Under some conditions chickens may
be permitted to have the run Of the
vegetable garden and will do but little
harm until they are half grown. They
will scratch more or less, but after the
plants are well started the scratching
will do little harm. The chicks will
consume vast quantities of insects and
save many plants that would other
wise be eaten by the insects. 1t is
not good plan. however, to turn
chicks into the vegetable garden unless
they are fed regular ratlons, and also
have an opportunity to get green food
in other places, for they will probably
tear at the plants and destroy more or
less. If one will watch the chicks it
is entirely safe to give them an hour
or more daily In the vegetable garden.
In that time they will hunt out and eat
more insects than one could gather in
half day. Turn them In after they
have had the morning feed, and they
will do little or no harm.

Line Breeding,

Line breeding is another term for
inbreeding, not haphazard, but sclen-
tIfic inbreeding, says D. j. Coyne, Jr.,
In Commercial Poultry. For example,
a breeder starts with a trio or pen
Of unrelated or distantly related birds.
The next season he must not mate
their progeny alone, for that would be
dangerous Observation-Disclosures ana
sisters-and the stock Is all young.
Experience has taught us that such a
mating produces infertIle eggs and
young stock lacking In vitality. The
proper matings are to mate the cock
bird to his pullets and the best cock
erel to the hens. and SO on year after
year the birds are mated, young to
old and old to young, without the In
PRODUCTION OF strange blood, the OBJ
ject being to avoid mating brothers
and sisters, birds too closely related
or immature birds.

The same man who was offered the forty slaves at G1S a head had In sheer pity bought little girl from a Portuguese lady last autumn, and he found her back scored all over with the cut of the chi cotte, just like the back of trek OK un- der training.

 If her system is in deranged condi- tion, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, itiis at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden.
 At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destruc- tive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dig ziness, headache, dread of impending evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal pitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inqui- etude are promptly needed by intelli- gent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is the worlds greatest remedy for women at this trying period, and may be relied npon to overcome all dis dressing symptoms and carry them safely through to a healthy and happy old age.
 Lydia B. Pinklram's Vegetable Com pound invigorates and strengthens the Female organism. and builds up the weakened nervous system us uo ooner medicine can.
