DEATH AMONG YOUNG CHICKS
ttOBnoctlcut 8tatlon Recommends the
j Use of 8kim Milk u Best Preventive
of Disease.
(By N. E. CHAPMAN, Poultry Specialist,
University Farm. Bt. Paul. Minn.)
One of the main causes of death |
among chicks is white diarrhea. This |
Ss very prevalent and investigations
have shown conclusively that the orig- (
lnal source is often from parent stock.
Many chicks have the disease when ]
hatched, and others contract It from (
them, through feed and forage in in- j
fected litter or grounds. This trans- ]
mission from chick to* chick is com- ,
mon during the first three or four days, ,
and this is the period of great danger, j
especially among chicks of low vital- }
ity. j
The symptoms are a whitish dls- j
charge from the vent, which results ]
In "pasting op behind." The chicks
become listless and sleepy, lose appetite,
the feathers become ruffled,
breathing labored, and they constantly
peep or chirp. They may die suddenly
tiually waste away,
disease is being most carefully
gated by the agricultural experstation
at Storrs, Conn., and the
eport of tbefr investigations has
published. This report recomthe
feeding of sour milk as the
ling to use for a preventive of
isease. It advocates feeding
ilk from the very first and keepbefore
the chicks constantly,

the milk is an anl oduct
which chicks require in

Numerous experiments have
strated that skim milk and
^ curds, or cottage cneese, are among
the most stimulating feeds for poultry f
of all kinds, except very young chicks. 1
Many claim that sweet milk is much ^
safer until the chicks are at least a 1
week or ten days old. There is a con- 1
stant supply on nearly,every farm and *
It should be universally used for the '
farm flock. '

I HER OWN COMFORT :
! By CECILIA HAMBURG. J

"You did!" cried Johnny Philbig, tumultuously.
"Didn't!" asserted Georgie Drigga,
emphatically. And then the fight was
on.
It raged down the sidewalk and
around the corner, and for a time the
game of marbles was abandoned and
forgotten. On the cement walk the
little glass spheres reposed quietly,
twinkling and waiting. They had not
long to wait. .
Down the steps of the Philbig home
came Philbig himself, tall, immaculate
and with head carried high. His pol
Isbed shoe, descending on a red and
white marble, shot into the air Just
as though it had been an ordinary, unBhlned,
day-laborer shoe. Philbigs
head hit the ground a whack that
echoed.
There was chaos in hie brain when
he rose. The disturbing of his personal
dignity was an insult that stirred Philbig
to the depths and moreover his
bat was dented, his coat was dusty
and one glove was split. This wae in
addition to the physical pain that he
felt. His fall having scattered the
marbles, Philbig was unable to determine
the cause of the disaster. He
limped on his way with smothered
rage within his breast
"Hello, old man!" said Billlcks at
:he station and 6lapped Philbig on the
shoulder.
In a quieter condition of mind Philbig
would have let Billicks knock him
lown amd would have pretended to like
f for PViilhic wan aniline for a huee
irder from Billick's firm, and had already
planned what to do with the
profit. But just now his nerves were
)n edge. So he whirled away angrily
"rom the too-familiar hand. "Goodnorning,
sir!" he snapped and stalked
iff.
"Grouch!" said Billicks to himself,
ndignantly. Several times on the way
;o town he repeated the word. Later
n the day when the order came up
or discussion and the senior member
jaid he'd like to throw it to a friend
>f his Billicks told him to go ahead, I
aecause it made absolutely no di-fferrnce
to him whether Pbilbig got it or
lot
Shortly after her husband's dlsas:rous
exit from home Mrs. Philbig sailed
forth to attend to the day's marketing.
"O-o-ueh!" moaned Mrs. Philbig
vhen her thin-soled pump landed upon
i particularly vicious little marble that
lad rolled to the edge of the inside
ivalk. She hopped on one foot and
ooked for the trouble maker, but it
iad sped away into odiivjou.
As sh9 hopped she chanced to ob- j
lerve between the window curtains
icross the street the face of Mrs. i
Jriggs, who was frankly laughing at |
he funny figure Mrs. I'hilbig made. A I
>tout woman hopping on one foot with j
:he other foot tenderly nursed in her
land is rather amusing. Mrs. I'hilbig
tiiew this, and it added to her confusion
and wrath.
"Cat!" she said in the direction of
Mrs. Driggs. "I had begun to think
she was a rather decent neighbor, bu: !
his shows what she is actually like. I
hall blackball her this afternoon when j
ler name is voted on at the club. It j
s my duty to the community!"
Blackball Mrs. Driggs she did, and'
Mrs. Drugs' be st friend saw her do it.
?nd told .Mrs. Driggs. That offended ;
ivcmn said. "That settles it!" and ini'npdiatrlv

say Bhe was dying to get. And it wai

"Hffld a frightful day!" Philbig toll
his wife, gloomily, when he cami
home to dinner.
"Don't mention it!" she returnei
mournfully. "So have I! What d<
you think? That hateful Driggs worn
an signed the lease today for tha
apartment we have Just decided we'<

"Don't weep over that!" said hei
husband, grimly. "For there won't b<

tically promising that order to me
switched over and gave it to Smith!
There goes $7,000 in profits. We'll b(

"Why should we have such dreadfu

Parson Rose to the Occasion.
Uncle Jim Su^arfoot killed a fine
rabbit for the entertainment of Par
son Heavegrace, who was expected tc
dinner, but as rabbits were out ol
season he thought to avoid what might
prove an embarrassing situation by
makin the parson think it was
chicken.
"Brother Heavegrace," said Uncle
Jim, when it came time for a second
helping, "what paht of de bird would
you like now?"
With a merry twinkle In his halfclosed
eyes Parson Heavegrace replied:
"If you all don' mind Ah think Ah'll
take de gizzard."
