The often reccomended variety of :ooked food for chicks is a waste of abor and of valuable time. They vant nothing of the kind, and egg lustard, baked cakes, and such foods ire not at all required. Simply iracked wheat and rather coarse cornneal. with a little finely chopped meat iccasionally, are all that the chicks leeil wheu ihey are confined in yard9 ; therwise the last mentioned will uot le necessary. The first few days after latching, the cracked wheat may be teeped in water, but after that the ilain food only will be needed. Pure loiter should be given several times a lay. The less fussing there is over hick9 the better for them. It i9 in obeying Jesus, and in doing yhat he tells us to do, that we realize lis power, and that we gain the reults of trusting and serving him.
