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. Davis Station. Noses Anderson colored, was found dead in his bed at his home on last Sat urday morning.

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. The country Is surfeiting with patri ots, who will bare their breast to bul lets In defense of their country, bul there are few men in public life whc will bare their breast to voters or run the gauntlet of party disfavor in de fense of agriculture or industry. Nc representative of the people, who wit permit personal prejudice to dethrone justice, party success to disfranchise reason or the rancor of a political campaign to influence judgment can render capable service. The preservation of our prosperity depends upon wisdom, courage and honesty in government, and the Amer ican voter should seek these att butes as implicitly as the Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem and they will often be found to rest over the stabla; the plow or the staf of E rt The surest eure for atad 01190 bnd machine rule Is ftresh air and sunshine and these Im portant elements are most abundant upon the farm, and when farmers, bankers and merchants are elected to membership in legislative bodies, much of the trouble in government wii !is appear. 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. ill our public servants who under tand how to drain the liquid off in ustrial properties turn the faucet and let the water off the farms?

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.
