"Take care Of YOURSELF" say our friends.
"Ill try to,"we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mnckintoshes, an army of people We're
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
iniammations and congestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to eYposure-you will break up tho
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma

the response has been so generous

THE TRAP NEST.
We have recently anSwor.

We have recently answered a
number OF inquiries concerning
the trap nest, This is practi.
cally new invention and apparent
ly but few farmers know what
1t is or appreciate its usefulness.
1t is device which makes it pos
sible to keep a record of the eggs
laid by each hen. In our breed
ing pens are five trap nests-one
tor each hen. A small Enclosure
back Of the poultry house is de-
yIded into five compartments.
The trap nests are placed inside
the poultry house, so that when
biddy finishes her work of ego
production for the day she enters
observation-disclosures corresponding
with her uest;an attendant marks
upon the egg the mum Der of the
leg band and the egg is recorded
IN book kept for the purpose

Alabama correspondence of the
Field. Washington, d. C, says
that arrangements have been
made by Michigan parties to
lease about 900 acres of land
near the Southern Railway in the
southern part Of st. Clair county,
Ala bama, not far from Riverside,
for the purpose of raising cattle
on an extensive scale, 1t is pro-
posed to cross the native cattle
with the Hereford strain.
The party misunderstanding this
fall with a herd of about 300.
This land was originally virgin
forest. The timber having been
cut, most of the land snow clear
ed and will make asplendidrang
for stock. 1t is we'll watered and
well set in native grasses.
We are CAD to welcome these
entirprising stockmen from the
north. There is hardly county
on the line Of the Southern rail-
way that does not offer splendid
inducements for this industry.
We have in mind several tracts
OF land suitab bic for lease or sale.
The Southern Railway company
has for several years been doing
educational work, advertising the
resources of the country along
its lines and has prominently
brous ut topeople from the north
the opportunities for STOCK rails
ers.
Indications are that great de-
velopment of the stock business
will be made throughout the
soGth. The stockmen in the
west are finding difficulty in hold
the ranges intact and the extent
OF the grazing facilities is being
decreased. AS a result, stock.
men are familliarizing themselves
with the country along the line
of the Southern railway and COM
ing to realize the Importance of
this field.

only way she can make her exit
is through the rear door into the
small ward. We have a nest for
each hen, becs use all might take
a notion to lay at the same time.
These trap nests may be con-
structed from old cracker boxes
at very small cost. A general
use of this device will mean that
in few years there will be flock
books of the different breeds IN
which pedigreed poultry IS re-
corded, just as the different
breeds of cattle are recorded to-
day. The trap nest is not worth

POULTRY NOTES.

Ducks should have dry house
with dry litter for roost.
Spotted or rough shells are the
result of feeding gritirrcgularly.
Bronze turkeys do not reach
maturity until they are 4 years
old.
A full supply OF grit and shell
influences the cleanness of the
egg shells.
Turkeys should be given a
light ia the morning, but a heavy
feed at night.
Manage to give the fowls va
riety of food instead of same
ness day after day.
Fowls appear to be the only liv.
ing thing which are affected in
jurious!y by use of salt.
Throw the small seeds so that
the chicks will have to scratch tor
them an6 you will be surprise d
to see how they will thrive.
If you are thiking of raising a
large number of chickens and
use breeders in watch to rear
them, it would be well to build a
brooder house.
The floor or the scratching
shed should by all means be COW
cred with dry leaves, fine hay or
fine straw, where all the grain fed
should be scattered therein and
the fowls made 10 scratch for it.

The increase in stock raising
and the growth in dairying has
increased the acreage in pastur-
age, and yet the attention paid
to this is slight, and farmers OF
ten simply fence out a pasture
lot and letit do as it can, never
rendering any help or seeking to
improve the product.
