Recently l purchased a number OF
fowls that had been brought up on

there was much smoke from soft coal.
In addition they had been confined on
a small area and had padded the
ground into mud. Their plumage was
gray and black with smoke and the
scattering from the rains to which
they had been exposed. They had also
oecCme very dirty from the mud in
which they had been compelled to
walk. They were disposed of at a
sale and presented such lamentable
appearance on the day Of sale that
no one wanted them. Every one

way, it is estimated, some men may
save large amounts Of money which
they can then use in their business. A

enough to grow cold or hard or they
do more harm than good. Have a hot
one ready to apply before removing
the one that is on.
There are many kinds of poultices,
but the old-fashioned flaXseed is most
generally used. 1t is most cfficacious
for breaking UP a severe cold on the
