Walnuts for Fowls.

Every year thousands OF bushels d
xalnuts go to waste all over the coun-
try, and few farmers think of their
value for poultry food. FOR years we
have been gathering the walnuts and
storing them in some shed or out
house. and we consider every bushel
of them worth fully as much as a
bushel of oats. 1t Is not necessary to
remove the hulls, but do not store
them more than few inches deep,
as they may heat and rot. A lox12
space will hold big wagon load
safely.
When real cold weather sets In We
hash up bushelful with an old axe
and feed them to the laying hens.
The great amount of oil contained in
the kernels will do more to help keen
up animal heat than almost any other
foodstuff we can produce. and we have

Of our best beet seed is imported from

To Prevent Smut in Wheat

This coming spring wheat should
not be sowed without being first treat
ed if 1t has any indications of having
been exposed TO smut. The trouble
can be obviated by dipping the seed
wheat in a solution that is sure to
prove effective. Smut is carried over
from year to year on the seed wheat
The mode of treatment is as follows:
Dissolve one pound of copper sulphate
in "a gallons of water. Soak the seed
in this solution for twelve hours, after
which 1t should be drained on Then
the seed should be soaked for ten
minutes In lime water made by slak-
ing one pound of lime in ten gallons
Of water. The seed should then be
dried as soon as possible. Care should
then be taken that the seed wheat is
not eaten by chickens or other stock,
as the sulphate Is a deadly poison
1t is the experience Of farmers that
land that bore smutty wheat the preyi-
Gus year will not bear smutty wheat
If the seed is properly treated, the
smut spores in the ground having
been all killed by the cold weather.

Thought Blacks immortal.

The natives of the West Indies
imagined that the negroes, who were
imported in droves as slaves from
western Africa by the early Spanish
governors, were immortal, says Pear
sons Weekly. The black man was a
novelty to these islanders, and theiI
belief arose from the fact that the
negroes were never seen TO suffer
from any natural infirmity, such as af-
fected the white man and the island.
ers themselves.
The American climate agreed with
them better than their own unhealthy
Guinea; and from their remarkable
vigor and extraordinary longevity the
Indians not unnaturally concluded
that they were immortal. For a long
time they saw or heard of none who
died, except as criminals at the hands
of Spanish eYecutioners. and SO they
believed that the only way TO put an
end to a negro's life was to hang him.

as far west as Texas. When it first
appears in a community it has a sali-
waiting effect on horses, but later that
effect disappears, either because the
animals get used TO it or because it ex-
hausts something in the soil that
causes the salvation. The stockmen
of the South have come to recognize
this as a valuable forage plant, even
though it is a small grower.
Seed should be sown late in the
spring after the ground has become
warm. The land should be well pre-
pared, as it must be for all small
seeds. If the soil has been covered
with timber in the past the chances
for the success of the lespedeza are
improved. The seed obtainable at the
present time is unhalled and there
fore from one to two pecks per acre
must be used. The plant seeds the
ground abundantly and where the
climate is not too cold the seeding
will be continued from year to year

Diet for Tuherculosis.

The tubercular patient needs pro-
teids, or tissue-building foods, but only
just the amount which can be assimi.
lated and utilized by the body. Any
excess must be treated like polsors.
and hence must be burden to both
liver and kidneys, and a waste of Vita
energy.
Proteids must be taken, not only in
moderate quantity. but in the purest
form possible. The vegetable kingdom
presents proteids in combination with
fats in great abundance, and in nuts,
which can be made easily digestible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yollts of eggs afford also a COM
bination of fats and proteids which is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa
tient. Milk, especially rich milk, is
another food adapted to this class of
patients when it does not produce
"biliousness" through indigestion.
Many tubercular patients have dila-
tation of the stomach Such cases
must avoid milk. Nearly all can take
nuts If the right kind is selected and
great care is taken with the mastica.
ton. Pecans, hickory nuts. almonds
ard filberts, pinons, or pine nuts are
the best varieties. Half a pound OF
nuts may be taken daily by the con.
sumptive, not only without harm, but
with great benefit, If combined with
other foods. A diet consisting of nuts
well-toasted bread and fruits is a per
feet dietary for the tubercular patient
The yolks of dozen eggs may be
used in place of nuts.

A Toothache Remedy.

A medical remedy for toothache OF
great repute is sodium salicylate.
There is no other drug equal to it.,
especially for those cases where the
pain is started by taking cold. The
pain is generally promptly relieved
by a dose OF forty-ive grains, and IL
this be repeated every four hours the
inflammation may entirely subside,
leaving, of course, a decayed tooth,
which will need attention-perhaps
oxtraotioR-at the hands of the
dentist.
The addition OF belladonna is often
advantageous and it is said that fif-
teen grains OF salicylate with fifteen
minims Of the tincture OF belladonna
will often give the patient a good
nights rest, when without it sleep
would be impossible.

1uttermiIk for Consumptives.

Buttermilk is an excellent food for
tubercular patients. 1t may be taken
day, according to the amount of
other food taken. The patient may
take two meals, three meals, or four
meals a day, according to the quantity
of food taken at each meal, and the
kind OF food. A safe rule is never to
allow consumptive to go hungry. He
should eat whenever he has appetite,
SO that the full digestive power of the
stomach may be utilized in furnishing
the body with constructive material.

Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather,

Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather.
When the skin is warm it is red or
pink in color. The cold air of winter
causes the skin to become whittier in
color. This is due to the contraction
of the blood vessels of the skin. The
amount of blood passing through the
skin Is decreased, and the amount of
heat thrown off into the cold air is
likewise decreased. II glass of wine
or brandy is taken the skin becomes
red. The sensation of warmth pro-
duced is delusive. The victim i'm
AGNES himself warmer. Indeed, the
skin is warmer, but at the same time
a great increase is observed in the
heat thrown off from the skin. The
result is an enormous loss of heat to
the inside of the body.

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.
Science has demonstrated beyond

preventable and durable disease.
This disease is produced by germs
which find their way into the body
through abraslons of the skin. through

or the intestines and through the
lungs. The germs of the disease are
found In the sputum OF persons suf'
fering from tuberculosis. The germs
are also found in the flesh and milk of
animals suffering from the disease
The germs are found nearly every
