There are noapples on the cellar shelf at the season of year for sprouting potatoes. Years ago the Furrows family quit buying sugar by the package.

In every village, town and city may be found a small army of consumers that, insofar as farm products are con- cerned, are not producers.

Mr. Jackson is conceded even by Republicans to be an able lawyer and a man of well-balanced judicial, mind. His ciates of the Bates county bar have conceded the field to him, and it is rather unfortunate that there should be rivalry from Henry county, which now has congressman and supreme judge.

Don’t be in haste to feed the young chicks. Twenty-four hours after the last egg hatches is the earliest mo- ment for feed. Forty-eight or even seventy-two hours may be none too late. This little organism must have time to assimilate the egg yolk which nature provides for its first nourish- ment. This is like the colostrum or cow's first milk, for the calf. If it is not properly utilized indigestion and disease may result. For the first few days feed every three hotirs and with great regularity. This is to prevent over-eating. Bread crumbs dipped in milk and squeezed till they crumble make a good feed. Don’t use dough orwet mashes. Stale bread crumbled fine is Some of the dry com- mercial foods are also good. As the chicks develop their feed should come at longer intervals and they may have cracked corn, wheat and other grains. Some give millet seeds, but these are doubtful since millet injuries horses by affecting the kidneys.
