OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS A medicinal preparation like Dr. Kil Ker's Swamp-Root, that has real curative value almost pells itself. Like an endless chain, system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those j who are in need of it. Dr. Kilmer's Swarap-Root is a physi cian's prescription. It has- been tested for years and has brought results to count less numbers who have suffered. The success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact that it fulfills almost ev ry .wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. Do not suffer. Get a bottle of Swamp Root from any druggist now. Start treat ment today. However, if you wish first to test this treat preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a ample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Adv. Baseball in Sculpture. One of the attendants at an art gal lery is a baseball enthusiast, a fact he geuerally manages to conceal there, though it did come out once. One afternoon a director came bus tling into the room where this attend ant was at the time and demanded: "How is it that Shakespeare's statue is standing on a pedestal marked Scott?" "Well, sir," answered the attend ant, 'iie must have got his base on an error." IS CHILD GROSS. Look, Mother! If tongue is coated, give ''California , Syrup of Figs." Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender .tomaeh, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, xystera full of cold, has sore throat, toinach-ache or diarrhea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and In a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the sys tem, and you have a well child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it nev er fails to act on the st.oma.ch, liver and bowels. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv.

Nothing Is bettor than milk on which to raise thrifty, growing calves, whether they are intended for the dairy, the feed lot or the show ring. The ordinary fanner often finds milk too expensive as ,i calf feed. The fol lowing substitute is recommended by the Massachusetts Experiment sta tion : Twenty-two pounds ground outs, ten pounds linseed meal, five pounds middlings, 11 pounds tine corn meal, lJi pounds tine blood meal, one half pound salt. Total cost, three cents a pound. Prepare by adding one-half pound of meal to two mmrts of boilinz water , feeti At each feedinir moisten the meal first with a Utile cold water to prevent it forming lumps, and then pour on the boiling water, and stir well. When this is cooled down to the temperature of milk fresh drawn from the cow it is ready to feed. It is better to let the calf have whole milk for about a week, then gradually introduce a little of the milk substi tute for ten days or two weeks, when you can cut out the milk entirely. As- soon as the op If will eat, let it have hay and a little of the meal dry, together with fresh water. Always have the calf meal mixture milk warm when fed. Have the buckets clean and do not overfeed. A young calf will usually begin to eat hay at about three weeks old. COW NEEDS' RESTING PERIOD Some Animals Maintain Good Milk Flow Right Up to Calving Time Rest Is Important. The dairying department of the New i Jersey agricultural experiment station i recommends that the dairy farmer i should remember to give his cows a ; rest of six weeks or more before they freshen. Some cows may maintain a good flow of milk right up to calving time, and in such cases the dairyman hesitates to dry them off for a rest period of several weeks. This should be done, however, and the cow well fed so that she will he in good flesh when she freshens. The work of producing a heavy yield of milk for ten months or a year is a j severe drain upon the cow's strength ! nnd vitality, and a period of rest should be given her to recuperate and j prepare for another lactation period, i If she finishes her milking period quite i thin in flesh, she should be given a longer dry period and more liberally j fed. The loss of what milk the cow ; might produce during the dry period will be made up several times over by an Increased yield during the fol lowing lactation period. A good rest and liberal feeding preceding the date of calving helps largely to bring about a good yield during the following year. RECORD OF LEADING BREEDS Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire and Hol-stein-Friesian Have 16,155 Animals Registered. The following are the records of the four leading breeds of dairy cattle for the last year : Jersey G.140 cows registered; aver pge yield, 7.S16 pounds; average but "terfat, 418 pounds; average per cent, 5.35. Guernsey 5.081 cows registered ; Jit Ayrshire Cow. average yield, 8.846 pounds; average butrerfar, 441 pounds; average pt cent, 4.07. Ayrshire 2.Tv cows registered; average yioi.l. l,447 pounds; average butterfat, o72.D pounds; average per cent, 3Jl. flolstein-Friesian 2,742 cows regis tered; average yield, 14.G10 pounds; average butterfat, r.0t pounds; average per cent, 3.4. MILK AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS Utilize Every Possible Morsel of Food Teeth and Stomach Wear Out First in Cow. Every possible morsel of food fed to dairy cows should be utilized for the production of milk and butterfat. The teeth and the stomach are the two organs of a cow which wear out first, especially the former. This Is caused in great part by the cow having to eat hard dry unground grain. There is an old saying, "No chain is stronger than Its weakest link." With the dairy cow also this holds true. When one organ of digestion wears out, then the whole cow is useless. A good dairy cow should be kept as long as possible, and if she la properly fed and cared for, she will be useful for about fifteen years. Some give a nice mess of milk at the age of twenty years. L M. IMPORTANT WORK IN THE POULTRY YARD i ' ! i WHITE ORPINGTON COCK AND HEN. I ! I ' (From the United States Department j Agriculture.) j The poultry raiser on farm or in j city who wishes to produce fall and : winter eggs with a by-product? of spring "fryers" should begin now to I play for the early setting of eggs, say j poultry specialists of the United j States department of . griculture. In the states of the extreme South set I tings should be made from the first to the middle of February; in the cen ; tral group of states, from the early j part to the last of February; and in ! the northern tier of states, from the i latter part of February to the early J part of April. With settings timed i on this schedule the chicks will hatch in ample time to allow their maturity ! before cold weather. The pullets from these broods lay during the late : fall or early winter when eggs are ' scarcest. i The setting schedule outlined also will permit the development of early spring "fryers." The young chicks will be developed to the point where they may be turned out on the ground by the time vegetation is out. ami so may augment their feed with green stuff. The smaller breeds of chickens can be hatched later than those which are larger and slower to develop. Incubation. One difficulty in setting eggs in spring at selected dates if the natural system of incubation is followed is in finding broody hens at the proper time. If natural incubation is depended upon exclusively it probably will be best for j the poultry raiser to disregard dates ' and make settings whenever broody hens are available. A good nest for I setting is made of wood, 15 inches I square and about 13 inches high, with ! a top. The front is open except for a I board six inches high. Three or four i inches of damp earth should be placed HANDY EGG CANDLERS Some Sort of Inexpensive Device Should Be at Hand. Simplest Kind of Tester Is Made From Piece of Wrapping Paper, Rolled to Form Tube Fresh Egg Has Pink Tinge. Eggs intended for private trade should be tested or candled for quality. With this in mind, some sort of in expensive candling device should be had. The simplest kind of a tester is made from a piece of wrapping paper j 12 by 24 inches, rolled to form a tube ! 12 inches long. To inspect the egg the j tube is placed to the eye and then the j egg, with the large end uppermost, is ! so placed that the sunlight will strike i it. Many times u dark room can be had, ! but not the sunlight. An ordinary shoe box and a bedroom lamp will be just the thing. A hole is made in the top of I the box and one at the bottom for the I free circulation of air about the lamp. In front of the lamp flame a hole the size of a quarter is made. This candling device is efficient and will, in most cases, meet the needs on the farm. When electric light ing service is avail able and a great many eggs are to be candled, a round cylinder eight inches high and four inches in diuuietei, with two holes in frwnt and one small one in the bottom, is attached to a large "T" extending about 18 inches from the wall. The lamp cord is dropped down the perpendicular pipe to which the cylinder is attached. A GO-candle-power lamp is used to give the best results. With this device four eggs may be handled at a time by an experienced candler. A fresh egg has a pinkish tinge. An egg that has a dark spot the size of a dime on the yolk shows that incuba tion has taken place and the egg is no longer fit for food under ordinary cir cumstances. EXERCISE FOR LAYING HENS A!! Grain Should Be Scattered in Deep, Clean Litter of Straw, Hay or Other M-aterial. No hen can be healthy unless she exercises considerably; therefore, all the grain should be fed in a deep, clean litter of straw, hay or something ot that kind, so that the fowls will obtain exercise in scratching it out. Of ! in such a nest and on this straw, hay, or chaff should be firmly packed. The liens should be dusted thoroughly with insect powder. It is a good plan, also, to sprinkle a little of the powder in the nests. Using an Incubator. The suggested schedule can be fol lowed exactly if an incubator is used. The machine should be operated in a warm. room, preferably a cellar, as a protection against outside tempera- ture changes. It should be disinfected thoroughly before being used, with a solution of a reliable coal-tar disin fectant. Instead of using such so lution a small receptacle containing one-half ounce of permanganate of potash on which one-half ounce of formalin has been poured may be shut up in the incubator. The resulting gas will thoroughly disinfect the ma chine. After disinfection the incuba tor should be run empty for several days to get it in good operating condi tion. After the eggs are in place the temperature should be at from 101 y2 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit the first week, 102 to 103 degrees the second week, and at 103 degrees the third week. The eggs usually are turned for the first time at the end of the second day and twice daily through the eight eenth or nineteenth day. The eggs are cooled outside the hatching chamber once daily after the seventh and up to the nineteenth day. Moisture should be furnished in artificial incubation in the South, in high altitudes, and when the incubator room is dry. This may be done by sprinkling the eggs with warm water or by placing a wet sponge or pan of water under the egg tray. During the hatching period carefully fill the lamp and trim the wick each day. T0 determine laying fowl Pelvic Bones Are Spread Apart About Diameter of an Egg Some Lay ers Have Thin Bones. When a hen is laying, the'two pelvic bones are spread apart about the di ameter of an egg (1 inches) ; other wise it would be impossible for the eggs to pass from the hen without the shell being crushed. As such an ac cident would prove fatal to the layer, nature precluded its occurrence by ex panding or separating the pelvic bones in correlation with the development of the eggs. In the nonlayer, for illustration, the distance between the pelvic bones is the width of one finger or less, and it usually requires from four to six weeks for this hen to graduate from the "one-finger" unproductive class to the "three-finger" active layer. It is apparent that the expansion of the bones is secondary to the development of the eggs; hence, the more rapidly the hen forms her eggs, the faster her pelvic bones are adjusted to the lay ing condition. A few layers have thin, flexible bones (apparently a desirable condi tion) that do not expand so wide as hens with firm bones, and care must be exercised in judging whether such hens :;re laying or not. Clemson College r.ulletin. ERADICATE VERMIN ON HENS Coal Ashes or Dust of Any Kind Will Accomplish Purpose Keep Sup ply in Henhouse. In every poultry house there should be a dust bath where the hens may get rid of lice. Poultry lice breed through pores in their sides and fine dust fills these pores and suffocates the vermin. Road dust, hard coal ashes or dry dust or any kind will accomplish the purpose. PROPER EGGS FOR HATCHING Sound Doctrine to Say That We Should Breed Only From Hens v Discard Eggs From Pullets. Pullets' eggs should not be used foi hatching. It is a sound doctrine to say that we should breed only from hens. The hens do not lay so many eggs before the breeding season and conse quently have a tendency to lay larger eggs and produce better chicks.

When the big freight tie-up first began to look formidable, automobile makers faced a prospective loss running into many millions of dollars, because, ap parently, they could not secure deliv eries. Not until then did it occur to them that, if an automobile was worth anything at all, it should be able to de liver itself. And now what is known to the trade as the "drive-away" has been inaugurated. The cars leave the fac tory and arrive at their destination under their own power.
