SPRING CATARRH.
Bowditch & Webster and Percy w.
Means Sell Hyomei Under Guarantee
of Cure.

The chanGcablc weather of Spring is
directly responsible for the prevalence
of catarrhal troubles in Augusta at the
present time.
AS result. Bowditch & Webster
and Percy w. Means have had a larger
sale for Hyomei the past week than
ever before in the years that they have
handled this reliable treatment for the
cure of catarrh.
If there is a single catarrhal germ in
the system, Hyomei will search il out
and absolutely destroy it, completely
graduating the trouble. The remedy
has made so many cures among Bow
witch & Wcbster's and Percy w.
Means customers that they offer to
pay for it themselves if it does not
benefit even the worst case Of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only 81.
consisting of an inhaler, mcdiCiue
droppcr. and bottle of Hyomci. while
extra bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tained for so cents. There will not be
even this small expense if Hyomei does
not cure, as Bowdtch & Webster or
Percy w. Means will return your
money.

NOW FOR SPRING FISHING.
Ice Goes Out of Cobbosseecontce Mon
day Afternoon.

In accordance with an official an
nouncemCnt received last evening, the
spring fishing season at Lake cobbus-
Seecont"c will commence this morning.
and now the local anglers and others
can take themselves to that home 0f
the trout and salmon. fish all that they
care to and catch what they can.
From the condition of the ice Sunday
it was not expected that il would last
long, but the first notice Of its going
was received yesterday noon by a tclc-
phone message to Col. r. w. Soulc,
which stated that the ice had left the
north end Of the lake and had gone as
far down as could be seen from that
point Last night another message
was received at about 8 O'Clock. at the
Journal Office. from that veteran fish
erman and bonifacc, Joseph Emery.
proprietor of the Lake House at the
Outlet, which contained the informa
ton that the coast was clear.
Mr.. Emery said that the ice diSap-
peared about O'Clock. and that with
the exception of some broken stuff in
a few of the coveS, the lake was as
free of ice as ii is in the summer.
II IS expected that tnefe VIII bc a
rush of fishermen to the lake today,
for although the weather is cold and
SHOW fell last night, the weather con-
ditiOnS count for little when compared
with the desire of the Augusta fisher
men to catch the first trout of the sea-
son. Last year was a great year for
CobbOSscecontce in the way of fishing.
and the number of trout and salmon
caught placed the lake among the best
fishing grounds of the State. and it is
the belief of many that the fishing will
be equally good this year.

with his launch pilot" on lake Cob

stand why it is that when food is de-
ficient in lime and other mineral mat
ter the eggs are soft-shelled; why a
ration deficient in protein produces
weak, spindling chickens, or a ration
containing an excess of easily digest
BILE carbohydrate matter causes the
fowl to become excessively fat. Thus
we see the necessity of having proper
ly balanced ration; which simply
means that there must be a properly
balanced relationship between the food
nutritious in the ration i'm order to pro-
duce a perfect animal or a perfect egg.
Is it any wonder, then, that a hen
whose body contains q per cent. of
protein, and whose egg contains more
than IL per cent. of the same nutrient,
will fail to grow well or to lay salts
factOrily when her food is deficient in
this particular material, or any other
that her body requires?

Knack of Selling Eggs.

The Texas StOckman and Farmer
gives some good directions for es-
tablishing a market for eggs. We
would suggest two other items that
would help to gain and hold trade.
First, have no cocks with your hens
from which you are to sell eggs for
table use. Infertile eggs will keep al
most Indefinitely. Second, get small
rubber stamp and date each egg, every
day. In this way it will not take long
to establish reputation which will
enable you to sell all the eggs that
you can produce at a good price.
Getting the eggs is the only factor
in making a success of the egg bust
ness. Much depends on finding the
best markets. There is always mar
ket for eggs at some price, but be-
tween the. low level of huckster or
corner grocery prices and the fancy
nearby" price in the city there is
wide range. Yesterday in store ON
the Boston market L saw eggs offered
for sale at u, %, %, 80 and 30 cents
a dozen. That is margin enough to
make all the difference between sue
cess and failure; and yet the man who
produced the highest priced eggs has
no secret processes and no advantages
that others can not have. Any one
else who cares to do it can furnish as
good eggs, and when it once becomes
known can get as good prices.
An unknown man could hardly
l. init nj nt nd
the highest prices at once because
there is reputation back of those 30
cent eggs. That is also not hard to
get. These eggs were strictly fresh;
they were of good size and clean and
all were the shade of brown which
Boston requires in the highest priced
eggs. The 21-cent eggs were all guar
anteed good, but they were ''f1Oaters'
eggs in which the whites have be-
come soft and watery through age or
temperature or three days in
hot room will make a fiOater of fresh
egg. They were also dirty, of mixed
cOlOrs and some were small in size.
SO long as eggs are sold or traded
OUT at the corner grocery quality
does not much matter and good prices
are impossible. The first step is to
break away from this custom and ship
to the city where quality is appre-
ciated. And yet it seldom pays to
ship to the city of the eggs that must
be consigned to the commission men,
because they are not able to get the
best prices. No fancy grocer will at
tempt to supply his trade from the
stuff he is able to pick up on the open
market 1t is useless also to pay COM
missions when the eggs can be shipped
direct to the man who wants them,
and it is a comparatively small mat

Feeding the Laying Hens The
Principles.

We find, in Poultry Success, an ar
ticle on this subject by Prof. James
e. Rice, of Cornell University:
Profitable Production Depends on
Three FactOrS-GOOd Hens, Con-
genial Surroundings, and Suitable
Food.
% Good hens-This implies an in
born tendency to lay, and great vi
tality to withstand the heavy drain ON
the system.
(2D Surroundings that are con-
genialEThis has to do, first, with
physical comfort as provided by a
warm, clean, rOOmy house, with an
abundance of pure air and sunshine,
and a place to wallow; second, with
cOntentment, which is induced by pro-
viding a place free from disturbing
influences. 70 lay well a hen must,
first of all, be made to feel at home
Reproduction is based upon higher
law than merely a satisfied stomach.
Unless hens feel happy no amount
of good feeding will induce them to
lay. 1t is because of this law OF con-
tentment that many hOckS of hens, feel
ing the privacy, safety and freedom
of their unpretentiOuS home, are pro-
ducing eggs abundantly in the dead OF
winter, on simple but wholesome food i,
while many fiOcks kept in expensive
houses and fed most elaborate ratiOnS
are practically unproductive.
90 An abundance of the food best
suited to produce the greatest vigor of
the reproductive system. This applies
more especially to hens kept in the
best possible health. Other conditions
being favorable, suitable food, proper
ly fed, has much to do with cgg-prC-
ductiOn
The Kind of Food Determines, to
Large Extent, the Character of the
Product.
This is true whether it be in the
production of meat or eggs. We must
realize that the egg is Il manufactured
product; that it is made from food by
a wonderfully delicate process of di-
gestiOn and secretion, and for this
reason there must be close relation
ship between the food consumed and
the product desired. This is found by
chemical investigation to be true.
Notice the similarity in composition
between the raw materials the food,
and the finished prOduct-the fowl
and the egg:
RAW MATERIALS.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-02-21

If we examine the body of hen
we find fat, lean meat and bone. If
we examine the food that she eats we
discover, i'm wheat for example, that
it contains starch and oil the carbOhy-
drates of fat-fOrming materially, which
is the fat of the grain and which,
when eaten by the animal, goes to
make heat, energy and fat. We see
also little grains of gluten, which
might be called the lean of the grain
and which, when utilized by the ami
NAL. makes the lean meat. We fur
Their find the mineral matter (the ASH,
which might be called the bone of the
wheat and which, when assimilated
by the animal, makes bone and egg
shell. Therefore it is easy to under
