i&KIESO SICK SEVEN MONTHS Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Aurora. 111. "For seven long months I suffered from a female trouble, with severe pains in my back and sides until I became so weak I could hardly walk from chair to chair, and got so nervous I would jump at the slightest noise. I was entirely unfit to do my house work, I was giving up hope of ever be ing well, when my sister asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. I took six bottles and today I am a healthy woman able to do my own housework. I wish every suffering woman would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and find out for themselves how good it is." Mrs. Carl A. Kieso, 696 North Ave., Aurora, 111. The great number of unsolicited tes timonials on file at the Pinkham Lab oratory, many of which are from time to time published by permission, are- Eroof of the value of Lydia E. Pink am Vegetable Compound, in the treatment of female ills. Every ailing woman in the United States is cordially invited to write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.

That rolling stone among authors, Jlarry de Windt, tells the following good story of his adventures on the Yukon: One day he and a "partner" lie had picked up in Dawson were going on a trip in midwinter. The cold was, of course, intense. Just as they were on the point of starting, Ids companion dumped a number of hard, sharp-pointed articles in the sleigh, pitching them rather unceremoniously on top of a sack of oatmeal. "Look here," protested De Windt, "don't put those tent pegs on the oat meal. They'll poke their points through the bag and there'll be a leak." "These ain't tent pegs," explained the other, rather scornfully; "they're beefsteaks." And so they were, cut and ready for use on the line of march. Sense of Justice.

Chicken-eating hogs should either be cured immediately or disposed of as they are a menace not only to the Hock but to the rest of the hunch of lgs and the pocket book as well. No real healthy, profitable hog will eat chickens and this habit is a result of disease or unbalanced ration. Corn fed hog, those following fattening cat tie, a suckled-down sow, boar shut in a tight pen, or runty pigs usually de velop into this pest. In most cases it can be cured by feeding carrion, which in itself is a dangerous practice; the better way is to feed tankage. If I were going to try to cure a chicken eat er I would- feed an overdose of tank age at first so as to be sure the animal got enough of the food it was craving, then reduce the amount to a more nearly-balanced ration, but rather over than under usual amount, because this an imal, being in an abnormal condition may be able to assimilate a greater amount of high-protein carrying food, says a writer. It is not every animal that will yield to treatment but the man who has chicken eaters around better begin to get nervous else something worse will strike him. It is merely a symptom that the hog is not quite in the pink of condition, therefore more liable to catch the germs of cholera and the like, or form a culture and develop a case of genuine cholera. If there is any thing in this germ theory, there are most all kinds of germs sailing around everywhere and most all the time. Gen erally they are not numerous enough to be feared by the animal in good con dition and the chicken eater should, be cured immediately or disposed of. FENDERS IN FARROWING PEN They Should Be cf Sufficient Strength ! to Support Weight of Sow to I Protect Young Pigs. I The farrowing pen should be pro ! vided with fenders around at least three sides, about 6 or 8 inches from the floor and about the same distance from the wall. These should be strong enough to support the weight of the Farrowing Pen With Fenders. sow should she lie on them. They will, to a great extent, protect the pigs from being lain upon during the first few days of their lives. The little fel lows will soon learn to creep under these fenders when the sow lies down. The illustration shows a farrowing pen with fenders made of 2 by 4 scantling fastened around the walls. BEST HEAD OF SHEEP FLOCK Excellent Results Obtained by Using Purebred Mutton Ram on Grade Ewes at Missouri. A good purebred ram should head ev ery flock of sheep. It pays to use such sires on grade ewes. In a Missouri test lambs sired by a purebred mutton ram and out of western ewes weighed two and a half pounds more when sold at three months old than did lambs four months old sired by a scrub ram out of the same grade of ewes. The wellbred lambs were ready a month sooner, ate half as much food and sold for three cents per pound more. EXERCISE FOR THE STALLION Short Walk Each Day Is Not Enough to Keep Him in Good Condition Give Him Some Work. See to it that the stallion is getting plenty of exercise. A short walk each day is not enough to keep him in the best of condition. Stallion owners are coming to rec ognize the fact that the best way to keep the stallion hard and fit -vita the least expense and trouble ic to give him a moderate amount of work throughout the year. He will make a reliable work horse and will be more peaceful in the stable. HORSE MUST HAVE EXERCISE Animals Should Not Be Confined Too Closely Nor Exposed to Extreme ly Bad Weather. (By K. A. TROWBRIDGE, Missouri Col lege of Agriculture) Growing horses should not be housed too closely in winter and pre vented from taking plenty of exercise, but they should not be subjected to extremely bad weather If they are ex pected to make satisfactory growth- ! - BARRED ROCK COCKEREL A new breed of poultry has come out from the west and demands the attention of practical poultry keep- ! ers. The Oregons being the name of I the new breed, it is hardly necessary i to say that it had its origin In the state of Oregon. The crossing of White Leghorns and Barred Plymouth Rocks produced the original Oregons, which have been bred up to the pres ent type by introducing much more Leghorn blood. Prof. James Dryden of the Oregon Agricultural college, where the work was done, says that egg production was the first consideration in the making of the new breed, but that another purpose was to develop, an all-round type of bird that would meet the market demands. The Oregon is medium in weight be tween the Leghorn and Plymouth Rock, making it a good general pur- OBTAIN WINTER EGGS Make Conditions as Near Like Summer as Possible. Sprouted Grains Furnish Easiest So lution of Problem Oats Rank Higher Than Corn More Fat Than in Wheat. (By C. S. ANDERSON', Colorado Agricul tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.) Many people believe that if they furnish a reasonably comfortable house, and supply a little corn, or whatever grain happens to be avail able, that there is no excuse for their hens not filling the winter egg basket. Spring and summer seasons are the natural times for hens to lay, and if they are made to lay through the winter, conditions must be nrade as near like their natural laying season as possible. Sprouted grains furnish the best so lution. As a protein or egg-prodncing feed, oats ranks much higher than corn and contains more fat than wheat. Its high proportion of hull to kernel makes it bulky and unpalatable. Sprouting overcomes this difficulty, and also furnishes the green feed so essential. Oats can be sprouted and fed at 4 to 0 inches high more eco nomically than roots or vegetables can be produced. The time required for the growth is short, the amount of succulent material is large and in creased egg production is invariably the result. One hundred pounds - of oats can be increased to 3r0 to 400 pounds of succulent feed. It is an easy matter to construct a home made sprouter, but unless a warm room is available, and if many birds are to be fed, it is advisable to purchase one of the several reliable sprouters now on the market. RATS IN THE CHICKEN YARD No Trouble in Getting Rid of Them by Poisoning with Cornmeal and Sugar o Lead. Rats cause great losses in many poultry yards. There Is no trouble in getting rid of them by poisoning with a mixture of two parts cornmeal and one part sugar of lead. The hand should not come in contact with the poison feed, and all other feeds should be removed so the rats cannot get them. The poisoned feed may be kept away from the chickens by putting it in a tray, nailed to the middle of the bot tom of a box at least a foot square and six inches high. The box should be closed on all sides except for a number of inch and a half holes bored through the sides near the'bottom. Burn or bury the dead rats so that chickens cannot eat them. The de cayed flesh of even unpoisoned rats Is likely to cause limber neck, as pto maine poison is called in chickens. FEED HOPPER IS IMPORTANT Arrange Feed Box So That Material Will Not Be Scratched Out by Fowls and Wasted. In all well managed poultry houses the dry feed hopper plays an impor tant part. It is therefore important that these be put in order or new ones built ns may be required, j In the construction of new hoppers 'so arrange the feeding box that feed Iwill not be scratched out and wasted.

BREED FOR EGG PRODUCl High-Laying Hens Cannot Be D ed On to Produce Chicks j Good as Themselves. The results of breeding for ed duct ion at the Ontario experime tion are an interesting suppleni the work so long carried on Maine station. It will be remen that the conclusion of the Mail tion was that hens with high records cannot be depended uj produce chicks as good as them even when the males of the flo of the same stock. The Ontario station conclude many 200-ogg' hens are not inucn as ureotiers or L'W-egg p but a few appear as if their i were out of the ordinary and so their sons have been very good ers. In other words, the power of : mitting the heavy-laying quality i , sessed by some individuals, but n j others. This is essentially the id which the Maine station is now ing with the aim of selecting and the birds which have this transm j quality. It was found by the Ontario st j that the chicks hatched from tha I lected birds began to lay much e: j in the fall and laid in November : five times as many eggs as coil pullets. Their excellence was la in their power to lay eggs in tht and winter. In the summer the mon pullets were considered abo good layers as the others. CUT BONE ENCOURAGES E Lessens Death Rate in Chicks, Keeps Old Stock in Healthie Condition in Winter. 'By WILLIAM JACK.) When I commenced feeding cut bone, about the first thing I did was to find its feeding value by actual test. liens under like conditions, with fresh-cut green bone added to their feed laid nearly twice as many eggs in the winter season and a third more in the summer season than did the lot without the bone. Fifty-eight chicks hatched at the same time from the same kind of egg were divided into two lots and treated the same, except one lot was fed some extra. The lot with bone extra to their feed grew much faster and at the end of 13 weeks, the end of the test, n person would never have thought the two lots were the same. The lot fed the bone were not only larger, but had clearer and brighter plumage. The lot that ate the bone went through the test with the loss of but one, while the lot without the bone sustained a loss of five. This, with other observations, leads me to believe feeding bone will lessen the death rate in chicks and that old stock will be healthier.
