CA T RhiprrypT‘* When you "don‘t understand what is the matter" with the chicks, just try changing their runs. Many times the very earth where they are is fou!l and full of disease germs. Sometimes it is not the hen which needs doping half so much as it is the master, and what Rhe needs is a good mess of interest in his business. Feeding milk a long time in the same dish without washing it, is the cause of a great deal of bowel trouble in the little chicks. Lice, heat and too much food make the June chick‘s life a short and painâ€" ful experience. A bit of powdered charcoal beats most of the soâ€"called bowel remedies that are on the market. / Answer:â€"Any â€" soil that is well drained and is sufficiently open in texâ€" ture to allow the air to circulate withâ€" in it, is suitable for the growing of asparagus . Speaking generally, asparagus does best on a sandy loam soil that has been deeply worked and carefully manured and fertilized .

With June pasture there is every possibility of turning out an attractive product.

Apply this to horses of every ‘color and we A careful daily washing of shouldâ€" ers and withers with cold water or, better, cold salt water, will cleanse and toughen the skin of the horse. This washing should be continued from two to four weeks, depending on the age of the horse and the condition‘ of the shoulders. For the average 1,500â€"pound horse at hard steady work a ration of 20 pounds oats and 15 pounds good hay produces about 11,000 units of power, which is about the work such a horse is capable of performing. | " Poultry is naturally hardy.

She bastes and does hand work, sews on hooks and eyes, draws the bastings, even cuts out after the pattern has been pinned to the goods. In fact, she gives her whole time to the sewing while the girl is in the house. Clothes that are to be made over are ripped, cleaned and pressed before the seamstress arrives. â€" The dressâ€" iest gown is made last, so that its planning can be talked over while fingers are busy with other work that requires no discussion. Then plenty of pins, needles, bastâ€" ing thread, a bit of chalk and a soft pencil or charcoal stick for marking through the perforations of patterns, a sharp knife for ripping, and a tape measure may be arranged in one drawâ€" er of the machine.

For such housewives, as well as for the woman who must sandwich the sewing in between her housework, Mrs. Neighbor‘s secret may prove useful. The secret is just "preparedness." Mrs, Neighbor gets ready for her sewâ€" ing week just as she gets ready for fruit canning time or washday, This means that she gathers together some equipment which costs very little but which keeps her from wasting time af. ter the sewing is under way.
