Ithaca. N. Y.. April 26.—Havina "(rood luok" In ralnlna chickens is more In knowing how and what to t^fd than it is luck, aix-ordlnrf toutfie poultry men at tho Btate Colleire h«-re. who say that tdiim milk Is well-niith Indlspennahle for tho phk:ks durinK the flrst week. The milk dlot Is ronslderod so lmp«>rtant that it Isn't safe, say itho experts, to leave tt to tho Individual fhlck's whim as to whethor or not It gets thfi milk. To make sure-' that th«» ohlrk cultivates the milk, taste at on<^e, the jwultryrnan may dip the cfjlck's tx'ak In the milk hf-forp It gvts.any oth^-r food, which means Just as soon as It is takon from the Incuhotor. The numo result can be ncr-omiHlHhfd at less c-ost by providing nothlpK,hut milk for thf rhloks to drink. Thoy nood no water aa long as thoy havo plenty of milk.
A suitable .igrnln mixture should be f>-(] wH|h tgMn and grit In tho trough tho flrst day, and aftorwarde It should bo^ foil with grain alone In the litter. It Is Important not to ovorfood; tho chirks should alwaya bo waiting and roady whon fho next, moal comoa alonjt.
Things to Watrh
Other points to bo noted aro: Pro¬ mote health by Inducing the chirks to oxorclso and keep busy; provide fine grit and charcoal from tho start; koop tho wator fresh and clean; make all changes gradually; give grass range or plenty of groon food; got tho chicks out of doors us .soon aa possible; If tho chicks fill up on dry mash, do not ex- orcia*'. and aro not roady for tho grain feeding, remove tho mash part of tho tlmo; food moist mash sparingly; foo<l t)nly high grade, wholosome foods.
Tloro aro tho rations which tho collogo haa found goo<l: ^
fjrain mixtures: No. 1.—Five pounds fitio cracktHl corn; three pounds cracked wheat; two pounds pinhoad miin or oat flakos. No. 2.—Six prtunds medium cracked corn; four pounds wheat. No. 3,—500 |>ounds cracked corn; 200 pounds barley; 200 pounds wheat; 100 pounds heavy oats.
Maah mlxturpa: No. 1.—Two pounds wlient bran; ono r>ound wheat mid- dllnga; one pound corn meal or hominy; one pound nlfted ground oats; ono poimd l»ost grade sifted meat scrap. No. 2.— Two pounds wheat bran; one poimd wheat middlings; one potmd corn mcjil or hominy; one pound ground oats; ono pound moat .scrap. No. 3.—100 pounds wheat bran; 100 pounds wheat mid¬ dlings; 100 pounds corn moal; 100 pounds ground oats; 100 pounds meat .Hurapa; throe pounds 8.ilt. ,
The Way to Feed
When tho chicks aro frorrt one day to two weeks of ago, grain mixture Xo. 1 should bo fed In litter throe times a (kiy and mash mixture No. 1, moistened With sour skim milk and combined with chop|M>d green frmd slu)uld be fed twico n day.
Krom two to six weeks, grain mixture No. I should Ik> fed In tho litter twico a day and maah mixture No. 1, mofat- tonod with the sour milk, ahould be fed onco a day. Tho dry iflttsh. mixture No. 1 should be made available to the chlcka for halt a day.
From six to twelve weeks, grain mlx- ttire No. 2 should bo fed In tho litter throe times a day. with the dry maah mixture No. 2 always avallaj)lo.
Fronj twelve weeks to maturity, grain mlxlm-e No. 3 should be fed In the litter twice a day, while maah mixture No. 3 la hopper f«l; one meal of moist maah may bo fed If It is desired to hasten development.
Tho college exports warn that those rations will not give the best results unless the chicks are given free range on ,^roah aod and have provision for shade.
Chard ia slmpVy a beet wttb more leaves and less rodt than other beets. I If you like beet greens you will like! chard. It is a "out and come again" | crop, the outer larger leaves only I boing gathered each time and the youns inner leaves left to develop.
The culture is the same as that, of other beots, btit moro space, eight In¬ chea at least, should be allowt>d between plants. Most gardeners plant tflo much. Ten feet of row it about enough, unHi^ss you want the surplus leaves as green food for your hens.

TREATISE ON FORESTRY
state Collece Prepares Ap Instructive Leaflet
"The cause of the idle acres of the Kmplre State" Is pleaded In a new pub¬ lication Just Issued by the New Torjc State College of Forestry, entitled, "Forest Building in New York." This leaflet Is a brief, comprehensive treatise on the problems of reforestation and the proflts derived therefrom. It is the result of careful research and delving deep Into the records of reforestation in New York State, In the United States, and In Europe.
The leaflet Is Instructive to the owner who has hitherto given no study to the problem and encouragement to those who have made a beginning in reforeM- tatlon. It Is evident from the informa¬ tion contained In the i>amphlet that forest building through the medium of reforestation, Is a subject worthy of the attention of all right thinking persons whether they own forested lar\d or not. The publication Shows the need ts vital, the fleld is wide, tho work Is sUnple and the proflts sure.
) "Forest Building" defines rcforestar tlon aa an Investment and shows that tho trees adaptable to use in restoring the waate areas of the State offer a wide choice, both In connection with the typ« of forest desired and the length of itlmo the Individual wishes to sot uj)on the Investment. Thtf pMnphlet states that the forest builder of today can safely assume that ha Is Investing for a 12 per cent, return rather than a 6 por cent, return.

Tho .Soviet government made its mark with a double-cross when it signod the trade agreement with Oroat Britain, If recent dispatchos frf)m Lon¬ don aro rollalilo. Information from the British capllal la lo tho offoct that communlstltc Influence and advice back¬ ed by pressure and gold from Moscow, are behind tho British coal strike, and that argus-eyed agency known as the British .Secret Service is the source ot tho Information. "It Is the flrat serious menace of the Red tide against the British Isles with the aim to flood all British industries and drown capital¬ ism," declares the report.
On March 16th the Brltiah govern¬ ment, aurrendering to tho demands of certain labor organizations, entered Into a trade compact with tho Ruaaian soviet. This act was mado the basis of a demand by a numb<>r of Interests In thla country for a similar negotia¬ tion between Bussia and the United States, but Secretary of .State Hughes, with a canny declaration whi<'h laid agitation to rest on this score, de¬ clared: "It Is only in tho productivity of Russia that there Is any hope for the Russian people, and It is Idle to ex¬ pect resumption of trade until the economic bases of production aro securely eatabllshed. Production Is con¬ ditioned upon safety of life, tho recog¬ nition by firm guaranteeR of private property, the sjmctlty of contract and tho rights of free labor * • If funda¬ mental changes are contemplated * • * this government will bo glad to have convlnfing evidence of the consumina- tion of auch changes, and until this evi¬ dence Is supplied thia government is unable to perceive that there la any proper biiala for considering trade re¬ lation^'"
Tho preamble to thla I*u8So-BrItlsh trade pact contains the express stipula¬ tion that each party will refrain from hostile action or undertaking againat tho other and from propaganda, direct or indirect, against the respective gov¬ ernments. "It is understood," declares tho preamble, "that the term 'conduct¬ ing any official propaganda' Includes tho giving by either party of aaslstanco and encouragement to any ;iroi>nganda conducted outside its own borders," und in the concluding article of the i)act it Is expressly provided that infringomont of Itg provisions ahall work an, im¬ mediate termination of the agreement, unleas the parties otherwise decide.
Tho report of tho British Secret Ser¬ vice goes on to say that "direct radical agitation haa been going on for months and as proof ot the influences behind tho extreme drift of the labor leaders IntolUgenco has boon received that tho vory mining districts which are now the hottest conter'a of unrest, are the districts selected for the flrst planting of the .seeds of sovletlsm. Thore wore plans for extending the agitation to the railway mon and other labor organlza' tlons, ao as to bring all under a single head, directed and controlled from Russ^ia. Lenlne la reported to have de¬ cided that this method was slower but more sure than using the force of arma, and had arranged to carry on the 'same syatem in all countrlea.'*
¦If the British government sees flt to accept tho rer)ort of an agency in which It has heretofore placed implicit eonfl¬ dence, it would seem that there Is littlo left to do but to declare the trade pact with the government of Lenlne at an end, almost before It has gone into effective operation. The Republican Publicity Association, In commenllng on tho pact recently, declared than "if the soviet makes good in this a^ee- ment with England it will advance in tho estimation of the American people," but In the light of the report from London, It appears that the soviet has been as false with respect to Its tirade agreement with England as It has been regarding its promises to Its Cwn people, and that It is a government with which to enter into treaty rela¬ tions would be to compound interna¬ tional felony.

WHICH 18 VOIR LEVEL?

There aro at least three distinct labor levels. At the Iflwest are the day-labor¬ ers, the semi-skilled clerical workers, "specialists" In factory work and others who know only ono operation. These receive from 1800 to J 1,000 a year.
The next level Is that of the skilled worker. This ordinarily Includes the mechanics, building trades, craftsmen, clerks, stenographers and other work¬ ers where routine work enters In. Of course most of these workers start at about the level of the unskilled but the general average of wages during a period of years falls between $1200 and Jl.'SOO.
The third level contains flve general group.s—thoso In business for them¬ aelvea; those having supervisory posi¬ tions aUch aa foremen and managers; third, the onglnoora, chemists and ac¬ countants; fourth, those who add defl¬ nitely to the world'a supply of goods or 'Knowledge, auch us tho mining pros- IH'ctors, Inventors', artists and others; and flnally tho professional group, who are largely engaged In service such as the ministers, doctors, teachers, and lawyers. Theso may often start at the level of day-laborers and many of them, such as the ministers and teachers, re¬ main at that or the next higho.r level either bocau.so they aro Inefficient or bjB- causo they are not endeavoring to secure full money value for their work, but the average wage is from $2,000 up to |r)0,000 and higher.
This general division of work Is some¬ what arl)ltrnry but it does drive one fact hotne—if a man or woman Is to ri.se from one level to another, either siH-cial effort, special training or special ability Is re<iulr('d. If you are a day laborer you must make some effort and arrangomont to leain a trade before It will Ik' poasibh' to make tho jump, or If you are a clerlcit worker special study will bo necessary before you can bridge the gap.
If on the other hand you are a skilled worker or an experienced clerk, it will be necessary to inukc some special effort either In getting education, in demon¬ strating ability to handle men, or In doing apodal \\^ork liefoY'i) tho gap will be bridged to the third level. Are you iwrhaps a skilled machinist and wish to advance? There are two openings for you—either to become a foreman (und this takes ability in handling men, aa well as the vieion to plan und lay-out Work) Or to advanpp to'a position as tool-designer, nmster mechanic or other export worker. If you aro a carpenter it will be necessary for you to study construction and structural engineering as well as learn to boss a gang of men. Then it wil.l lie iioasible either to go into business for your.self or to secure a good position with q, contracting firm, pjxamples could be multiplied without end as to the necessary steps, but for those who earn their living, at loaat two of the throe aids—special ability or special education are necessary.
The world has been lllled with a.sser- tif)ns that America is tho land of op¬ portunity—that here any man or wom¬ an, boy or girl, can rise to any height. Aa a matter of fact it is possible for anyone with health to rise juat as far as their intelligence wiil permit, pro¬ vided they aro willingto sacriflce to do it. A great many peViple would like tho cake without working for it, but success In life rotiuires long hours of work and study which can fenly bo maintained, by strength of will and sacriflce of many of the pleasures and conveniences which seem to make .life worth living.
A keen mind is a great aid, but the lack of it Is not necessarily a handicap. Hard persistent thought and atudy often are worth more In the ond than the brilliance of a rapid but erratic thinker. Its the old case of tho tortoise and hare who raced together. The hare, of courae, got so far ahead of the tor¬ toise he sat down to wait and fell asleep, whereaa the slow-moving turtle stayed right on tho Job and won out.
The tortoise route, however, takes a Btrong body or a strong wiU to stand the txtra work ot; to pull a man through.
Which level is youVs? Are you going to stay there? O^n you afford to? If not, face the facts and decide how you are going to make tho Jump.
Note—Mr. Board will l)e glad to answer any questions and advl.so with yqung people as to ways and moans. Inquiry by mail should bo sent to Mlnv^ola and .a stamped rn'-'clopo en¬ closed.
SEED OR PLANTS FOR
RAISING HOME CELERY,
Celery plants are started enrty/in a window liox or a hQtt>od. If the plants | are (o be had in your locality. It may! pay you to buy tho plants rather than 1 to grow them. If the seeds are sown at home, thoy should be covered Very | lightly because of tholr small slxe. Toi guard against drying out, spreaid a | piece of choese<'loth or a ncwsipaperl ovor the surface of the soil, removing It promptly when tho young plants appear.
In tho garden sot the plants four to nix Inches a|)art In rows two to four feet apart. The wider siiacing of tho rows is necessary when the plants are to bo blanched later by banking up earth about thom. If blanching Is to l>o dono with pap<!r or boards, tho rows may lie close together.
Oolden Self-Branching Is a good variety, says tho State College of Agri¬ culture.
