or to be sold as poultry meat many of theae deaths could have been avoid ed no matter how vigorous and healthy a newly hatched chick may be if it is stunted or weakened in the early days of its life it will be a los ing proposition in the end careless feeding careless brooding these are the kind of things which set a chick off io a bad ktart how can a farmer avoid these loii sest good housing will help a weatherproof building built to allow plenty of sunlight and fresh air and a reliable heat unit with the best fuel obtainable will keep the chicks com fortable and the operator not too busy as to feeding there s no economy in feeding cheap and inferior rations until it gets out on thoange the chick depends entirely onthe feed it is given in the brooder for this reason the starter feed should be carefully prepared containing all the elements necessary to a growing chick there is little cause for worry if the chicks come from a reliable source are warmly housed in a sani tary surrounding and are given freuh water and plenty of suitable feed nature will take care of the rest but once n chick is chilled or in adequately fed it may never recover sufficiently to be profitable

fruit and vegetable in storage it is often labor well spent during the winter monthfr to examine fruit and vegetables which have been in storage since fall mo matter how well inspected or how good the

apples should be disponed of as quickly as possible when examining for quality re member that possibly a full week will elapse after the removal from storage before the apples will be eaten the true

everybodyi nave a question for you it la this itw would you like to live in a solar horn- or in other words a glass house t i hope it doesnt sound too crazy to you because according to he jan uary readers digest solar homes may become very popular after the war these homes are built with all the main rooms facing south behind an almost unbroken expanse of glass and with a four foot eave which shuts out the direct rays of the sun in sum mer but allows lie winter sun to stream in at will in solar homes fuel bills can bo cut as much as thirtyeight per cent below the av erage eyestrain is lessened and light bills reduced however the n reticle doesn t tell you how to keep the windows un broken nor how many hours ar week it would take to clean tho windows nor how much it would take to buy shades and curtains for them i wonder what would happen to that unbroken expanse of glass should the small fry play baseball in sum mer or throw snowballs in winter it doesn t sound too practical does if and yet i am sure the idea has much to commend it personally i think most houses are far too dreary i love rooms with the sun streaming in through the windows ah but that is hard on tho
