The Double Yolked Egg.

Some one asks If the double
Yolked egg will hatch. Another
person answers that 1t will
not. Very likely the man that
gave the answer did not know There
have been several double yolked eggs
that he has not seen. 1t is not de-
sirable to set double yolked eggs. or
to hatch monstrosities, but there is
no reason for doubling that now and
then a double yolked egg has hatch
ed. 1t may have produced two weak
chickens, or it may have produced
one chicken with double parts. The
matter is not, however, of enough
Importance to warrant investigation.

Liver Complaint Of Fowls.


This is disease that we read about
but that very few raisers of poultry
think their fowls have / am satisfied
that 1t is more prevalent than most
people Imagine. I had an experience
with it myself once that convinced me
that 1t may exist without being sus-
pected. never should have discov-
cred 1t myself had l not been of an
st.sating turn of mind. One win
ter had kept my flock in place
tRut was rather dark and damp. This
is said to be the condition that favors
the development of the germ that
causes liver disease. The birds all
had a healthy appearance, and yet one
day was surprised to find one of them
lying dead in the poultry yard.
picked up the bird and found that it
was still warm. It's comb was red and
there was not sign of any trouble
about 1t. The next day | found an
other under the roosts dead, having
apparently dropped dead without any
cause. The third day / saw white
rooster running about the yard, and
little while after noted that he, too,
was lying quite still in one corner.
went to him and found that he was
dead. l determined to investigate, and
got a sharp knife and began an au-
topsy. found all the organs in per-
feet condition with the exception of
the liver and the heart. The heart
had not drop of blood in it, while
the liver was swollen with blood. 1t
looked to me as If every drop of blood
had run out of the heart into the
liver, but friend of mine, physician,
told me that / was mistaken. The
liver, instead of taking blood from
the heart, had caught all the blood as
it came from the veins and had pre-
vented it from getting to the heart
The heart had emptied itself in it's
effort to keep up circulation. then
got hold of poultry book on poultry
diseases, and found that the fowls
had lost and died of liver disease

All, women work; some in their
homes, some in church. and some in
the whirl of society. aud in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject TO the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature Of
their duties, in many eases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian

Variations In TiAaoe.

There is no one method of tillage
that is best under all conditions. A
man must learn what kinds of tillage
are best suited to his needs and to his
soil. 1t is impossible to lay down gen.
eral principles that can be followed.
A few years ago extensive plowing
was done in the state of Illinois when
the land was really too wet to pillow.
The result was that the land took the
form Of clods and all the narrowing
that could be done did not pulverize
them. Two men would stand on the
harrow at once, and yet the harrow
would slip over the heavy clods. The
blowing had been done at the usual
time and this was in that year just
the wrong time for 1t. Had the pillow
men waited two weeks until the sol
was in friable condition, a vast
amount Of work would have been
saved. The kind of tillage should vary
with the soil, the time of year when
the blowing Is done, and the particu.
lar time when the crop is to be put
In. There are some lands that can be
titled at almost any time when the
frost is out OF the ground. We know
of large areas of rolling farm land
where men can go on with the pillow
and the harrow an hour after heavy
rain has stopped. We, know of other
fields where land cannot be worked
for weeks after heavy rain, and
where all work would make the soil
worse instead of better.

Color of YoIks of Eqas.

The yolks of eggs differ very much
in their color. Some are a
very light yellow and some
a very dark yellow. The cause of this
variation may be found in several
things. The chief of these is the COM
position of food. Some farmers say
that when their poultry receive a
large supply of green food, the yolks
have a darker color than when the
supply of green food is limited.

Medicines Have stood TIES. of Time.

The leading proprietary medicines
that have stood the test Of time are
of known therapeutic value" says a
medical authority They are prepar-
ed in laboratories of the highest
grade, under the care of skilled phar-
macists, and they are made from ap.
proved formulas which. in many in
stances, have been the especial pride
and specific of some successful physi-
clan. They have been tried in the
crucible of public opinion and they
have been found satisfactory by the
people, for otherwise the people would
discontinue using them"

Oats After Leaumes.

Oats are especially helped by being
grown after leguminous crops. On
many soils it would pay to
sow some seeds of pod-bear-
ing plant early in the fall, and
allow the crop to make considerable
growth before being plowed under.
These oats would be particularly bene-
flied if the vetch, or other pod-bearing
crop has been innoculated with nitro
gen producing bacteria, if the field
has not previously been in some pod
bearing crop.
