get away from the dunghiil idea and

Poultry breeders have been telling
Us for years that the pure-bred poul-
try are the best layers. and this is
echoed and re-echoed every day in
the year by the poultry papers. and
most of us have come to believe it.
But has any one ever been able to
demonstrate by careful experiments
or tests that the pun ,-breds are bet
ter layers than the cross-breds or the
ordinary farmyard fowl?
We are apt to tell the farmers
every day that they know nothing
about poultry; that they ought to
study up. We tell about this system
and that system. and special poultry
farms. and tell them to go and do
likewise. But he goes on in his own

There is no such thing as bringing the

There are no groves of them-the
trees are scattered, perhaps not more

there is no water course at hand on
which the logs may be foated to the
port. The tree has to be located by
the hunter" whose business 1t is to
roam through the forest in search Of
mahogany trees and to blaze a way to
them, so that they may be found
again. Then the workmen must cut
their laborious way to the tree, using
for the purpose the deadly machete.

There is no such thing as a forest of

CHRONIC ULCERS
INDICATE BAD BLOOD

Where the blood is pure any wound
or laceration of the flesh heals "by
first intention" This is true because
nature has provided a constituent to
the circulation known as Plasma,
which joins and holds the place to-
gether until the fibres and tissues can
permanently knit ard Intervene.
Whenever the ulcer becomes chronic
it is because this healing quality of
the blood has been impaired by some
impurity in the circulation, and the
place remains open, injecting all sur
rounding flesh, until the character of
the circulation is changed. No sore
can heal where the blood is bad be-
cause the morbid impurities on which
it thrives are constantly deposited
into it by the burdened circulation.
Cleanse the blood and the sore will
heal of its own accord, because then
its very source and foundation will
have been destroyed. S. S. S. cures
Chronic Ulcers of every kind for the
