THE PBOPER FEED i’ FOR GROWING CHICKENS As soon as chickers will eat whole wheat, cracked corn and other grains the small sized chick feed can be eliminated. In addition to the abbve feeds the chickens' growth can be hastened if they are given sour milk, skim milk or butter- milk to drink. Growing chickens kept on a good range may be given all their feed in a hopper, mixing two pgrts by weight of cracked comn with one part of wheat, or equal] parts of cracked corn, wheat and oats in one hopper and the dry mash in another. ‘The beef scrap may be left out of the dry mash and fed in.a separate hopper, 8o that the chickens can eat all of this feed they desire. If the beef scrap is to be fed separately it is advisable to wait until the chicks are 10 days old, the poultry division of khe United States de- | partment of agriculture advises, although many poultrymen put the beef serap be-| fore the young chickens at the start with- out bad results. . Chickens confined to small yards should always be supplied with green feéd. Fine chareoal, grit and oyster shell should be kept before the chickens at all times, and cracked or ground bone may be fed where the chickens are kept in small, bare yards, but the latter feed is not necessary for chickens that have a good range. TWO DISEASES TO WATCH. Cucumbers and muskmelons sometimes have mysterious complaints and get the dying habit without any apparent cause. The two commonest of these ailments are “wilt” and “downy mildew.” The latter is the most destructive pest in the way of a plant disease that hits the cucurbits, as the members of the family are known. Tt is & fungus disease and Bordeanx mixture is the remedy. It is an excellent idea,to be on the safe side and give the cuke!‘ and melons & good spraying with Bor- deaux as soon as they start to run. It Q! NO DOPE-NO ACETANILIDE TRY IT AND BE COMFORTABLE UDINE IT'S UGVID - QUICK EFFECT is mueh easier than ‘atacking the disease after it appears. The symptoms are angular spots of the leaves, which ae first are not well defined, but later assume distinet form, the older leaves turning yellow and the small leaves at the ends of the vine going last. The under side of the leaves will $how a faint purplish covering on these spots. This pest often does not appear at all. Again it will raise havoc. It generally appears the latter half of the summer. It is 2 good plan to use a little preventive. ‘Wilt, just as its name denotes, is a general droop of the foliage of the vine, which dies without any apparent good reason. An'insect carries this spore which causes the trouble by clogging the veins of (h; plant. Bordeaux with some arsenate in’combination is the remedy for this trouble. Leaf blight sometimes attacks musk- | melons and makes short work of them. | It appears .in the shape of round spots ‘which rapidly increase in size. Bordeaux spraying is the remedy. . A wise gardener will spray his melons and cucumbers once every 10 days with | Bordeaux mixture as soon as they begin | to make vine, The young growth should | be sprayed with care. Whole erops may be saved by this preventive work. WHEN TO CUT DOWN ASPARAGUS. The cutting of asparagus for the table should end about the middle of June at the latest in order that the plant may | make a top growth and store up strength | for the succeeding season. Seedling as- | varazys plants often become a nuisance | around asparagus beds birds carrying the | =eeds or children stringing them and | scattering them about. so that hefore one | knows it an asparagus is established and lit is a hard job to delve for an asparagus once it gets a good start, for the | roots go deep. | The time to cut off the tons is just as the berries begin to turn red and before | they have had a chance to ripen sufficfent- |ly to fall from the plant. Take away | the tqps and burn them as soon as they { have died sufficiently and spread the | ashes on some vegetable or flower hed | for their fertilizing con content. | CONSERVATION OF PLANT FOOD. 1 Having always been blessed with rich, | fertile soil, and lots of it, gardeners of ! | the United States have fallen behind the Irext of the world in what is generally but a beautiful skin is pos sible only when the liver and kidneys are active, and the bowels functionate properly. The secret of beauty as well as of health is to maintain perfect digestion and elimination.
