How to Keep Poultry in 3ood Condition
While In Transit.
Shipping poultry to market should be
done in O humane manner. The object
of the illustration is to show how food
and water should be provided. rather
than to present design of a shipping
coop. 1t is we'll known that there is
not only a loss from death on the jour
ney to market. but also Il great loss
from ''shrinllage,'' due to the sufferings
of the birds from insufficient supply of
water. A cup is placed at one end of
the coop but the birds do net know
that the cup is there, and only those
next the cup are supplied. The food is
also thrown on the floor, where it is
trampled under foot in filth. The
coop should be light, and may be made
of Stats, wire or any lighl material. al

work Of saving life and relieving pain and
distress, and is content to do without biog-
raphers, and leaves his praise to be sung by
the grateful patients he has cured. What

be than that of ministering to the sick and

To say that DR.. Kilmer is the leading ply

For over forty years he has devoted his life
and talents-of which nature has most rich
ly endowed him-to the study of disease and
its successful treatment. During that time,
he has personally examined, prescribed for
and successfully treated nearly half mil
lion patients. In treating so vact an army
of invalids it has enabled him to thor
oughly perfect, test and prove the merits of
his priceless prescriptions.
In the early days of his practice and later
on DIR. Kilmer found the Same old difficulty
confronting him that has bafflcd every ply

thus together. big and little, the feed
ing time exhibits a constant conten-
ton and mastery of the stronger over
the weaker, which results in impaired
growth.
The better plan is to raise no more
chickens than can be accommodated in
yards of ample size-a yard for each
brood of lS or 20 chicks, and let each
brood have a house to itself of size to
accommodate the chicks until they are
well grown and ready to be sold or
transferred to the regular poultry
house. Thus one always knows where
his chickens are. He knows that enc
mics cannot we'll reach them, and that
the work needed to care for them has
been reduced to minimum.
The illustration shows a plan for
such chicken yards and houses that l
think will commend itself to the
chicken raiser. The yards are side by

therefore, to devote his talents to the study
and discovery of the means not only to re-
lieve, cure and restore these all important
organs to health when they were diseased,
but to strengthen and stimulate them so that
they should properly perform their neces

investigation and experiments resulted in
the discovery of a compound now known as
Dr. Kilmcr's Swamp-Root. The phenom-
cnal success of this great remedy has DEM

great advantage. as they do not, like
the Red Indian, show black pin feathers

for delicacy of flavor and the birds rank

DESTROYING THE CURRENCY.
How Mut,lated Money Is Disposed Of and

How Mutilatcd Money Ia Disposed Of and
tho Circulating Medium Removed.
Nearly every working-day in the
year, at about two o'clock in the after
noon queer procession may be seen
threading its way through certain dark
corridors of the United States treasury
building. The procession starts from
the Redemption division of the Office of
the controller of the currency, proceeds
down the long corridor to the south
west fight Of stairs and then dcscends
to the sub-bnsement Then it marches
along another corridor short distance,
and suddenly turns into large room,
in which is steam engine and a huge
iron tank.
This procession represents all the au-
thority of the National Bank Redcmp-
ton agency. The room in which it
comes to hnlt contains the machinery
for the destruction of worn and mutt
lated currency.
The tank referred to is in reality a
big steol reservoir into which steam is
introduced. 1t is provided with a grind
ing apparatus, and is called macer-
ater. Previous to the arrival Of the
PROCESSION tlc luaCHlne HAS DeeH teSIeu
by the engineer in charge. An engine
of about thirty horsepower is required
to operate it. When the boxes are
brought into the destruction room, the
agents of the government and the
banks each produce a key, which is in
serted in lock connecting with the
macerater. After all the keys have
performed their duties the macerater is
opened. Then a lot of red tape is un-
wound from the treasure boxes, and
the man who carried them from the re-
demption division lifts them one after
another and dumps their contents into
the reservoir. AS soon as the last pack
age Of bills has left the box the cover
to the macerater is relocked, the engi.
neer starts his engine, and the huge
| grinders begin to perform their task.
1t must not be supposed for q momen,
that the money thus destroyed is lost
to circulation. When national bank
dispatches mutilated currency to the
treasurer of the United States checl,
is Immediately sent by him to the bank
representing the sum received. When
