To help the amateurs, Mr, and Mrs. Blum keep several tomato plants just inside their West side greenhouse door.

How to Raise Chickens—No. 5

To be most productive, the backyard chicken flock requires considerable attention and care. Regularity in performing daily tasks is advisable with one person in the family in charge of the flock. In recent years, the feeding of poultry has been simplified by the use of commercial feed mixtures that contain all necessary ingredients, including vitamins and minerals. : There are .three types of feed mixtures—one called a starting mash for baby chicks, a growing mash for growing. poultry and a laying mash for mature pullets and hens. Some poultrymen use a starting and growing mash mixture and switch to the laying mash later. Give the Feed Dry

Modern practice is to: give the feed dry, in hoppers. Experienced raisers keep food in the hoppers at all times. Throwing grain into the litter on the floor is insanitary and otherwise an outmoded method of feeding.

household foods, if wholesome, may be given in troughs provided for the purpose. Do not give the flock moldy or other spoiled foods. Any table scraps not eaten within

"MME. CHIANG LEAVES FOR WESTERN TOUR!.

NEW YORK, March 19 (U. P.)— Mme. Chiang Kai-shek was en route to Chicago today on a coast-to-coast good will tour. She left last night on the Pennsylvania Broadway limited, after a week of rest ordered by hér doctors. There were more than 40 persons in her party. The party included L. K. Kung, her nephew and chief secretary; Mme. Wei Tao-ming, wife of the Chinese ambassador; Dr. Hollington Tong, vice minister of Chinese information; a staff of six secretaries;

| two stenographers, two nurses and

her personal Chinese maid. Mme. Chiang will go directly to the Drake hotel in Chicago. Her first scheduled engagement is a reception in her honor by the Chinese consul general. She is expected to spend several days in Chicago, with her West coast stops expected to include San Francisco and Los Angeles.

a reasonable time should be re-}

moved before they spoil. Spoiled feed invites digestive: troubles and may cause death. A constant supply ef clean water is’ essential to the well-being and productivity of the flock. Placing the water container on a box or low platform where it is easily acces-|' sible to the flock, but raised from the floor, helps to keep the water clean. Other details of care include attention to conditions that improve] - the comfort of the birds.

Ventilation Necessary

Ventilation of the house is necessary to keep the floor, litter and walls dry. Houses that are closed up tightly get wet from the condentation of moisture given off by the flock. In arranging ventilation, be sure that there is. no possibility

of direct drafts on the birds. Poul try may be encouraged to remain

hoppers in the sun porch or outside yard. Domestie chickens are descend ants of birds that originally lived wild in the jungle—a point to remember . in connection with their care. Many breeds have been

Americanized and quieted in tem- |

perament, but they are still likely to be frightened by strange sounds, roving dogs and cats and strange birds flying overhead. To go into a chicken house carrying a bundle or an empty sack may cause a great commotion. Good poultrymen avoid scaring their flocks and endeavor to protect them from outside disturbances,
