"moon Blind" Said the Stranger"

Flagman Durham, of the Dudley sta
ton of the Pennsylvania railroads
Camden annex district, had just left
the flag house to flag an approaching
train, early one morning recently,
when he saw a man sitting on the
track, apparently asleep. He hustled
the stranger from the track just as the
train passed. The man refused to give
his name. He was perfectly sober,
and said to the watchman:
II didn't know where was sitting.
I'm stranger here. When visited
the town last night I was attacked
with moon blind and couldn't see.
wandered after that, believing would
recover my sight"
He was cared for, and, strange to
state, when the moon disappeared, he
says he partly regained his sight, and
went on rejoicing.-Philadelphia Rec

Popularity Of lncubators.

The great increase in the use of
Mcubators is matter worthy of spe.
cial note. Poultrymen generally are
realizing the advantage of using incu-
bators found that thousands of fan
ciers have adopted the incubator as a
more satisfactory hatcher than the
hen. They are made in different sizes
and capacities to fill the needs OF
both the large and the small breed
er. An immense amount of time and
thought has been devoted to incu-
bator construction and wonderful
strides toward perfection have been
made during the past few years. Man
ufacturers have such confidence in
their machines that they are willing
and anxious to sell them on trial and
risk the machine and the chances Of
q sale in the hands of amateurs who
never before saw an incubator. The
result is that thousands of them are
being sold and the business this sea-
son bids fair to figure up to an al
most incredible amount. The old
prejudice against incubators is fast
disappearing as result of improved
machines and the unqualified sue
cess of breeders with them. Nothing
counts like facts before ones eyes,
and in the case of the incubator the
evidence of this character is over
whelming. Incubator chicks proper
" raised will make just as hardy.
vigorous, healthy fowls as will those
hatched under hens. and 1t is q com.
mon thing to see them win the best
prizes in the show room. The fact Of
the matter is that q poultryman who
pretends to do any business at all
cannot AFFORD to ignore the incubator
and brooder. They are practically
necessities IL we wish to get the most
from our. work. It 10 well to bear In
mind that while old methods are good
ones, the world moves and progress

John O. Atkinson,
Box 2Z2, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis.
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost
universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so Indispensable to old people Peruna is
their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally:
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them This is exactly what
Peruna is.

Moltlnal.

Molttng period generally lasts from
July to December. The old faded
feathers become deficient In the nitro.
genous and mineral matter that com.
pose them and are cast on.
The molting season may be shorten.
ed 80 % to cover q period Of but six
to ten weeks.
To do this and to bring about an
early mott breed from those pullets,
or hens rather which mott the earliest
and most rapidly and which prove
your earliest winter layers.
During the Noting season give the
fowls the following care: Feed sys.
temadcally and scientifically. Provide
plenty of good drinking water, given
fresh twice day, In . drinking vessel
that Is kept clean and In the shade. II
fowls are confined give plenty of
shade and scratching material In a
cool, airy place. Provide plenty OF
good grit and ground oyster shells. II
they have no grass run provide clover
meal for mivlng In the morning mash.
Provide plenty Of road dust and see
that the hens use 1t. Be sure and keep
down the lice. Provide charcoal. Keep
the hens healthy and condition pow
ders are not necessary, but use them
twice week If the hens show the
need Of 1t. Feed a variety and only
I'LL that they will eat up clean.
For morning feed take one quart
OF coarse corn meal, one pint of good
beef meal, one quart of wheat bran
and one quart of white middlings and
one quart of ground oats; mix thor
'oughly. Take one quart of clover meal
which has been nscalded the evening
before by enough boiling water to wet
the whole and left to steam and stir
the clover and clover tea into the
mash until it is thoroughly mixed and
teed to your flock.
Increase or diminish this amount OF
feed according to the size of the flock.
In this mash every other morning
stir in while dry one tablespoon of
sulphur to every twenty-five hens.
Stir in charcoal every other morning.
Every other morning omit the quart OF
middltngs and substitute oil meal one
quart. The oil meal and the sulphur
will aid in Fastening the mott and are
needed in the composition of the new
feathers. In the evening feed whole
grain, oats and barley, which are flesh
and bone forming; rotate this with
corn and wheat. Use charcoal as a
corrective for bowel trouble and as a
preventive of indigestion. Use linseed
neal to loosen the feathers.
As feathers contain lime, sulphur,
oil and nitrogen, clover meal and beef
meal or run in clover field among
the grasshoppers is a necessity to
produce rich, brilliant-colored feath-
ers. Pea meal and sunflower seed are
rich in nitrogen.
Corn helps to hasten the mott;
wheat is rich in nitrogen. An all
round ration is necessary to produce
healthy birds, and only healthy, Wig
orous birds on plenty of food rich in
nitrogen, as beef meal, corn meal,
clover meal, sunfower seed and lin
seed meal, can product glossy, rich
colored plumage.-W. q. Dean, in

Warm Water for Cows.

The Germans have been trying the
effect of warm water on milk produc-
ton. They found that while the cows
drank on an average % pounds of
warm water per day, they drank but
e3 pounds of cold water. The cows
that had the warm water consumed
three-quarters Of q pound Of food
more daily, but there was smaller
quantity Of dry food required for each
quart of milk.
The increase in water drank was
accompanied by an increase of water
in the milk, with no increase of total
solids. Here is good opportunity
to speculate on increased metabolism
and assimilation Of food owing to the
warm water, but in such cases it is
better to let the cows do the talking.
there is less Of having to revise
theories, but there is not much doubt
that on the whole cold water does not
assist in butter or milk production.
