NOW HEADED FOR' TWIN GITY SPEEDWAY ‘With the Elgin -races over the en- tire field of American motor racing pilots with their machines are now headed for the Twin Cities for the purpose of participating in the 500- mile race at the Twin City Motor Speedway on September 4. Dario Resta, Oldfield, Cooper, Burman and all the remainder of the speed crew will be in the Twin Cities within a day or two and the whole crowd will start trying out the new two-mile concrete course just as soon as the contractors turn the project over to the company. The work on the track and stands is practically finished. Five of the stands are ready, while the concrete paving will be complete on Monday night. Retaining walls around the track are being laid and are well along and the concrete surface will be ready for the speed pilots on ‘Wednesday of the coming week. The different drivers will want several days for studying the curves and {To qualify a car must make eighty se, ¢ pecially those who are drawn in the first of the elimination contests on |, Saturday, August 28.

The car that makes the fastest time in the eliminations will have choice of position in the race. At this time it looks as if the American drivers will be out in a bunch in an attempt to defeat Dario Resta. The intrepid Italian this year has won every race in which he has started with the exception of that at Indianapolis when he finish- ed second to De Palma and carried off over $60,000 in purse money. Resta was brought to this couniry to defeat these speedy American pil- ots and he has accomplished his task so well that now the field is com- bining against him for the race of September 5.

Early Hatched Chiokens Usually Bring Highest Prices—Foeds Suggested. [Prepared by the United jStates depart- ment of agriculture.] Broilers are young chickens weigh- ing from three-quarters of a pound to two pounds apiece, the latter weight being the most common. The produc- tion of broilers as a special business has been tried without success on many poultry farms in the northeast- ern part of this country. Broilers are raised successfully, however, and at a good profit, both on poultry farms and where only a few fowls are kept, the broilers being the cockerels which are a byproduct in the raising of pullets for egg production. The general purpose breeds of fowls, such as the Plymouth Rocks, Wyan- dottes, Rhode Island Reds and Or- pingtons, produce chickens making the best broilers. These chickens should weigh from two to two and a half pounds (live weight) at eleven to thir- teen weeks of age. The Leghorns are not so well adapted for broilers, as their' chickens are smaller, but they make fair broilers, weighing from one to two pounds. All Leghorn cockerels. - evening.

CHICKEN FOR FATTENING FOR A BROILER; TO THE RIGHT, A POOR TYPE. except those saved for breeding stock, should be sold as broilers, as they are not well adapted for market after passing beyond this White chick- ens make the most attractive and éasily dressed broilers, as their pin- feathers are not so apparent when the chickens are prepared for market. The cockerels should be separated from the pullets as soon as the sex can be readily distinguished, the most promising chickens being saved for breeding stock. The sex is usually told by the development of the head points, tail and general male character- istics in the cockerels, and this re- quires some skill and practice. The chickens selected as broilers may be forced more rapidly than those ‘saved for breeding stock. Quick growth can be produced by dividing them into flocks of fifty or less and confining them to small pens for fourteen to eighteen days before they are mar-] keted. Feed in the morning and at noon a wet mash of six pounds corn- meal, four pounds low grade wheat flour and two pounds bran or mid- dlings, ‘mixed with skimmilk or but- termilk to the consistency of oatmeal porridge. If no milk Is available add one pound of beef scrap to the mash and give some green feed daily. using only enougl fer to make' a-crumbly mash. In addifion to either of these: mash feeds give all the cracked corn which the chickens will eat for the > | evening feed. Higher prices are paid for the early brollers, those hatched in-March and April, than for-those hatched in the, late spring and early summer. Pullets hatched ‘early also make the best fall and winter layers and are the most profitable, to raise. -Broilers are mar: keted both alive and dressed. Con- siderable care should be used in both dressing and shipping broilers so that-| they will reach the market in a neat, attractive condition. In finishing or fattening broilers just before’ marketing a great difference} will be found in individuals with re- spect to their ability to put on flesh. Some chickens will respond only very slowly and very unprofitably to a fat- tening feed, while others will gain rapidly and return a good profit for the feed consumed. The good feeders will be the birds with short, stout, well curved beaks, broad heads, bright, clear eyes, deep, broad breasts and well spread legs and will, in general, give every indication of being vigorous and thrifty. The poor feeders will show oppo%lte characteristics, notably long beaks and crow heads, dull eyes, nar- row breasts” and close set legs and also will show lack of vigor and thrift. - The selection of only those chickens of the better feeding type for finishing will give greater average gains and profit and a more -uniform, attractive lot of broilers, while the culling of the birds of poor type and their marketing with no attempt at fattening or finishing may often be desirable, SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES (Ceatinued from first page).
