No Matter What Doc tors Say-We Know That Heart TrOu- ble in M any Cases Can Be
 Cured.

There are seven main features of heart disease, viz: CD Weakness or Debility; CD Rheumatism or Neuralgia; (1) Nalvular Disorder; (4) Dilation; (5) Enlargement; (6) Fatty Degenera- tion; CD Dropsy.
 Documentary evidence will prove thousands of so-called "incurables'' have been absolutely cured by Dr. Miles New Heart Cure.
 Patients often have no idea their dis ease is heart trouble, but ascribe it to Indigestion, Liver Complaint, etc.
 Here are some of the symptoms: Shortness of breath after exercise. Smothering Spells. Pain in Chest, left Shoulder and arm. Discomfort in Lying on one side. Painting Spells. Nervous Cough. Swelling of Feet and Ankles. Paleness of Face and Lips. Palpitation. Nightmare. Irregular Pulse.

The brief summer season Of the
north country is a miracle worker
Out of the long winter paralysis, the
snow banks the chill and dilatory
spring, with May frosts and snow
storms. the grip of the cold is broken
at last, and heat moisture, electricity
and seventeen hours of sunshine get in
their work. Grain, fruit and flower
then go on 4 wild sixty mile an hour
race, and the garden of Eden replaces
the arctic wintry waste. Such wheat,
such oats, such fax, such potatoes and
garden truck. and life on the farm one
mad rush to save and gather the
abundance before the geese start south
and the praties freeze in the ground!
Three months Of heaven to offset nine
months Of purgatory! The Finn, the
Russian and the Norseman take kind

POULTRY MONEY.

The farmers wife who only realizes
about $50 or $50 out of her poultry each
season is not living up to her opportuni-
ties by long shot She should take a
day off and visit her neighbor who is
making from S175 to $3.50 out of the
poultry which may easily be kept on
the average farm. Now, $500 is nice
little wad of pin money, sometimes as
much as the old man will make on a
large field of oats or corn. 1t will do a
lot toward fixing things nice in the
home, help give the boy and girl lift
at their schooling, put some nice papers
and periodicals in the house and justify
the woman who does 1t in wearing
three five dollar pIumes IN her Sunday
hat IL she wants to. And right here we
want to say that this poultry money
should belong exclusively to the wom-
an, and none of it should go to pay to-
bacco and blacksmith bills, taxes or in
surance premiums. Every wise girl
who marries farmer will see that she
is promised the poultry money before
the parSon gets in his work

Prevent Timber Neck.

The only remedy that we know of for
timber neck is the proverbial ounce OF
prevention. If we would not lose our
chickens from this cause we must be
watchful and not allow the agencies
that produce it to gather about us, says
a Tennessee Poultryman in Farm and
Ranch. 1t is so easy to start it. and the
results are so sure to come. During a
warm, showery week one July we
missed small rooster and could not
find him high or low Finally we de-
cided that he had strayed off or been
stolen. In one of our yards of breeders
there was hewn log about ten feet
long lying near the fence. The show
ers and the heat continued, and one
evening we noticed several of the hens
in that particular yard sitting about in
a peculiar manner, some of them with
their heads on the ground An inveSti-
cation revealed the missing rooster,
dead and fostering between the log and
the fence, but the hens had found him
first, and we lost six of them and the
old cock in the yard with them as a re
suit of our oversight

Egg Rnnnd pnIIats.

For the egg bound puliet the follow
ing treatment will probably be suffi-
cient says American Poultry Journal:
Inject 4 small quantity of olive oil and
gently manipulate the parts. After
ward give cooling foods. and if hens
are too fat reduce the ration. In case
the egg cannot be expelled by the in
lection of oil immerse the vent ana
lower part OF the body in water lis
warm as can be used without injury
until the parts are relaxed. Then in
jeet oil and endeavor to assist the bird
by careful pressure and manipulation
or by dilation OF the passage.

VIVIAN rRuIr rREEs mo- pLANT.

We are frequently asked to name a
list of fruit trees suited to planting IN
some distant state or locality. 1t is
isfactory manner There is such a
tremendous variation in soils, latitude
location and even longitude and ele-
vation that no one, unless intimately
acquainted with local conditions, could
safely name list Of fruit which would
prove suitable. There is but just
one answer which can be made to these
inquiries, and that is to consult the
most successful fruit grower in any
given locality, whose advice would be
well worth needing Millions of dollars
have been utterly wasted by attempt
ing to grow varieties of fruit in loeali-
ties unfit for their proper development
There are a few general rules, how
ever, which are worth remembering
One, that where common winter tenn
perature is 20 degrees below zero, there
it is utterly useless to attempt to grow
peaches, European plums, ounces,
pfunes, apricots or any save the very
hardest of apples. plums and cherries.
Where 20 below is common, there 80
and 80 below are possible, and this de-
gree of cold viii destroy the fruit buds
of the species named, even if the trees
themselves are not destroyed. The
record Of mean temperature for d given
locality is worthless as determining its
fitness to grow fruit. It is the varia-
lions which must be looked up Last
winter gave the east q cold wave
Of almost unprecedented severity-35
below in New Jersey and eastern New
York with the result that pear trees
forty years old, plums and peaches of
previous health and productiveness.
We're wiped out by the acre, root and
branch. There can be given no arbi-
trary line of latitude as u guide, for
latitude is so modified by elevation,
by mountain protection, by contiguity
to large bodies of water, that as q
guide alone to the fruit grower it is
worthless Some of the finest apples
iii the world are raised in Nova Scotia
in latitude 40, while III central and
western ldHdua IN lHe same ldlIlude
not an apple Of any kind will grow. In
the case Of Nova Scotia the influence
Of the ocean entirely changes climatic
conditions If you wish to find out
what trees to plant see your neighbor
who grows fruit successfully and do
not believe the first word told you by
any tree peddler The above may be
worth money to you.

CarboIic Acid For canes.

In writing on gapes Mr.. Tegetmeier
states as follows: Knowing the active
influences of carbolic acid on the lower
forms Of animal life, determined to
try the effect Of the inhalation in the
case of gapes that came under my no
tice. | operated on chicks and turkeys
several times that had suffered severe
" from gapes. being always cholled by
the worms. Each bird was placed in a
small deal box. the open top being COW
cred with cloth. 10 fumigate | then
placed about Il dozen drops Of earboIic
acid in a small metal saucer heated by
a spirit lamp, Lit the lamp and put the
apparatus in the interior of the box.
Dense white fumes soon filled the box
and, being of necessity breathed by the
bird came into contact with the worms.
The operation was continued in every
case until the birds We're in some dam
ger of suffocation They soon recov-
cred, however, on exposure to the air
and on the day following the treatment
were running about perfectly free from
any symptoms of disease Feather

SKIM MILK FOR CHICKS.
Tests at Experiment stations show
1t to Be Valuable.

1T to Be Valuable.
Skim milk has been found especially
valuable for chickens during the whole
balanced ration or with or without
green food, says Beanan in American
Poultry Journal. It decreases the cost
of ration, secures greater returns from
the other foods and is especially yalua-
BILE when chicks are small and confined
III pens.
At the Indiana station growing chick
ems weighing from one to two pounds
each We're fed meal rations, except that
one lot received all the skim milk in
addition that they would take. The
test lasted about six weeks. The skim
milk lot ate more solid food than the
other lot, kept in healthier condition
and made larger and cheaper gains
The gam of the lot fed skim milk was
about one pound seven ounces each at
a cost of 49, cents per pound. The
others gained but 1876 ounces each at
cost of AZ cents per pound. On
grain mixed up with skim milk the
gains Oh Tile CIlCh6llS DIT the 1adHdul
experiment farm were Is to 80 per cent
better than when the grains We're mix
ed with water On the milk ration the
chickens dressed decidedly plumper
and had a much better appearance.
The flesh was yellower, more juicy
and better favored At the Maine
station when the meal ration was mix
ed with skim milk instead of water
about % per cent better gains were
made.
At the New York state station the
average cost of chicks to ten and u
half weeks old fed grain and given no
water to drink, but constantly supplied
with sweet milk, was about - cents.
At the end of this period the weight of
the chicks averaged "a pounds EACH
The highest cost per pound to three
and a pound weight did not exceed I
cents and averaged less than cents.
1t is believed, therefore, that farmers
can as we'll afford to feed chicks skim
milk as pigs or calves.
The Ontario Agriculture college re-
cords an experiment in which the use
of skim milk in the ration had tend
ency to produce dressed poultry having
white skin.
