The Colony Plan.

If YOU want vigorous chickens ana
hens that lay do not overcrowd them.
Forty or fifty in one flock are sutli-
cient If you have more than this num-
Der by all means make change, for
your chickens are probably costing you
more than they are worth If You da
not care to sell any of your birds then
start into the chicken business on the
colony plan. Divide your flock into
colonies of about forty fowls each and
build houses for them in different parts
of the farm. For instance, if you have
one hen house on the east side of the
barn, put another house on the west
side Then if YOU have enough birds
and another To the farther end of the
barn yard \ dozen different places will
suggest themselves if YOU look for To-
cations on your farm. If you have
your hens don't amount to much"
try this method 1t will surprise and
please you. Your hens will be healthier
will lay better and will require less
feed. The reason for this will be easily
seen when you have once tried it.
Chickens. or anything else for that mat
ter, cannot stand CToWding Also the
colony pla1 gives the fowls wider range
and encourages the birds to hunt for
their living. Exchange

A Gate for the Barn Doorway.
When the horse stable opens into
the buggy room and it is necessary to
keep the door open for ventilation, l

light material is an excellent protec-

injuring the buggies. The cut here

in our horse barn. 1t is very simple
in construction. but serves very i'm

light gate we would find it necessary
to keep the door closed between the
horse stable and buggy room, thus
shutting off ventilation.
The gate is hinged onto the rolling
door with light strap hinges, explains a

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and a 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 ettica-
cious than any combination Otdrugs.
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 l 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.
followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
it will do for other suffering women.

What Beef Men Think of SiInge.
The success attending the use Of
silage in the dairy business has created
much interest among beef cattle men
Silage furnishes succulent food
which is quite essential to the dairy
sow in keeping her digestive system in
good condition. The same will be found
true for the beef animal. Twenty
pounds of silage per day will supply
all the bulk and water needed In a
fattening ration. The other roughage
may consist of either long fodder or
mixed hay. The economy OF using
silage for fattening purposes is well
brought out by Prof. A. NJ Soule Of
the Virginia station, who has stated the
following conclrsions
There was difference of from 3
to 5 of pound of grain per head per
day in favor of the silagefed cattle.
They also finished out better and in
any discriminating market would Ger
tainly bring a better price than the
dry-fed cattle.
''Of the three forms Of roughage fed.
the silage was eaten with the greatest
relish, and there was absolutely no
loss, whereas with the stover the loss
amounted to 1873 per cent and with hay
4.16 per cent. Where large number
of animals are fed this would make a
considerable difference in the cost of
ration. except that the shredded stover
can be utilized to advantage for bed
ding"
Silage as it is put up to-day is bet
ter than when the practice was first
started. Good silage of corn is made
when the grain has passed the milk
stage and has commenced to glaze lit
tie Silage is made also from sorghum,
corn and cowpeas and pea vines.
