Absurd Hjndoo Beliefs,

Self-renunciation is one of the fea-
lures of Hindooism. A writer says:
"The ascetic life is the natural fruit
of the pessimism of India. In no 9TH
er country Is such transcendant merit
attached to modification of the flesh.
Ascetics press their martyrdom to al
most incredible limits; they will pass
their days outstretched upon bed of
SPIKES; they will hold up an arm till
it withers in the socket; literally they
treat the body as though it were a
slave. The devotee is saluted every
where as maharaja, men of wealth
and position constantly IN their de-
clining years resign their possessions
to their heirs, and wait for death in
nakedness and poverty by the Gauges
at Benares; nay, it is no uncommon
thing that young men, the products of
our universities, should relinquish
their interests and their ambitions
and join the wandering army of devo-
tees who, literally in sackcloth and
ashes, seek grace in an amending
round of pilgrimages."

FATTEN TURKEYS AND GEESE
Former viii Put on Flesh Rapidly u
Fed Corn and Allowed Range
Geese Need Water.

In answer to query as to the best
method of fattening turkeys and
geese, an exchange publishes the fol-
lowing reply:
AS rule, turkeys do not fatten
quickly II shut up in yards or small
enclosures, but put on flesh rapidly
II fed corn and allowed to range. In
the absence Of corn. wheat would be
the next best with a change to oats
every second or third feed. Young
turkeys make rapid growth If given
fair chance, and to turkey fair
chance means plenty of room. He Ia
best contented when he can go where
ever he likes, and Disconnected one
will not thrive. At this season Of
year he can do no harm If given the
run of the farm. BY feeding in the
evening sufficient to fill the crop he
will grow well on this, together with
what he has foraged during the day.
II fed heavily in the morning, he will
not forage so well during the day, but
the evening feed will serve to send
him to roost with full crop and also
induce him to come home to roost.
Don't attempt to induce them to roost
under cover until the really cold
weather comes. If you do they will
probably suffer from cold, which may
lay the foundation for roup later on.
Pullets will not make good breeders
next spring, so save the best of the
old hens.
II you mean to force feed" your
geese in the way that you would fowl
for the market, I don't think that the
quality of the flesh you would thus
add would be appreciated by the con-
sumner. Constant feeding of corn with
plenty of water will make a goose
that is not on free range mass of
fat without much solid flesh. Plenty
of corn fed while the flock has free
range and can get sufficient other
food, such as grass. to balance the ra-
ton Will make a good fieshed and
well fatted carcass. Water plays an
important part in fattening geese, and
they must have plenty Of 1t II the
food they consume is to produce the
best results. In all cases Of fatten-
ing 1t is much better for the breed.
ing stock that are to be kept over II
they can be separated from the stock
that is to be fattened, and this also
saves on the feed bill This is where
the colony house plan Of yarding
comes in useful.

LUCKY NUMBER OF AGE
SUPERSTITION NOT CONFINED
TO ANY ONE LAND.
Zach OF the Disits Has Long Been In
vested With Mystical Qualities
Which Even Free Thinking
People Still Recognize.

The number l Is esteemed as very
lucky by the Japanese, who allot but
one day to each of the several opera
tons OF husbandry, leaving that por-
ton OF the crop that could not be
gathered In one day.
The second digit acquired an espe-
ciallJ evil reputation among the early
Christians because the second day
hell was created, along with heaven
and earth. 1t also seems to have been
number unlucky in English dynas-
ties. Harold II. was slain in battle,
William II. and Edward II. were MUIR
dered, Ethelred H., Richard II. and
James II. were forced to abdicate,
and Henry H.. Charles II. and George
Ii. were unfortunate in many ways.
Little mystery was attached to the
numbers and 8. In folk lore the
four-leaved clover Is considered es-
pecially lucky.
The Cabalists asserted that the
number was potent in mystical prop
critics. The world was created In six
days, the Jewish servant served six
years.
The number has been invested
with more mystery than all the other
d1g1ts put together, and to 1t were
ascribed magic and mystical Qualities
possessed by no other number. Sew
eral learned treatises have been writ
ten on this number, and septenary
combinations have been sought every
hn 30
led to septenary division of time to
all ages. Several of the Jewish feasts
lasted seven days. Elisha sent Naa-
man to work in the Jordan seven
times. and Elijah sent his servant
from Mt. Carmel. seven times to look
for rain. For seven days seven priests
with seven trumpets invested Jericho,
and on the seventh day they encom-
passed it seven times.
There were nine earths, according
to medieval cosmogony; nine heavens,
nine rivers of hell and nine orders of
angels. The number being perfec-
ton, since it represented divinity, was
often used to signify great guam
tity, as in the phrases, "A nine days
wonder" "a cat has nine lives" and
Nine tailors make a man" In Scot
land, distempered COW was cured by
washing her in nine surfs. To see
nine magpies is considered extremely
lucky. Nine knots made in a black
wooden thread served as a charm in
the case of a sprain. 1t was also be-
lieved, and is still by some. that if a
servant girl finds nine green peas in
one pod and lays them on the window
sill the first man that enters will be
her beau. Nine grains of wheat laid
on four-leaved clover enables one, II
= said, to see the fairies.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten9
The reason is plain-the article did not
fulfil the promises of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to a
medicine. A medicinal preparation that
has real curative value almost sells it.
self, as like an endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
have been cured, to those who are in
need of it.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says, "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
a preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recommend,
for in almost every case it shows i'm
mediate results, as many of my custo.
mers testify. No other kidney remedy
that know Of has so large sale."
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulfls
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and Bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
