Summer In the Poultry Yard.


Young ducklings are easily killed
by the hot sun.
Ducks are in good demand III July
and August. Watch the market re-
ports and sell when prices are high.
The late, wet season has been pref.
TT hard on young chicks and will.
therefor, require careful attention
all summer to bring them through IN
good condition.
Thousands Of chickens die from
bowel trouble during the summer
months. This is generally caused by
wet feed, which sours quickly during
the hot weather.
II the late Matched chickens are
allowed to run with the early birds
the little fellows will get the worst
OF 1t at feeding time.
We are apt to neglect the hens as
soon as they fall off in egg produc-
ton. Careful and regular feeding,
however, will keep up the egg supply
LARRY well, even during hot weather.
II the hens are allowed to run
through the dew-laden grass every
oay or two they are not likely to be
troubled with scaly legs, which are
caused by parasites.
1t is downright cruelty to keep
fowls In yards hot and not well
shaded.

times. One night the fog came up and

I couldn't find the old cow. Knew
where she was in the habit of lying,
though, and followed her easy enough.
Got to her just in time, too.
"Why, just went through the hole
she made in the fog-sort of tunnel
like-and pretty soon came up to
her. She was almost smothered. You
see the fog had packed ahead of her
and she'd damned her horns into it

The favour of Postum, when boiled
according to directions, is always the
same-mild, distinctive, and palatable.
It contains no harmful substance like
caffeine, the drug in coffee, and hence
may be used with benefit at all times.
Believing that coffee was the cause
of my torpid liver, sick headache and
misery in many ways" writes an Ind.
lady, II quit and bought package of
Postum about year ago.
"My husband and I have been so
well pleased that we have continued
to drink Postum ever since. We like
the taste Of Postum better than coffee,
as it has always the same pleasant
favour, while coffee changes its taste
with about every new combination or
blend.
"Since using Postum I have had no
more attacks Of gall collie, the heavi-

common, everyday headache is a

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the Importance
OF the words Trade Mark" STAMPED
on the goods they buy. If they did
it would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put q
lot OF INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out of the business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re-.
sponsibflity for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu-
ton in his hands-out in the lime
llght--"on the square" with the buy.
er Of his goods, with the dealer. and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out Inducements" offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand = sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro-
lection afforded the public by trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
Using of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty Of puri-
ty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address blow-pipe and instruc-
tons how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing outfit is be-
ing sent out from the New York
Office of the company, Woodbridge
Building.

failed. Then my mother recommended
the Cuticura Remedies. I washed my

times and I can say that they have
been entirely cured. I have another
