VACATION TRIPS ON TEE
GREAT LAKES.
Summer vacation travel on the
Great Lakes is now in full awing and
the volume of tourist travel attracted
to the lake routes by the splendid
equipment of the passenger lines and
for the cool and restless lake trips is
even earner than in former seaeone.
The Great Ship "SEEANDBEE',
now running daily between Cleveland
and Buffalo, has created a seneation
with the public who break their rail
journey at either city to enjoy a de
tigbtfni night's trip on this marvelous
steamer.
The "SEEANDBEE•' is the largest
and most costly passenger steamer on
inland waters of the world. She has
5510 staterooms and parlors arcomod-
atiog 1600 passeugere, equalling in
Bleeping capacity the largest hotel of
the country, and she can carry 0.000
people, the population of a good kW)
town.
Notwithstanding her gigantic size,
during the summer season ber sleep-
ing accomodations are reserved well in
advance, and those contemplating the
trip should arrange for rooms as early
as possible.
All railroad tickets reading between
Cleveland and Buffalo are good for
transportation en C. & B. Line
Steamers, and no one should miss the
opportunity of using the lake route
during the hot summer months.

Safety First Oa The Farms,
In the Province of Ontario, during
the year 1912, there were 1,831 deaths
due to external violence. Many of
these occurred on the farms. No lees
than 25 were caused by injuries receiv-
ed. from animate, Many others were
due to carelessness around farm ma-
ohinery, unsafe Harness causing
horses to run away, failing through
open trap doors or down feed chutes,
ladders breaking, etc. In some cities,
and over some railway linos, a'"safety
first campaign is under way. "Stop,
look, li:ten," is a splendid warning
sign fora railway creasing, but its
equivalent should be sounded in many
other places. The risks to life and
itnb on the farm are so numerous and
so plain that one would expect to see
them largely removed, but they are
not. Children on the farm should be
taught the dangers inseparable from
association with live stock, and to be
careful always* The bull may be
thought to be safe and gentle, bat he
can never be trusted. Three deaths,
in one Week, by goring are among the
casualties in the prees reports during
June, 1914, Farmers aro repeatedly
.taking chances by getting in front of
the knife of the mower or binder, to
make some adjustment or repairs,
while the horses aro hitched and liable
to start, and' thereby cause a serioue
accident. When threshing and silo -
filling time comes, every precaution
should be taken to guard against
accidents. Prevention is a thousand
times better than neglect and carelese-
uess, which latter often lend to
accidents and loss of life. Human life
is held far too cheaply and if the par-
ents fail to teach the children to be
careful, and to avoid unnecessary risk
and dagger, they can scarcely escape
responsibilty when preventable acci-
dents, causing disfigurement or lose of
life, occur.

owner's
troubles
and losees do not
actually begin un
til be has a few
scores of baby
chickens on his
bands. Success or
failure will be de-
termined at this
point.
Chickens do not
require food for
the first thirty-six hours after hatching.
One of the best foods that can be fed
the first few days is stale bread soak-
ed in milk, This should be crumbled
fine and placed where the chickens
have free access to It and where they
cannot step on it One of the difficult
problems for the poultryman is to de-
vise sbme means for feeding little
chickens so that they can consume the
food without soiling it. If placed on
the floor of the brooder or the brooder
run the larger part of the food will
be trampled upon and will soon be-
come unfit to eat. Small, narrow
trays or troughs are easily made and
answer the purpose of keeping the
chicks from tramping on their food.
Granulated oats (with the hulls re-
moved) make an excellent food for
young chickens. There is perhaps no
better grain for Young chickens than
oats preparedin this manner. It may
be fed to good advantage after the sec-
ond or third day in connection with
the bread sopped in milk.
The chickens should have free access
to some kind of grit after the first
day. Coarse sand makes an excellent
grit for young chickens. As they get
a ]Ittle older some coarser material
must be provided.
Milk Is an excellent' food for these
young fowls, but it requires skill In
feeding. One of the great difficulties
in rearing fowls is to carry young
chickens through the first two weeks
without bowel disorders. Too low
temperature in the brooder, improper
food and injudicious feeding, even if
the right kinds of food are given, each
plays an important part in producing
these disorders. After the first ten
days milk may be given more freely
perhaps than during the earlier stages
of the chick's existence.
A mixture of fine middlings, wheat
bran, cornmeal and a little linseed
meal softened with milk makes a valu-
able food. Hard boiled eggs may be
fed from the beginning, but, like milk,
regeire more skill than the feeding of
bfettt. 4 "n"ik.- On farms where
screenings from the vafinite-•at...' s -be-
come really a by product these form 11
cheap and efficient food for chickens.
Wheat screenings especially form one
of the best foods if they contain a con-
siderable porf
on of good kernels
that
have been cracked In threshing. Then,
too, the screenings contain a number of
weed seeds that have some feeding
value and are relished by the fowls.
They riot only provide sustenance, but
give variety, and this in a measure im-
proves the general bealtb.
A. good mixture of grains is equal
parts of whole wheat, cracked corn and
gut or crushed oats. Some poulterers
prefer to feed wheat one day, corn the
next and oats the next. This is all
right either way. Grain once a day is
sufficient if a variety of other food is
obtainable. A cheap .and valuable food.
is stale bread or rolls which bakeries
and restaurants sell at 1 cent a pound.
Hotel and restaurant table scraps may
also be obtained at a small cost. All
kinds of vegetables, raw or cooked,
may be used. Meat scraps or ground
bone may he fed sparingly with mash.
Give the grain in a clean litter early in
the morning, mash at noon and vege-
tables, softened bread or grain in the
evening. Make the mash with skim -
milk if it is available. Sour milk and
whey are good substitutes now and
again for mature fowls.
Where fowls are kept in confinement
it will be necessary to supply some
meat food. Finely cut fresh bone from
the meat markets is one of the best, if
not the best, hind of meat for laying
hens. Unfortunately It is not prat•
ticable for many poultrymen to cicperul
wholly on this product, for the reason
that It is often inconvenient or herpes-
sible to obtain, and when once secured
it cannot be kept in warm weather
without becoming tainted. Tainted
bones should be rejected as unlit for
food. 51411=ilk may be substituted
wholly or in part for meat food with-
out a decrease In egg production, pro-
vided the proper grain ration is given.

HEREDITY IN A PIG.

• • Sc7ithg Is Greater Profits,
Wbat is the diffe`i encs between it
well bred pig and a common scrub
one? Without entering into the sc•ien-
titie principles of the thing, we would
say a well` bred pig is one that re-
sponds quickly to feeding, writes a cor-
respondent of the National Stockman.
He is so built, so shaped and so block-
ed out that he grows broad and deep
and long in the proportions to make
weigiit; that what he eats and digests
is assimilated into muscle and fat and
a contented grunt, and not into gris-
tle and flabby skin and a shrill squeal,
shaving the common name of razor-
back.
In five months time what is the
difference in your two pigs? I'it tell
you. I once had a bunch of pigs which
'were well bred, and to 611 out my pens
I purchased a bunch of the same age
to a day, five weeks old. At this age
there was not such a striking differ-
ence between the two as to size, but
at five months things were different.
Both bad the same care and all they
ought to eat. My well bred ones aver-
aged 166 pounces each, while the others
averaged eighty-seven pounds.
I don't care what the breed is. If
'you fancy one of the old standard
4 breeds tie to it once for all, although
some other may be as good. If you

Tho peculiarity of the mulefoot
hog is that it has a solid hoof. in
color this breed is usually black,
sometimes with white spots. it is
claimed for the mulefoots that the
pigs are hardier and fleet, from nig
diseases than pigs of other bice',;.
They are great rovers, hustling for
themselves from a few weeks of
ago. The sows are prolific and have
