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.

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.

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. • 'Flowering Pear Trees.

HEREDITY IN A PIG. :;fference Between Pure Seeds and 1 • • 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 �A...r�tl U, -- =y,,w «.a Al• wood Oct.
