If growing chicks in February one feed may be given! at night using artificial light. Many chicks are overfed on the start. We have adopted the plan for the first five or six days in the brooder of weighing the feed. An experienced feeder may not need to weigh the feed,' but the beginner generally does better by weighing it. We allow one ounce' of the dry mixture for every fifty' chicks at each feed; that is, no chicks,+ for their first fi»e days in the brooder, I get more than six ounces of dry feed to fifty chicks in one day. The plan! followed is to moisten the first feed with canned tomatoes, the second with eggs, and the third with minced liver, and then begin the series over again. The above amount will not satisfy the chick's appetite. They will create a great noise at every feeding time, but it gives a chance for the chick to ab- sorb completely the yolk in the body. After the first period one should feed two or three times each day all that the chicks will eat. We begin giving a drinking vessel each of water and sour milk, when the chicks are about a week old. Many give sour milk to drink at the start, but we have obtained slightly better sprouted grains, tender green grass, rests on the end of the spine; the legs, firmly imbedded into the foundation. if available, and a little grain.

HAR When "the forties" or even the thir- ties, find a woman with the spring and elasticity gone from her body, it na- turally suggests the question, "How did it happen?" The home -maker her- self will say, "Housework did it" The physical culturist will say, "Lack of proper exercise did it, and will pre- scribe "daily dozens" and deep breath- ing. One flaw in the prescription lies in the fact that any system of exercises must be practiced regularly, as an extra to the day's work, either in the morning when one is hurried or in the evening when one is tired. An- other flaw lies in the fact that the most conscientious followers of set- ting -up exercises continue to do their household tasks in the same hard old ways. They see no relation between physical'culture and household routine. Does it not suggest itself as com- mon sense that the remedy for ills that come from wrong posture lies in . snaking the physical tasks of house- keeping a means of physical grace? Posture. Perfect health is impos- sible with poor posture. Unfortunately these are two "wrongs" to choose from and only one "right." The first "wrong" is the slouching "self-pity" pasture. The shoulders are bent, lungs cramped, head and abdomen sagging. There is a general settling of the body, suggesting the small boy's query, "Mother, have you begun to shrink yet? Grandma has!" The ex,. uses offered for this pos- ture are, "I feel so tired all the time," and "my feet trouble me so." The wo- man who maintains this posture is hard to live with because she is so sorry for herself. She has, indeed "let dozen," mentally and physically. The other "wrong" is the "Phar- isee" posture. The form is held rigid- ly erect, chest high, shoulders tense, FRESH ECCS and plenty of them every month in the year if you will rear chicks, feed and care for them as instruct- ed in our inexpensive, effective Coldbeit Poultry Course, given by mail under the direction of the ex- pert poultrymen, .

The mental attitude back of this posture is, "Of course I'm tired, and of course my feet ache but nobody shall catch me slouching!" The woman who maintains this posture is hard to Iive with because her nerves are tense. Her over -erect posture is the result of will -power rather than vitality. Both "wrongs" assign to the mus- cles the -work of holding the body up- right. Right posture is a matter of body balance, not of muscular effort. Muscles are needed for other things than maintaining the perpendicular. ISSUE No:'14-'24:��<' thighs, and the height of the chair, oval wires are run from the ends of about B.C. 1010 to 970.

How' do you lift weights? When the vacuum cleaner must bp moved where it cannot be pushed, do you crumple up at the waist line, start lifting with one side of your body and, when the job is 1 half done, bring the other side into play? Try bending both knees, hold- ing the body easily erect, and use both arms from the first moment you begin to lift. This is the most revolutionary of household exercises and will not come at the first trial but it is worth acquiring. It distributes the effort of Iifting. Furthermore, practice in bending the knees while keeping the body erect, with back and abdomen flat, will help you to acquire body bal- ance. Do you ever, in carrying a heavy chair, support it with the mus- cles of your- abdomen, allowing your arias to remain slackers? The pos- ture that results is not only unlovely but harmful. Make both arms help, keep off your heels, don't screw up your face and the task will be bene- ficial rather than harmful. Reaching. How do you reach? Do you make it hard by standing a foot or two away from that high, shelf, set- tling back on your heels, protruding your abdomen and dragging your ribs up with your arms as you raise them? Or have you learned to make it easy by standing squarely in front of the shelf, keeping the body balanced and raising only your arms? Stooping. How do you stoop? Is that low oven a grievance or have you made it a means of physical grace? Does a look into the oven suggest a crumpling up of your body and a rush of blood to your head? Or do you drop easily to eine knee, do you keep, erect, do you go on breathing? Scrubbing. How do you scrub a table? With set jaw and tense fore- arms, using a baek-and-forth motion?

With the best manage- ment in the world a certain amount of standing is unavoidable in the daily routine. How do you stand? First, measure yourself against the wall (head, shoulders, and heels touching) and see if you are as tall as you ought to be. Next see whether you can be tall without being tense. To make this test, leave the small of the back as well as head and shoulders touch the wall. If you have a bad case of "swayback" you niay have to move your feet some distance from the wall before the small of your back will touch but little by little you can learn to bring your heels nearer the wall without hollowing the back, until they actually meet. At first this will give you a feeling of tilting forward but it will help to balance you with your weight on the balls of your feet. change, fresh air and relaxation?
