CHICKS should have some bone meal
PURE water should always be in

HENS for mothers should be strong
birds from two to three years old.
OLD hens often fail to make good
mothers. They become cranky and un-
reliable.
A RED comb is the sign of health. 1t

A Matter OF Health

TT costs more to make Royal Baking Powder
than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost Of Royal over the best of the others
does not equal the difference in leavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required. the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used.
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety. All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.

Bet Feed for Young Pigs.

It is not easy to say what is the best
food for any animal under any circum-
stances, but experience has shown that
young pigs will make a satisfactory
growth on feed of buckwheat meal
made into rather thick slop with
warm water or sweet skinned milk.
This feed may be varied by changing
to corn meal and bran treated the SAME
way. Young pigs THUS fed have grown
in three months to weight of over one
hundred pounds A change of food is
always desirable, as it tends to stimu-
late the appetite and increase growth.

VERBAL consistency and the eternal
fitness of things have, in the opinion
of the New York Sun, met with small
respect at the hands of those who have
had the bestowal Of geographical
names In this country for the past half
century. The early settlers were con-
tent either to accept musical Indian
names where they found them or TO
repeat the geographical names Of
those countries they had left behind,
but the map OF the United States now
Is n memorial to n thousand things In
which the people of this country have
little or no interest. A few sample In
constituencies are Soudan, as n village
name in Mississippi; Walhalla, as the
county seat of Oconec county, $. c.;
Nevada, as the name of county In
southern Arkansas, where snow must
be rare sight In even the coolest win
tiers; Freeport, in western Nebraska,
miles from navigable water, and Fair
haven, in northern Kansas, equally re-
moved from anything that could be
