The Use of Fertilizers.

You cannot, by the use OF CONNER
cial fertilizers alone, make your land
rich. Indeed, if they are ignorantly
applied, the result will be the impov=
erishment of the soil. If you add ten
dollars to your bank account and check
out $40, you know the result. In like
manner, when you use small guam
tity of your fertilizer, it grows vigor-
Gus plant, which enables it to gather
fertility from the soil largely in excess
Of the materials added by the fertilizer.
Judiciously used, they are great boon
to the farmer. But, I repeat, the best
method of using the phosphates and
potash salts is On the pea and clover
crops. It insures, as rule, a fine
crop of these renovators. - Southern
States Farm Magazine.

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

It is not a common occurrence that a
friendly word should be the means Of Civ.
ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice il
carried: This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was draeging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one she
finds herself SO active and strong she can
do work that would shame many a younger
woman, and looks back on tfiirty-six
happy. healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and the v
blistered my side in IN effort to give me
relief. I was at that time earring nv
living as tailoress. but for FIVE Years
between the pain in my side and the
blisters I was in constant misery, and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
Of relief; fortunately for me, however, a
friend advised me to take DR.. Ayers Sar
sapariila, and finally persuaded me to tax e
regular course of it. When first com
menced taking the sarsaparilla my side
was so painful that could not fasten nv
dress. and for time I did not get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per-
severe and relief was sure to come, and
come it did. This happened, as say,
thirty-six years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these wears
have passed through the most critica
period of woman's life without any par
ticular trouble, and to-day, at sixty.one
years Of age, am active and strong, aud

DR.. Ayers Sa1saparilla has won Its wav
to every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who havet tried it and
who know they were cured by the use of
the remedy. There is nothing so strong
as this personal testitn ony. 1t throws ali

the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors.. sores.
ulcers, boils, eruption7 and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in complete cure.
Mary Lingard began with bottle. and
went on to course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rllla. When she was cured she realized
that medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it. So she took couple
OF bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are thousands of similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the

tal-at most, very little. Get few
hens and hatch the flock. One does not
need costly henhouses, bone cutters, in
cubators and so on to start with. MANY
of the most profitable flocks have never
seen anything of these luxuries. Most
farm f1ocks are kept in the barn with
the other stock, though shut away from
it, and as to bone cutters, ETC., no barn
flock needs them. Woe unto the one
who starts with large capital. One
of the strongest points in favor of poul-
try keeping is that it requires very lit
tie capital.-Dakota Farmer.

simply as a resort in the winter for
scratching. It is made low, not only
to cheaper the cost, but also because
it is better protection against winds
than one that is higher. The shed has
a ground floor, and should contain
leaves or cut straw, into which a handful
of millet seed should be thrown as an
inducement for the hens TO scratch.
The roof and sides of both the house
and shed may be covered with tarred pa

which will permit of the use of cheap

A Few Reliable Health ana Disease
Indication

A Few Reliable Health and Disease
Indicat tons.
When fowls are judiciously fed, made
to take exercise, and their quarters kept
clean and free from filth, there is COM
paratively no trouble with sickness, ex-
cept in cases OF contagion.
When the combs and wattles of the
fowls are of a bright red color, it indi
Gates the condition of good health.
When the fowls are busy scratching,
the hens laying and singing, and the
cocks Growing, these are signs of good
health.
When you can enter the hen house
after dark and hear no wheeling, it
proves there are not any roupy fowls in
the flock
When the manure is hard, and por-
ton of it white, it indicates healthy
condition of the digestive organs.
When the edge of the comb and wat
ties are purplish red and the move
ments sluggish, there is something
WRONG.
When fowls lie around, Indifferent to
their surroundings, they are too fat,
and death from apoplexy, indigestion
or liver complaint will result unless the
trouble is corrected
When the fowls are restless and con-
stantly picking their feathers, they are
infested with vermin.
When young poultry, especially duck
lings, appear to have a sore throat, and
swallowing is difficult, it is the symp-
tom of the large gray lice on the neck.
If the fowl has bilious lock, with al
ternate attacks of dysentery and cos
tiveness. it is suffering with liver COM
plant. A lack of grit, overlooking and
idleness will cause this trouble.
A hospital should be a part of every
poultry yard. AS soon as fowl gets
i'll, remove it to the hospital and COM

with far too many is that they wait I'M
til the disease is in it's advanced stages
before giving medicine. A very sick
fowl is difficult to cure. and when cured
it is seldom of va'uc afterward.-R

How to Keep Chicks Healthy.

Charcoal, crushed and ground oyster
shells and stone grit should be kept in
small shallow boxes where the chicks
can help themselves. Feed often, but
only what the chicks will eat up clean
in say, five minutes, and keep the feed
tray and drinking fountain as clean as
soap and hot water Occasionally can
make them. The practice of dumping a
lot of food down on the ground or on a
dirty board is poor economy. It will
save time, but it will not save the chicks.

BROOKFIELD.
THE WAR EXCITEMENT.

War news is the topic of the hour, ard
of all the hours. Even the children are
coming out strong, but in acts more than
words. The first company to form in
BroOkfield was on Friday evening of last
week, after which they marched through
the principal streets to the sound of horns
and drums. They marched as far south
as Poverty Row and north to Frog Pond
Hollow, where your correspondent learns
the frogs joined their pipings to the
cheers Of the company. If the fire flies
had been out there would have been no
need of lanterne, but as there was only
one lantern in the company, and that q
dark lantern, it was not very effective.
If they will give notice hereafter OF the
date and line Of march, no doubt but the
good citizens of Brookfield will illumi'
nate their dwellings.
