AN ENDLESS WARFARE.
The Farmers Struggle Against Foul
try Pests and Injurious Germs
knows No End.

In all lines of live stock husbandry
cleanliness is the one great demand.
The war against dirt and hence against
bacteria and vermin is a war that will
know no end. Let no man suppose
that he can cleanse his house and pens
and trust them to keep clean. The bat
tie must be fought over and over again
and the successful poultryman is the
| determined fighter. The first campaign
| must be made against lice and mites.
| Whitewashing the pens is supposed TO
be great remedy, and without dohbt
1t is a good one, but it is possible for
the pens to be kept clear of lice with
out the use of lime. We realize the
fact that whitewashing has its disad-
vantages. Not only does the pen soon
get to looking very dirty inside, on ac-
count of all dirt showing on the white
background, but very often the pens
become nuisance in that one cannot
step inside them without having the
marks remain on his clothes. There
are washes that may be used and be
quite effective as lime. The man that
has a sprayer can use it easily in his
chicken house and thoroughly wet all
exposed surfaces All cracks should be
obliterated, and this is not a hard thing
TO do if the poultry raiser has prop
erly built house. But whether lime or
something else be used the work must
be carefully followed up. 1t is even
best to repeat the labor frequently,
even if there be no signs of the little
monsters. Their very minuteness is a
tremendous advantage given them by
nature, and an advantage that lays
upon us the necessity of eternal war
faTe.-Farmers' Review.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Provide the sitting hens with dark
nests.
Table scraps make a good poultry
food now.
The Pekin are the handsomest breeo
of ducks.
Goose eggs require one month fo,
Matching.
Mix the corn msal with milk for the
little chickens.
Boiled peas and beans, fed warm, are
excellent egg foods.
Geese and ducks should not be picked
while laying regularly.
In selecting the sitters be careful to
secure those that are gentle.
Small eggs are likely to come from
too much fatness of the hens.
The best hatcking eggs are those laid
in the spring by the mature hens.
One of the easiest ways of keeping a
poultry yard clean is to give it fre-
quent dressing with sand.
1t costs about cent week I'D to ten
weeks old TO feed a chick. Then it
should weight two pounds.-St. Louis

NO LONGER ISOLATED.
Wire-Fence Telephone system Put
In Operation by Progressive
Western Hanchmen.

The stockmen of Southwestern Kan
sas and northwestern Texas and Okla
homa are keeping pace with modern
improvements and are no longer to be
isolated from the rest of the world.
A few months ago the ranchmen of
Seward county, Kan, met to propose a
plan of connecting their ranches by
telephone facilities, utilizing the barb
wire fences instead of setting poles and
stringing wires. 1t had been demon
strated that a fence wire worked per-
fectly for telephone connection. The
scheme was favored by the stockmen,
and local company was formed, with
headquarters at Liberal, that being the
nearest telegraph point.
Lines have since been constructed
and are in operation, extending from
Liberal over the whole of Seward, Stew
ems and Morton counties, Kan, and
have reached out into Beaver county,
o. T.. and Hansford county, Tex. Many
of the ranches in this ideal grazing
country are situated miles from rail-
road and telegraph facilities. Some of
the owners are compelled to travel so
miles to reach shipping points. Thus
will be quickly seen the great adj
vantage to be derived from this enter
prising move. 1t not only affords them
an opportunity to transact business
among themselves, but they have ar
ranged to get market quotations daily
from the telegraph station. This in
formation is invaluable to the cattle
kings.
In addition to the lines now in opera
ton further extensions are to be made.
The success of the wire-fence tele-
phone first established between Liberal
and Brown ranch on Sharp creek, a dis
tance of ten miles, demonstrated the
value of the irea, and another line will
be started to Beaver, o. r., and one to
Hardesty, Tex.
These extensions will require but lit
tie outlay of money, nothing but the
labor required where fences can be-
used. When this cannot be done the
surveys follow the streams where the
timber is used for poles. This energetic
move has awakened a lively interest at
the markets. Wichita, which has be-
come a large stock market in recent
years by reason of its packing indus
tries, is making an effort to have a
branch of the line reach that place.
This would put the ranchmen in talk
ing distance with commission firms, to
whom they sell stock.
The plan is one of untold advantage
to stock owners, and will be pushed
until the complete benefits have been
derived.

Back-FurrowinE Paws.

In plowing clay lands nearly all the
advantages of understanding can be
obtained by backfurrowing into mar
row beds, and by leaving u strip two
or three feet wide between the beds
unplowed. 1t practically does away
with the trouble of outlying by heavy
rains, as there are two channels instead
of one to carry off the water No per-
ceptible difference in growth for yield
or crop can be seen in the dead burrows
after being put in with modern i'm
proved implements, and there is a saw
ing of four burrows in plowing each
land or bed-two in the middle of the
bed and two at the dead furrow The
great advantage of back-furrowing over
level culture when blowing is done
in the fall is that very often crops can
be sown several weeks earlier. making
fine crop and good catch of grass,
when later sowing would fail.--Prairie

During the warmer season, when al
lowed to forage for themselves, each
fowl gathers several ounces of meat
daily. When the supply of grasshop-
pers, bugs, flies and worms fails, it NAV

pot or the market. Green food may be
furnished in cabbage, vegetables, APP
pies or cut clover. a warm breakfast

is essential to the well being of fowls

Life Saved by Swamp-Root.
The Great Discovery That Cures Kid
ney and Bladder Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself most
wonderful cure for all diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable successin curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
of all uric acid troubles.

When a hen wishes to sit she is usu-
ally fat. If you break her she will lay
five or six eggs and become broody
again. Let her get rid of her fat. Give
her one egg, let her stay on the nest
two weeks, give her plenty of water,
feed only once in two days, and then
break her up. She will then have lost
flesh and when she begins to lay she
will keep it up. If you must break her,
however, get coop with slat floor,
stat sides and open everywhere. Let it
be raised foot from the ground. Place
the coop in an exposed location, where
she can see everything around her.
Being disturbed and not being able to
warm her airy nest, she gives up in
disgust.--Farm and Fireside.
