Chicks should bo fed three or four
times during the day. but care
should he taken not to give them
more than they will eat up quickly;
in fact, food should not bo before
them more than five minutes at a

regularly after they are a week or

stantly before them. Granulated
charcoal is a valuable corrective of

be kept withfn easy access of the
chicks until they are allowed free

daily and a fresh litter or layer of

after it is cleaned.
HOW TO CHECK MENINGITIS.

cognized as the first authority on

caller rafter hint, "Micrococuus Crre-
bro-pinalais Wescheselhaum," says:
"My experience is that the disease
principally attacks children slid
youthful indivicluals. It, of course,
differs in its manifestations. In
many cases death ensues after a few
clays, in others after three and
even four weeks.
"Frequent recoveries have happen
ed, but with disastrous conserpuences,
such as paralysis or neatness. Science
is by no means satisfied in regard to
the manner of infection. I have as-
certained that in all cases the excit-
er of the disease enters through the
nose. Nearly all patients in tho
first stage suffer from mucous inflam-
mation. the nasal conditions resemb-
ling those often seen in common
catarrh. The disease spreads from
the nose to the meninges (mem-
branes) of the brain.
"This fact give's nn important hint
for preventing 'election. Patients
should not only be isolated, but
strict care -should be taken that the
