DOES POULTRY PAY?
The Writer of This Article Gives
Reasons for Answering the cues
ton in the 4 fiji rmatiVe.

The above is very common ques'
ton. We answer by saying it does
pay and it can pay, but it does not
always pay. On the farm it gener-
ally does pay, though the farmer
does not keep account of what his
fowls are bringing in. There are
two reasons why poultry on farms
generally pay. One of them is that
the fowls are kept in relatively small
numbers, from so to 100 in a flock
Another reason is that the food
given the fowls represents very
largely gleanings firm the fields, or
chards and barns. Material that
would most certainly GO to waste
goes to make up the bulk of the feed
the fowls receive. The question be-
comes one of Importance when ap.
piled to large operations independ-
ent of the farm. Then the answer
must depend on a good many things.
The first of these is the experience
of the poultryman. When novices
with money go into poultry raising
they do not generally make it pay.
1t is not a dead sure thing, and nov
ices with money can succeed only
with dead sure things. The novice
with money and no experience, if he
goes into the poultry business, gen
orally comes out of it with a good
lot of experience and no money!

RENOVATING THE SOIL.
Intense Grass Culture win Restore
Fertility to Dormant Land
Without Fail.

George Nj. Clark, in an address on
grass culture before the North Leo
minister (Mass.) Pomona Grange, said:
There is large amount of talk about
worn-out lands, and half the letters
which L receive speak of it. To that
wish emphatically to say there is no
such thing as worn-out lands; they
are simply dormant.
Intense cultivation is the principal
thing to renew and give new life to
the soil. 1t must be worked, entirely
worked, 20 times at least more than
now. The old sod should be made into
plant food right away; the surface
of the land should be kept true and
worked to depth of at least six inches.
The land should be worked as much as
80 times in July and August, and seed
ed September 1 in this latitude. 1t is
fact that timothy and Red Top must
be sown, completed and finished at the
same date. In other words, field
sown in part on Monday and again in
part on Saturday OF the same week,
will never produce any grass from the
seed sown on Saturday, for the reason
that the seed sown on Monday will
take possession of the field. L use IA
quarts of timothy and II quarts of
recleaned Red Top to each acre, and
put it on as described in the book.
use bone, muriate of potash and nj
trate of soda, in preparations as given
in the circular. These fertilizers, as
a whole, cost not more than three dol
lars a ton of hay products. My entire
crop from 16 acres in one year (from
the two crops was 2OS,475 pounds,
which, when figured from $3.50 to SIS
a ton, gave an average profit of $51.61
an acre. How often should the land
be reseeded? L should say once in five
or six years.
1T takes ten months to produce a
crop, and 40 days from the time it
starts in the spring, with this cultiva-
ton, a drought will not harm it so
much. The winter storms always give
water in the spring; and intense cult
walton, with perfect connection with
the subsoil, gives an early start, and
from three to five inches more water
will make the first crop. The old field
cannot do it. This new method will
always make large,frst CROP

SPRAYING CORPORATIONS.
The Senator "SpIuttered" in HIa
Speech and an Umbrella
Was Called For.

Senator Spooner told story the other
day, in which the late Senator ingalls, and
Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, fig
uced. Van Wyck was making one of his
CHARACTERISTIC speeches in attacking cor
P3rations. He had a peculiar style of de-
livery, and as he warmed to his subject it
was his habit to move restlessly from one
side of the chamber to the other, contin-
ually talking. He talked so fast that ne

Mr.. Ingalls, and Mr.. Spooner once sat

Ingalls, said:

Spooner and rubber overcoat for me-"
The incident provoked general laugh

RECORD OF THE PAST.

The best guarantee of the future Is
the record of the past, and over fifty
thousand people have publicly testified
that Doan's Kidney Pills have cured
them of numerous kidney ills, from
common backache to dangerous dia-
betes, and all the attendant annoy
ances and sufferings from urinary dis
orders. They have been cured to stay
cured. Here is one case:
Samuel j. Taylor, retired carpenter,
residing at 312 South Third ST., Goshen,
Ind, says: son the 25th day of Au-
gust, 1897, I made an affidavit before
Jacob C. Mann, notary public, stating
my experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills. had suffered for thirty years
and was compelled at times to walk
by the aid of crutches, frequently
passed gravel and suffered eXcruciat-
ingly. I took every medicine on the
market that I heard about, and some
gave me temporary relief. I began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and the
results gave to the public in the state
ment above referred to. At this time,
on the 10th day of July, 1902, make
this further statement, that during
the five years which have elapsed
have had no occasion to use either
Doan's Kidney Pills or any other med
icine for my kidneys. The cure effect
ed was permanent one"

medicine which cured Mr.. Taylor will

WINTER ON THE FARM.
Part of 1t Should BE DevOtedfO Study
and the Rest to the Finishing
of Job Work.

If the farmer intends to get to the
front, now would be good time to
commence to study. Nights are get
ting long, and the farm work will not
be in such a rush during the winter
months. The farmer who does not
improve has no excuse, as good farm
literature can be had at a very low
price. A few dollars invested in a
half dozen good agricultural books,
and three or four subscriptions to good
papers, and you are prepared to
start your family reading club. If one
of your boys or girls shows liking
for poultry or any branch of farming,
get a small library and start them
in business; it will be money well in
vested. Now is q good time to do
that job of work on your house, or
barn, which you have been neglecting
for so long. All Improvements done
about the place will more than pay for
themselves in better looks of the
place and conveniences. You should
enlarge your barn so as to be able to
take care of plenty of hay and forage.
for that is the only way to keep up the
fertility of the soil, and each farmer
should consider his farm as his bank
account, and his crop after expense
is paid, his per cent. But most farm
ers act as though they thought they
were miners and got their living by
digging. They are not scientific; they
don't keep up with the times. They
do a thing just so because father did
it that way. But that will never do;
civilization is on the forward march.
and if you, brother farmer, do not keep
up with the procession you will be left
in the rut.-Enos c. Pitman, in Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

4 PROFESSIONAL OPINION.
Der, Who Was Cutting In on
His Business.

A former judge, now practicing law,
became interested when told by his IA
vorite barber that the latter wanted to
study, with a view to admission to the
bar, relates the Philadelphia Times. The
lawyer encouraged him in every way pos
sible, lending him books and giving MIN
an informal lesson while being shaved
each morning. Soon the barber began put
ting hypothetical cases to his patron, who
gravely, soundly and pains-takingly gave
Information as to correct procedure. After
a time the ex-judge learned that the bar
ber's cases were genuine-that, indeed, the
fellow was acting as a cut-rate attorney
for his friends, who invariably profted by
following his advice. The following morn
ing the barber opened up by putting what
he described as an imaginary bit of Etiga-
ton to the lather-covered lawyer, and then
asked:
Now, judge, what do you adviser"
''Let--me-see, replied the lawyer, mus
ingly. Then: why, 1 advise that you
come see me at the Office, bring me a cer,,
titled check for 800 as a fee, and I'll tell
you how the case should be handled"

each hole and fasten the wires in
place to the post where you begin to
weave Then unroll and stretch the
bottom wires first, the full length OF
the fence if straight, and staple them
in place to the other end, or corner
post, but not so tight as to not let
them slip. Draw them straight and
extend them beyond the last end post
some Is or 20 feet. Fasten them to
some kind of heavy weight that will
slip on the ground as the pickets are
being woven in.
For an anchor, 1 loop the wires
around the ends of round stick, two
or three feet long and put some rocks
or anything else that may be handy,
on the wires in front of the stick.
Fix each pair of wires to separate
anchor.
To weave in the pickets, one man
turns the short planks in circular
direction one-half a turn, to spread
the wires and hold them while an
other puts in and drives the pickets
in place. A gauge is necessary to
keep the pickets even. y little prac-
tice will enable one to keep the pick
cts plumb and make as good and d
much neater fence than any of the
patent fence machines will make

Picking Ducks and Geese.

In order to pick ducks and geese
without tearing the skin, it is neces
sary to scald them. They need to re.
main in the water longer than chick
ems, because their feathers are sc
well adapted to turning water that
they will turn even hot water. An.
other method, which must be used
with extreme care, is to take them
out quickly and wrap them in blan-
ket to steam. The danger of leaving
them until the steam begins to cook
the flesh is very great, however, es
pecially if the pickers are inexperi-
enced. After all the feathers and
down are removed, the fowls should
again be held in scalding water about
IL seconds in order to plump them

study Science of Feeding.

In no other branch of the live stock
industry does weight for age cut such
a figure as in the hog business. A pig
that is not a good grower and gamer
is no good. His breeding on paper
may be fine, but if he is not growing,
he will not satisfy the customer who
is looking for hog that will breed bet
ter and growthier stock. All breeders
of pure-bred hogs, therefore, should
be good feeders, and no one who is
not a good feeder should attempt to
break into the business. 1t is well to
learn to feed hogs before spending
much money for fancy breeding stock.
Many who have failed with pure-bred
stock have simply been ignorant of the
science of feeding. 1t cannot be
bought or learned, except by expert
ence and practice. The man who
doesn't know how would better get
his experience on grade hogs. 1t viii
cost him less.-Cincinnati Commercial

"IWiHeVer continue to speak a good

John o. Atkinson,
Box zig, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has be-
come 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 rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
