real FACTS ABOUT HEN MANURE.
Why IL Varies In Quaiity--Nfixing with

why II Varies In ouaiity-NIixing with
Absorbents-Use For Quick Crops.
This substance is richer than the dung
Of other animals because it contains both
the solid and liquid excrement, whereas
the dung of COWS and horses contains
comparatively little of their urine un-
less absorbents have been freely used.
Nitrogen (ammonia) is voided mainly
In the liquid part; hence if both solid
and liquid excrement DE obtained to-
gether this most expensive element Of
plant food is saved, together with the
potash and phosphates in the solid ex-
crement. Hen manure contains all these
manurial substances except what the
fowl retains for sustenance, growth and
eggs. Therefore quality of droppings
depends upon food consumed. Thus a
pen Of fowls fed on concentrated mix
ture Of wheat bran parts, linseed meal
a, ground oats 9, gave manure con-
tanning one-fourth more plant food than
q like pen fed ON cornmeal instead Of
this mixture.
The quality Of hen manure as usually

ed by we'll fed birds, it contains about
so per cent water, per cent nitrogen,
phosphoric acid 1 AID potash one-half
Of per cent, with about 20 per cent in
soluble matter (lime, magnesia, sand,
etc. }, the balance being organic matter
Of little ,omipal value. AT 10 cents,

the nitrogen in ton Of such fresh drop.
pings is worth SO. 90, phosphoric acid 81
potash 40 cents; total value s.. 80 pei
ton. But nearly half Of this nitrogen
may be lost by evaporation, and as it il
| the most valuable part care should be
taken to preserve it. This may be readi
ly done by freely using an absorbent un
der the roosts, also using it in the bar
rels or piles in which the manure il
kept, carefully sheltered from moisture
or heat. Dry earth, we'll dried muck
land plaster Gypsum or sulphate o.
lime) or even finely sifted coal ashei
make excellent absorbents, but not limt
or wood ashes because they might liber
ate the ammonia (nitrogen). Unless
absorbents are thus used and the manure
frequently scraped up, mixed with more
absorbents and put in sheltered place
The American Agriculturist, authority
for the foregoing, calculates that abou
one half its value is lost.

How to Prevent wrinkles.

Wrinkles, Of course, cannot be entire
ly prevented, but there is no use having
as many as most people in middle life
and old age are decorated with. One
does not think any the better or clearer
for wrinklirg up the forehead and screw
ing up the eyes, and yet nine people out
Of ten contract this habit in early youth.
This indulgence soon fixes the wrinkles,
and they never go away. The habit,
too, of making faces indicative of the
various emotions contributes a great
many Of these spoilers of beauty. A
placid expression is certainly very much
more lovely either in man or woman
than one disturbed by useless grimaces.
An even temper and a patient mind
will do wonders in the way of smooth
ing ont tho vrinkled brow of care.

If man be very we'll supplied with

times even sensible persons bearing this
relationship to one another will clash.
When you find that there is likely to be
a disagreement, and if you wish to avoid
it, don { make the mistake of entering
into an argument of the subject. Talk,
when a man and woman disagree, never
mended matters yet. The best way is to
silently seem TO acquiesce. You can
have your own way just as much with
out proclamation as with one. When
your mother.in-l law makes a plan for
your family which does not please you,
don't adopt it, but don't talk about it.

Reea DESTROYING Fruits.

Bcekeepers and fruit growers do not
agree on the question of bees destroying
fruits. Meehan tells in his monthly that
"'honey bees destroy grapes, raspberries
and other fruits. He explains the
whole method as follows:
The bees are not able to bite the skin,
but, in the grape particularly, they start
near the attachment of the berry with its
stalk where it requires scarcely any force
to thrust the tongue through. There are
some beekeepers who keep bees without
taking the slightest interest in provid.

ONLY THE VERY BEST


H. ~ tM9 AlAtM &I1trs
Thousands Of people at this time of the
year find themselves in a low state of
health, and many are now asking the
question, How can I regain health and
strength and feel as I ought to feeI?s
For the benefit of people who ask this
question. it may be stated that some of
the best physicians in the land say that
Nature requires assistance, the sluggish
blood needs stirring up, impurities driven
from the system, and the great organs
Of the body endowed with new life.
For producing these effects no stimulant
has ever equalled pure malt whiskey,
providing it really is pure and free
from adulteration. Eminent physicians
throughout the world agree on this
point.
DR.. S. Weir-Mitchell Philadelphia,
says: II adhere to the belief that pure
whiskey is the least injurious, safest
and best alcoholic liquor.
Dr.. Frank H.. Wade, Pittsburg, says:
After many years of careful study, /
am firmly convinced that whiskey is the
least Injurious, and, therefore. the
safest and best of alcoholic liquors for
people to USE
While the above opinions carry
weight n conviction. it must be re-
membered that ordinary whiskey cannot
be depended upon and will usually do
more harm than good. What people in
a weak, rundown condition need is
a pure medicinal whiskey. and the only
whiskey that has ever answered this de-
scription is Duffy's malt.
