To Prove for Yourself the Wonderful rIerits of This
Great Discovery Every Reader of This Paper
May Have Sample Bottle Sent

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form of it and never suspectit.
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. DR.. 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 success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure Of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure of all uric acid troubles.
If your water, when allowed to remain
undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twentyfour hours, forms a sediment or
settling, or has cloudy appearance, it
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who lave not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bot
tie sent absolutely free by mail. Also

Feed and Care.

1t is an easy matter for a comparative
novice in poultry keeping to become dis
satisfied with the breed of poultry on
hand, no matter how good the fowl may
be. If, after winter of heavy grain
feeding and careless attention, 1t is
learned that a neighbor has had twice
the number of eggs from a flock the
same size that received less costly ra-
tion, the tendency is to blame the breed
and get the next seasons sittings from
the neighbor. The trouble may be the
breed, but it is more likely to result
from improper feeding or bad manage
ment. 1t is not an easy matter to make
a judicious selection at the start, and
time should be taken in doing it. There
are breeds for various purposes, and one
should decide what is desired of the
fowl before stocking up, and after hav-
ing selected breed it is poor policy to
change to some other without giving the
first fair trial Changing from one
breed to another or adding breed after
breed to the one originally selected is
sure to result in general dissatisfaction
and prove eventually losing invest
ment. Maine Farmer.

II was in Tanker s office when Slippy
came to have tooth pulled. Jaw all
swollen out of shape. Awful looking
face. Fairly howled with pain. But
Tanker wouldn't pull the tooth with
out being paid in advance.

wonderful self command. Instead Of
kicking up row he pulled out a check
for So, received 81 in change and smil-
ingly ordered the doctor to proceed with
the torture .
But was the check worth anything?"
GOOD as gold when it was given,
but Slippy reached the bank first and
drew out his balance. Now he's telling
around that Tanker pulled the wrong
tooth and insinuates that there may be
suit for malpractice. !"
"Yanker will sue, of course.
"Not him. The truth is that the
dentist in his excitement drew two
teeth at one haul, the extra one being
marked by a big gold filling. Slippy
misses that one, but what puzzles him
is that his jaw is getting we'll and that
he has no toothache The dentist that
filled the tooth was never paid, and the
chances are that Slippy will drop the
case as being too complicated. F"

One of the difficulties in winter feed
ing is that grain is given in a mass,
perhaps because the feeder does not care
to stand around in the cold, while the
fowls are equally in hurry to fill them
selves, so that they may again go on the
roost and cover their chilled feet with
their feathers. No matter how cold the
weather may be, fowls on the roost al
ways contrive to keep their feet warm
if they get food enough to furnish the
internal heat. The natural way for a
fowl to take its food is a morsel or a
grain at a time and to get that by
scratching for it. This will prevent the
food from going in mass into the crop,
