ly. With those hatched in late May or 
June, the case is different. 
Dry-mixed grains of size suited to the 
young birds are better than wet mashes 
for early feeding. The ready-prepared 
chick foods are usually safe and in proper 
proportion for the young chicks. Fresh, 
clean water, and coarse sand for grit 
should be supplied them. Ranging chicks, 
however, will procure the necessary 
amount of grit. 
A young growth of oats is relished by 
chicks and aids in their rapid growth. 
When the chicks have grown to a good 
size, the hen will abandon them. Chicks 
of this age will do better if kept in groups 
of twenty-five or thirty than if forced to 
crowd together at night in greater num¬ 
bers. Care must be taken that the coops 
are well ventilated. A coop that has one 
end covered with canvas gives satisfac¬ 
tion, but there should be an additional pro¬ 
tection of small-meshed poultry wire se¬ 
curely fastened on either under or over 
the canvas or burlap covering to prevent 
wild animals from harming them. In 
warm summer weather the burlap curtain 
may be removed. 
Where successive hatchings of chicks 
bring together different-aged groups, some 
means of separating them at feeding time 
must be devised, else the younger birds 
will suffer. Uniformity of growth de¬ 
pends upon uniformity of strength in each 
group. Feeding cages made by tacking 
vertical strips to box-like frames, so as to 
admit chicks of different sizes, are about 
the most satisfactory scheme used. Three 
or four cages to accommodate the differ¬ 
ent ages are convenient. For younger 
chicks the strips may be placed about two 
inches apart. Those of the larger cages 
being about three, five and seven inches 
apart. M. Roberts Conover 
The All-Phlox Border. 
/\ HARDY perennial border in the 
-t*- height of bloom in July and Au¬ 
gust — the time when most perennials, hav¬ 
ing passed their season, show the effects 
of midsummer heat, and blossom but fit¬ 
fully or not at all — is far too rare a sight 
in our American gardens. Phlox is the 
plant par excellence which can make the 
hardy border a midsummer blaze of 
glory. 
A few other plants, such as the Jap¬ 
anese anemone, can with dignity and fit¬ 
ting grace aid in such an office, but since 
phlox is supreme among the mid-season 
perennials, some borders or beds in every 
garden, should be devoted to little else 
but phlox. Feeling sure that those who 
have not tried an all-phlox border will 
be very well pleased with it. f give a few 
simple suggestions for its formation and 
care. 
The main part of the border should be 
filled with a few — only a very few — of
