in charge reported that the little bugs

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experiences:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass off. In II month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites Of
her eyes would be yellow.
THE doctors gave us no encourage.
ment they all said they could not help
her After taking one box Of Dodd' $
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. or course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about n dozen boxes ana we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure healthy, happy
future for them.

SUMNER BEDDING FOR HORSES

Some horse owners seem 10 think that
because it is summer and no heat is
needed Il horse can be comfortable with
out bedding. Such men ought to try
sleeping ON the bare springs OF their beds
for awhile 1t is no waste OF material to
make the bed of the horse as comfortable
during summer as in the winter: 1t is not
necessary TO be so liberal with the straw
as on cold night. but there should be
enough so that the bed is comparatively
soft. If one wishes TO economics try the
plan of buying load of shavngs the
short ones) from planning mill and use
these in the stall several inches deep.
then cover them with the long straw or
other material used 1t requires less
straw and the shavinss will absorb much
of the liquid eXcrement. By using them
literally top layer may be removed and
the rest will do for another night or two.
Do not however, use these shavings too
freely in the manure pile. Some will not
iniure the manure but will act as an alb
sorbent. If one has too many shavings to
put in the manure pile use the cleanest of
them in the hog pen or in the corner of
the hog yard where the animals lay during
the day: in this way they will be con-
verified in the hog droppings to good fer

pubic were prepared for the an
houncement OF large numbers in 1908,
NO surprise therefore will be caused
when 1t Is made known that the pre-
dlctiohs of fully fifty thousand in 1905
are warranted IN the fact that The
spring movement Canadnward is
greater than it has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago.
ST. Paul, Detroit and other gateways
nave been crowded. Many have gone
to join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others

fact that the wheat lands. adjoining

After the coarSest of the winter mulch

WHITE OR DARK EGGS.

In some sections the demand is for white
shell eggs and in other sections just as
insistent for eggs with brown shells. The
demand for brown eggs is better for the
poultryman, for it enables him to keep
Plymouth Rocks Wyandottes or
Brahmes, all of which will furnish the
brown egg and at the same time splen-
did carcass for the market. while if he
wants the white egg and p pure bred fowl
at the same time he must depend largely
on the White Leghorn which, as car
cass fowl is about as poor specimen of
chicken as one wishes to eat. To obtain
white egg and large carcass is not SO
easy. but one may obtain an egg nearly
white by breeding the White Plymouth
Rock or White Wyandotte males to White
,Ieghorn females. The eggs are not of
that pura white shell lain by the pure
.Leghorn bur they are much lighter in
shade than the highest egg laid by Ply
mouth Rocks, while the carcass Is but
little If any smaller than that of the Ply
mouth Rock. and the egg production is
about between the Rock and the Leghorn.
