Selecting the Best Feed* For '? Chicks. ' - A test by Prof. Harry R. Lewis, formerly at New Jersey State Uni versity, shows the results with dried buttermilk and semi-solid butter milk. The semi-solid, we judge, re tains more of lactic acid. Using two lots of 900 chicks each. Mr. Lewis gave a ll chicks a standard grain ra tion of equal parts fine cracked corn, cracked wheat and steel-cut oats up to the fifth week, then working grad ually to equal parts cracked corn, whole wheat and oats. From the first, the mash was made up of 300 pounds of wheat bran, 200 of middlings, 100 of ground oats, 100 of gluten feed, and 100 of meat scr?ps.F cr one group there was add ed 100 pounds of dried buttermilk powder. The other group had same weight of semi-solid buttermilk, fed during first week of brooding dis solved in water as drink, one part of buttermilk to eight parts of water, gradually reducing water. At broiler age it is given in paste form "smear ed on brooder and house wall from which they eat it clean." At the end of the ninth week males were sold as broilers, and pullets were put into laying quarters. The butter milk lot of broilers averaged 1.45 pounds. The dry lot mortality was 9.2 per cent, and there were 362 broil ers and 57 culls. The semi-solid group averaged 1.47 pounds, with 7.4 per cent mortality, 26 culls and 398 broilers. The 410 semi-solid pullets averaged 3.21 pounds and the 398 dry pullets averaged 3.17 pounds. The pullets for November gave an egg production of 14.9 per cent for semi solid group, and 1 3.3 per cent for the dry group. In feeding skimmilk to young chicks, a milk-fed cockerel weighed 6% pounds at five months, a water fed cockerel, same breed and hatch weighed 2% pounds.. From the above formulas, our readers can find some to fit almost any locality. When cows are kept the natural forms of milk can he used. When a home supply of milk is lack ing, we advise tha commercial butter milk. 'We also strongly urge the use of yellow corn except where white plumaged fowls are being fitted for shows. It is far richer in vitamines and in zanthaphyll, giving better col or to skin and to egg yolks.-Pro gressive Farmer. Mattress-Unsafe for Money. . The bank is the woman's good friend; she should keep an open ac count there and keep adding to it. The habit of tucking a few dollars here and there is bad. A thousand . things may happen to it. The following is taken from this morning's paper but it might just as well be about your savings as his if you keep your money at home. "Will Jones, an industrious man, who works a farm just outside of town, and his wife, Maude, are poor er but wiser today from the loss of $810 that went up in smoke when their home burned last night. "They h?d worked hard and saved their money, gradually adding a dol lar or two to the pile, until quite a tidy sum had been stuffed in the old mattress, which was. the only bank they trusted. "At last they had enough for their supreme purpose-that of building another floor and remodeling their house. Today Will intended taking the money to M. G. Brown for the lumber, but j providence a?$s in a queer and mysterious way, especial ly for Will and Maude, for last night a blaze took their entire savings and they now sadly regret that they had not put it in the bank where 'money is safe from fire,' or at least where someone else is responsible." Had Will and, Maude put their money in the bank it would have grown to the amount of $150 or $200. It would have been practically safe from fire. Their lives would have been safer for thieves are often desperate men. It would have been a pleasant ex cuse to go to town to deposit -me money. It would have been an incentive to save and for others to help them. Will and Maude would have had a little home for their declining years. . "It is a wise person who profits by the mistakes of others."-Progress ive Farmer. The Lawyer's Boy. A certain lawyer who had always been a religious man denied all his -early beliefs when his beautiful girl1 wife, whom he deeply loved, died in giving birth to a son. "What right had God to take.her from.me?" he cried .again and again. He became an atheist, a cynic who -delighted in assailing the faith of oth ers. Often in argument with guests at his home he would pooh-pooh the idea of immortality. "When you're _ dead," he would say, "you're dead ?as a doornail." Meanwhile his soon grew up in the care of the housekeeper. Though the boy saw little of his father, he fre quently overheard his conversations j and arguments. One day the house- \ keeper asked to speak to the lawyer. The boy had learned to swear. "You must talk to him, sir/' she said. - "Send him to me," replied the I lawyer. J "? few minutes later father and son looked at each other. '"How like my j dead and gone Lucy the boy looks!" J i thought the father. He spoke sternly! to the boy of his fault and then sent j him away. But the housekeeper came again and again with the same complaint. At last, seeking in desperation for| some argument that would appeal to ^the boy, the lawyer said. "You know, my boy, that if your mother were j alive she wouldn't like to hear you [ talk like that." 'But mother isn't alive," the boy replied glibly. "Shes' dead as a door nail." The words struck to the heart of J the embittered man; all his being seemed to surge up in protest against such wrods from the lips of his wife's son ! He leaped- to his feet. "She is not dead!" he cried. "Boy, your moth- : er is alive and hears every word you ^ utter!" He paused and then added, "I have been a wicked fool and have spoken what is not true. Come, my boy, we'll begin again and from now on see more of each other. Lei tis live j in a way that is worthy of her!" Youths' Companion. ' Home Town Commandments. 1. Thou shalt love thy home town above all other towns. Thou shalt be loyal .tocher people and her institu tions. 2.

Thou shalt honor thy commu nity institutions. Thou shalt work to gether with thy neighbors with all hy heart and strength and mind. Thou shalt work together in thy or ganizations and clubs for the com mon welfare. Thy leaders shalt thou learn to obey. Thou shalt serve on committees where thou are put and not intrude on committees where thou art not.put. Thus thou shalt know one another better, thy work prosper and thy friendship multiply. 9. Thou shalt be a good neighbor to all who live in thy home town, whether they be rich of poor. Thou shalt speak ill' of none and good of many.

Thou shalt bring them there. Thou shalt offer thyself to thy spiritual leader for the service of God and thy com munity. So shall ye win many battles ] together-F. Eastman, Sandford Her ald, Fla. Krupps to "Farm" in Russia. London.--The Krupps, who used to make the kaiser's great guns and who have "beaten their swords into plowshares," in conjunction with a big German agricultural machinery company, are going into a vast grain producing scheme in Southern Rus sia. Such is the information which has reached London from Russia. This project ? involves a. tract ox 135,0.00 acres in the Cossack country and marks the first move on the part of the big German interests to em bark upon land cultivation in Russia. The Krupp representatives and ex perts received the great encourage ment while in Russia and it is believ ed by next year there may be-a move to extend the cultivation of grain to i tract of 5 million acres. It is suggested also that the Ger mans may be encouraged to under take the cultivation of cotton in Turkestan, where, it is asserted, the use of modern agricultural machin jry would make it possible to raise more cotton than is produced in Egypt and India combined, and would make both Russia and Germany less dependent upon American cotton. I Am Your Town. Make of me what you will-I shall reflect you as clearly as a mirror throws back a candle beam. If I am pleasing to the eye of the stranger within my gates; if I am such a sight as, having a?en me, he .viii remember me all his days as a :hing of beauty, the credit is yours. Ambition and opportunity call some of my sons and daughters to ligh tasks and mighty privileges, to ny greater honor and to my good re pute in far places, but it is not chief y these who are my strength. My strength is in those who remain, who ire content . with what I can offer ;hem, and with what they can offer me .It was the greatest of all Ro mans who said: "Better be first in a little Iberian village than be second n Rome." i I am more than wood, brick and stone, more even than flesh and blood-I am the composite soul of ill who call me Home.

Beer and Light Wines are the Entering Wedge. The Newberry Observer, whose ed itor has grown old and gray as a vet eran fighter for prohibition, is undis turbed over the desperate tactics of the "wets" on the theory that no amendment to the United State?lcon stitution has ever been repealed or amended. True, but every bad cause has a beginning. Beer and light wines don't fool those who look below the surface; but the dust is carefully kicked into many eyes. It is the entering wedge.
