The Poultry Yard.

Keep a little gas-tar on hand and
apply it for scaly legs.
You can tell laying hen as far
as you can see her Her comb is
always bright and healthy looking.
February Matched chicks are apt
to mott in the fall, and will not be
worth anything for egg production
in winter
Turkeys more than any other
poultry seem to reqnire fresh air.
They will roost in the trees during
a snowstorm and not seem to mind
it a bit.
Forcing laying hens with stimu-
Tents of any kind, except those ma.
ture supplies in good food, is a dan
gerous and costly process in the
long run.
Soak stale bread in sweet skim
milk, press out the milk as CON-
pletely as possible, and feed the
chicks. Also keep coarse sand be-
fore them; without il the chicks
cannot grind their food
Put some ots in a box that will
not leak; wet them thoroughly with
warm water. cover them well, let
them stand ote Whole Gay. then
turn them into a box that does not
leak Keep putting warm water On
them morning ard night till sprouts
are well started Spread them out
thinIy, moisten more, and keep this
up till the sprouts are of the requir-
ed length. Some folks let them
grow a foot long. No finer feast for
the birds than Oat sprouts.
Hens will soon be bringing good
prices, and the high price will tempt
many farmers to sell their hens off
too closely. 1t will pay the average
farmer to keep goodly number of
hens the year around. When hatch
ing time comes. if incubators and
breeders are not used, it takes sew
eral hens to do the work of hatch
ing and rearing the chicks. and we
like TO have enough others to keep
the eee-basket filled. Eggs to sell
every week means a small bill at
the grocery. Can't have the eggs
unless we hold on to enough hens.

How to be Certain of
 Curing Constipation

Prejudice Is hard thing to overcome, but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours. prejudice then be- comes your menace and you ought to lay 1t aside. This is said in the inter est of people suffering from chronic constipation, and it is worthy of their attention.
 American people the most stubborn constipation imaginable can be cured by brief use of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of it before. but do not doubt it's merits on that account, or because 1t has not been blatantly advertised. It has sold very successfully on word of mouth recom- their children today who were given 1t by their parents, and 1t has been truth fully said that more druggists use 1t personally in their families than any other laxative.
