In England the patriotic play, IAN
Englishman's Home" seems likely tc
awaken an enthusiasm for the army
as Charles Dibdin's sea songs did for
the navy more than hundred years
ago. It was said of their author
that by writing such songs as Come,
Cheer Up, My Lads" TON Bowling
and BLOW High, Blow Low" he
brought more men into the navy In
war time than all the press gangs
put together. And in his autobio-
graphy he boosted truly that his songs
had been "the solace of sailors on
long voyages. in storms, in battle,
and have been quoted in mutinies to
the restoration of order and disci
pline."

other weak patients, that the food IL

Il was In such q low state that |
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains Of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; In fact, was not quite as well AZ
when l left home.
MY food did not sustain me and
1t became plain that l must change.
Then l began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks I could walk q mile
without fatigue. and in Ave weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since
that time l have felt a. we'll and
strong as ever did in my life.
AS physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, consider it a duty to
make these facts public"

the regular food does not seem to sus-

POULTRY NOTES.

fOOLlh NJ Ed.
Metal troughs are better than wood

| are easily cleaned and may be scaldet

feeding mashes in sour troughs. Fer
mentation takes place which causes
sickness A fresh, clean mash fed il

makes trouble
Poultry must have vegetables in
winter. Green stuff is just as i'm
pcrtant as grain.
Some cock birds are much more
quarrelsome than others. Sometimes
it is an advantage to get rid of the
fighters.
In all successful poultry plants
work is an important factor, the at
tendent's work and the fowls work.
Better poultry in city markets
would increase sales. Everybody
likes poultry. but no ole likes the ap-
pearance of a poor looking fowl on
a market counter.
There is no such thing as luck in
the poultry business. When some
thing goes wrong there is a cause for
1t and the wise man will hunt out
the cause and pull it out by the roots.
More eggs are being produced ev-
cry year. but the market for fresh
eggs has never been fully supplied.
You can always buy eggs, but you
can seldom buy good fresh eggs in a
city market.
Watery eggs, sometimes called weak
eggs, are caused by poor food-food
that is deficient in the necessary ele-
ments to produce a good egg. Poor
food not only reduces the quality, but
the quantity. 1t pays to keep hens
well supplied with good egg forming
material and plenty Of it.
Farmers seldom have eggs to sell
in winter, in fact on some farms the
hens don't lay enough for household
use; and the reason is because the
poultry is not kept right. Hens won't
pick up all their living around the
barn yard, roost on wagon wheels
and lay eggs at the same time. TheY
may be turned out in the yard for A
little while during the warm part of
the day to advantage, but they must
have a warm house to sleep in and
they must be taken care of and well
fed both night and morning.
If the hens don't keep busy scratch
ing. they don't develOp an appetite
sufficient to produce eggs. If hens are
lazy 1t is generally the fault Of the
feeder.
Too much green bone, meat meal
or meat scraps will work injury to
fowls. A little clean meat scrap or .
fresh cut bone is all right and val
liable, but too much is worse than
none at all because it is likely to /
lead to disease,

SELECTING A BREEDING SOW.
A good deal is required of the SOW.
She is expected to furnish milk for
from seven to ten pigs for several
weeks and to turn them off in good
thrifty condition so they will keep
growing after wearning without set
back.
1t is a fairly safe rule to select a
| SOW from large litter that has turn
| ed out well, especially if the boar
| came from a similar family. 1t is rea-
sonably certain that a SOW is good
mixer if she raises a goodly number
Of pigs and does it well. Her milk
ing qualities may not be transmitted
to her offspring but the chances are
very much in her favor.
1t is generally noticed that SOW
pig taken from large litter is more
likely to produce large filters. It is
we'll established rule in breeding
that like produces like. OF course,
there are exceptions There are 50
many exceptions that nothing in the
breeding line is certain, but We are
great deal more likely to meet with
fo1f xbo
we are if we take unnecessary
chances
Generally long bodied SOW with
an arched back. ribs long so she is
deep through the body is likely to
prove a satisfactory breeder. There
are other requirements such as good
legs. pasterns and plenty of bone
without too much of a tendency to
cOarseness.
The finer points such as ears. shape
of face, nose. hair etc, are less inn
portant; still they all mean something
and each point should receive atten
ton.
Farmers, as a usual thing. are not
attempting to breed fancy stock fo-
show purposes. But it does no harm
to get as near to the show animal
type as is consistent with ones cap
ital. 1t is mistake to follow a fad
in breeding until it runs into more
money than you are likely to get
back, at the same time there is more
profit in the show type of hogs, and
you can set it out if you go after |
it in the right way.-H. A. Franklin.

STABLE VENTILATION.

Ventilation of stables is not gen
orally well understood, but it is A
subject of very great Importance. 1t
is said that the weight of air an ami
NAL takes into it's lungs is greater
than the weight of both food and, va.
| ter that the animal consumes.
An animal to be healthy must have
! pure air in abundance, but most sta
bles have no good system of ventila-
| ticn. What is meant by system in
| this connection, is some positive
means for drawing the foul air out
and replacing it with fresh air from
outside.
Most stables are badly lighted with
very small windows placed up some
where near the ceiling Too often a
light or two of glass has been brok-
en- out and the place filled in with
a board or stuffed with straw. Then,
if the farmer is careless enough to
leave decaying vegetables in the feed
alleys, OF if he feeds brewers grains
and permits the boxes and managers
place in which to house live stock.
During the past year, great many
Investigations have been conducted to
determine the cause of so much tuber-
culosis in dairy herds. and grea.
deal of the trouble has been traced
directly to insufficient ventilation. A
lot of cows are crowded into a stable
and shut up to keep warm, without
regard to consequences.-Epit
THREATENED BY THE MOTH.
At conference at the New York
State Department of Agriculture, it
was decided to send to each nursery
man of the State a letter of warning
against the brown tail moth, which
has been found in some importations
of nursery seedlings recently arrived
from France. The caterpillars have
been identified by Professor Singer
land, of Cornell University; Profess
sor Parrot, Of the New York station,
and State Entomologist Felt This
insect pest has not become estab-
lished in New York, and nurserymer
and orchardists who know of it's de-
predations in Massachusetts will unite
to repress it. The discovery of its
presence having been made at this
early date gives the inspectors of
the Agricultural Department ample
opportunity to examine all incoming
stock and to attend to necessary fu-
in which measures the nur-
serymen will co-operate-Weekly
