Mrs. J. R.: My chicks were hatche-d
in incubators and I am. losing them
real fast. At night they seem all
right; in the morning their wings are
drooped and they stand humped up.
Sort e die during the day, and in the
.rao ag there will be as -high as four
.--- and .five dead in brooder. They are
- fed. small chick feed, rolled oate and
fresh. water. They are now three
weeks old and do not seem to grow
very fast.
13rooder chicks might die from a
great variety of - causes. Lack of vi-
tality in the breeding stock produces
-weak chicks. An „over -crowding of
the brooder will cause chicks to be-
come _droopy and stunted. Overheat-
ing in the brooder is a common trouble
'during hot weather And just as seri-
ous MS chilling in the early spring.
Poultrymen are generally finding
that the growing' mash before the
" ehicks at all times is one of the best
means of producing a rapid growth.
It can be made of eqoal parts by
weight of bran, middlings, corn meal,
ground oats and beef ecrap. If you
have only a small flock or lack of time
to make a mixed mash, try using one.
of the commercial growing mashes.
Soar milk is a fine developer for
chicks and helps to reduce digestive
disorders. A grassy range is a great
help in making chicks grow. Young
birds confined to yards lacking in
green foodare apt to droop and be-
come unhealthy. Shade during the
day is necessary to protect growing
birds from the hot sun.
If the eggs were overheated in the
incubator it might 'cause -weak chieks.
But I believe if you try plenty of sour
milk and the balanced growing Mash
that the4 chicks will do better and
the mortality rate will decrease. Of
course, better restalts with chicks can
be obtained when they receive no set-
backs of any kind from the time they
leave the Shell.' It is sometimes diffi-
cult to -bring back a flock that has
became in had condition.
COntrolling the Cucumber
An easy and effective way to con-
trol eucumber beetle is to duet with
a mixture of arsenate of lead and
land plaster. A very effective form-
ula, as shown by tests, is one Dart by
weight of powdered arsenate of lead
•to twenty parts of land plaster.
Land plaster itself has little effect
in the beetle control but its fineness
pf texture and its adhering qualities
make it an ideal carrier far the arsen-
ate of lead. It is also very effective
in that it is a fertilizer and has a
stimulating effect on the plants, caue-
ing them to mature and fruit early.
It is necessary to keep the beetle
from attacking the cucumbers as this
insect also clauses the cucomber wilt
and produces a grub which feeds on
or in the stems under the 'ground.
Fixing Over the Tenant House
I have heard Of people making their
families fit the house, but when it
, conies to making the house fit the
family I think it is about the l'atest
thing out. DO you think enough of
your tenant and his family to fix the
house all over and make it larger? I
think there are very few men to -day
who fully appreciate what his tenant
does for him and fewer still that care
about making things pleasant and
he,lpful foe his family. And still, per-
haps you, youa.•self, were in the ten-
ant's "shoes" "in the good old days."
Neverthele.sa, there was one man in
these same "good -old days" that ap-
preciated and took an intereet in ' his
, tenant and fixed his house all over.
His tenant had three chlldren and,
'tltlere were only feet. rooms in the
house, and these nothing to speak of.
So he betook it upon himself to make
Apriepcls. There was a goad -sized
-11,eing-room needing new paper and
paint just "awfully." And the dish
cupboard was in one corner of this
living -room. Then there were two
small bedrooms, so small, in fact, that
by the time you got your bed up thee
was no room left for dresser or table
or hardly any for yourself. Then, as
far as doors go, there was an Opening

Just about forgotten in this liouse.
The dining-rooni and, kitchen were
together and when coanpany came the
childree had to wait until the second
table, er had to stand Ili 6rld eat, for
there was not room for more than six
to sit down at the dining -table and
have any -room left to wait table. The
house needed shingling badly.
First of all, the roof was raised and
two sleeping -rooms added, one above
the living -room and the other above
the former bedrooms, each had large
clothes -presses at one end and the
extra clothing was taken care of. An
open stairway led up to these rooms
,from the living -room, and a cellar
stairway was added under these. Then
the partition between the former bed-
rooms was taken 01.1t and this made a
