Protect the Hens.

When warm weather comes we must
look out for the hen lice. | clean my
henhouse out every week all winter
and give a general cleaning twice a
year.
AS the roosting rooms are lined with
tarred paper seldom have many lice,
and the few that there are can be de-
stroyed eby the use of insect powder,
kerosene and whitewash.
In an old building the little red mites
are sometimes worse than lice, these
stay on roosts and in cracks of build
ing during the day and may be de-
stroyed by liberal applications OF
whitewash, aided by carbolic acid.
When you set hen, dust her and
the nest with insect powder and keep
a constant lookout for the lice. If any
get on the young chicks, put bit of
oil or grease on tht chicks head, but
do not grease them all over and then
apply sulphur. try to have the hen
free from lice before the eggs hatch.
1t is not well to put grease on the sit
ting hen as it may injure the eggs by
closing up the pores in shells.-John
Upton, in the Farmers Home Journal.

The average length of hens egg
is 2.27 inches; diameter at the broad

eighth of pound.
Plant standard apple trees 40 feet
each way, with peach or pear trees as
filters between them. When the filler
trees are well grown they will have
plenty of room without crowding the
standard ones.
Sal soda is excellent for removing
fat and grease from milk pals, cans
and separators, but soap is best for
dirt alone. Sal soda Is neither pois-
onous nor corrosive. Use with water
in small proportions.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts arc known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.

Green Food For Dairy Cattle.

Dairymen should give much attefi-
tion to green crops, whether they use
the entire pasture or not Green crops
afford large variety and cost less
than any other food, giving large
amount of forage and assisting in
keeping the land in good condition.
Rye, crimson clover, cow peas, green
corn, rape and oats are all suitable
for producing green food in abundance
and, as rye and crimson clover give
a supply in the spring, before grass
has made growth of any consequence,
they should be in the line of rotation.
Oats and peas broadcasted together,
may be seeded very early If the ground
is not frozen and they will give a
larger amount of green food ON one
acre than can be secured from three
or four acres of pasture and the for
age may be cut off and given to the
animals at the barn. When the green
food is no longer suitable for cutting,
sheep may be turned on the remainder
and will find fair proportion of food
Later cow peas may be sown and they
will leave the land in better condition
than before. Essex rape is also an
excellent early forage and as many
dairy men and farmers have not given
1t trial, those who will make the ex-
pertinent with 1t as green forage will
not fail to give it place on the farm

Grain With Pasture.

There is no way in which shoat
can be made to gain so fast as by feed
ing corn or other grain in connection
with grass. A little soaked corn fed
daily while the shoats are on clover
puts the animals in marketable con-
dition. Feeders should remember that
no one kind of feed is as good feed
alone as when combined with one or
two other kinds of feed. Both grass
and corn are natural and excellent
hog feeds, but neither one is as good
as when combined with the other.
Corn makes fat very fast when the
system Is in "a healthy, thirty con-
dition, and nothing equals grass as
a conditioner.
Grass and corn feeding combined
keeps the animal in good condition
to be marketed at any time after June
to the middle of August. The best
market is often during the summer
months, and when the hogs are ready
it can be taken advantage of and the
grass used for younger animals.
If pasture is not available, rape and
corn make a splendid combination,
also peas and oats and corn. What
ever the green feeds, give the animal
some grain with it, and hurry them
along before the fall rush comes. A
good allowance of slop twice day,
made of wheat shorts and water (miik
if available), is excellent.-TheF Farm

Alfalfa Yields.

In cooperative tests with farmers at
the Maryland experiment station the
reports received show yields ranging
from two and quarter to seven tons
per acre. One farmer reported yield
of five tons per acre on a field OF 66
acres seeded twelve years ago. Inc
results of incubation tests showed the
value of using alfalfa and sweet cloV-
er soil for this purpose.
Of the farmers reporting 122 had
good stands at the time of making
their reports, while SO had been un-
successful. Of the successful parties
81 used manure, sc lime, 81 commercial
fertilizer, 80 commercial fertilizer and

LYDIA E. PlNKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women" . 4
s. What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

Keen the Hoas Clean.

In no place on the farm are disinfec-
tants so necessary as In the hoS
house and yards. Whitewash should
be used about the houses at least once
during the year. Every two or three
weeks the houses, feeding floors,
troughs, ETC., should be sprayed with a
disinfectant. The tar disinfectants
are the most convenient to use. These
should be used in not less than TWO
percent water solution. An occasional
spraying or dipping of the hogs in
one percent water solution should be
practiced.-Weekly Witness.
