Mrs. Watkins points out that crop forecast have been unduly boosted by the big rush ot early harvest grain, caused by the fact that wheat cutting this y-r was one to two week ahead of its usual dates, and by the hot dry weather and freedom from weeda. which allowed harvest to go ahead without delay. The flow ot wheat to market, he believes, is about over.

Many a , forge ha died out since "tbe -smith, a mighty man," wa somewhat ot a public character, but It I good to know that there are enough horseshoers left to form an- association and convene Just the same a more modern organisation. "As the twig is bent so will the tree be Inclined." was not spoken ot chicks, but the proverb tits splendidly. Chicks must get a good start If they are to develop into good layers, in the first place, strong chicks are neces sary. Good environment, sanitary quarters, freedom from dampness and plenty of warmth for com fort are all Important factors, but nothing Is quite so important as proper feeding. Tbe Ideal feeding method is one which keeps the chicks grow ing every minute. It your pres ent methods are accomplishing that result, do not change but unless your chicks are develop ing regularly from day to day so that yon can literally and actu ally see them grow, yon will probably profit by changing to I another plan. That does col ! mean a more difficult or compli cated one. On tbe contrary. It often means simpler and easier method most certainly mote eftecliie one. The time to start proper feed ing is tbe very moment your chicks arrive from tho hatchery or when taken from the nest or from your own Incubator. Thou sands of chicks are killed every year by premature feeding or by being given the wrong kinds ot food materials during their first few hours ot freedom. Nature provides all the nour ishment needed by a chick during the first two or three day of Ha life. Just before it emerges from the shell, what is left ot the yolk which nourished the chick before hatching is absorbed into It abdominal cavity, 'in is sup plies all the nourishment ueedeii for tbe first 48 to 60 hours. To feed anything else during thul time may lead to serious digest ive disorders, causing death later on it not at once. A consider able percentage of so-called while diarrhea cases are caused by premature or improper feed ing at this time. While chicks should receive no grain, mash or other solid food 48 to 60 hours, tbey can have water, fresh buttermilk or tour milk from the start. If the milk is available water is not neces sary, otherwise see that they con stantly have before them clean water into which is dissolved chick tablets. Water or milk should be given in clean shallow dlsbea or drinking fountains so arranged that the chicks cannot get Into them with their feet. After about 48 to ev notirs. give them their first teed, plac ing the food on clean paper or iu shallow trays so they can see It and learn to eat easily. Do not overfeed as it 1 extremely dangerous. Baby chicks should be fed about every tnree nours for the first two weeks and never at any time ahould they be given more than they can clean up iu about 15 minutes. It is much better to keen them hungry tnan to stuff them during thi period. Scatter a little grain aud fine grit In the litter the first day or two after you start feeding them and teach the little fellow to scratch. It they find some ot tbe grain inthe litter they will learn to scratch readily, all their grain feed should be fed In tbe litter, a exercise Is very Impor tant for baby chicks. It causes growth and warda oft disease. 1 can usually teach my chicks to scratch th second or third dsy. and then I scatter all grain In I the litter. Litter is very essential for baby chicks that are brooded in side, it is the means ot provid ing the exercise necessary (or the chicks' growth and continuous appetite. It should be dry and clean and free from mold or must. Chaff that is found In ail draw make excellent litter for chicks, in fact, 1 prefer It to i any other. Shake the chaff from the straw aud use It tor the chicks. Alfaila Is good, but It should not be as fine a dust, a that will get into the nostrils of the chicks and cause lntlammu-1 tion. Uright straw, hay or all alfa cut Into short pieces make i excelleut litter for baby chicks. I I have carried on hundreds o: : experiments during the past 16 ! years and as a result ot the knowledge thus gained, I have developed a very successful j method ot feeding baby chicks. ! Unfortunately, lack of space prevents me from incorporating. I my method In this article, al though 1 hope to give it In the next one. Should you miss the next article or desire any further Information about the handling and feeding o( baby chicks. 1 shall be glad to answer any questions addressed to me in care ot the editor ot this paper.
