The difference in good whiskey and the Inn
pure article. The last few months have shown
that remarkable part OF the liquor consumed
is not only impure, but is made OF drugs and
chemicals that will ruin the health and kill the
user Kentucky whiskey. as produced in Ken
lucky is the very highest class OF whiskey
made. In an endeavor to sell their products
great many houses claim to sell the genuine
article at prices and ages that are unreason-
able and we regret to say, from the success of
some of these houses, that this poisonous
pleasant tasting stuff is what some people de-
Sire.
During the next few months we are going to
endeavor to give the people OF Johnson city
through these columns fair idea Of what good
whiskey is. We will give short talks to our
trade on the genuine article. and only wish to
be verified by any one who knows how good
whiskey is produced and the probable cost OF it..
TO begin with whiskey at 100 per cent. Of
alcohol does not drink as pleasant as soda wa
ter or lemonade. 1t is strong and is bound to
taste of that strength, The good part about
buying this pure 100 per cent. strong whiskey,
II when you get 1t you have something that II
you use right Is alwaGs beneficial. Even II 1t
is too strong for your purpose you can add wa
ter to it yourself to suit your taste. We do not
believe in charging the price of good whiskey
for water that has been put into 1t. We be-
lieve it will be cheaper to buy the straight
goods and add the water to 1t yourself without
any extra cost to you.

Single Comb Buff Orpingtons

Copied from the November $500 Commercial
Poultry.
A few years ago, when the Single
Comb Buff Orpington was first intro
duced into the United States, MANY
old breeders of the American varieties
would have nothing to do with them,
making many counter claims against
them, and even many poultry editors
said things about them that were not
intended to push them along, They
all had something to be scared about.
Never in the history of any variety has
the craze swept from coast to coast as
it has with the Bluffs. 1t is faith well
founded and they have come to stay.
Their many excellent qualities will
march them along until every farmer
in the country will have them They
are the largest smooth-legged variety;
mature early, are good layers and good
foragers, and can be turned into money
quicker than any other fowl.
will enumerate the excellent quail
ties in which the Buff Orpington excels
all other breeds, to my notion, First,
the stock can be kept healthier on
range or in confinement with the same
amount of work. The eggs hatch bet
ter than any Of the other heavy breeds.
The chicks are stronger and less liable
to disease. They commence to lay
earlier and keep it up throughout the
entire winter. By actual test in my
own yard the same number of Orping'
ton hens will lay more eggs during the
winter months than the Leghorn, Min
orca and Barred Rocks combined.
AS to their growing qualities, vii
give some of my actual experience. A
year ago /, by chance, Matched Orping
tons and Barred Rocks the same day
They were reared by hens and fed thu
same: given the same chances in every
respect. After few weeks the Orp
Iingtons grew away from the Rocks tt
such an extent that | was induced t,
compare weights. The heaviest Orp
ington weighed one pound and half
The heaviest Rock less than three
Quarters of a pound. then gave tn
Rocks extra feed and care, but the,
could not catch up and the Orpington
continued to make even greater gain
The Orpington pullets commenced t
lay at five months old; the Rocks 3
nine months. The Orpingtons cor
tinued throughout the winter, tn
Rocks quit in short time. For th
} fancier, as we'll as the farmer, what
more beautiful than a bird of golde
buff, long, deep bodies and short legl
1 NV old stock is we'll along in the mo
and yet they are doing credit to the
laying reputation. When dresse
. they present beautiful appearance
white aud clean, and they carry MOI
white meat than any other fowl. TIL
Z is not simply theory, but actual fact
Let me say to those who are in tt
least preiudiced, try them and you wi
be convinced in O short time,

No More stomach Trnnhlps.

All stomach trouble Is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
gesting what you eat without the stom-
ach's aid. The food builds up the
body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet your
self when taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
J. D. EErskine, of Allenvllle, Mich,
says, II suffered heartburn aud stom-
ach trouble for some time. My sister
in-law has had the same trouble and
was not able to eat for six weeks. She
lived entirely on warm water. After
taking two bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure she was entirely cured. She now
eats heartily and is in good health. |

Tonic to the system.

For liver troubles and constipation
there is nothing better than DeWitt's
Little Farley Risers, the famous little
pills. They do not weaken the stom-
ach. Their action upon the system is
mild, pleasant and harmless. Bob
Moore, of Lafayette, Ind, says: "No
use talking, DeWitt's Little Early
Risers do their work. All other pills /
have used grippe and make me sick in
the stomach and new r cured me. De.
Wits Little Early Risers proved to be
the long Sought relief. They are sim
ply perfect" Persons travelling find
Little Early Risers the most reliable
remeey to carry with them. Sold by

One of the hens, the oldest, is a mas

They were mated in the same pen.
This is another experiment to learn
how to select male aud female breeders
when mated with the same cock. ]
have been experimenting on this fol
several years and will here say that
with some hocks double mating is nee.
essary to produce both sexes in abun'
dance and of best quality, but l prefer
to obtain them by single mating and
thereby secure them as uniform IN col

If the breeder of any variety haI
hens of masculine build or type, it vii
be necessary for him to select a cool
bird Of very decided feminine build
but in every particular have your idea
formed and mate to produce that ideal
