, and cracked
or ground bone may be fed. The bone
Is not necessary for chickens that have
