Act·ording to a report !~sued by the IUtly-America society. automobile racing at break-neck speed Is a major S[JOrt in Italy, rivaling even socce1· In popularity. Thousnnds of fans ~c:>e the races held In all parts of the country. particularly near 1\Iilan, where tlle "llonza classit•," world-famous, Is an annual trent. Recently the best ma· chines and the fastest drivers in Italy took part in a thousand-mile race, whicll was won by Camparl, Italian champion. Campari scored an average of 70 miles an hour, not on a raee track, but on country roads-a real record when one considers the handicnps nnd the obstacles In this type of racing. The 1\Ionza classic Is open to for· eigners a~=; well as to Italians, but the latter have been winning so consistently that foreign entries are becoming fewer and fewer each year. Campm·l hns won the national championship twice and is easily the best road racer In the world. A few years ago he won the Gmnd Prix nt Lyon, bent· ing the most famous of his Em·opean competitors. Italy Is fast becoming a sporting nation. Besides auto and bil;e racing, soccer, basket ball and track, anoth· er rapidly-growing sport is boxing. A recent national championship drew 5!>,000 fans. Italian boys make splendirl fighters-as Americans well know. They have stamina, speed ond courage. The Italian public, youthful, vigorous and enterprising, loves the ele. ment of contest. It Is an inheritan<"e from the days of old, when Romans packed the Coliseum and made national heroes of their athletes. Surely It Is a good sign. Spraddle legs and deformity among baby chicks are usually a result of the eggs having been kept too loag before incubation. Eggs are at their best when only four days old and depreciate at a rate of approximately 5 per cent dally after they are one week old. Another condition often responsible trares back to the health and vitality of the hens in the breeding flock. If there bad been some disease tn the flock or if all of the birds were not in the best of physical condition the consequeut Jack of vitallty often results in an unusually large number of deformed chicks.

Thft! is the question that leading poultrymen In New Jersey are asking themselves, as the method of handling these birds has everything to do with their production record this fall. The men know that thc:> expected molt can sometimes be avoided if the weight of the pullets after they come into production is maintained by feeding plenty ot sct·atch grain. Just before the pullets begin to lay or when they are laying about 10 per cent on range, they are removed to their permanent laying quarters. Here the poultryman endea>ors to get them in prime condition and, once he does so, trys to maintain it. Proper feeds and a good system of management bave been found essen· tlal if maximum feed c'onsumptlon Is to be secured. To lay eggs, feed Is needed and the bird which consumes the largest quantity of a well· balanced ration, lays the most eggs. Some poultrymen will be disappointed in the early-hatched pullets unles9 the birds have been carefully man· aged during the growing period, as· serts L. M. Black, poultry speclaUst.

R • Many losses In raising chicks result from failure to furnish an adequate amount of the right kind of protein feed. If chicks are to make a profit for the poultryman, their growth must be rapid. This requires a large amount of muscle-building material. Therefore, the ration should consist of an adequate supply of either milk or meat scraps. Milk is regarded as tile most efficient form of protein that can be given to chicks. If it Is available, 1t should be kept before the birds nil the time. Semi-solid and dried buttermilk are good substitutes for liquid milk. A.TTERIES!
