Poultry Notes.

-NoNos
The best breeds will not be profitable
If they are mismanaged.
The smaller the poultry quarters the
cleaner they must be kept.
Provide nests where they are handy
for hens and handy to gather eggs
from.
Poultry is the cheapest and most eco.
nomical and best meat raised Oh the
farm.
Are you giving your poultry the at
tention you give the other stock or just
allowing it to shift for itself?
Coarse food promotes digestion and
helps to keep the fowls in a hes thy
condition. Feed as much of it as pos.
sible.
Do not simply throw :Le water out
of the drinking vessels and put in
fresh water, but wash the vessel thor.
oughly every time you change the
water.
We suspect that in a good many
cases where the egg yield fails to come
though all due attention is said to be
given the poultry, the fault is due to il.
regular care.
If market poultry is chiefly desired,
begin by killing off all the two-year.
old birds. Discard. also, all the late
Matched stock, as breeding from these
tends to decrease the size Of yuol
stock.
An experienced farmer p%ouItrylnan
says that the best way to keep poultry
droppings is to put them in Il barrel
and keep them slightly moist. using
dishwater or soapsuds where available.
When fenced away from gardens and
flower beds fowls cause but little an
noyance on a farm. They do an i'm
mense amount of good in the protection
of crops by the destruction of injurious
insects, larvae and worms.

Iceland Suffrage Paradise.

There are clubwomen in town who
say that America doesn't deserve to be
called a paradise for women and that
the only country in the world which
merits praise is Iceland. Women who
rage against their inability to vote on
great questions in the United States
should start at ono for the northern
land. Miss Jessie Akermann, who
has been living there, says the women
have more civil rights than their sis
tiers in any ,ther country in the world.
Their right of franchise is exercised
in all civic affairs save that of. election
of members to the Danish Parliament"
says she. They manage to get around
that difficulty and sustain their politi-
cal status by forming themselves into
a political league, which has 1000
members and is a factor the res' voters
are not able tt ignore."-New York

England has been trying to get away
from dependence on the American cot.
ton crop. British mill owners fear DOS
sible years Of failure and suffer from
manipulations of the American cotton
spectators. Much hope has centred
upon the attempts to raise cotton in
the British possessions in Africa. After
a thorough trial they have practically
failed. The five colonies where cotton
a be grown would not be caplable
of producing Tor than 100000 bales
yearly even with financial assistance.
good roads, transportation facilities
and central buying and ginning sta
tons. And they have none of these
advantages yet. The production of
100000 bales per year cannot be ex-
pected for eight years.
AS against the American CROP of
more than 100000 bales, this ia in
significant. 1t is apparent that Eng.
land as well as all Europe must still
buy its cotton in the United States.
That is a good thing for this country

Professor Lounsbury, of Yale, again
demolishcs the purists in verbal criti-
cism in Harper's. He champions the
everyday free mar who says "To-mor-
row is Sunday" and he criticises the
carping critic who interrupts the other
with the remark, Pardon me; you
should say Tomorrow will be Sun
day" The professor adds: eff any
person take exception to the express
sion, it is perfectly legitimate to ask
him if the day specified be not Sunday,
what day is it? Important engage

take himself elsewhere before he finds
time to answer" The professor pro-
duces arguments and examples which
silence opposition. And his text is al

Roseleaf JOIN Jasmine Jelly.

1t will soon be possible to spread the
breakfast toast with violet marmalade,
or the afternoon muffin with rose-leaf
jam.
An enterprising provincial jam max
er, says the London Express, is adding
these oainties to his list of novelties
and, greatly daring, he will also aspire
to jasmine jelly and preserved lilac.
The managing director of a famous
London firm considers the new venture
feasible, but too poetic to suit all pal
ates.

for rose-leaf JAM" said he, ''but at

client a policy on which the agents
share of the first premium was $500,
says the Worlds Work. The client de
sired the policy, but he wanted a re.

willing to give. The agent was cast

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to a frisky lot, the
Labor Union" editors. You know
down in Texas a weed called "Loco"
is sometimes eaten by a steer and
produces a arrangement Of the
brain that makes the steer "batty"
or crazy. Many Of these editors
are "Locoed" from hate Of anyone
who will not instantly obey the
demands" of a labor union, and it
is the universal habit of such writ
ers to go straight into a system of
personal utilization. manufacturing
any sort of falsehood through which
to vent their spleen. We assert that
the common citizen has a right to
live and breathe air without asking
permission of the labor trust. and
this has brought down on US the
hate of these editors. When they
go far enough with their libels, is it
harsh for US to get judgment against
them and have Il lawyers watch
for a chance 10 attach money due

A satisfactory portable cooking stove
for South Africa is yet to be pro-
duced, says the South African Gazette.
A stove which a farmer can carry in
a wagon, with a few feet Of piping,
for quick setting up, would find q
ready sale, as would another pattern
which could be fixed some few feet
from the wall in the middle Of the
rooms. This should have a large oven
for roasting meat and a large boiler
for keeping hot all day, the fire being
capable OF being quickly k.ndled at
little cost Of wood, owing to its scar
city. American, Scotch, Swedish and
French firms have all essayed to pro-
duce the requisite article, but failed,
the nearest approach to the require
ments being the Scotch 'Daver" make,
but without feet. The stove should
not be liable to breakage, and should
be sold at a low price and produced
in three sizes-Nos. 6, 7 and 6

This burst of true American girl IN

saying that Grape-Nuts, the popular

Remember, we don't put the brand

that require it. These members of
the tribe have demanded that we
carry advertising in their papers
and when we do not consider it ad-
visable they institute a campaign
of vituperation and SANDER, printing
from time to time manufactured
slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts.
When they go far enough we set
our legal force at work and hale

the pace has been hot enough to
throw some of these "cattle" over on

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one of
them, and if there was ever n ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with a little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at
all times to visitors, and thousands
pass through each month. inspecting
every department and every process.
Our factories are so clean that one
could, with good relish, eat a meal
from the floors.
The work people, both men and wo-
men, are of the highest grade in the
State of Michigan, and according to the
State labor reports, are the highest paid
In the State for similar work.
Let US tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture
of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremen-
dous elevators containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to buy.
These grains are carried through long
~conveyers to grinding mills, and there
converted into flour. Then the ma
chimes make selection of the proper
quantities of this flour in the proper
proportion and these parts are blended
into a general -four which passes over
to the big dough mixing machines, there
water, salt and a little yeast are added
and the dough kneaded the proper
length of time.
Remember that previous to the bar
ley having been ground it was passed
through about one hundred hours of
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley. which
changes the starch in the grain into a
form of sugar.
Now after we have passed it into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery
into loaves about IS inches long and 5
or 6 inches in diameter. 1t is put into
this shape for convenience in second
cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on
great steel trucks, and rolled into the
secondary ovens. each perhaps 20 or so
feet long. There the food is subjected
to a long, low heat and the starch
which has not been heretofore trans
formed, is turned into a form of sugar
generally known as Post Sugar. 1t can
be seen glistening on the granules of
Grape-Nuts if held toward the light,
and this sugar is not poured over or
put on the food as these prevaricatorS
ignorantly assert. On the contrary the
sugar exudes from the interior of each
little granule during the process of
manufacture, and reminds one of the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end of a hickory log after
it has been sawed off and allowed TO
stand for a length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digesti-
BILE food known for human use. 1t is
so perfect in its adaptability that moth
ers with very young infants will pour
a little warm milk over two or three
spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing
the sugar off from the granuies and
carrying it with the milk to the bottom

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost everv o~peration
IN our hospitals performed UPON women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
OF the female organs, pain in the side.
burning sensation in the stomach.
bearing-down pains, nervousness, diz.
illness and sleeplessness.
SEcoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is lydia
q. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else car.
For thirty year it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache.
nervousness, kidney troubles, infam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unse-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at LYNN,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value Of lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of ecoverv
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
1n-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
visingsick womenfree of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ihg female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer Of
assistance.
