IN THE DAYS OF YOUR GRAND
MOTHER.

No doubt you remember, as child, the
simple but effective remedies that your meth
er or your grandmother used to give you when
you weren't feeling well. No matter what
the trouble might be, her little potions were
pretty sure to hit the mark and restore you to
a normal condition. All of which serves to
illustrate how much virtue there is in many of
the old fashioned preparations.
We don't hear so much nowadays about the
medicines of grandmother's days. One prep
aratlon, however, can be mentioned that has
been household word for more than a hun
dred years. 1t owes its long life and widely
Increasing popularity to just one thing-merit.
The name of this preparation is Johnson's
Anodyne Lininlent. The quickness with
which it relieves many internal and external
ailments is nothing short of remarkable
If you have sprain, wrenched knee or
ankle, lame back, sore muscles, lunbago,
stiff joints. muscular rheumatism, Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment will give quick relief.
Taken internally. few drops on sugar, it is
equally effective in relieving coughs, hard
colds, sore throat, catarrh, asthma, bronchitis.

COlBY'S RAPID GROWTH.

The statistics of Colby College, re-
Gently compiled, show that there are
now 1886 students in college, gain of IS
per cent. since 1907, when the registra-
ton was 239. Of the 1896, 253 are men
and 143 are women. The freshman class
numbers 141 students 80 men and 40
women. There are 70 sophomore men
and SO sophomore women; total, Ill; 50
junior men, and 81 junior women; total,
81; 81 senior men, and % senior women;
total 60. Of the entering class, 46, or 80
per cent, are from other States than
Maine. Of the entire registration, LOG
or 20 per cent. are from outside the Pine
Tree State.
Colby was chartered on Feb. q, 1918,
by the State of Massachusetts, although
the college was not opened until 1878.
Feb. q, 1918, will probably be observed
with some fitting recognition as the
Tooth anniversary of Colby's birth.

FREE SHIPBUILDING MATERIAL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Z. Sec MacVeagh
of the Treasury today completed the
regulations governing the importation of
shipbuilding material, equipment and
machinery into the United States free
of duty, in accordance with the act
The regulations will be made public in
stood, for free entry of wireless ap-
paratus, sails and rigging as part of the
equipment of ship. These have been
disputed points.
1t was necessary for the department
to define what is equipment and what is
vessel. the law applies only to ives
sells" According to reliable authority,
it is held that a vessel is a craft of five
tons or more, that is, documented or
registered ship. Consequently, free en-
try is not accorded to materials for rae
ing shells and other small craft
The regulations, it is said, will admit
bolts, nuts, rivets, plates and the
like which go into the construction of a
ship or its machinery. Engines or auxil-
larry machinery, such as pumps, dyna-
mos, etc., set up or knocked down, will
not come in free because the law speci-
fes materials for the construction of
machinery. Furniture, china and glass
ware will be admitted as equipment.
Dealers, it is declared, will not be per-
.mitted to stock their places with free
ship materials, but must make the i'm
portations for specific purposes. The
Treasury Department will undertake the
mammoth task of tracing the articles
into consumption.
Free equipment will be allowed only
once, it is said. That is, vessel cannot
from time to time replace its equipment
as it is worn out.

When wet mashes are fed, be sure

When wet mashes are fed, be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may be
fed mixture of equal parts hard boiled
eggs and stale bread, or stale bread
soaked in milk. When bread and milk
are used, care should be exercised to
squeeze all milk out of the bread. From
the third or fourth day, until the chicks
can eat wheat and cracked corn, COM
mercial chick feed is good ration.
Plenty of pure, fresh water, grit, shell
and green feed, should be available from
the first day.
Fed the chickens about five times
daily and only what they will eat up
clean in few minutes, except at night,
when they should receive all they want.

Important Information from the Govern
ment.
Correspondence Of the Boston Transcript
WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1912. With
the craze for poultry raising spreading
backyards in which to operate, scientific
knowledge of the best methods is eager
ly sought. The Department of Agricul-
ture has recognized the popular demand
for information upon this subject by the
issuance of many bulletins. A model of
its kind has just been prepared by Harry
M. Lamon, senior animal husbandman in
poultry Investigations Of the Animal
Husbandry Division. Mr.. Lamon com
presses into one line whole ocean of
sage advice, and the ambitious poultry
man who reads his little pamphlet will
know something by the time he finishes
it.

A splendid mixture for laying hens is

Bran or middlings and beef scraps
should be kept in receptacles to which
the fowls have access at all times.
Plenty of exercise increases the egg
yield.
Provide four or five feet of good, clean
litter in which to scatter the grain.
Cabbages, mangels, potatoes, etc.,
make excellent green feed.

POULTRY HOUSES AND FIXTURES


In most localities the building should
face the south, as this insures the great
est amount Of sunlight during the win
ter.
Allow at least two square feet of floor
space per bird.
Proper ventilation and sunlight mean
dry house and healthy birds.
The partly open-front house is conced-
ed to be the best type for most sections.
The colony plan of housing poultry
may be adopted to good advantage on
many farms. This system does away
with the danger of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the same
level, two feet six inches from the floor,
with dropping board about eight inches
below them.
Good roosts may be made of two by
two-inch material with upper edges
rounded.
The nests may be placed on the side
walls or under the dropping boards. 1t
is best to have them darkened, as the
hens prefer secluded place in which to
lay.

HOW TO. SELECT STOCK.

Following are some of the tabloid rules
laid down by Mr.. Lamon:
Be sure that the male at the head of
the flock is purebred.
The Mediterranean or egg breeds are:
Leghorns, Minorcas, Spanish, Blue An
dalusians and Anconas.
The American or general purpose
breeds are: Plymouth Rocks, Wyan-
dottes, Javas, Dominiques, Rhode Is
land Reds and Buckeyes.
The Asiatic or meat breeds are: Brah-
mas, Cochins and Langshans.
The English breeds are: Dorkings,
Orpingtons and Redcaps.
For farm use the American breeds are
probably the best.
Purebred poultry means uniformity of
products.
Uniformity of products means in
creased profits, if products are properly
marketed.
Given the same care and feed, pure
bred fowls will make a greater profit
than mongrels.
Subscribe for a good poultry paper
Every poultry keeper should have a
copy of the American Standard of Per-
lection, to be obtained of S. T. Camp
bell, Mansfield, Ohio.

ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL METHODS.


A wel'-ventilated cellar is the best
place to operate the incubator.
The machine should be operated ac-
cording to the manufacturers direction.
Eggs saved for Matching purposes
should not be subjected to high or low
temperatures.
In cold weather place from ten to
thirteen eggs under the hen, in warm
weather from thirteen to fifteen.
Always test the hen on china or nest
eggs before setting.
Given proper care and attention, the
hen is the most valuable incubator for
the farmer.
Use insect powder freely to eXtermi-
nate lice when necessary.
If several hens are set in one room, it
is desirable to contine them in good nests.
Straw and hay make good nesting ma
terial.
Setting hens should be moved at night
Whole corn is a good feed for setting
hens. Water, grit, and dust baths should
also be provided.
All eggs should be tested by the
seventh day, which often makes it pos
sible to reset some of the hens
Toe-mark the chickens as soon as they
are Matched.
Powder the chicks occasionally during
the first eight weeks.
Start the brooder day or two before
putting in the chicks, to see that the
heating apparatus is working properly.
Br0oder lamps should be cleaned every
day.
Chicks should not receive feed until
they are thrty-siX hours old.
In cool weather ten to thirteen chicks
are sufficient for one hen, while in warm
weather fifteen to twenty can be cared
for successfully.
Never mix chicks of different ages.
Confine the hen until the chicks are
weared.
The coop for hens and chicks should be
well ventilated, easy to clean, and of
sufficient proportions to insure comfort.
Select location that has natural
drainage away from the building. A
dry. porous soil. such as sand or gravel
ly loan, is preferable to a clay soil.
