Schmitt’s Store Pioneer Office Barker’s GOLORS OF NEWLY HATGHED CHIGKENS People who buy pure bred eggs for hatching the first time are much sur- prised, when the young chicks come, to find that they are not all of a uniform color, says the Kansas Farmer. Two or three parties have written to us ‘complaining about the matter and say- ing they have been swindled by having common eggs thrust upon them in place of pure breds. One of them had bought White Wyandotte eggs and some dark colored chicks appeared. Another purchased Rhode Island Red eggs, and various colored chicks came. Both believe they have been swindled out of their money. But the fact is that there is uniformity in color in but few of the pure bred chicks when first hatched. Hardly any of them look like their parents or as they themselves will look when they get their adult feathers. White fowls such as White Wyan- dottes and White Plymouth Rocks throw chicks that are sometimes de- cidedly dark in color, but they will change and in six weeks' time they will be altogether different in color and eventually will become pure white. In their native country—England —the Dorkings are considered the perfection of table fowls, but in the United States they are not so popu- lar, being bred principally for exhi- 'y are not considered so an breeds. There are es of Dorkings—White, Silver Gray and Colored. The bird shown is a Silver Gray Dorking cock., —_— Black fowls, on the other hand, such as Black Langshans and Black Cochins throw chicks that are light in color, but when they get their adult feathers they are perfectly black. Barred Plymouth Rocks throw chicks that are black and white and show no sign of the barring that they will certainly have when they are full grown. The longer a breed is established the more likelihood of uniformity in the color of the progeny. But the newer varieties, such as Rhode Island Reds, Columbian Wyandottes, etc., throw chicks of a decided off color, but are nevertheless pure bred stock. So do not complain of the color of the chicks until they are two or three months old. The chances are that by that time you will be satisfied with the color. Chickens Need Abundant Water. Chickens are not given enough water, as a rule. They are usually watered once a day, in the morning, and by the afternoon are out of water. After heavy feeding of grain, hens must have water to soften and assimilate it, and espe- cially should they have plenty of wa- ter before they go to roost. An egg contains 85 per cent water, so if a hen is deprived of a sufficient quantity of this necessity she cannot lay as many eggs as she otherwise would. Sow Sunflowers In Hen Yard. If you have no shade in your poultry yards it would be well to be thinking about the matter in time. Sow some Russian sunflower seed, and you will have shade by the time hot weather comes, besides something in the shape of feed when the seeds get ripe, for hens are very fond of sunflower seed. Another quick growing plant that woulldl make good shade is the castor bean. It grows into a fine large bush in a short while. Culling the Poultry Flock. ‘While culling should be carried on every month in the year, yet the months of September and October are the best culling months. You can then pick out your most promising young: sters, stort training and conditioning for the showroom; also the undevelop- ed pullets will be easy to pick out from the precocious ones, which are the birds to keep for the breeding pens.— American Poultry Journal. s ol ol ol e oo oo o sl oo e fe e e b fo oo +* POULTRY PICKINGS. * + Gather the eggs often and keep them in a cool, dry place all the < time until they are sold.

HUNGRY GERMANY WAITS ON CROPS, WRITES SHEPHERD (Continued from Page 1) shop window many persons stopped to look at it. The shooting. of pigeons in the streets or on-the rooftops is severely punished but it is said that the pigeon | population iz being rapidly dimin- during the day while it rested in the| in recent celebrations have com- mented on the number of pigeon traps they have seen on the roofs of office buildings. On this account there is a joke current in Berlin that the porters of office.buildings have the best fed families in the city. " Soldiers Get Food. Undoubtedly Germany has food— beef, pork, fats, oils and most of the other edibles that makes eating worth while;: Where do they go? Who gets them? The soldiers. Behind the German lines are cattle sheds, always full of live stock. From all I hear in Rot- terdam, the German soldiers have no complaint to make of their food. A civilian in Germany these days is'an incubus. More or-less, he must feed himself and his family as bést he can. . The next three months, until crop time will of course be the hardest of the year for German civilians. They are struggling along with last year’s leavings. All Germany is waiting with bated breath, to see how the autumn crops turn out. GREAT BRITAIN A NATION OF MILITARISM (By United Press) London, June 24.—Great Britain today became a national militarism. All but a neglible quantity of male Britishers between the ages of 18 and 41 today automatically became soldiers for the duration of the war under the military compulsion act. They are the army of reserve and will become trained units as fast as the military authorities can put them through the necessary steps. It is estimated that upwards of 600,000 are thus added to the mili- tary forces. Between 350,000 and 400,000 are youths under nineteen. BAUDETTE FIREMEN HURT AT RAINY RIVER Baudette, Minn., June 24.—Charles ‘Wubbens and Robert Willett, mem- bers of the Baudette fire department, narrowly escaped death at Rainy River Wednesday, when -they were BEMIDJI SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1916. carried down by the walls of the Tyne building, which collapsed dur- ing a fire. Mr. Wubbens was buried under the debris and he escaped with a gash six inches long in one of his legs. Mr. Willett receiyed a nasty gash over the eye and his hand was severely lacerated. A falling chim- new weighing a ton barely missed the two men. The fire destroyed the store and contents, but good work by the Baudette and Rainy River de- partments saved adjoining buildings. Messrs: Wubbens: and Willett are under a doctor’s care, but their in- juries are not serious. *HOW TO ANSWER BLIND ADS.
