What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of theurinary
passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity 9f being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect of 5 w amp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable «
health restoring prop
erties. If you need a Ir* ***'-SpgwyS
medicine you should T1
have the best. Sold by
and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle sent free
by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y. Mention this paper and
remember the name, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, and the address, Bingbamton,
N. Y., on every bottle.

INCUBATOR AMD BROODER.
Are you using one? I do not mean
by this question, have you one, for I
take It for granted that any person
who makes any pretentions of rais
ing chicks has an incubator. But,
are you using it, or is it stored awaj
until summer?
If so, get it out, and get It busy.
Now, right now, is the time to
have it running full capacity.
If you have none, buy one at once,
but whatever you do, get the best you
can buy.
There are a number of splendid
machines and also those that are
oheaper and very little account.
You can waste more time and
money fooling with a poor machine
than they are worth.
Every one has his favorites, same
as I have, but that does not signify
they are the only good machines
made. Do not follow every person's
advice in operating the incubator.
Follow the instructions with each
machine. J do not presume to say an
incubator can do it all; the operator
must see that the eggs are from vig
orous stock to Insure fertility; that
they are not too old to hatch.
If this has been done the incuba
tor will do its part.
The incubator has many advantages
over the hen. It Is always ready for
business.
It requires lamp filling, lighting,
and a few minutes" attention morning
and evening. How much time would
you devote to a sufficient number of
hens to cover the same amount of
oggs?
There is much written about incu
bators and so Mttle about brooders.
You can hear so many wno operate
Incubators, say, "I have no trouble
to hatch chicks but I am not very
successful in raising them."
Why this trouble?*
I firmly believe the greatest trouble
is In not brooding properly. I have
used a number of different makes of
'brooders.
I have learned this nmrh about
brooder chicks. They must have suffi
cient heat under the hover, and plenty
of fresh air outside.
The question of fresh air I believe
is the solution of raising chicks In
brooders. Do not overlook the brood
ers.
An Incubator without a good brood
er Is as useless as a seeder without
seed.—B. A. Hastings in the Fanners'
Home Journal.
INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS
The most profitable breed of water
fowl or other poultry Is the Indian
Runner ducks, a native of India were
exported to England where now -they
are a great favorite with the poultry
breeders. After a few years trial in
the United States, they have become
such favorites with breeders that the
supply of eggs and stock are not equal
to the demand. Many parties last
season could not get stock or eggs
for hatching and the demand for eggs
this spring will be greater than ever.
They are not large, generally called
Leghorn of duck family, but they
produce the eggs, even in zero wea
ther. They are easily confined In
pens; a 24 inch will hold them. Re
quire water only - for drinking pur
poses. They are great foragers and
if allowed to range will gather a
large part of their feed. A feed at
evening will always bring them home
ready to be shut in pen till after lay
ing time next morning after which
they may be given range of farm
for the day. Some breeders report
as high ns 250 eggs for each fowl
for the year. They are easily raised
and require no more feed than our
pens of Orpingtons or Rocks.
We have bred them for seven years
and have only praise for them. By
culling and selection last year we got
eggs every month in tho year.
Anyone wanting to raise poultry
for profit would do well to make a
start with the Indian Runner ducks.
—G. Frank Yates In the Farmers'
Home Journal.
HAW;KS DESTROYING QUAIL
I have noticed several articles on
the quail and quail hunters in your
paper, and they have attracted my
attention to the loss of iuall due to
hawks. During this season when the
ground is covered with snow the
hawk's principal diet Is quail. While
driving along a road near a hedpe
recently, I noticed a hawk In hot pur
suit of a quadl, but the quail flew into
the hedge and escaped. Two days
later I passed the same way and again
saw the hawk waiting for its prey.
I killed it, and upon examination
found that it had been feeding on
quail.
'Kpon another .occasion I. shot, a
hawk and investigation showed that
it had Just eaten four quails. This
goes to show that a covey quails
will not last long when thqre are
?*i»»)pks around,
1 think there is no species o? ha'wks.
exoept the sparrow hawk, that do
not destroy quail, as well as other
small birds, especially during the
winter season. \
Some people think the spar-ow 1
hawk, as the name implies, lives
principally oft sparrows, but -this is
not the case. Its name in taken from
the size of the bird, which is tbo
smallest of its species. The sparrow
hawk should be rigidly protected, a-
I have never yet seen It attack bird*
of any kind, bat It does destroy num
bers of mice and worms and Insects.
TM benefits derived from the hawk
family, except the sparrow hawk, does
not compare witn the damage they
do. Therefore lam In favor of a sta'e
•bounty on hawks.—E. B. In the In
diana Fanner.
FATTENING POULTRY
Poultry fatten much more quickly
and with less feed when confined to
a small area than when running at
large. It is little use to try to fatten
a bdrd that has not attained its growth
or very nearly. It will grow but not
fatten. ,
About three weeks before wanted
for rfiarket confine the birds to fat
tened In a small rather dark place,
either coopAor pen. See that they
are free from lice and keep their
quarters comfortably clean. Supply
them with plenty of grit and with
charcoal to keep their digestion good.
Feed a mash of corn meal and beef
scraps, all they will eat, but do not
leave It by them, as it is likely to
sour and causo indigestion. Give
them whole corn also, to 'break the
monotony occasionally, and a small
feed of raw meat or green bone twice
a week to keep them vigorous and
the appetite from getting cloyed.
They should have plenty of fr«sb
water at all times.—Weekly Sun.
GREEN FOOD.
Fowls must have green food at all
times, winter as well as summer. In
the middle South blue-grass generally
furnishes green food In winter, and
other grasses may serve farther
South. In the North where snow
sheets off the pasturage, cabbage and
beets are good subsitute; also clover,
hay and alfalfa may be out fine and
fed in the mash The hay may be fed
dry, but not so successfully, Experi
ments have shown the great Import
ance of green food in egg production.
A liberal supply. It is said, will bring
two dozen more eggs to the hen each
year than if the supply is scant—•
Farmers' Home Journal.
THREAT OF ROUP.
Oo .Into the poultry house after
the birds have gone to roost and
listen. If you hear any of the fowls
making a rattling noise when they
breath, you can make up your mind
that they have caught cold and it be
hooves you to get busy. A cold Is a
forerunner of roup, tlnd Bhould be
checked In the Incipient stage. Have
a bottle of some good roup cure
nlways at hand for emergency cas>;a.

Bearo In Pennsylvania,
Pennsylvania game laws 'bring the
open season for killing bears to a
close with the year, and the state
game commissioner says that the
hnnl'ijj; season of 1909 will go on rt»c
ord as one of the best in the his
tory of the state. "Bears were plen
tiful," he says, "and I think that fully
four hundred have lreen shot. In al
most every one of the mountainous
counties they were, reportted abun
dant. and hunters secured some fine
specimens. I do not think the clos
ing of. the season with the , year
works a hardship on anyone. It
gives the bears a chJince, and as the
feispn for other game Is now closed,
too, the wild creatuif>s will not b#
distrrbed." —Utica Press.
