Food That Will Make Baby Chicks Grow
Clemson College, May 23-Do not
stunt the growth of the young poultry
stock by underfeeding, is the advice
given by F. C. Hare, poultry husband
man of Clemson Oollege, who says it is
important for farmers to feed baby
chicks well and to continue feeding to
pullets well throughout the summer,
in order to have them in condition for
fall and winter laying, which is most
profitable. Prof. Hare gives all neces
sary feeding information in the follow
ing article:
One of the best foods for baby chicks
when they nead nourishment at 24 to
30 hours old is a mixture of two hard
boiled eggs cut up fne, two broken
crackers and a small handful of oat
meal.' Roll with the hand, mix thor
oughlv and scatter a little on a clean
card board.
But do not throw the first food in lit
ter, because it is necessary first to
teach the baby chicks what to eat.
Otherwise they will eat any small sub
stance. This applies to feeding a mix
ture of small grains as well.
Feed the egg mixture six times the
first day and four times daily thereaf
ter. Place before the chicks a shallow
box containing equal parts of wheat
bran and oatmeal. This box must be
kept filled for at least two weeks, al
lowing the chicks to eat all th; oran
oatmeal mash they desire.
On the second day, cAmmence scat
tering smali grains and seeds in one
inch litter (oat straw, shredded or cut
fodder, broken pine straw or cut alfalfa)
to make the chicks exercise. The fol
lowing is an excellent mixture of
scratching grains for baby chicks.
Equal parts cracked wheat, cracked
rice, cracked corn and millet seed, add
ed to lend variety to the food. The ob
ject of feeding small grain is to make
the chicks scratch, work and thereby
keep healthby. dry mash is to supply the
best growing foods and the more mash
the chicks eat the faster they will
grow, provided one keeps them exer
cising by scratching for grain and run
ning over a good range.
The dry mash can be changed at the
end of two weeks to this chesper mix
ture. Wheat bran, 5 pounds; wheat
middlings, 4 pounds; cotton seed mcal,
2 pounds. Total, 20 pounds. The cot
ton seed meal must be good feeding
meal, Keep this mixture dry before
'the chicks constantly.
Buttermilk and sour skim milk are
palatable and nutritious foods for baby
chicks and matu.re fowls. Give them
all they will drink and mis up once
daily a moist mash of the dry mixture
and the sour milk product.
The grain mixture may be changed
to whole wheat, cracked corn, cane
seed and other larger grains as the
chicks increase in size. Fecd the.
grain morning and evening in litter
and the dry mash in a hopper.
The only satisfactory way to supply
green feed and green range is to plough
up the ground, drop a small piece of
Bermuda grass sod every 15 inches,
turn the next furrow over the chunks
of sod and untinue until the range is
sodded. This one application will pro
duce a Bermuda sod within a year, pro
vided the soil is in a good state of fer
ITo solve the green feed problem com
pletely one has simply to harrow the
Bermuda sod in September and scat
ter over it 12 pounds per acre of burr
clover seed in the burr. This will af
ford the fowls a green winter range
.nd will eliminate for all -time the
necessity of sowing or sprouting oats
or planting rape, turnips or other veg
etatble foods.
All citizenisof the State are invited
to consult Prof. Hare about their poul
try poblems.

TAINTEDPOLITIOE
By Peter Radford.
This country is suffering more fron
tainted politics than froin any othe
malady at the present time. There i
scarcely a campaign speech made, i
platform demand written or a mee
sure enacted into law that does no
carry the taint of personal gain 0
some politician or political factiol
thereof.
There is more "blue sky" in ca=
paign promises of many politiciant
running for office than was ever con
tained in the prospectuses of-the bold
eat promoters of chimerical businesl
schemes. There are more secret co=
binations formed by politicians in th
name of "My Country" than were eve
formed under any and all othe:
aliases. There are more political re
bates hidden in the phrase "Be it en
acted" than were ever concealed um
der any and all other disguises.
The inordinate thirst for politica
power and unrestrained passion fo:
mastery has caused more distress 11
this nation than the greed for gold
and it ought to be regulated by law
No business combination ever pursuei
their competftors as relentlessly 0:
visited more heartless cruelty upoz
their customers than a political part]
that seeks to make junk of an in
dustry, or cripple a business for part3
success, through tariff measures, p
litical supervision and ofttimes de
structive legislation. Many politica
platforms are as alluring to the vote]
as the story of the rainbow with Itf
pot of gold and their consummatiol
about as far-fetched. Self-gain Is the
first law in politics. There are man]
men in office today who, if the]
could not shake plums off the tree o:
American liberty or cut a melon taker
from Uncle Sam's commissary, woult
have less desire to serve the public.

WATERED SECUITIES
By Peter Radford.
Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock In
big business concerns and the farm
rs of this nation believe that every
ollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say "I know that my Redeemer
iveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there Is more
ater in its financial transaction than
hat of any other industry. There Is
a much water in a farmer's note
rawing eight or ten per cent Interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in a business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
he face value of securities repre
senting en -investment of only fity
ents on the dollar. The only dif
ference Is, the water is in the interest
ate In one instance and in the secur
ties in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
nd his success Is contingent upon
he development of the property in
olved but the usurer, as a role, takes
o chances and his success cripples
he property involved. There may be
ndustries that cry louder but none
hat suffer more severely from finan
ial Immorality in both law and cus
om than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
aying $200,000,000 per annum in
sury on real estate and chattel
oans, and tis interest capitalized
t five per cent, represents $4,000,000r
00 of fictitious values which the farm
r is paying interest on. This sum of
oney is almost equal to the annual
alue of crops produced In the United
States.
The earning power of the farmer's
ote based upon his interest rate very
early divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body of wa
er that floats upon the financial hem
sphere now rests upon the farms
nd Its waves are dashing and its
illows are rolling against seven mil
lon homes threatening ruin and dis
ster to the prosperity of the nation.

RURAL SCHOOL TEM
SHOULD BE EXiENDE
By P. P. Claxton,
U. S. Commissioner of Education.
In most States school days I
country children are fewer than I
city children. The average length
school term in cities of the Unit
States is one hundred and eigh
five days; In rural communities 0
hundred and thirty-eight days. a d
ference of forty-seven days. In so
States the difference is much great
than this average. In many counti
the average length of the raw
school term Is less than one h%
dred days, and in some districts It
less. On the other hand, In t
States of California, New York a&
Connecticut, the country schools a
in session one hundred and eigh
days in a year, and In several oth
States almost as long. The count
schools of Rhode Island are in si
sion one hundred and ninety days
a year.
If all children are to have an eqc
opportunity for education we ma
even up the school terms of t
country and give to all country cb
dren at least as many days as a
now given to eity children. 0
hundred and eighty-five days
schooling a year for all children w
not be too much. There are col
tries in which the schools, both f
city and country, are In session fre
two hundred and twenty to two ha
dred and fifty days or more In t)
year. American children need
much education as those of any of
er country, and this applies to t]
rural as well as urban districts.
AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCI
By T. N. Carver,
Professor of Economics, Harvard Universt
Every city has its chamber of coa
merce or its Board of Trade. Tl
purpose of suCh an organization
to study economic and business c
portunities of the city and promo
enterprises which will help to bul
the city. Does any one know of
good and suffietent reason why E
ery rural neighborhood ought n
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have sui
organizations. They are general
called the "landwirthschaftsrath"
agricultural council. Some studen
of the problem of rural organizatic
are strongly of the opinion that sui
an agricultural council is necessa:
before much can be done for the be
tering of rural credit or the markE
tg of farm produce. There Is
object, for example,, in having mo:
capital in a farming neighborho<
unless the farmers know without at
guess-work just how to use .that caj
tal so as to increase the productic
and the profit of their farms. If
the leading farmers of a neighbC
hood would lay their heads togeth
and talk over the situation and stu<
the opportunities for new investme!
they arould be less likely to mal
mistakes than If they work secretl
as sepfrlie individuals.
