EVANSTON, ILLINOIS | | loses FEED YOUNG GUINEA CHICKS Fowls Are Natural Rangers and Do Not Require as Much as Ordinary Chickens. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Guinea chicks are fed in much the same way as chickens, but they re- quire less feed as they are natural rangers und can be trusted enough seeds of weeds and grasses, bugs, insects and green vegetation in the fields to supply much of their liv- ing. For the first 86 hours after hatch ing no feed is required, as the sus tenance from the is sufficient to nourish them for this period. The first meal may consist of a little hard-boiled egg mixed with bread crumbs, or bread | may be soaked in milk, squeezed part ly dry, and fed in small bits. Clab bered milk also ts very good. i= Three times a day is as often as they need to be fed, one feed consist ing of clabbered milk or the bread and egg or bread and inilk mixture, and the other two of chick feed. If th coop is ced in a field or pasture where n feed is available, the secure this for them otherwise, sprouted oats, dan delion leaves, lettuce, or onion tops eut fine should be furnished, say poultry specialists of United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Water, grit and tine oyster shell should be before them always. By the end of the first week the young guineas will be finding enough guinea ¢ selves ; | Guineas Pick Up Much of Their Food in the Shape of Bugs and Weeds. | worms and insects to take the place of the egg or milk feed, so this may be eliminated and chick feed given morn. ing and night. If elabbered milk ts available, however, it can be continued with excellent success, since guineas | are very fond of variety in their ration and it is conducive to quick growth. As the birds grow older, whole wheat, oats and cracked corn can be sub stituted gradually for the chick feed. CARING FOR BREEDING FLOCK lf Fowls Are Overrun With Lice or Mites, Fertility Will Be Seri- ously Affected. The breeding flock should be watched to see that the fowls keep in condition. If they are overrun with lice or niites the fertility will be af- fected seriously Or destroyed. Care is to be used, too, to see that the male doesn’t get his comb or wattles frost- ed. If the rooster’s comb or wattles are frozen to any extent, bis ability ns a breeder will be impaired, and may not be recovered for several weeks, When the weather is very cold the males intended for breeding should be placed at night in a box or erate partly covered with a bag or cloth. It is a good idea, too, to ex- amine his majesty occasionally at night to see that his crop is full, and that he is not going thin—if he runs at large. Roosters sometimes ure so gallant that they allow the hens to eat all the food, with the result that they get out of condition. If this hap- pens the rooster should be caught at least once a day and fed separately from the hens, SPROUTED OATS IN SUMMER Succulent Properties Do Much to Maintain Egg Production Dur- ing Whole Year. It will pay to continue the feeding of sprouted oats to the laying hens throughout most of the summer. There is only a short time in the spring when full advantage can be taken of natural green feed. It soon its succulent properties, how- ever, and it will be an advantage to return to sprouted oats. It will do as much to maintain the egg produe- tion during the summer as silage does to maintain milk flow in the fall and | winter. INCREASED PROFIT ON EGGS Where Graded Properly and Quality Maintained Higher Price ts Al- ways Obtained. If market eggs were graded and | quality maintained on the way to mar- ket, the yalue would be increased at least five cents a dozen. This would put a large additional sum in the pockets of producers, while greatly In- creasing the reputation of shippers in the markets of the nation. a urea ee to find | ECONOMY IN PRODUCTION Economy in production does not mean neglect of crop. It does mean the exercise of good judgment in the selection of the field, in the prepara- tion of the seed bed, in seed selection, | in cultivation and in gathering the crop. It is possible for a farmer to | spend too much labor on a crop, but | this mistake is seldom made. More | often production cost is increased by | the cultivation of too large an acreage and the consequent neglect of the es- sentials necessary to large acre yields, The man who devotes time to proper plowing and harrowing, and who spends money for good seed and fer- tilizer, more often has a lower produc- tion cost than the man who hurries with his plowing; who plants any kind | of seed at hand and who lets nature | take its course without spending a dollar to help ber along. Conditions which make possible a large acre yield are the same as help make quality of | product, and the larger the yield and the better the quality, the lower the cost of production. * This rule is gen- eral, says Farm and Ranch. It is proven by the exceptions to It. A man living in a Western city of 100,000 people has figured out fhe fact that all of the theaters in the entire community won't hold one-tenth, or 50,000, of these citizens. He included moving-picture houses in his estimate of the seating capacity of the theaters. Then he collected statistics relating to the dance-hulls and discovered that they won't accommodate more than 10,- 000. He submits these figures to prove that folks to-day are not all spending their time away from their homes. His figures are interesting but unneces- sary, says Colliers. Jump into a car some evening about 9 o’cloek and drive around the residential districts. The lights you'll see in the windows will show you where people are. In a young, undeveloped country, the surface of which has scarcely been scratched, unemployment is an eco- nomic absurdity which sane statesman- ship should lose no time in removing, says the Auckland (N. Z.) News. There is one infallible way of creating em- ployment in New Zealand. It Is by bringing new land under cultivation. One farmer averagely creates work for two and one-half men in the towns, and if it be assumed that each adult male has an average of three depend- ents, each tarm won from the bush provides a living for 14 persons. Here, then, 1s the ideal form of unemploy- ment insurance, and here is the royal road to national prosperity. The non-co-operators have placed one Issue and one only before the coun- try—it is the choice between the rule of law and the chaos of no law, says the Times of India. There has not been, there could not be any hesitation in the action of the government. They must elther pursue the policy they have marked out for the protection of the citizen and maintenance of law or resign the government of the country to Mr, Gendhi and Mr. Das; there is a ehoice before the people of India and that is between the ordered evqlution of the Indian constitution and revolu- tion, . That the clear-cut and irrevo- cable nature of this choice is com- pletely understood is unfortunately not the case. The bureau of foreign and domes- tie commerce has found through statistics that there are 71 colleges and universities in this country now that offer special training for foreign service. -A total enrollment for the ten institutions, each having more than 100 students taking foreign trade: subjects, gives a registration of 2,255 students, The University of Washing- ton, Seattle, heads the list with 407 students and New York university ts second with 401 students. By the most capable statisticians It is estimated that 5,762,398 young, old and middle-aged men and women, ns well as flappers, will try to go to sleep with their hands folded behind ther | heads and thelr ankles crossed im or- der ge “dream true” as the result of a | popular moving picture which gives this infallible recipe. Springtime is the constructive sea- son of the year. All nature is engaged in preparation for production. How fitting would it be if all men, not some of them, vied with nature in making | Breatest effort to give business and | Industry the largest possible degree of activity. It’ will be one hundred years from last Washington's birthday before the date ean again be written “2-22-22.” On that date, also, it is rumored, prom- ises made by some recent. get-rich- | quick schemes will be made good. It ts said that women will have to show their ears in the coming spring styles of hairdressing. Even a “straw- berry” or a mole will have no privacy if present tendencies continue. The women of England, we are in- formed, smoke 1,000,000 cigarettes a day. Not that it’s any of our busi- jress, especially as they seem to be | doing pretty well in other lines, too. aa = ee re ee GOVERNED BY STRICT RULES | | Etiquette That Must Be Observed | When Calling on the “First Lady of the Land.” Tn an article published in the De- | lineator on “White House Parties” | Margaret Wade, dean of Washington society editors, tells what one must do if she wishes to call on the wife of the President of the United States. “The procedure for the average | visitcr is to leave a card at the big | front door,” says this authority. “Every card is supposed to be duly catalogued and ultimately acknowl- edged by an invitation to a garden | party, reception, musicale or tea. In- | vitations to dinner are decided by official reasoys, in which the invita- tion seeks the guest. | “Following the leaving of the card dr cards—one of her own and two of her husband’s, as he is sup- posed to be calling on the President and President’s wife—the visiting lady goes home and writes a note to | | the social secretary, or, if the ac- | quaintance warrants it, to the Presi- | dent’s wife, asking if she may have | the honor of calling in person. “These written requests are rarely denied, the custom of past adminis- trations, as well as of today, being to send an engraved card bearing the | seal of the United States and the | name of the President’s wife.” EXPLAINED Louise—I became engaged to Mr. Long last night. And just think; we've been together only three times. Uncle Ned—I see; well, that’s the reason. | WANTED BY THE CONSTABLE Several years ago, when I was quite a young girl, at my mother’s home in the country one évening we saw the township constable coming up our lane. My two sisters began to get excited for fear my younger brother had been into some mischief, but I was quite calm and felt im- patient with them and told them to just wait till they had something to worry over. | My older brother talked to him awhile and then came to the kitchen door and told me I was the one who was wanted. | The constable was a bashful young man, but managed to ask to take me | to an entertainment at our church. I refused as politely as I could, but being bashful myself I don’t know who was the more embarrassed.—Ex- change. NECESSITY THE MOTHER, ETC. Little Virginia, aged three, of | South State avenue, is not to be non- | plused when caught doing what her mother teaches her that she should | not do. Not long ago Virginia and | her Aunt B—— were visiting Vir- | ginia’s grandparents. At the dinner | table Virginia used the spoon as | long as she was being watched. When | Aunt B——’s watchfulness returned to the child after a temporary ab- sence Virginia was using her fingers with speed. “You mustn’t use your fingers,” Aunt B-—— corrected. “But the | spoon is just simply worn out,/Aunt B——,” was the child’s reply.—In- | dianapolis News. EAST INDIAN COTTON MILLS Although the ancient handicrafts | are still carried on to some extent, the most important hand industry in India is cotton weaving. Power | mills, which were established by Eu- | ropeans, are now mostly owned by natives. In 1919-1920, there were 263 cotton mills working in British India and native states. There were 76 jute mills, almost all being sit- uated in or near Calcutta; nine paper mills; seven woolen mills, and a number of other factories, besides breweries. | fl DIAMOND TIRES Tal none Geek ia Increase Your eat Yield CLOSE “inspection of your winter wheat fields just after the snow has left the ground will reveal to you many cracks that break the soil away from the roots of the young wheat plants and which permit moisture to escape. And J if you could look below the surface and examine a cross- section of the seed bed you'd find also that in many places the frost has lifted the surface soil from the sub- soil, leaving air spaces between the gubsoil and seed bed. These air pockets prevent moisture from rising from the subsoil reservoir and starve the plants. A Dunham Culti-Packer will close up the cracks, press down frost humps, firm the soil around the roots, practically resetting each dislocated plant—and will fill up the air pockets, re-establishing contact between the subsoil and see bed. And because it repairs in this way the damage done by the frost, . r a Dunham Culti-Packer will prevent a considerable amount of winter killing, thereby increasing the yield of winter wheat. This is not theory but a proved fact. The Dunham Culti-Packer is also of exceptional value in prepar- ‘ ing a seed bed for spring crops. It crushes the hard lumps, fills air pockets, and packs loose soil, preventing soil-blowing. Also valuable as an alfalfa renovator. Come in and examine the Culti-Packer that we have set up for your inspection. It will interest you. . Our shipment of Certified Grimm Alfalfa seed arriv- ed which we are selling for $46.00 per cwt.
