MAINTENANCE ration for chicks
i is one which will provide energy
forming material to sustain the
body processes, and supply the elements
needed in the repair of the organs and
the growth and development of the
body. Wheeler gives the following,
which was calculated from actual food
cousuniptiou of chicks:

Our Egg Exports.
Reports show that 121,000,000 dozens
of eggs were exported to foreign coun­
tries during 12 months. From this it
would be reasonably safe to estimate
that the egg crop of this country
crowds the corn crop very closely, or
would if accurate returns could be ob­
tained of the number of eggs consumed
in the homes of the farmers.
The number of eggs exported has
rapidly increased in the last few years.
It is reported that in 1903 the value of
hens’ eggs exported was $33,297 and in
1913, $4,391,653.
Kerosene for Poultry.
If kerosene were not so common nnd
cheap we would cousider it a great
poultry remedy.
I have cured my hens by the use of
a small spring bottom oil can, with
which I injected a little oil into their
nests.
If their heads arc swelled anoint the
swollen part with common vaseline.
Continue this treatm‘nt about four
days.
Kerosene is a good lice killer; so is
hot salt brine.
Often a teaspoonful of kerosene will
cure the cholera in chicks.

PURITANISM SAID TO

CONGRESSMAN DECLARES TEN-

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
8T. LOUIS, Mo., May 25.—“ The dark
speetre of puritanisin is beclouding the
sun of freedom. It is the lot of the
present generation to defend the
sovereignty of the individual against
tbs tyranny of the majority.” With
these words United States Congressman
Richard Bartholdt, of Missouri, declar-
cd that Carl Schurz, Emil PTeetorious
and Carl Daenzer would find a new
fight for freedom was to be waged if
they were living in this epoch.
Mr. Bartholdt spoke at the unveiling
of a monument to the three German
editors, erected ia commemoration of
their support during the civil war.
“ It seems,” he said, “ as if it had
fallen to the lot of the present genera
tion to defend the sovereignty of the
individual, the inherent right of self
control against the majority, a struggle
in whieh there is as much at stake as
ia all the preceding struggles for the
preservation of liberty. The plan is to
enslave the many because of the possi
ble excesses of the few, and American
self government, the prond boast of our
lenders, is no longer to bs a government
of each by himself m matters of per
sonal conduet, but of each by all the
