Corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that i-.nnleasant ne cessity of being compelled "to go often through 'the day, and to get up many times'during the night.

Continued high prices for geese anl feathers and the low cost at which I hey can be grown should greatly stim ulate the production of more of them. Under favorable conditions in grass fields with a running stream geese will thrive and practically take care of themselves. The goose is the health iest and heartiest of all fowls and sel dom dies from disease. The large breeds are easily fenced in, and those who have the right conditions will find they can engage in raising geese with pleasure and profit. Many people never pick their geese, regarding the job as too unpleasant for both goose and picker. Yet it is very easy when you know how. To I.Iek the goose easily and with the min lrouin pain hang it up by its feet so that its head will come to the top of I We fieep on Hand mm I Cases!

Scotland Negk- North Carolina ; Correct Way of Picking Feathers From a Goose. . a flour barrel placed for the feathers to fall in. One can then lock the wings and thus keep better control over the goose while picking. To lock the wings bring one over the other and catch the tip of the upper wing under the lower. It is not a hard trick, and one can easily study out the knack of it. Geese should not be fed or watered for at least twelve hours before pick ing. Do not pick your geese until they are ripe. Try a small bunch of feath ers, and if they pull readily and are free from blood then they are ripe and ready to pluck. The feathers when handled right will command GO to SO cents per pound. Pull only the small feathers and keep them clean as pos sible. The dressing of geese is dreaded by most producers. Geese are really the hardest of all poultry to dress. Here is an easy method for dressing geese so that they will show up bright and yellow, free from blood and splotches, and will command premium prices on the market: Hang them up by the feet and make a cut in the neck to sever the jugular vein about one and one-half inches back of the head. They bleed best that way. Many people prefer to stun the bird by a blow on the head before bleeding. As soon as the bird is dead place it in a boiler ou the stove with about three inches of water in the boiler. Have a rack to lay the goose on three inches above the water and keep the water boiling and the goose in the boil er from one to three minutes, depend ing on its ago and the amount of steam. As soon as the feathers will pull easily, hang the goose up, and as soon as It is plucked plunge it in a barrel of cold water, leaving it for three or four hours so as to keep It from splotching. Then hang it up until it is dry and ready to pack. In picking ieave the feathers on its head and down the neck for about three inches, and leave all the feathers on the last two joints of the wings. Sometimes you can handle your geese to better advantage by shipping alive, l.efore shipping they should be well watered and then fed. The shipping coops should be over eighteen Inches high. To fatten them for market they should be penned from ten to fifteen days and fed cornmeal mixed with buttermilk and given some kind of green food and plenty of grit. They must be kept quiet while fattening. "I Suffered Intense Pains in My. Left Side." Do you realize it is better to be safe than sorry, that it Js the best policy to lock the stabkuloor before the horse is stolen? Dr. Maes' Heart Remedy cured Mrs. C. C. Gokey, of a stub born case of heart disease, such as thousands are now suffering with. Read what she says: "Before I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy I had been suffering from heart trouble for over five years. I had grown so weak that it was impossible for me to do thirty minutes work in a whole day. I suffered intense pains in my leftside ' and under the left shoulder blade, I could not sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath that I thought I should never be able to take, a full breath again. The least ex citement would bring on the most distressing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half-bottle of the Heart Remedy be fore I could see a marked change in my condition. I began to sleep well, had a good appetite, and im proved so rapidly that when 1 had taken six bottles I was completely cured. MRS. C. C.

Breadcrumbs and granulated oatmeal are all the lit tle chicks will need for the first week. Following that they can be fed a well selected quality of chick food, con taining as little waste matter as possi ble. Cheap chick foods contain so much indigestible matter that the chicks have great ditD-julty in finding enough nutrition from them to pre serye life and "make them grow. Equal parts of wheat, oatmeal or hull ed oats well mixed make an excellent grain ration for the young chicks. !

Protecting the Weak and Feeding the Strong Bees a Serious Problem to Keepers. The first few flights that the bees made in the spring determined to a great extent their power for the future harvest. The weak among bees are disposed to be imposed upon by the stronger. Oftentimes when the bee.s take their 3rst spring flights they Ond hives unguarded, some hives contain ing honey and no bees, etc., which they at once take possession of. Bees be come frantic over stolen sweets the same as some men become frantic over stolen mouey. The bees seem to fol low the oft quoted law: The survival of the fittest makes a race stronger. Here is where the careless beekeeper often falls down. He allows the bees to rob each other, carrying disease from hive to hive, making an uproar in the apiary, becoming cross and causing bad neighbors, etc. All hives should be carefully exam ined, ali dead colonies should have their hives put out of reach of robbers and wax moths, the weak colonies' entrances should be contracted and all entrances made larger or smaller, ac cording to the size of the colony. The weak that are without food should be fed and the strong made stronger as fast as possible. Bees may be fed a sirup in small quantities made about half granulated sugar and half water, either hot or cold process hot preferred and fed warm in an Alexander or Boardman feeder. Many prefer the Alexcnder as it is handier, safer and less liable to encourage robbing. The bees should be fed about sundown and about one pint per day. Do not put any supers on the hives while feeding sirup. The hives should be located in a partially shaded place, sloping to the southeast. The hives should face the southeast. Never allow horses, cat tle nor pigs to pasture in the bee lot. Sheep may be used to keep the grass down, although some report they pre fer to keep the grass mowed with n scythe. Slopped Those Pains. Timberville, Miss. Miss Gartrude Gatlin, of Timberville, writes: "I did not know anything could stop those womanly pains, from which I suffered for two years, until I tried Cardui.

Havoc Wrought In Poultry House by Pests May Be Avoided by Ap plication of Disinfectant. The chicken mite not only attacks poultry, but horses and even man. According to H. C. Pierce of the. Iowa experiment station, hens attacked by mites cease laying and become poor In flesh, dumpish and listless In action, the feathers roughen and drop out, the head and the comb become pale, and the bird presents a sickly appearance. The adult mite is only about one twentieth or one-twenty-flfth of an inch long. It is grayish except when feeding, when it becomes reddish be cause of the blood it has sucked. Un like the chicken lice, the mite does not live on the birds at all timas, but crawls into cracks at the corners of the roosts and in the poultry house. It generally attacks the fowl when on the roost or the nest. Therefore an examination of the body of the fowl will not usually show the pest. The eggs are laid in cracks or in filth, and the young crawl to the fowls after feeding in the filth for a few days. The best preventives for mites are cleanliness and sunlight. Among the best remedies are kerosene emulsion, kerosene and flake naphthalene and kerosene and carbolic acid. For the first heat a ten cent cake of lauudry soap in a pint of soft water until a paste Is formed, then stir In one pound of commercial cresol and heat or al low to stand until the soap paste is dissolved. Then stir in one gallon of kerosene. For use this mixture should be diluted with fifty parts water. The cresol can be bought for 30 cents a pint at the drug store. It should not touch the skin, as it will cause smart ing. Kerosene emulsion is made by dis solving a pint of shaved hard soap in a nllca of soft water. While still hot add two gallons of kerosene an'', stir. This makes a thick, creamy emulsion, which may be kept as a stock solution. For use it is diluted with ten parts of soft water and ap plied, preferably hot. In two gallons of kerosene dissolve all the flake naphthalene possible and apply without any dilution. This naphthalene has the same rcnetratiug odor as gasoline. It costs from 8 lo 15 cents a pound at the druggists. BUFF ORPINGTONS. Poultry Variety That Has Thrived In America More Than Any Other.
