Growing chicks should be well fed to Insure health, protection against disease, rnpld, economical gains while they are young, and quality flavor to the n~at of broilers and triers, says 0. C. Ufford, extension poultryman at the Colorado Agricultural college. A simple. economi<'al and e!Tectlve growing ration for the farm flock can be made, Uff('lrd suggests, from the following Ingredients: The scrat<>h mixture may he cracked corn of a size suitable for the chick, whole wheat or a mixture of equal parts of these two grains. A mash mixture may be composed of the following feeds, he says: Fine yellow cornmeal, 35 pounds; bran. 25 pounds; shorts. 25 pounds; meat meal r ~at scrap, 10 pounds; bone meal, 4 pounds; salt, 1 pound. Ground wheat n1ay be substituted for tne bran and shorts If desired. WhPn milk Is available In any form, It can very profitably be fed to the flock, It Is added. "The mash should be kept In suitable, non-wasting feeders, allowing the chicks free acress to It at all times," the extension poultryman says, "and feedinl!' space should be provided so that at least one-fourth of the flock can feed at one time. ..The grain can be fed in hoppers, morning or evening, In amounts that the birds can clean up readily, or fed In a litter of straw that should be changed occasionally as a sanitary precaution. ''Green feed Is a very important part of the chick's diet. When a green range, lawn clippings, alfalfa, lettuce or other greens are not available, II to 10 pounds of alfalfa-leaf meal should be added to each 100 pounds of the aboye mash mixture." 1 Rotation of Hen Yard Has Many Advantages Divide the poultry range In two. suggests the poultry department at the Ohio State university, and rotate the floek with green crops. It the flock Is permitted to cover the entire range all the time they will soon kill all the vegetation around the poultry house. Thill will make It necessary to provide green feed from another source and at 1:renter expense. The yard will also become unsanitary and often a sea of mud after a bard rain. Early fall sown rye proYldes an Ideal fall supply of green feed for poultry. Hape, sown In early summer, will provide suc<>ulence tn the ration a large part of the summer. It can be pastured as soon as It Is three or four Inches high. Half the yard Is givpn to range and pa~ture for the floPk while the other half Is In prc>parotlon for another crop. A wolen wire fence tlve feet high will serw to keep the chicken~ otT the g,owing crop on the range. The fencP. l!thoulrl he st!lked well at the bottom, for usually more chickPnS go under fences thou over them. Contrary to the opinion of some poultry men, the ben that molts earl\ vsually dol'S not begin la~·ing agal~ early In the winter, says F. E. Andrew" of the New 'fori; Stnte College of Ag· rlculture. In fact. the early molters 11suully rPquire more time to renew their fPath!'rs thnn the late molters. The Pnrly molting also incllrntes a lack of hi~h production ahll!ty. If the egg production goes down slowi.Y and a few hens start moltln)! each week It Is a safe practice to cull those lndh·ldunls. However, If a large per<'entage of the flock surluen!y stop!' laying nnd bPgins to molt, It Is best to <'he<'k on the mnnagement of the fl~)('k, nne! would not nere~sarlly mean that all of the hens were culls, Mr Andrews adYises. Sudden changes of feed, a bad tn· testation of !Ice or mltes, or lnsufHdMt amounts of feed and water may throw the flock into a molt. Poultry Facts In 1845, New York state grew 16,000 acres of beans and !l38,000 acres of wheat. In 1925 there were 154,000 acres of beans and 314,000 acres of wheat. • • • Constitutional vigor In pullets Is in· dk'nted by a deep yellow color In thP leg!< and beak. and by bright prom~ nent Pyes, and a well balanced head. Tbe size of the bird Is also Important and only those pullets of good size Bliould be kept. • • • In late summer, begin to feed the kens from four to six quarts of wet mash for eurb one hundred birds. Continue until early fall. • • • • • • Eg"'S should be put In crates with the large end up In order to prevPnt breal,!ng the air cell when the egg1 are be:ng hauled to market.

The oldest botanical gardel'l In the United States is located within the limits of the city of Philadelphia, and Is one of the shrines of the horticulturally minded tourist. The two-hundredth anniversary of the rounding of this old garden was eelebrated on June 5 and 6 of this year, with ceremonies suited to the occasion. The opening day was spent in special exercises of a historical natuTe, and on the second day the visitors were guests at the garden, tea being served In the old home ot the founder, John Bartram, a section of which was built in 1700, by Swedish settlers, and became the foundation from which Mr. Bartram built later. The building was purchased by Mr. Bartram in 1728, and the original bouse still 1·emains In the garden enclosure. The Bartram garden is now undergoing a process of restoration that wlll bring it back to its original form, a fitting tribute to the plat of land that bas been devoted to garden purposes for two hundred yeal's. The house has been restored to its original form and now the garden, through the efforts of the garden clubs of Philadelphia and surroundIng country, will be made to resemble as nearly as possible the garden ot the old days. These clubs have undertaken as their first work to restore to the garden the native rhododendrons, mountain laurel and other evergreens. John Bartram was a native AmPrfcan, his birthplace being Darby, Pa., near Philadelphia. He lived to the good old age of seventy-eight and died In Bartram house in 1777. The garden Is located on the west bank of the Schuylkill river, and for many years It was a most Isolated spot. It was through his voluminous correspondence with Peter Collinson, a grower in London, Eng- land, and the exchange or many seeds and plants, that Mr. Bartram's work became well known. Another famous botanical garden which ranks as the finest In the world Is at Blntenzorg, Java, this garden In Its present state of perfection being the product of nearly a century of effort on the part of the Dutch Inhabitants of Java. So wonderful are the flowers and plants that the garden, which Includes 90 acres, Is known as "The Garden of. the East." L. C. Breed In the Gardener's Chronicle tells us of the vegetation In this garden of wonders. The governor-general's house, which Is located In the garden, Is approached, we are informed, through the finest avenue of trees in the world. These are Kanarl trPes reaching 100 teet overhead and have tall straight trunks, covered with staghorn ferns, Birdsnest ferns, orchids and every type of parasite and air plant that the climate will permit. l\Ir. Breed also describes a palm that stands about 40 feet high, and a "wilderneRs of climbing plants," among which are palms with bran<>hes 600 feet In length. lie makes note of another palm that bears the lnrg<'st fruit and the largest leaves of any known tree, the fruit being two ff'ct In diameter, and the leaves 10 feet. Some of the trees rise to a height of 100 feet before the branches spread. NO RECREATION IN GOLF, SAYS WRITER Golf as played by the average business man Is certainly not a recreation, Struthers Burt asserts, writing in the Forum. Anyone who has seen weary, and sometimes obese, business men arrive on a train nnd immediately ·try to kill themselves by two 36-hole games a day will not long cherish the idea that this is pleasure. For the average business man, retired or not, golf Is a substitution, not a recreation. It is a substitution for business and-as now played for the most part-is more like business than any other game. It was first made popular by a conscience-ridden race, the Scotch-the more placid Dutch, having Invented It, promptly abandoned It; and as soon as they were given the chance, the con<;:clence-ridden English and Americans took it But, of course, an old bachelor up enthusiastically. doesn't hold his own.

Rinse thoroughly Fir.t Concrete Road The first concrete road of any consequence in the world was constructed In Detroit, and was eleven feet wide by one mile long. The American 1\Iagazlne, In a study of modern road building, tells the story of his initial experiment. It was fathered by Ed Hines, a Detroit pl'inter and nn enthusiastic bicycler, who had become president of the J,pagn.a of American Wheelmen. Have You Noticed? "When I raise my baton each player Is as ten~e as if he were going to make a speech,'' says an orchestra leader. But we always think the one with the comet Is getting set to wh!litle through his teeth.-Life. Y;:;n see, golf is the only game extant which combines exerci:.:e and at the same time assuages the sense of sin. Not only Is the competitive feature of it underscored and doubled, tor you are also always competing aga!nsf yourself, but there Is Invariably enough misery attached to the usual game to placate even an oldline Presbyterian, Moreover, your sins tlnd you out. They are there, unconcealed, for everyone to look at. And there's no wiping them orr. You cannot erase ll bad shot by a good shot as you can In polo or tennis. Golf Is a grand game for those races not yet able to consider palnle::;s pleasure as anything but sinful. It Is morose, sullen, and gives the Impression of being worthwhile-the last a very important consideration to the average man trained to bnslne~s standards. Soap 25c. Ointment 25c. and SOc.
