Heed The Warning

It is not infrequently the case that
itching pimples and irritating scat
boils' are the forerunners of larger
boils, or the more serious carbuncles.
Invariably Nature puts out her danger
signals, and they should be needed at
once. The pimples and little boils
show that the blood is not in a good
condition and nature is trying to re-
lieve the system. A few doses of
Swifts Specific at this juncture willac-
complish wonders. The eruption will
be healed and the system cleansed of
its impurities. The modern para
phrase Of the old saying, "A stitch in
time, ETC., is that "Timely stitches will
save nine pairs of breeches." The mod
ern form has a touch of humor that
does not modify the truth of it. In
that vein, we may say that course Of
Swift's Specific prevents ills terrihc.i

A Choice List of Summer Resorts,

POULTRY NOTES.
No. 8.

The early bird catches the worm ; it
is also the early worm that gets caught.
The same may be said of early
chicken raising it is best if you have
a.sutable place, to ha,ch 4 few early
chicks, but if you have not they will
surely get caught.
Don't make the mistake of putting
too many eggs under the hen, in cold
weather, as the outside ones are apt
to get chilled, and as the hen changes
the position of the eggs they will all in
turn get to the outside, and a poor
hatch will be the result.
Pick out your best male and few of
your best females, place them by
themselves, and breed from them
alone, thereby bringing your flock to a
higher standard.
Don't set your hens in the same box
every year, for no doubt it is full of
vermin; burn it, and make an entirely
new one, and you will save yourself
and chickens from being pestered with
lice.
The time to do this is now, before
you forget it; if left till the hen wants
to set you Il not have time.
Saturate your roosting poles
thoroughly with coal oil before spring
opens, as that will destroy both lice
and nits that may be waiting for warm
,yaoth to Jn their work

The Spring Medicine.

The popularity which Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has gained as spring medicine
is wonderful. 1t possesses just those
elements of healthgiving, blood-puri-
flying and appetite-restoring which
everybody seems to need at this sea-
son. Do not continue in a dull, tired,
unsatisfactory condition when you
may be SO much benefited by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t punfes the blood and
makes the weak strong.

he purchased for the Valley Co., the
tract of land around Harvey's Lake
that has been owned by the English

gives the company 6o,ooo acres OF the

which it will require years to clean.

The LAST EVE oE SUMNER.

-
Summers last sun, nigh unto setting, shines
Through yon columnar pines,
And, on the deepening shadows Of the lawn,
Its golden lines are drawn,
Dreaming of long gone summer days like this
Feeling the winds soft kiss,
Grateful and glad that failing ear and sight
Have still their old delight,
] sit alone and watch the warm, sweet day
Lapse tenderly away;
And, wistful, with a feeling of forecast,
j ask: rs this the last!
'Wil nevermore for me the seasons run
Their round, and will the sun
OF ardent summers yet TO come forget
For me TO rise and setf'
Thou shouldst be here, or / should be with thee
Wherever thou mayst be,
Lips mute, hands clasped, in silences OF speech
Each answering unto each.
AT this still hour, which hints OF mystery Tar
Beyond the evening star,
No words outworn suffice from lip OF SCROLL
The soul would fain with soul
Wait, while these few, swift-passing days fulfill
The wise. disposing Will,
And, in the evening as at morning, trust
The All Merciful and Just.
The solemn joy that soul-communion feels
Immortal life reveals;
And human love, its prophecy and sign,
Interprets love divine.
Come then, in thought, II that alone may be,
o friend! and bring with thee
Thy calm assurance Of transcendent Spheres,
And the Eternal Years

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

If you can increase the wood pile
these fine DAYS, it will increase the fine
fire on cold nes
IT would be well if we had more Holt
DAYS on the farm. Just as much work
would be done at the end of the year.
A holiday well spent gives vigor and en-
thusiasm.
The National Department of Agri-
culture says that the average yield Of
corn in the United States will be 1919
bushels per acre; Of potatoes, SIS; of
hay, 1.20 tons.
FARMERS get many valuable hints
from one another in the discussion
about farming that they naturally fall
into when they get together and away
from work. Let us have more neigh
borbood gatherings and more institutes.
SECURE better Observation-Disclosures
upon which your products can be taken
more cheaply over the first stages of
your journey to the consumer. After
you have done this you may engage in
the reform of railways and commission
