SCALES ALL OVER HER BODY

About three years ago / was af-

treated me for ringworm. l saw no
change and consulted a specialist and
he claimed had psoriasis. l contin-
ued treatments under him for about
six months until l saw scales break
ing out all over my body save my
face. My scalp was aft acted, and my
hair began to fall. then changed
doctors to no avail. l went to two
hospitals and each wanted to make a
study of the case and seemed unable
to cure 1t or assure me of cure.

How He Ayerted 4 Duel.

The following is told Of former Sen
ator Joe Blackburn Of Kentucky:
In the days of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by friend to sec
ond him in duel, He consented, and
at sunrise the parties met at the ap'

tuckian's duty to say the last words
touching the terms of the duel. But,

A murmur OF why not?" invariably

told, whereupon the answer is as fol

WAY OF FATTENING TURKEYS
When Fit for Market Give Nothing
but Corn for Ten Days or Two
4 Weeks-Points in Killing.

My White Holland turkeys are six
or seven months old when ready for
market, says a writer in the Poultry
Journal At that time they have reach
ed a weight of IL to Is pounds for
toms and to 10 pounds for hens and
usually bring Is to % cents pound
undressed. During the spring and
summer they always have free range
and thus gather a very large part of
the feed, though l always feed night
and morning to encourage them to
come to the barnyard at night.
When they are fit to kill they are
fed upon corn for 10 days or two
weeks, but during the last "a hours
receive nothing The most important
points in killing are that the birds
should be stuck Immediately back of
the ear and the jugular vein severed,
so that they will bleed through the
mouth. If dry picked, their feathers
will command the highest market
price Picking is easiest done if COM
menced as soon as the bird is killed
and before it becomes cold. This pre-
vents tearing the skin.
l begin on the thighs along the
breast, picking quickly. The wings,
back and head are picked last Feath-
ers are sorted as pulled, the soft feath-
ers going in one grade and the stiff
ones in two others. Plumes are kept
separate. After being picked, the
bodies are washed in cold water and
put on a shaping rack. When cold,
the carcasses are wrapped separately
in paper and packed in barrel.
Feathers are spread out in an attic or
other dry room. The fluff feathers
sell for 40 to so cents pound, wing
feathers at 25 to 80 cents

She 10 Under Fire In Several States
Where Divorce Proceedings
Are On.

At present the mother-in-law Is I'M
der fire from many quarters. In vari-
GUS states divorces are pending where
practically the whole issue Is that the
mother-in-law is at the bottom OF the
whole trouble. 1t is situation which
.alls for calm consideration. There
has been too much temperament IN
he past In fact, it seems hard to dis
:uss it without betraying some emo
ion. Almost every man and woman
as had a mother-in-law. We do not
hink that they are happy who have
scaped this dispensation of Provi-
1ence, but we have much sympathy
'or those who, in this progressive age,
nave long string of them. No man
an achieve distinction in society with
,ut three divorces, and this simply
aCds to his mOthers-in-law by this
number
It is curious fact that in these
days it is not the man who complains
Of his mother-in-law He has been
tanned too well for that. In the state
Of bondage which husbands now en-
joy they dare not open their mouths
on the subject. 1t is the wives who
kick about the mothers of their hus.
bands. There all the dishonor lies.
1t is most astonishing but true that
mothers think more of their sons, as
rule, than of their daughters.
No mother can believe that her
dauohtor has auv common or upcOm.
mon sense; that she has any intell1.
gence or ability. But her devotion to
her son, especially her eldest, is one
of the things which has made count
less millions of brides mourn. Wom
ans inhumanity to women has dis
rupted many a family which started
out as if it might be success.
We may admit that the mother-in
law is disturbing element, but fol
the life of us we do not know why
We approve of the mother-in-law. She
is an institution which must be looked
upon with the highest favot. But as
they are particularly well able to care
for themselves, we are not Interfering
in the fight. We only desire to call at
tention to the fact that there are az
many fathers-in-law as mothers-in-law
but no one ever heard complaint
against the male variety. This is to
the credit of the male sex. We do not
make trouble. We simply bear it and
suffer in Philadelphia In
uuirer.

ALFALFA MEAL FOR FEEDING
Not Gaining In Popularity as Dairy
Feed-Grindino Adds Nothing
to Its Value as Food.

Grinding alfalfa hay into meal as a
feed for horses, cattle or hogs is a
questionable practice 1t is certain
that grinding adds nothing to the
food value but it does add consider
ably to the cost of the feed In view
of the great palatabiiity of well-cured
alfalfa hay, and the satisfaction with
which it is eaten, the stockman can
not afford the extra expense of grind
ing. Bulletin 155 of the Kansas ex-
pertinent station says:
Within the last year alfalfa meal
has gained great deal of prominence
as a feed for dairy cows. While we
have not been able to carry out care
FULLY conducted feeding experiments
with this product of the alfalfa mill,
we do not feel 1t will prove to be so
valuable for feeding dairy COWS as for
some other class of live stock. The
dairy COW not only has room for, but
needs large amount of roughage in
her ration; and in view of the differ
ence in price between the meal ard
the hay, which, by the way, must be
practically the same in feeding value,
we do not think that 1t is economical
to purchase the meal except in special
cases to be used in the place of bran
for tightening up heavy grain ration.
We believe the COW can do this grind
ing cheaper and to better advantage
than the mill
The Pennsylvania experiment sta
ticn, as a result Of experiments con-
Quoted in feeding alfalfa meal, reports
that the results of this test do not
warrant the recommendation of alfalfa
meal as a substitute for wheat bran
for dairy cows at the present market
prices
The experiments conducted there
showed loss of about per cent in
the milk flow when alfalfa meal was
substituted for wheat bran. The Yer
mont station found loss Of from
to per cent in the milk flow when al
falfa meal was substituted for an
equal weight of wheat bran. This re-
duction in milk flow probably is due
to the difference in the amount of d.
gestible nutrients in the two feeds.

Queer Marital Relations.

Curious marriage customs prevail
among the people dwelling in the Tan
81 Valley in India. Here it seems that
the women are polygamous, and that
several brothers possess one wife In
common. The custom is said to be
due to the poverty of the people. The
children bear the names Of all the
husbands Of the mother How such q
custom as to names works out In
practice It is difficult to comprehend.
The divorce customs are very simple.
II the husband establishes that his
wife Is q bad cook 1t is sufacient
ground; and on the wife's side, II she
can show that her husband fails To
provide for the upkeep Of the house

EGGS Of Leqhorn Hens.

There are few physiological facts
that are worth considering in this
connection If a Leghorn hen weigh.
ing four pounds lays 200 eggs of aver
age size in years time she is pro.
ducing six times her weight in eggs
And bear in mind that egg production
Is not the same thing as production
of flesh or milk. 1t is a reproductive
function Those 200 eggs represent
200 chicks, and under proper condi
tons will hatch about that many. This
is task that is set for no other class
Of livestock. A cow producing zoe
calves year or a SOW giving birth to
1900 pounds of pigs q year would
hardly be expected to found family
in addition.

To Get Rid Of Rats.

One of the cheapest and most ef-
fective poisons for rats and mice is
barium carbonate. Spread the barium
carbonate upon ordinary bread and
butter. The prepared bait should be
placed In rat runs. II one applicatio
fails to drive away or kill all the rats
it should be repeated with . change
of bait. For the poultry yard two
wooden boxes should be used, one
considerably larger than the other,
each having two or more holes In the
sides large enough to. admit rats.
Fowls are thus excluded, but the rats
have free access. Place the poisoned
bait on the bottom and near the middle
of the smaller box and invert the lar
ger box over it.
