In eases where bronchitis has become

down to the top of the chest; the one rem

work in complete unison. The wonderful
penetrating power Of st. Jacobs Oil en-
ables it to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes and
which makes breathing more and more diff

Fowls are subject to cold in the head

throat difficulties and all the ailments
arising usually from colds, dampness
or sudden changes of weather. saws p
H. Jacobs. Even when they are nro-
vided with warm coop change in
the direction of the wind may cause the
fowls to be subject TO draughts of air
to be followed by the same troubles
that would likely have befalIen human
beings under similar circumstances.
When the hens have colds they will not
lay. and for that reason every precau-
ton should be taken to protect them
from dampness, chilling winds and sud-
den changes. Give plenty of fresh a,r,

house to be freely ventilated during

The HENS IMPORTANCE.
the Commercial Qneen Of In
dustrial America.

The National Proyisioner pays the
following tribute to the Industrious
hen
II you hear hen cackling respect
her; she keeps down food prices. Be
sides, she never cackles unless she is
ABOUT to 90 something or has done
something. The hen is the CONNER
clal queen of industrial America and
the Ieathered tribe has more to do
with our prosperity and domestic
economy than at first seems possible.
POULTRY and eggs control meat prices
at certain seasons and influence them
at all times. The hen and her product,
along with other fowls, are meats
persistent competitors all over the
world. This competition is especially
felt IN this country during the late
spring and early fall.
We now eat last years fresh eggs
and last years fresh poultry just like
we do last years fresh meats. Cold
storage is the wizard in the case. It
Keeps them on tap. The census
enumera tors found all the hens, ducks,
and geese setting the day he was
around. The figures sent in showed
thatthe barnyard fowls of America
laid 167,00O,OO0 dozen or 1000, 100000
eggs year for consumption. At an
average of Is cents per dozen they were
worth $25,05O,0O0. To the above must
be added the Matching eggs, or, better,
the Matched birds that are sold as
spring or other poultry. Last year
this amounted to 100000, 600 worth!
I'm comparison: Our much vaunted
wheat crop the same year realized
S3o3,o0o,ooo; our cotton crop, $685.
OOO,GO0. 1t beats our production of gold
for the year three times over. The
sum realized by the poultry Industry
would have paid all our public school
bills for that year aud have had sur
plus of S112,OO0,OOO 20 spare. There
are lot of other crops which the Zen
could beat in, sets of three each. TAts

AUTUMN POULTRY HINTS.

The best breeds will not be profitable
if they are mismanaged.
Clean out the coops often; filth is
unhealthy at any season of the year.
Remember prevention is better than
cure" and 'sfeathered pets make the
worst Of patients"
Are you keeping an accurate record
of your poultry account, including cost
of feed and labor and the income from
your sales?
Damp, wet and foul quarters are just
as great disease breeders in the fall as
in spring. See that your poultry does
not have to contend with these eondi-
lions this fall.
Do not simply throw the water out
of the drinking vessels and put in
fresh water, but wash the vessel thor
ough1y every time you change the
water.
The way to interest the children in
farm life is to give them an interest in
the poultry. Do not let their interest
end with caring for the fowls OF gath
ering the eggs. Let them have some of
the money returns as well.-Farmers'
Voice.

Kansas Farmer Considers 1t Kea1th-

The house shown in the illustra-
ton was built by E. D. Smith, of
Kansas, who has found it healthful,
convenient and large enough to ac-
commodate IS to 100 hens. He writes:
In bank sloping southwest I made
an excavation IL feet east and west
by % feet north and south. At the
southwest corner the excavat ton was
on a level with the surface of the
ground; at the north side it was
two and one-half feet deep. Around
the edges I built a sod wall, max
ing it's upper edge five feet above the
floor. ! rooted the north half with
boards and covered with tar paper
A border of sod was placed all
around the edge, then the. whole
overlaid with six inches of gypsum

FALLIBILITIEs OF SCIENCE.
Lord Kelvin Wa. Puzzled Over the
Impossible Angle of Ladder
Which cauldn't Fall.

At certain favorite resort in London a
conversation among a number of fnanc;ers
turned upon cable shares and wireless tel
egraphy. One confirmed cable worshipper
quoted Lord Kelvin's opinion that the COM
panies had no need to be alarmed at the prog
ress of Marconi, relates a London paper.
"Oh," exclaimed another, Lord Kelvin be
hangedi 1t is not the first time he has made
mistake. Why, | remember years ago,
when he was plain Billy Thomson, he was
out in the country for a ride with his brother.
You know he was always like the old fish
bag that O'Connell tackled. He slept on
parallelogram, shaved with spheroid,
watched the process of an ellipse and gem
orally took his mathematics to bed with him.
Anyhow lie never passed nything without
making ejaculation about it. This time it
was ladder standing against wall at an
angle which according to all known laws
ought to be impossible, especially as it stood
on smooth concrete at the bottom. He
called his brothers attention. They both
got down, took measurements, made endless
calculations, and considered various theo-
ries to account for the absence Of slip. At
last they fixed on some far-fetched explana-
ton just as the farmer hove in sight. Then
they casually called his attention to the
strange circumstance. On, ay, saysthe old
man, the ladder? Yes, put it there for my
hens, and it's pretty tight with the holdfast

WELL-FATTENED FOWLS.
Their Flesh Should Be Permeated by
Fat Rather Than Surrounded
by Layers of Fat,

To properly fatten "a fowl is a
science That fowl is not properly
fattened which has a large amount of
fat in layers under the skin and
around the intestines. Around the
intestines it may be, but the flesh
should be rather permeated by fat
than surrounded by fat. The flesh
should be evenly infltrated by fat.
Fat should not show through the skin,
nor should there be any fat under the
skin to show, no matter how thin the
skin may be. In France a well-fa t.
tened bird is one that has a good sup
ply of flesh over the back When that
is attained the buyers feel certain that
the breast meat is in good condition.
as fat more readily accumulates on
the back than on the breast. To fat
Ten birds properly requires food rich
~ nitrogen as welias carbohydrates.
=, also requires some attention to
h>ading, as the quality to fatten prop
err, must be inbred to a very con-
siderable extent. AS yet we have
done little along the Line of determine
ing what breeds fatten most perfectly.
Probably in each breed will be found
strains of fowls that have the desired
qualities. Before long, experimental
tion will without doubt be made along
this line. The result should greatly
improve the quality of the fattened
fowls we see in our markets.-Farmers

Letter From the Executive Office Of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the. Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters. of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
IN the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest
!. The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-aH gree that Pc
ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their great test enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is. well-nigh UNIVERSAL; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. 20 prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out
of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures
eatarrh, but prevents. Every house
hold should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and so forth.

Dear Sirs-I have had occa sion to use
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family
for colds, and it proved to be an excel
lent remedy. I have not had occasion
to use it for other ailments
Yours very truly, W. NJ. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
ru-na for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt
" cure colds, he protects his family
against other ailments. This isexactly
what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, la
grippe, and other climatic affections Of
winter, and there will be no other all
ments in the house. Such families
should provide themselves with a copy
