Thumps in pigs is caused by sur
plus of fat and lack of exercise. The
humping Is due to violent beating OF
the heart, causing shaking movement
OF the sides and tanks Of the animal
Often it is SO violent that the whole
body trembles and shakes with the
movements. In aggravated cases the
pig Is weak and uncertain In his
walk, and lies down most OF the time.
Before death the nose. ears and other
parts of the body become red and pur-
ple with congss;ed blood, due to weak
circulation.
Advanced cases of the thumps are
difficult to cure. When first symptoms
are noticed reduce tho bedding II there
is much in their sleeping quarters;
reduce the feed and compel the pig
to exercise in the open air. Fresh air
will purify the blood and exercise will
promote circulation. When pigs be-
come fat and lazy they will lie In bed
a great part OF the time, often com.
pletely covered with bedding, 30 that
they breathe impure air and dust
This poisons the blood and reduces
the vitality in general, which, with
compression Of the heart with surplus
fat, causes the malady.
In the spring or summer when pas.
ture is good IL Is well to change pas
ture Of hogs afflicted With the thumps
30 that they will be induced to take
more exercise and eat green food. Re-
duce heavy feeding and keep the
bowels Of the animal loose by doses
OF castor oil. A little turpentine in
the slop or drinking water is said to
be good.

The Poultry Yard.

A flock might just as well roost In
trees as in a house full of cracks and
holes, which chills the birds in spots
and poduces bad colds.
hen too fat gets lazy; she takes
no interest in life. One too poor cares
nothing about her egg record. The
happy medium Is happy hen.
Some people are willing to pay an
extra price for eggs on one color.
Many people get cent or more a dog
en- for sorting their hen fruit accord
Ing to size and color.
On some farms the young chickens
are allowed to roost outdoors during
the summer and fall. They should at
once be trained to winter quarters,
and the sooner this is done the better.
1t Is worth the poultry raisers
while to remember that an earth floor
Is unhealthful when the location Ia
naturally wet and not well drained.
With this kind of location 1t will pay
to put in board floor.
Take no chances by having too
many chickens together In one flock.
If you see they are getting to be
crowded In their winter quarters,
make thrift and health certainty by
dividing them up, or selling some of
them.
You may have an idea that poultry
can hunt their own grit. You are
wrong. Grit Is as essential as feed.
Get a grit box. fill It with crushed
rock and oystershell, and hang 1t on
the wall where dirt will not bs
scratched into it-Farm Journal.

Value of Coal Ashes.

There is more value in coal ashes
than is generally realized by the
farmer. For the amelioration of heavy
clay land they are exceptionally valu-
able This is particularly so with the
ashes OF soft coal, as such usually ara
reduced almost to dust.
Coal ashes have fertilizer value.
This opinion, however, Is not held gen.
orally. The coal beds contain phos-
phorous, potash, nitrogen and lime, al
well as the other less important ipgre-
dients. When the original trees out
Of which were formed the coal beds
were reduced to coal the mineral ele-
ments remained in them, and conse-
quently those same elements go with
the ashes One authority says that
the reason why people have formed an
idea that coal ashes contain no fertil.
ity Is that the trees now grown have
In them less carbon than those in the
old days and thus the percentage Of
other elements to carbon Is probably
greater now than then, which gives a
larger value to our wood ashes but
does not annihilate the value in the
coal ashes. Ashes can be used to ad-
vantage without sitting, but large
quantities of half-burned coal are by
some considered a detriment to the
soil

Hay Fever and
 Catarrhal Asthma

Tens of thousands of sufferers from hay fever and catarrhal asthma find great comfort and quick relief by breathing Hyomei.
 Of course where asthma is not caused by a catarrhal condition. but by nervous contraction of the bron- cfial tubes, Hyomei is not recon - mended.
 But in either hay fever or asthma where there Is a discharge of mucous, breathing Hyomei gives most wonder ful relief by soothing the irritated and highly infiamed membrane.
 Mir w. A. White, R. F. D. No. 1, Transport. writes: "I have been both cred with asthma for over five years but could not get any relief until ] tried Hyomei l have spent lots of money on remedies for asthma, and if I could not get another bottle I would not be without Hyomei for $50. l rec ommend it highly"
 A complete Hyomei outfit, including hard rubber pocket inhaler costs $1.00, with instructions for use in hay fever and asthma. Extra bottles of Hyomei cost 50 cents at druggists everywhere and at The Lee & Osgood Co.
