In place of eggs worth $1.6S per
fowl, if their value be computed at
present prices in Portland they would
be worth $2.5S per fowl. In other
words, on the basis of present prices,
food costing 80 cents when fed to hens
produces eggs worth $2.5S. This is a
pretty good margin of profit in feed
ing 90-cent wheat.
It may be said that the average
flock of hens does not lay 144 eggs per
fowl. That is true. 1t is also true
that IA eggs per fowl is not phenom-
email. The right kind of hens properly
attended should average $50 and we'll
bred hens considerably more. The av-
erage farm flock will not average 1875,
probably not 100.
In these experiments all the food
eaten was paid for at market prices
and the cost averaged only Sc cents
per hen. The cost would have been
only 80 cents if the wheat had cost 80
cents per bushel. The farmer, how
ever, who keeps fifty or a hundred
hens can do better than that, for on
the average farm that number of hens
may be kept largely on the waste pro-
ducts or by-products of the farm. They
will find the animal food in the fields
in the shape Of bugs, grasshoppers,

KASPARiLL-A

Tlis sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for ''world of
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispe1s drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

PERUNA ADVISED FOR
SUDDEN COLDS.
II Should be Taken According to Di
rectiOns an the Bottle. at the
First Appearance Of the Cold.

st. Joseph, Mich, Sept, 1901.-Last
winter l caught sudden cold, which
developed into an unpleasant catarrh
of the head and throat, depriving me of
my appetite and usual good spirits. A
friend who had been cured by Peruna
advised me to try it, and sent for a
bottle at once, and I am glad to say that
in three days the phlegm had loosened
and | felt better, my appetite returned
and within nine days / was in my usual
good health.

worms, ETC., and there will usually be
skim-milk or buttermilk. There need
therefore be no cost for animal food,
resulting in a saving of to 10 cents
per fowl. The clover or grass they eat
will have little marketable value. The
destruction of grasshoppers in the
clover and grain fields and of bugs in
the orchards will, where these insects
are bad, offset large part of the an
nual cost of food for the fowls in
better crops.
In experiments with larger breeds
the cost of feeding was greater. The
cost of feeding Plymouth Rocks aver
aged $1.l5 per fowl and of Wyandottes
$l.UO. This extra cost is largely offset
when the fowls are marketed, the
larger breeds bringing more than the
small breeds.

him because of his disclosures of their

and proverbs, and is lively example

discusses also in this volume, the ideal
