1t is Very essential to keep them off
the grass in the morning while the
dew is on. After they are allowed to
range feed them little each evening
to bring them home. Always have a
pile of air-slaked lime and grit where
they can get at it and see how eager
ly they will go after 1t on coming
home. If any of them droop look for
lice in the quill feathers Of the wing

week after that until eight weeks old.

KEEPING A POULTY RECORD
Knowledge of Receipts and Expendi,
lures Is of Great Assistance
to Chicken Raiser.
tBy r. d. scHMIDT.)

One of the greatest needs of most
poultry keepers is definite record
of expenditures and receipts. In too
few cases does the owner of a poultry
flock actually know whether his fowls
have been an expense to him or have
paid profit. This is perhaps truer
in regard to poultry than with most
other branches Of animal industry,
because OF the facts that both ex-
penditures and receipts are spread
over the entire year and are individ-
ually small, that large part of the
product is used at home, and that the
poultry keeping is incidental to the
other farm work.

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital ci.y, the Various
State institutions and DIFF.
ferent Parts of the

Pierre.-Ever since the enactment
of the law creating the department of
the state game warden, there has
been question as to whether the
legislature ever made any specific ap-
preparation for that department. While
the law provides for game license fees,
and further provides that such fees
shall be used for the expenses of the
department, and that any surplus
funds after paying tn expenses of the
department may be used for the pur-
chase of game for stocking the state,
the law contains no specific appropria-
ton of the fees so collected for either
the expenses of the department or
any other expenditure of such funds
State Auditor Anderson is inclined to
draw the lines closer than have other
auditors in regard to public eXpendi-
lures, and while he has been allowing
warrants on the game fund up to the
present, he has decided that after the
beginning of the fiscal year which
commenced July l. he will wait for

Forest Reserve.
Pierre.-The state land department
field force is preparing for the COM
pletion of the work in the forest re-
serve of the Black Hills which was
started last year, for tho segregation
of the state lands in that reserve, and
the transfer of scattered sections to
the government taking in lieu COM
pact body of timber east of Custer. The
work was pushed along last fall with a
hope of getting the matter cleared UP,
but the coming of cold weather stop
ped the field work before it was final
ly closed up, leaving the timber on a
number of sections of the lieu lands
to be scaled. 1t is expected that this
work can be completed, and the trans
fers from the state to the government,
and from the government to the state
made this year. This will settle lot
of trouble on the part of the state in
looking after the timber on scattered
tracts, and allow them to concentrate
on one compact body, and give it the
care necessary. And in that direction
the state will have an opportunity to
do something in the way of timber
conservation of its own after the tract
is once transferred to state control.

--- Z gFl@
"Pull out one gray hair and a doz-

ing. which is, to a great extent, true,
if no steps are taken to stop the
cause. When gray hairs appear it Is
a sign that Nature needs assistance.
1t is Natures call for help. Gray
hair, dull, lifeless hair, or that that
of advancing age, for there are thou
sands of elderly people with perfect
heads of hair without a single streak
of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when
the hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one OF the
best prepearatiins to use is the old
fashioned sage tea" which our
grandparents used. The best prep
aration of this kind is Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy a prepar-
alton of domestic age and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later
discovered hair tonics and stimulants,
the whole mixture being carefully ball
anced and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is clean
and wholesome and perfectly HARM

removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its natur-
al color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what difference u few
days treatment will make in your
hair.
