SALT IN THE POULTRY FOOD
No Living Thing Can Get Along En-
tirely Without It and Chickens
Should Have Food Sailed.

Many people labor under the i'm
preston that no salt should ever be
put into poultry food. simply because
highly sailed food, such as salt fish
or picked meat. has sometimes killed
chickens. AS matter of fact, no liv-
ing thing can get along entirely with
out salt in some form. Chickens can
always get salt in summer by eating
grass. which absorbs certain
amount from the soil. But in winter
1t is different. During cold weather
all prepared chicken food. such as
mashes and boiled vegetables, should
be sailed in about the same proper
ton as for human food. II this Is
done. the poultry will be healthier
and more productive.

DUST BOX FOR WINTER USE
Combination Of Hard Coal Ashes and
Powdered Tobacco Stems Keeps
Hens Free From Lice.

Thinking the hens did not use
their dust bath as much as they
ought, and believing the reason for
this to be because the dust mate
rial was so cold, we changed condi-
tons in this way. A dry goods box

The bottom boards were removed
and a new bottom nailed on, which
was one-fourth inch thick. Another
box. just enough larger to allow the
first to slip inside easily, was next
found. This was placed in the sun
niest spot in the hen house and filed
to within four inches of the top with
fresh horse manure. On top of this
the smaller box was set and filled to

DEAFNESS Cannon BE CURED

by local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portions of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure edafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing Will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condt-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give 500 for any case

People not raised on a farm do
not realize that the farmers do the
thfnking and the clear thinking of
this country. Ignorant city people
think of the farmer as man ex-
h.usted at the days end, too tired
to think. The farmer may be tired
from his knees down and he gem

gets his boots off and has a few
minutes rest. But from the eyes

pound weight attached to the lower
end This should be just high enough
to hang the bird to be picked at a
convenient height. The weight is
used to save tying knot each time;
as all that is necessary is to wind
the string around the birds legs, and
the weight will hold it securely. Use
a box or barrel to catch the feathers;
and a small paint-can, with a hook
fastened to the handle, is hooked
Into the birds mouth to catch the
blood and prevent its soiling the
feathers. 1t requires very little prac.
tice to kill the birds in this manner.
After the bird is hanged by the legs,
cross the wings at the back and
grasp the head in the left hand, the

knife in the right hand. make a dag
onal cut across the roof of the mouth,
just where the arteries enter the
head. Then, with the point of the
blade, pierce the brain in about the
middle of the roof of the mouth,
which will loosen the feathers. The
moment the operation is finished, the
bird should be plucked, as the cool
ing of the body makes the feathers
harder to pick. A common pocket
knife, with a medium-sized blade,
makes a good instrument for stick
